Scam and cheating!
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 1 votes
No business ethics AT ALL. FutureShop is such a SCAM!! We just purchased a T.V from futureshop in December. At first we wanted a 42inch tv, but they said it was out of stock then they advertised to us a 46inch tv (only 2 available). We asked them whether there can be a discount, and he said he'll asked a manager. He came back and told us he can give us an $100 discount. So we decided to purchase the tv. He later introduced us to a Product Service Plan (PSP) and LURED us into buying it because he said we can purchase it and then refund it within 30days if we decided not to get the PSP. I HAVE ASKED HIM MORE THAN 3 WHETHER WE CAN REALLY REFUND JUST THE PLAN, and he said YES, just bring in the receipt and we can refund the amount for you if you don't like the warranty service.

SO, we have decided not to keep the WARRANTY SERVICE and went in to talk to them. US: We decided not to keep to PSP, can you help us do the refund? FUTURESHOP: NO, you cannot refund it because its part of the PACKAGE

THIS IS BULL. First of all they never told us it was a PACKAGE AND I ASKED THAT SALESPERSON MORE THAN 3 TIMES WHETHER WE CAN REFUND JUST THE PSP and he said YES!!!

AND NOW, we talked to them several times and he INSIST THAT we cannot refund the PSP becuase it was in a PACKAGE!!!

This really pisses me off. Some kind of BUSINESS ETHICS they have!!!

That's not true at all about the inability to refund a warranty. On TVs you do have 30 days to be allowed to return the warranty. I'd speak with someone higher up. Sounds to me like whoever told you that you cannot return it is trying to pull a fast one on you to not lose their commission on it or affect their store numbers.

if you bought a package ( a tv WITH psp ) they can probably give you a deal ( 100 bucks off the total cost of tv + PSP ) if you want to return the package and just buy the TV ( without PSP ) then the package price of getting the 100 bucks off wouldn't be available. The markup on the actual units ( tvs, cameras, computers ) is actually quite low and they do not usually have 100 bucks of "play" in the price, but add on PSP and 100 bucks is easier to take off. I would say your problem arose because of 1 or more of the following:
1. you sales person was trying to be shady ( possible but not likely )
2. sales person didn't know what he was saying/doing ( much more likely )
3. sales person didn't communicate properly what was being done. their fault not yours.( most likely )

Possible solution: speak with manager and suggest one of the following
a. return package and repurchase tv without 100 discount ( no item necessary, just receipt )
b. return package and buy a current in-stock television more in your price range and ask manager if a gift card or small item like hdmi cables or screen cleaner can be thrown in for your troubles. ( have to bring back 47" tv )
c. keep your 47" WITH the psp but still explain your bad experience, alot of managers want to "make it right" and it never hurts to ask

2 side notes: PSP on that large of a tv will result in a repair person to come to your home to diagnose and repair. if your tv gets repaired 3 times and needs a 4th, then you get a new tv.

also, if none of the suggestions get you any more of an "im sorry" ask for the 800 # to call and list your complaint with corp customer courtesy.

I hope this helps.
