Circuit City

Full review
I buy a lot- Probably too much- From Circuit City. I admit it, I am a Tech junkie. If it's cool and new, then I HAVE to get it. And, I don't want to wait.

Circuit city online lets me shop at the wee hours of the morning, when I am SUPPOSED to be working (Shhh! Don't tell the boss!!). When I find what I want, I stick it in my cart, and buy... Now- Here is the DANGEROUS part- I can let them ship it to me, but that takes time. Precious time that I could spend pushing the shiny new buttons. So, I usually use the store pickup option when I can. By the time I am done working, all I have to do is stop by the store, show an ID, and walk out with my order. It couldn't be easier.

Another nice thing about dealing with them- and this is a HUGE plus- is that unlike some internet stores that have no 'brick and mortar' retail locations, you can return things that you have a problem with locally. This saves you the hassle and expense of packing things up, shipping them off, and hoping that they get where they are supposed to in good order.

I have bought pretty much all my computers through them- Usually opting to pick them up in store. I am rough on my machines, and usually opt for the extended warranties. They usually pay off for me, since I have my laptops in for repair at least once or twice a year! Circuit city is GREAT when it comes to honoring them, too- No hassles whatsoever- They usually ship me a prepaid box, I put the laptop in it, send it off. That's all there is to it. Sometimes it takes a few weeks- But that's why I always have more than one machine :)

Also, The finance offers are often too good to pass up... Why pay cash when you don't have to :) Ahh, the American way...
