    Careful with Returning Items by mail

    I purchased this item but it was defective. I opted to use the mail in return service offered by Best Buy. I dropped my item off and a week later Best Buy sends me back the empty box and tells me they can’t refund the item. Best Buy will do nothing to help unfortunately and I have chosen to take my business elsewhere.
