Subject: RE: BS: Shop At Costco? Keep Your Receipts!
How so, Rich? He paid his money. Then paid again for a new item. His first item was then redundant. Under Costco's no-quibble guarantee he can return the item FOR ANY REASON within 3 years of purchase. Which is exactly what he did.

Costco have had his money for nearly three years. It is now worth less than it was so he has in effect rented the item. He has also now given Costco more of his hard earned cash. How has he got his money back twice? How has he defrauded anyone?

I agree completely with Jeri here. I have on occasions been at loggerheads with Clinton but this time he has shown nothing but common sense. Does anyonr here seriously mean to tell me that if, after purchasing something, they decided they did not want it, for whatever reason, they would not take advantage of this offer? If so, can I come and sell you things? ;-)

Keep it up, Clinton. Asda, that I mentined before, had the same offer for around 5 years. I used it once with a TV. They now have reduced it to one year. Let us know if Costco do the same.

Cheers
