Just returned from a really unpleasant experience at Walmart. You may recall that I bought the 42” Sharp on Thursday, with assurances that they would do a ‘price adjustment’ today. Well, they let me stand around customer service (it should be renamed customer abuse department) for 30 minutes, while they tried to figure it out. They could not find the person who told me it would be OK (they agreed she was in the store, but they really couldn’t be bothered putting much effort into finding her, until I really started to complain). I told the manager that since he didn’t believe me (essentially calling me a liar), I’d be glad to just return it and go to BB and buy the Panasonic 42” for the same money. He made someone call and sit on hold for 20 minutes to see if I was telling the truth about the sale at BB. Then he said it didn’t matter, since it was not the SAME model. I reminded him that I told him at the beginning it was not the same model. It worked out in the end, and I got the price adjustment. I intend to write a letter to Walmart Corporate that will make their hair catch on fire. PS - I agree with the previous post somewhere above, that we will see lots of markdowns on electronic items, as the season progresses. PTFLynn

The Sharp 42" is Energy Star Compliant. Also, note that at the regular price, the Walmart product care is $59, but when the price on the TV 'drops' to $498, the price on the 2 year Walmart product care is only $29.

My Walmart told me that if I bought the Sharp 42" TV today at FULL price, they would credit me the difference on Saturday, with just the receipt. So that's what we're doing. No muss, no fuss, no lines on Saturday morning. We're not opening the box until we're sure, because if they don't honor their agreement, we'll just return it, unopened. PTFLynn

Using the above advice when I could not get one of the sportcoats I wanted online, I called, and the operator was very nice, but it was also not available there. I was able to get another sportcoat online. The FREE SHIPPING code did not work.
