We got to CC at 4pm and were behind one other group of six people. We were able to get the Compaq laptop for $299 and it was a great deal. We were glad we chose CC bc BB was way more crowded. But they had awful service. Their people were nice, but they really seemed confused about what was going on. When they passed out the vouchers someone asked about the free bundle that you get and they looked surprised, like they hadn't thought that anyone would want those. Their people were nice enough to try and get some together before the store opened though.
Once inside they did not have their sale DVD's separated from the rest of the DVD's, so there was no way to tell which were on sale. My husband was trying to get the $450 projector with free screen and subwoofer and had asked employees outside where he should go to get it, but when inside they sent him around to three different counters before he ended back at the first where someone who was about 50th in line was asking about them too. Of course they had already sold out bc they only had two of them.
The big problem was their checkout. They only had them inside of the different sections, and since we wanted a laptop we had to go to the computer section. About 15 people were in front of us, so we were thinking maybe 30 min or something. But for each person and for each rebate they type in your name and address. Do all Circuit Cities do that? It took forever. Plus they were asking people about bigger screens and printer cables and all that. It took them 45 min to check our one person! It took us THREE HOURS to get out! Plus they didn't print all my rebates and now I've got to go back. Last year I went to BB and I had more rebates than this and it was way less trouble, they just let me fill them out myself.
All in all, I am happy with what I got, but very frustrated with CC.
