unmadecastle Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 On BF I bought a Gameboy Advance Sp at walmart for 48.00. I was wondering if any one else got one that doesn't work. The screen doesn't work. You can hear the sounds the game makes but there is no picture. Do you think Walmart will exchange it for the new gameboy advance sp's they have. (With the better back lit screen.) I cant hardly wait to get to Walmart. I have been waiting for Friday all week and now we are in the middle of a winter storm so I am still not going to be able to go shopping!.
elena_398 Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 For once, everything is great. Im pleased this year with everything. Knock on wood! Im sure Walmart will exchange your GameBoy SP. Get that receipt though.

I would take it up there, I dont see why they wouldnt exchange it.
JennyWLS Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 I am very disappointed in the portable DVD player I got from Target on Black Friday. It was a Kawaski 9", and the first one didn't work out of the box, neither did the 2nd. I returned it today and just got my money back. What a waste of time and effort. Not to mention the stress of having to return something to Target to begin with.
KBsDarling Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 bought one and it works great DD loves it to pieces! was worrid she wouldnt be able to use it and she took it right up :) Walmart may be claiming to be more strict on returns but i would think if its defective they will change it out no trouble. If not i was looking at nintendo last night and they do have a warranty so they may be able to help you out as well if walmart is a butt
CG480 Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 I do not see why walmart would give you any trouble. Do you have your slips from whe you bought them. If not they will give you store credit. I see no problem for returning them for other gameboys.
malachitecat Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 I love the laptop I got from WM, 1 gb flash drive from officemax, and 25 movies from various places. Everything is working just fine *knock on wood*. Everything else I got on BF was regular price stuff and not a problem with it either.
unmadecastle Posted December 30, 2005 Author Posted December 30, 2005 I do have the reciept. I hope I don't have any trouble.
mombbsmj Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 If Walmart gives you trouble, Nintendo should replace it for you with no problem. All of their systems have a 1 year warranty.
mom2thegirls Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 I almost was. The SIMS complete collection we got on sale at BB wouldn't load on the computer. Now, I wasn't trying to load it, the teenager was. I had her turn off Macaffe, reenter the code, do a clean boot etc., everything I could think of to get this thing to load. I'm thinkin', "Great. Of all the ones at BB, we got a lemon." This went on for a few days. Lo and behold she tries one more time on Wednesday. Guess what she was doing wrong? She was entering the code, which was in all caps, in lower case letters. Once she used caps, badda-bing, it worked. Now she is very happy. Its nice when there's one less reason for a teenager to be grumpy.
laffnatu Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 As long as you have your receipt, I don't see why you should have a problem. good luck!
decafmom Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 I exchanged mine at WM before Christmas. I got one of the older ones and just went to Customer Service and told them I wanted to exchange it for a different color. It hadn't been opened, but I wouldn't think it would matter when you go to return yours. Good luck!
KBsDarling Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 well my earlier No problem at wlamrt needs to be amended Went to return a dupe movie my daughter got she knew what she wanted the greeter chickie tagged me and all when we got in there was told by the girl behind the CS counter that "We dont have customer service at night" If i wasnt so ticked it woulda mad me laugh

KBsDarling Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Was told they dont do returns money orders or postal transactions after 10pm when i went back this morning to exchange the item. You would think then since they dont have to man the CS desk at night that would mean more people to work during the day and yet there is still just one person back there. We stood in line for like 45mins. i was so happy w/ Walmart after BF the one we went to in cleveland was fast well planned and a good experience....i then come home to mine and think maybe they got better...NOPE...Every year I get suckered into thinking How bad can they be and yet they are always that bad LOL Sorry for the thread Jack!
love2beurwifey Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 I am pretty pleased with everything I got
unmadecastle Posted December 31, 2005 Author Posted December 31, 2005 Well I drove the 50 miles to walmart today (on icey roads) and exchanged the gameboy! They wernt sure if I could do an even exchange because it was a blitz item. I was darned if I was paying the 30.00 difference. So they finally gave in and I now have a pretty blue gameboy. And it works too!
biomajor Posted December 31, 2005 Posted December 31, 2005 Oh good!! I'm glad they exchanged it for you

Oh well!!
bravesrule62382 Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I got a shredder from circuit city that was $5 after rebate, it hasn't worked very well since I got it out of the box, keeps getting stuck (even on one sheet of paper!). But I don't guess you can complain a lot about a $5 shredder
