I do not shop at this store and have maybe been inside 2 times in my 6 years living in Roanoke. After being recommended to visit this store from a co worker whose husband works with this stored, I gave them a try.
I went in and bought a pair of ear buds on 8/18/2015 which I was told needed to be shipped in from Blacksburg in order to get the color I wanted and was told it would arrive early the next week. I informed them I would be out of town and would need them to hold them until after I returned, which they stated was no problem.
I asked the clerk about their return policy and he stated if I was not happy, I could return them within a week after I picked them up. I double checked that the 7 days for the return policy indeed started when I picked up the ear buds and they again assured me that was correct.
I picked up my ear buds the next week and tried them out. The volume control did not work with my Galaxy S6, sound quality was not preferred, and they were uncomfortable in the ear and would not stay in no matter which size tips I tried.
Unhappy, I tried to return the product 6 days after my pick up date. They told me I could only return them for store credit since it was longer than 7 days since I purchased them. I explained my case about having only received them 6 days prior due to the shipping process and being out of town.
The clerk went to ask his manager which was within ear shot and I could hear every word. The clerk failed to mention how I failed to receive them only 6 days ago and told the manager I purchased them 2 weeks ago.
He came back over and stated "Since they were bought two weeks ago, they've been opened and used, we couldn't accept a full return. Also, the box has some obvious damage."
I asked him to look up my pick up date and he stated "I remember you picking them up and the computer shows it to be two weeks ago", without ever looking up my receipt order number or phone number.
I said, you remember me because you sold them to me, I even remember your name, but I picked them up no more than a week ago... Also, showed him that the box had a perforated punch hole to stab your thumb through to open, and the whole side of the box is perforated to pull off in order to open the package and they simply said sorry, we can offer you more tips though.
Since I don't shop at this store, since everything is over priced, I took the tips and left.
Now I'm stuck with a lousy sounding pair of ear buds, which don't function properly, and don't fit. And $30+ poorer.
Won't be back and won't be recommending my friends.
