Best Buy Repair Support

[rhosket]

We work from home, and upon returning a warrantied surface pro that was randomly black screening through the day, I was informed by the Geek Squad Manager at the Pearland, TX Best Buy that he could authorize an immediate replacement, or give us a equivalent gift card so we could replace it and be up and working asap, but in his words "It wouldn't cost me or Best Buy anything to do this, but I am choosing not to. I'm sending it for repair per policy and you may get it back or a gift card in 1 - 3 weeks."

Most of our technology comes from Best Buy, to include installs for many of the new developments we're constructing, but unless this is resolved in a way that allows us to resume work on Monday I will take all future business elsewhere.

I was under the impression they always have to send them in to be looked at by the repair center before issuing a gift card. (surfaces are considered disposable and are replaced rather then repaired)

[rhosket]

Sure, but being able to fix the situation imediatly, stating that he could at no loss, but still "choosing not too" and leaving us hanging for 1-3 weeks is rude and obscene
