Wayfair too.
Returns are so easy and the credits are done in 2 days. We called about a lamp because the finial holding the lamp shade did not fit correctly. They sent us a new lamp next day, and just last week we received a new finial...wth?

Amazon is a customer of ours - CTC, Costco and Walmart are much tougher to deal with.

I returned a TV to Costco last year - it wasn't working properly.

I had a big explanation all rehearsed - they didn't care. Just asked me how I wanted my refund.

Best part is I just took it and bought the exact same TV - so I got a new warranty with it.

I bought a 75" Sony. I didn't like it so I returned to Costco.

They had to make sure it was the same serial number as on the box so me and another guy had to half-unpack the thing in the store... other than that, no problem

Bought the 65" LG OLED, have not regretted that choice

Yes. On the shire. Often traveling to dangerous places and fighting evil villains. Obsessing over a ring and doing all the work while a crafty old man convinces you to do all the hard work while he takes all the credit.

Yep. Sandstrom won a Cup with Detroit 4 years later. Didn't score much. Didn't have to. Bowman liked him. He was a real stick artist bastard earlier in his career.

Yep, back page deals with suppliers cover all of that. Logistics are key. For direct to consumer deals, consumers can return at will. They can use the product for a weekend and return it. The key is how your contract is set up. On any returns, Costco will want to apply a debit for freight out and freight back...which can be more than the the profit on the sale, and that’s on top of the credit for the goods. You have to be careful.

Anyone seen Dom Luszczyszyn's numbers for playoff probabilities this morning?

Toronto Maple Leafs:

100% to make the playoffs. OK, I can agree with this.

76% to make it to round 2. That seems a little high - 3 in 4? But OK.

57% to make it to round 3. If I'm mathing correctly, that's making us heavy, heavy favourites to win round 2. Like, 75% chance.

37% chance to make it to the Finals. 65% to win round 3? Really?

21% chance to win the Stanley Cup. Just take a moment to look at that, breathe it in. Mmmmmmmmm. 57% chance of winning final round.

Don't bother trying to argue these numbers, because Dom uses numbers and spreadsheets and logarithms and math and stuff.

I read that Bestbuy hates the World Cup (football), because people buy giant-assed TVs, use them for a month, then return them.

Chicago continues to cheat the cap system at an incredible pace. Leafs did well with Robidas Island but they have nothing on the Hawks. First they squirm out of Hossa with Jockstrapgate now this baloney. Would do a happy dance if the league hit them with penalty on this one.
