Just thought I would pass this warning on, be careful when/if you buy from Radio Shack in Appleton (Northland Mall).
The HP went on sale a few weeks ago, so I headed to my local Appleton Radio Shack. Of course they
only had the demo, so I said I would buy that, but they told me "THEY COULD NOT SELL THE DEMO".
Ok, so I had to order one, 2 days later it was at the store. I picked it up, got home and noticed that the
box showed some wear and tear. I didn't think much about it, until I open the box up, nothing was wrapped
in plastic bags or twist ties. Took everything out and no paper work of any sort. Next I plugged the unit in
and it was already programed for the Appleton area. After a few days went by, this was really starting to
bug me, so I went to youtube and watched a video and part of the video included unpacking a brand new
unit, needless to say, mine was not new. Of course the Manager was on vacation, so I had to wait until he
returned. on Monday. I contacted him, he agreed that they might of mistakenly sold me a demo and he
said he would order me a new one right away. Well here it is, 7 days and no brand new unit. Called and
beached, got the basic run around again, but this time he promised to have one shipped directly to my
house ASAP. We will see if he is full of BS, as my son just ordered one today online from Radio Shack,
and we will see who's arrives first.
