Return 22 year old TV and get refund
by 8DonCo Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:23 pm
One Costco customer recently decided to test the limits of the company’s return policy.
Reddit user estaack shared a photo of what might be the oldest product ever attempted to be returned at the big box store.
“I just watched someone return a TV — it was purchased in 2002,” reads the post from April.
“I thought it was a prank when I saw it. As a person that doesn’t really take advantage of Costco’s impressive return policy, would a person receive a full refund?”
As seen in the photo, the TV set is a blast from the past, when electronic companies had yet to perfect the sleek screens that we know today.
Estaack told Daily Mail in April that the return was spotted at a Costco in Pennsylvania. The user wasn’t sure if the refund was issued, but they overheard customer service suggest the chunky TV was bought in 2002.
The model looks to be a Samsung HCL552W Rear Projection, which was available in the US in 2002.
“This is WILD. 22 years later who just decides to roll in and return a TV, lol,” replied one Redditor to the post.

“I’m more shocked that they still have their receipt after 22 years,” added another.
Several Redditors suggested that if the product was purchased before 2007, the customer likely would’ve been owed a refund. That was the year Costco tightened its return policy on electronics, accepting returns only within 90 days from the date of purchase for items like TVs, projectors, major appliances and computers.

Before then, the store had allowed customers to return electronics (except for personal computers) at any time for a full refund.
Costco Canada told Daily Hive over email that they could not comment on the specific example in the Reddit post and referred us to their return policy

Mà họ cũng kiên nhẫn chờ 22 năm xong mới return và còn giử cái receipt lâu vậy. Khi thấy return policy changed sang 90 ngày thì sao 0 mang đi return lúc đó cho rồi. Bây giờ 22 năm sau thì I am sure những nhân viên Costco cũng phải đi lục tìm coi cái new policy này changed lúc nào trong khi đó bao nhiêu người đứng chung quaynh dùm ngó mình cũng quê nửa.

Gà, đồ electronic thường họ cho 90 ngày thì phải... nhưng vì những tin tức kiểu này nên I tried, biết đâu họ cho mình trả lại, sự thực thì họ đâu có chịu đâu...
Ý Qtip muốn nói là mấy cái tin này không nên tin 100%
