Circuit City Returns Under Systemax

Posted by Soulskill on from the part-two-the-revenge dept.

animeking503 was one of several readers to send word that after closing its doors earlier this year, CircuitCity.com is alive and kicking once again. Systemax Inc., the company that owns TigerDirect and CompUSA, purchased the Circuit City e-commerce brand name last month, and has now re-launched the website with promises of lower prices and better service. The Consumerist points out that the new site's return policies leave something to be desired.

    Chrysler is selling rights to the AMC Pacer and Gremlin brands, while a private equity firm is negotiating with Hollywood studios to produce "Ishtar, the Remake".

    Products in need of return for physical defects may not be returned. Products that we ship incomplete may not be returned. Products whose brand name is recognizable may not be returned.

    Honestly their return policy could be greatly abbreviated as follows: "All your base are belong to us"

    A chain that was called "Circuit City"
    Lost all of the cash in its kitty;
        So they gave it some whacks
        With a big System Ax
    And now it will be Circut Shitty.

    I have a bad feeling about this: Smells like Same-pig-different-lipstick effect -- and it smells bad.

    Oh? Which part of "System ax" gives you unease?
