Awful company
I saw a product at CircuitCity.com that was at an unbelievable price. Of course it was out of stock. I went to a local Circuit City to "call" them on their price match guarantee. There was a $213.00 difference between the two stores. The circuit city store would not match the price because they did not carry the model in question in the same color. Yes, the model was the exact same thing except different color. I called CircuitCity.com and of course they did not offer the alternate color that the retail store offered. Isn't it amazing how retail giants can swindle their way out of paying up on their price match "guarantee"? CircuitCity.com and Circuit City stores are obviously not the same Company or I'm sure they would have made sure I got the product for the best price in any color. My real complaint here is that CircuitCity.com is advertising an unbelievable price since they don't have the product in stock. If that is not false advertisement I don't know what is. The person I talked to on the phone when I called them could not guarantee me the product for their "on-sale" price when it is available again. All he would do is register my email so that they could send me an email to let me know that the product is available again. I hope I'm wrong but I would bet my next paycheck that it'll be back to regular price before I see it available again. Back from $499.99 to $699.99.

False advertisement
On December15, 2008 circuit city management stated that they were going to I've out vouchers for Nintendo wii game on December16, 2008 at 8:00 in the am. I arrived at the store at 6:00 in the am to be in line for the voucher at about 7:30In the am I was told the vouchers were given out earlier two of the managers gave two different stories one of them stated they were given out the day before the other manager said they were given out at 7:00am I know for a fact they could of not been given out at 7:00am because I was one of the first people at that time and there was no line I waited till the doors opened at 8:00 in the am at the customer service desk there were people coming in to be rung up for the wii game that was held for them I believe this store was unfair due to releasing these vouchers early and some people were not able to get them I feel they should of complied with their advertisement as said as per management Had I known this was going to happen I would of been there early and secured my voucher. I also noticed there were numerous mistakes on their store ad that is dated12/16/08-12/22/08 there were a lot of merchandise errors and feel that this caused a great deal of disappointments for the consumers and management were not very pleasant with this issues with there customers.
I hope the state of consumer affairs look into this so we don't have to suffer from this numerous mistakes of false advertisement.

Problems, problems, problems
My father bought me a automatic car start for Christmas from Circuit City so it could be installed on my brand new 07 Pontiac G6. He dropped the car off in the morning to Circuit City and later in the afternoon Circuit City called my father and told him they encountered a problem. They said they had deprogrammed the key to my car. They said they were unable to fix the problem and towed my car off the premises (which I never authorized) to Peruzzi Pontiac. Circuit City said my car would be ready by the end of the day. Circuit City called back later in the day and said the car would not be ready because Peruzzi had to order a part. My father became suspicious as to why they had to order a part if the key had only been deprogrammed. He called Peruzzi and found out Circuit City lied about the extent of the damage done to the car. The had cut a ton of wires unnecessarily. One wire needed to be cut to install the starter. The wires Circuit City cut were wires to the airbag, theft system, radio etc. pretty much the whole electrial system was distored. In order to fix the problem Circuit City authorized Peruzzi to solder the wires back together. I never signed a work order for Circuit City or Peruzzi to do this work on the car. I want my car returned to factory condition and the repair of the wires is a quick fix. Circuit City was trying to do the repair quickly so they could get the car back the same day and return it to me so I would never know. In order to restore the car back to factory condition a new body harness should be put on the car. A mechanic at Peruzzi told my father that Circuit City messes up a car at least once a month and brings it to the dealer. Peruzzi seems more concerned about preserving their business relationship with Circuit City than their customers.
Circuit City has turned everything over to their insurance company and they refuse to pay for the installation of the new harness, they will only pay for the repair of the wires. I've been told by several mechanics that this could lead to future problems down the road, for example, if I'm in an accident the airbag may not deploy with a soldered wire. My car is brand new with 6, 000 miles and I believe Circuit City's negligence entitles me to have them restore the car to factory condidtion. I also believe if I had been called by Peruzzi to tell me my car had been brought in and was told the extent of the repairs I could have told them right away to install a new harness and Circuit City's insurance company may have paid for it. Its been 3 weeks and I still do not have my car back at this point. Peruzzi will not release my car until they receive payment for the insurance company. I want my car back but I want it returned to factory condition. I've tried to contact corporate Circuit City and no one will return my calls or give me any answers. I feel helpless. I worked very hard for my new car and I think I deserved to have a choice of where I wanted my car towed and what work should be done on the car. I'm the only one who is losing in this situation, Circuit City will be fine as well as Peruzzi. I've lost the value of my brand new car and feel as if my safety has been compromised.

Vandalism and theft
I purchased a PDA from circuit city and was sold a 'Comprehensive Full Coverage Warranty' to go with it. The salesperson told me that it was a higher level coverage plan then their normal warranty plan and would cover my PDA if ANYTHING happened to it, including fire, vandalism, theft, etc.
My PDA stopped working in August of 2008. I called to get it repaired/replaced and was told I would be receiving a replacement PDA. Instead I got a box to send my PDA away to their repair center(CyberTest). It came back with damage to the external case, and still not working-even though the repair center's web site said they repaired it. They claim there was liquid damage to it-but it was never exposed to any liquids while in my care. They refuse to answer why they damaged the outside case, or why they claim on their web site to have repaired my PDA. The circuit city customer support people have told me I would be receiving a replacement PDA, and that I would be getting a gift card so I can replace my PDA-I have yet to receive either. The circuit city customer support staff also claim my warranty is void because my PDA was sent off to their repair center, and also refuse to answer why my PDA sustained damage while outside of my care. what is the point of paying for a replacement warranty plan if they refuse to honor it and they damage your unit instead of repairing it? I have tried to talk to circuit city's customer support ddepartmenton the phone but they refuse to let me talk to a supervisor (they claim that the supervisors 'do not take calls') and they continually hang up on me. My PDA was damaged/ruined by circuit city and they refuse to make good on their '100% Satisfaction Guarantee'
As of 2/8/06 I am still waiting for my promised replacement PDA and promised refund.

Scammers
Took camera to Circuit City in Ohio, where I purchased it. I was told to write on a card what I wanted fixed and pay $32 in advance. I wrote I wanted "the record button fixed". About 2 weeks later I received a call from JVC and said it would cost $168 to fix the camera. When I asked why the cost was so high they said they also had to clean it and adjust the zoom. I told them I did not want it cleaned and that the zoom was working fine. They said the had an agreement with Circuit City that they had to fix anything "they thought needed to be fixed". I went to Circuit City and said I only wanted the record button fixed as I had requested and they said that I had to have all repairs, cleaning and adjustment done according to JVC. I told them to return my camera and wanted my $32 back, since I was not told of "the agreement Circuit City has with JVC" and I would not have left the Camera if I had been told. They would not refund the money. I also asked to speak to a manager and called the Corporate Offices. When I went to Circuit City to pick up the camera, the clerk said she had never heard of this agreement. In my opinion this is the same as stealing.

Scammers
I bought an $1800.00 HP Laptop from the Circuit City more then 6 months ago. They offered a $150.00 HP mail in rebate and a $50.00 Circuit City mail in rebate. After waiting 4 months and not receiving either rebate I contacted the rebate center for both Circuit City and HP. Both claim they never received my rebate. What are the odds that both did not receive it? Sounds like they did not plan on receiving them. They both told me that the rebate had expired and there was nothing they could do. I wrote to the president of each company detailing what had happened. I received a response back from HP stating they would offer me some coupons for printer ink. They did not state how much they would be worth. I wrote back and stated that they should live up to the agreement and give me my $150.00. If I wanted printer ink I would buy printer ink. I told them that if this is the way they do business I would not buy anymore HP products. This was my fourth HP computer. I said I would also spread the word about their scam. They did not respond. Circuit City never bothers to respond.

new laptop
purchased laptop from Circuit City in Oct. 2008 - they went out of business in 2009 and we had purchased an extended warranty service for this item - it has been impossible to contact any personnel regarding their honoring this insurance and even the web site isn't helpful - additionally if they have gone out of business who do I get, every day, a pop ad advertising their products - mainly I want to know if I need service will it be there for me and where do I get info on this matter.

Scam and cheating
I wanted to purchase a TV but was waiting for some sale offer, just few days before I noticed that there was a sale in this company and decided to purchase the TV without any delay. I went to the store and learnt that the TV was already out of stock I requested them whether there will be any other sale, the owner was very kind and said that in the end of the month they are planning for and said that he would inform me. There were hardly any days for the month to get over so I decided to wait. As said I received a call from the store that the sale was there and only few TVs are in stock, so again without wasting a moment I hurried to the store. When I arrived, they only sold me one TV whereas I wanted 2. In addition to this, I had a 10% percent coupon to use. It was good on the total purchase, sale items included. I picked out a camera, accessories, the TV, and planned on a computer. They would not sell me the second TV. They would not honor the 10% coupon except on the two camera accessory $19.99 items although the coupon said well on total of 199.00 or more. I was very displeased with this behavior and decided to leave the store without any purchases. There are dishonest with their coupons and don't honor prices. They wouldn't even honor the price of the camera that was online for 20 cheaper! Even though on the website, it says pick up at store is an option. I would have ordered online and clicked pick it up if I had known.

Giving the runaround
We Purchased $1, 247 Frigidaire Refrigerator from Circuit City approx 5 months ago with extended warranty. Right after delivery fridge started making noises. Call Circuit City... they said it would do that until water was all circulated and the air was out of the lines, about a couple of weeks. It never quit and got louder, but, to make matters worse, it only makes noise some of the time (intermittent)...called service tech, he showed up and said that there was nothing he could do until he could here the noise...and he left. I went out and purchased a noise activated recorder and recorder the noise (another 30 bucks) called service tech again, and when he showed up, he listened to the noise and asked ME what part was making the noise? I don't know so once again, there is nothing he could do. I then went back over to Circuit City and talked to a manager, He referred me to Their Service Center (another location) where I was told someone would call me back (never happened) so I called them again...after explaining this story 2 more times pretty much got the same story 'unless I can make the Fridge make the noise while a service tech is there' I am SOL. They also told me that I should have notified the store right away! I DID! I have been getting the runaround for almost 6 months now...
