Radio Shack and Toshiba Complaint

Laptop Coverage Ripoff - Toshiba Model C655-S5052 System Unit

- Apache Junction, AZ
We purchased the Toshiba laptop from Radio Shack at 19735 East Apache Trail and included extended warranty with 2 year replacement plan. The laptop was being carried to college class when the owner was bumped and the laptop was dropped and the screen was broken. When Radio Shack was contacted they claimed they could not cover accidental breakage. The extended warranty plan and insurance coverage was only for design flaws and manufacturers hardware defects coverage. The salesman at Radio Shack was asked at time of purchase, "If this is dropped and breaks the unit will be covered?" The answer provided was "Yes.". Today the people at Radio Shack stated they would not cover the broken screen on the laptop. Obviously the warranty and insurance information provided is misleading. Something somewhere is not right and needs to be corrected, even if it is to prevent someone else from being ripped off like this.

Regards,

I had purchased this computer as well with an extended 2 year warranty. I also asked the guy at radio shack several times if the warranty covered accidental coverage including it being dropped or bumbed since I was buying it for my 13 yr. old son. He said yes. When it was dropped I took it in and again I was told it was covered, the guy even called the warranty center while I was right there and said yes they are saying its covered do you wanna send it in. So I did only to get a call later on telling me it was going to cost over $500 to fix it since it was dropped and the warranty did not cover that. I had refused it to be serviced and had it returned. They then tried to charge me for looking at it. I had to remind them to look at their pamphlet at the 'for Arizona only' section. I havent shopped at radio shack since and never will.
