Feb 2, 2008. Modified thread title from "Local shop return policy for 16:9 screen (I'm going 2.35:1 CIH)" to "SonyVPL-VW60 screen size-Was Local shop return policy for 16:9 screen ...." due to thread focus changed around post 21.
(am I breaking a cardinal rule "thou shall not change thread name....")
I ordered a Da-lite 16:9 ratio 100" diag from my local shop on 12/26/07, got it Jan 11 2008 (along with $10k other equipment, Sony VPL-WV60, Paradigm Speakers, etc).
When I picked up the stuff I told my salesperson I was thinking of going 2.35:1 instead of 16:9, could he investigate options and get back with me.
I never opened the screen, it is a std Da-lite order, nothing custom, still in box.
He gave me some options, all out of my budget range, I told him I was going to return the Da-lite and get a 2.35:1 screen elsewhere.
I was then told there would be a 15% re-stocking fee.
Honestly I expected some "nominal" re-stocking fee, like $25 or even $50, to handle shipment back to Da-lite, but 15% flat fee seems too high IMHO (comes out to around $100).
Any advice on how to handle/negotiate with him before I return it?
I'd like to return it this weekend.
Thx for help.
