Bought a laptop and realized it wasn't for you? No problem, you can return it within 30 days--that'll be $150, please. Restocking fees are an easy way for vendors to make a tidy profit from a consumer's buying misstep. The rationale for such fees may be to discourage cheapskates who have no intention of keeping a device from buying it, using it for a short time--say, for the length of a vacation--and then returning it; but the practical result is that you can get slapped with a fee ranging from 10 percent to 25 percent of the purchase price just for the privilege of returning a gadget you're not happy with. |

Thanks Ms. Ruchi Chawla for the referral. I support this sides views.
This is not something particular to tech industry. Corporates are very free to earn with these tactics , in the name of business.
It's basically the result of corrupt agencies that work for consumer rights protection, such that even after being badly cheated, common people don't bother to take the headache of complaining in consumer courts. And say even after complaining and getting a judgement in favour, a person becomes aware of the time and headaches involved. Plus, frequency of such tactics to sell products is so high and common, that it's not possible to complain for each of them . In addition, all this does never mean that the particular cheating has stopped. It's just like, you saved yourself from the hunter, by somehow daring to complain in the consumer court. Consumer court warned the hunter. Hunter smiles and says "sorry!" , and moves ahead to find his next victim.

You've been here before: One store has the laptop you want at the price you want to pay, the other costs a little more but has a better return policy (and some store credit that you want to use up). Everyone has a price-matching guarantee--so no problem, right? "We're sorry," the manager tells you, "these are two different laptops." "What? But the specs are the same!" you cry. "Look here," says the manager, "this USB port is on the left, not the right." This scenario plays out fairly often around the holiday shopping season: A laptop vendor will sell a Best Buy-exclusive laptop for Rs.30000 (in limited quantities), and offer a similar (but not identical) model for 35000 elsewhere. |
