I once had to send an H-P laptop back four times till it finally went out of warranty and they wouldn't help me anymore.
I bought a Toshiba from Sam's Club when we first got down here. It crashed a couple weeks later. Rather than go through the rigamarole of sending it back to Toshiba, I took it to Sam's and returned it. Of course, they inspected it to be sure I hadn't thrown it across the room or some such. When it wouldn't boot up for them, no questions asked, I got a refund.
That's my only experience with Sam's down here, but it was a good one.

That is the main reason that I always buy televisions, computers, and electronics at Sam's. They have a 90 day return policy on those items. If you had bought it at Best Buy, after 2 weeks, you have have been out of luck.
Another thing about Sam's that some people don't know is that you can use the pharmacy and optical departments without being a Sam's member. I think it is state law. If you use expensive prescription drugs, Sam's will often have a significantly lower price than other pharmacies. Non-members get the same price as regular members, but "Plus" members often get a much lower price on prescription drugs.
