    Okay, I'm trying to be cheeky.

    Lenovo has delayed the shipment of my computer to a week after my school starts.

    As a result, I want to 'borrow' a computer from a retailer (pick it up in Massachusetts) and then use it for a week, until I get my real computer in the male from Slow-novo.

    Apparently, the only store that doesn't have a restocking fee is WalMart? (Circuit City, Best Buy, Radio Shack all have a restocking fee)

    Anyone have any other ideas?

    You can live without a computer for a week... Just use the library computers, and go out with your friends instead.

    I used to work at 1 hour photo at Walmart before I left for football preseason. The laptop choices are...well..limiting BUT as I used to tell all my customers.. Walmart has the best Return policy's in the business :)

    Go grab one and use it for the week then just bring it back. Simple.

    This reminds me of the episode of king of queens where the wife buys clothes wears them awhile then returns them.

    Ditto.

    There's a reason why Costco's return policy is only 3 months now instead of 6 months for computers...
