[Magdalen] How do you buy a stove?

[Lynn Ronkainen]

when I had to buy a new fridge the year after I moved ('09), I shopped and 
chose a 'French door', small version, and got a real deal at Best Buy as it 
was a close out previous year's model... They delivered it and had to take a 
the top doors off to move it into my fairly restricted small kitchen. The 
drawer freezer was easily removed for the placement. After moving it into 
place they attached stuff, removed tags and left. While reloading the fridge 
I noticed they had forgotten to put on the long sleek side to side handle 
that pulls out the freezer which is a drawer. Of course I did not have the 
delivery guys number, so I called Best Buy. Can't say what actually happened 
but no handle ever was found (they probably threw it out in the box). The 
solution BB cane up with was to order another fridge (what???) possibly 
because it was a discontinued model. Two weeks later I had to go through the 
whole unloading/loading thing again, and when the customer rep called to see 
how everything went I mentioned the hassle for such a small part. They 
knocked another $100. off the fridge (which I had bought on their no 
interest 2 year credit) ! It was my lucky day.
