Best Buy Stuffs Restocking Fee

Attention, stocking stuffers: Best Buy is stuffing its restocking fee. The elimination of the 15 percent fee for returned merchandise is a small victory for consumers as well as a boon to holiday shoppers who might be more willing to take chances.

Better yet, the action is retroactive back to November 17, so anything you have bought since then and return will not be subject to the restocking fee.

There is, however, a small catch: Special orders will still be subject to the restocking fee. However, it should be possible to find something on Best Buy's capacious shelves for that special electronics-obsessed someone.
