Bottom line... the best way to go is still to go to your local Mom & Pop or local GC or Sam Ash, make nice with somebody there and get the best deal you can.... The economy will thank you, the Mom & Pop's need your business, and whatever your feelings are about the big boys like GC, the people working there are still your neighbors and need to make a living too... plus you cant beat the ease of return & exchange with big box places.
Again sorry to hear about your trouble and hope everything turns out ok... thanks on behalf of all for the heads up!!
