Exchanged

It's snowing again. I love the way streets look like on a quiet Saturday like today, when all the roads are white and cars are covered in snow. The glow from the streetlamps gives the scene a warm yellow glow.

We only had one ambition today - get the CD player exchanged to a new one. We got lunch from Akira again - sushi for me, but Dragon needed something warm so he went for beef teryaki. We then ate and watched some lucha, while packing the CD player and the speakers into a suitcase. The trip is not long, but the equipment weights just enough that it's quite unpleasant to carry, so suitcase with wheels is a great help.

So we headed to Futureshop, went to stand in the line in customer service, and even got to talk to the same lady that I had spoken yesterday. Her first question was "Did you bring all the manuals?". Erm, no. I hadn't realised they wanted everything that was in the box, including the literature - without those we couldn't make the swap. So Dragon took the suitcase and went to browse some books, and I headed back home to get the manuals. (Good thing about public transport here is that your ticket is valid for 1,5 hours - that's plenty of time to go to the city centre, run an errand and come back home.)

After meeting Dragon back at Futureshop, this time with everything that came in the box (minus the box), the actual exchange happened very quickly. I have to say I appreciate their 30 guarantee - I assumed I'd have to send the player to JVC at my own expence, and then wait for 6-8 weeks to get it repaired - but the guarantee means that the only thing we needed to do was to take the faulty equipment back to the shop, and receive a new one to replace it.

So we returned with the new one, and it's hooked up and working now. It makes me happy, I love music and find it difficult to be without it.
