Circuit City Still Alive?
I was surprised to find a CC advertisement email today. I figured it might be a spoof email, but I checked out www.circuitcity.com. The website is still running, and looks available to take online orders. They show recent blu-rays like Taken.
I still have a CC gift card so is the company still alive online? |
Re: Circuit City Still Alive?
A completely different company bought the name and reopened it as a website-only operation.

Re: Circuit City Still Alive?

Its really TigerDirect or whatever company owns that. They also bought the Compusa website.
I bought a Notebook computer from Circuitcity.com back on the Memorial day weekend. It was to be delivered on 5/29 and then 6/1 by UPS but it never showed up. When I called UPS they said I should call Tigerdirect and have them trace it even though it was Circuitcity. They finally sent me another and I received it on 6/15. UPS did call me about 6/25 to ask if I ever received it. I was like why dont you check your tracking and that should answer your question. Today in my paper said two UPS employees were arrested for selling stolen firearms at a UPS facility from thier cars in the UPS parking lot....... |
Re: Circuit City Still Alive?
I was wondering about that too because I kept seeing CC ads online.

Re: Circuit City Still Alive?
There's a trend - buy up the name of a shuttered retail chain, and try to fake it for loyal customers on the internet (I guess there were some loyal customers for CC, tho you couldn't tell from this forum.)
I think there's also a CompUSA out there, and probably some of the clothing chains that folded have a ghostly presence on line. |
