I have shown in multiple previous posts that a restocking fee can be charged on layaway items that are never in possession by the customer. This is common practise so I dont know why you are arguing that one.
I will now give some examples of several products which were offered by retailers under a layaway scheme but which were not yet finished or released.
Apple Iphone 5 (probably 2, 3, 3s, 4, 4s as well)
Samsung Galaxy S4
Playstation 4
Xbox 1
All of these were offered for sale via layaway long before they were ever finished or released. If Wallmart can do it with products that they have zero control over, then other companies can do it for the products that they actually produce.
I dont know what else I can do to show that GTM have every right to run a layaway program and charge a restocking fee on this product.
Once again, I'm not trying to defend them in any way. I wouldn't charge a fee after all the delays if I was them but the fact is that they have done nothing wrong. If you are angry at GTM for the neverending delays and poor communication, then fine, be angry (I am) but can people just stop making things up to try and make them look bad. Or at least go and make a new thread to do it in.
There are about 5-6 people here who should go and start a 'GTM sucks big hairy goats balls' thread and then they can have a wonderful time together. I for one would probably check it daily just for a laugh.
