So after 2.5 years it was time for new wiper blades for my Rover.
Bought them, got home and went to install them and not only were they the wrong brand of wiper blade they were USED!!
So I had to get back in the car and drive back to Suck-Mart and exchange them, then I get half way back to the returns counter and I descided to check the new ones, sure enough, one of them was the wrong brand.
Somebody had bought new blades, then put their old ones back into the new container and then returned them.
Then the next set of new ones somebody had put the cheap blades into the expensive package and then bought the cheap ones.
Bastards.

That sucks. But you can't really blame the store for something dishonest the customer did. Of course the person at the return desk should have looked at them when they did the return from the previous customer.

No I dont blame the store, or the girl at the returns counter, I just hate Wal-Mart but it is the only place that I can get the Triple Edge wiper blades.
Lifetime warrenty on the blades, I used them for 4 years on my Montero before I had to get rid of it.
I put on a pair of those "euro" aerodynamic blades when I bought the LR, they worked great but I like these better.

I was involved in the construction of nine Walmarts a few years ago. I kind of felt like a hypocrite seeing how I won't set foot in one otherwise. But hey, better I take thier money than them taking mine,

Thats how we feel, we shop there very little, it is the cheapest place to buy Mobil 1 though.

Don't get the Autozone brand either. Mine lasted 2 weeks then the rubber started peeling away from the blade.

I haven't shopped at a Wal-Mart in 3 years and have no plans to do so in the future. The place makes me sick. Back when I did shop there though I would get used **** every once and awhile and it was so annoying. I have been guilty of "renting" from there however. Back in the day I would buy camping supplies, fish nets, etc then return them after the trip. I was a little punk and only thought about screwing Wal-Mart and not the next customer.
