Sony Trucks Literally Turn Around to Stop Circuit City Shipments

7:00AM November 1, 2008 | Gizmodo US Edition

Circuit City took a major blow today, according to a reliable inside source, when Sony’s merchandise that was being delivered to nationwide Circuit City distribution centres was stopped in transit and ordered to return to Sony “among worries that Circuit City couldn’t pay for the shipments.” This development means that Circuit City is not getting any Sony products replenished until they are able to convince Sony that their credit line is reliable. And with things looking as bad as they are for Circuit City at the moment, that day may never come.

    That really blows. This is the begenning of the end for Circuit City. I’ve been working with the company for about 4 months, the pay is great, and the work atmosphere is incredible. I’m pretty sure that other companies will follow in Sony’s footsteps.

    This would be a major blow, if it were true. Sony trucks were in fact on there way to a north east distribution center. The center is currently crippled by a sink hole and cannot load or unload merchandise so the Sony trucks went back because had no reason to show up. Please check your facts before you report rumors

    It’s funny that your pathetic site is still reporting fake news. What happened? Was real journalism too hard for you or do you take pride in reporting lies and poorly researched and vastly exaggerated events? Good luck with that. When you decide to try real news like the grown-ups, maybe, just maybe someone will take you seriously.

    I will be sorry to see Circuit City go. We have a Best Buy in our small town, but I end up buying from Circuit City online because they have the products I want in stock. The Best Buy store has very little in stock and must order from Tucson or a warehouse, and that doesn’t work for me.
