The product, in the report: Prelit Christmas tree
Bought a prelit Xmas tree last year. Stored it in a great location, inside a padded storage bag, in a temperature controlled environment. It was used for maybe 60 days. Half the lights don't work now. I replaced the fuzes, and bulbs with extras included. Unfortunately, I needed more bulbs. Garden Ridge, does not carry replacements, they told me " buy a light string at home depot, take the bulbs out of the garden ridge base, tAke new bulbs off depot lights, assemble the new bulb, and replace in tree. I did this for 5 hours today, guess what doesn't work. Topper, the store will not give me a contact number for the manufacturer. This tree cost 200+ a year ago, should last more than one season. Last tree I had, bought at big lots lasted 10 years, and when bulbs burned out, they had them on hand. what is wrong with garden ridge? How do they stay in business?
I was repeatedly shocked trying to reassemble the bulbs as per Garden Ridge store recommendation. This seems really unsafe. In fact a niebor told me if I don’t reassemble the bulbs right I can burn my house down.
