Absolutely horrible customer service... I've ordered from Frys.com before without problems, but this most recent order is the worst online shopping experience I've ever had. First, they lock my order until I call in and verify. Well, okay, did that, they assured me it would be shipped that day. The next day, I called because it had not been shipped, and was told that the order had been locked. The CSR said he'd unlock it, and it would ship that day. Needless to say, it didn't. When I called, another CSR told me that I wouldn't receive it for a week, despite having paid a big chunk of change for two-day shipping (on a Tuesday). Then he told me he'd squeeze it in on that night's shipments, but didn't.
The next CSR told me that they'd reverse the shipping charges and get it out ASAP and I'd have it by Friday.
Then I was contacted by another CSR who basically said "Nope. Sorry, can't help you, wait until next week".
In the meantime, they double-billed me, and I don't have enough money left in my account to even get basic necessities like FOOD. The bank tells me that I have to call Frys.com and get them to remove the authorization, Frys.com tells me I have to wait for the authorization to expire (may take a week), and nobody knows WTF they are talking about.
None of these people know what they are doing, they clearly don't coordinate amongst themselves, and they clearly can't even do the simple job of shipping a preboxed purchase.
------------
Addendum : Received the product. It's mostly what I expected, with the exception that the wireless networking and USB hardware are messed up. After about 30 minutes, the wireless connection drops and Process Explorer shows that Interrupts and Deferred Procedure Calls skyrocket, pegging all four CPUS. I have the latest drivers for all hardware devices and chipsets, so this is most likely a hardware issue.
Because of the horrible ordering experience, I don't dare ask for a RMA in order to have this issue resolved. I will just have to live with borked hardware and consider it a lesson learned :(
