"My experience was almost exactly like the other review just below. I ordered two RAM chips for $60 advertised with a $40 or $50 rebate. Fry's did not ship the RAM until after the rebate period was over, making it impossible to claim the rebate. Also, it was WEEKS AND WEEKS before they shipped. I was out of the country when the package was delivered and it was past the return period when I got back. They refused to issue an RMA. Fry's feels it can ship your product whenever it wants but won't be at all flexible when that causes you problems."

"First of all, this only applies to the Fountain Valley, California Fry's. Anaheim and City of Industry seem okay.

I ordered memory online for pickup at the Fountain Valley Fry's on the 17th. I get a confirmation saying it's ready to be picked up. I get there on the 19th and the cashier tells me they only have an opened one. He brought it out to me and it wasn't just opened, but half the packaging was missing. This is just plain unacceptable. Why give me a confirmation telling me it's ready to be picked up, have me drive and waste gas and time to go pick up used memory?

I've been here numerous times and usually the extremely poor service is tolerable as I know what I want and get it on my own. This time, the level of stupidity by both staff and management was too much for me to handle."

"Ordered a set of ram from them. The total price is $50, and with $40 rebate. They sent me the ram after the rebate submission dead line past two weeks.

I had to spent time and money to return the ram. They should not do business like this. "

"Worst customer service ever!!!!!The tv I purchase from them in Nov. 05 has been in the Shop for 4 months,and this is the 3rd time it's been there. I bought the a warranty for 4 year that cost me $500 dollars, and they can even tell me when is my tv going to be ready, they keep telling me that the part is on backorder and so far they have giving me 3 diferrents due dates for the backorder, I wrote a e-mail to the corporate office and they said they where going to contact me within 48 hours and nothing when i call they get upset and transfer my call to a person that is always in a meeting or having lunch. When finally i talk to someone they said that if i bring my credit card they can loan me a new tv. What kind of service is that?"

"I placed my order online, and chose the "second day" shipping option. Three days AFTER my order was processed I rec'd an email from Fry's stating that "second day" shipping wasn't available to my address. When I requested a refund of the shipping charges they politely informed me that they could not do that. I feel that if a company offers you a service and you pay them in good faith that they should either deliver on their word or they should refund your money. Fry's did neither for me."

"I purchased two Wasp Point of sale systems. The first one had no software, the second one had fake or used software that could not be registered. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - I CONTACTED THEM 30+ TIMES AND THEY DID NOTHING.

Do not buy from Fry Electronics"

" First time shopping w/Fry's will be the last. April 15, I ordered a Samsung LCD online. I checked w/the store and was told they did not have it, but a location in Webster, Tx did. Jason, the "supervisor" would order one. It would be in in 3 days. I called in 3 days was told Jason was on vacation, the Webster store did not have any in stock and that it was against store policy to ship discontinued items. The TV was not discontinued from Fry's when I ordered it. The sales associate informs me this TV has been discontinued for months. Even though Fry's still offered it in April of 09.
I was then told by Greg, a "supervisor", that an email had actually been sent to Arlington. That store had the TVs in stock. It would take 11 days. The Arlington facility only sends a truck once a week. Today, April 29 was the 11th day. I called and spoke to Greg again. The TV is not coming and they had no way of knowing that beforehand. Apparently, the Arlington store continued selling the TVs until the minute before the truck left for Houston and now they are sold out. What a coincidence!
In the end, I realize the mantra for Fry's is... it's discontinued. There is no communication between stores. I had called a couple of times to see if the email had been sent, if there was any reply, if the tv was in fact coming. I was told it should be here on Thursday.
So, what I am left with is... the Arlington store has none, the Southwest Houston store has none and won't be getting any. Why? You guessed it.. it's discontinued.
At one point, I can hear a sales associate and Greg arguing over the phone because neither one wants to talk to me. I was never rude, confrontational or even angry. I was just frustrated and tried to explain that I was just trying to figure out how the system broke down.
Basically, they couldn't have cared less, had no option to rectify this situation and couldn't wait to wash their hands of a customer who was spending thousands of dollars. I now understand all the frustration in dealing with a company that doesn't care about customer service. From now on... I"m shopping at BH. Even if the cost is more, I don't trust Fry's at all. I am an avid consumer as are many of my friends, I'm sending out the warning now. Don't fall for it.. like I did. You'll end up with a headache, being treated like a leper and little else"
