For getting a "good deal" i got a lemon
I bought a laptop at Frys about 6 months ago or less, hardrive went bad? they told me it was not the original that it was swaped before since it was an open box item. For getting a "good deal" i got a lemon! After waiting for more than a month I keep calling frys and they dont know why toshiba hasn't fix it?? I called about 5 times already different people tell me different stories... last time i buy a computer from there, and i dont recommend it even if it's a great deal. NOT WORTH IT!!

They did not honor the rebates and extended warranties
I bought a lap top and I was told in the counter that if get the fry's credit card I will not have to pay interest for 12 months, then I got the card, when I received the first statement it did not say anything about that promotion, so I call them (first electronic bank ) and they say that they did not know about this promotion... the interest is over 22% so I pay in full. in the past I have experience that sometimes they did not honor the rebates and extended warranties.

Defective/returned Products
I've always really enjoyed shopping at Fry's. The stores have an amazing selection of neat gadgets and electronics.

However, I am absolutely fed up with the cheap crap they sell. Without fail, 50% of the items I purchase at Fry's have to be returned because they're defective or don't work properly. I know that EVERY trip I make to Fry's will result in a second or third trip to return an item or two for replacement.

It's bad enough to have to return items but today I was forced to purchase computer memory that had already BEEN returned once! While at the checkout, the sales associate informed me that their entire stock of this particular memory was "Open Item." I had no choice but to play Russian Roulette and purchase the already opened memory.

I also purchased a Artigo A2000 Barebone Storage PC system today. Both boxes on the shelf had been opened. Apparently I haven't learned NOT to purchase open items from Fry's because this item too doesn't work and has to be returned. So, like always, 50% of the items I purchased today have to be returned.

May I just say, I've never had this problem with BestBuy.

I have never encountered a worse customer service than Fry's
OMG. I have never encountered a worse customer service than Fry's. They are so rude and just would not give in. They have a faulty product and they would not admit it. They tried to trick you into believing it's your fault the product's not working.

If you wouldn't budge, they tried and tried to talk you out of returning it, because according to them, they are the "expert", and there are always customers who "don't know what to do with their electronics" and "set it up the wrong way!"

Then they would try to talk you into accepting store credit. They must've mentioned "store credit" for 30 times!

And if you return your product in another fry's that happens to have another tax rate, the tax rate at the place of return would apply. And in my case, they are eating me A LOT of money. It is Sales tax, if they are a franchise store, they should return you the whole amount with the original sales tax. It is just so Effed Up! In the end, they still charged me five bucks without explaining anything. I had to find out from my receipt!

So Effing Wrong. For a store this size, you should really reconsider your so-called "store policies" and train your people manners. They seem to really need them.

Bought bunk item
Today I was looking through Fry's ad and saw the 880gb Seagate free agent go hard drive on sell for $120. I decided to go get it at the Brokaw location. It was the last one on the shelf with no return sticker on it. I thought I was in luck until I got home.

Plugging it in and it did not power up. I tried it on my laptop first then my mediacenter to no avail. Knowing it was the last one on the shelf, I decided to go to the Hamilton store to get an even exchange. The return rep tells me to get one off the shelf and come back. I return only to find that they ripped it open, and found surprise... Nothing but old flat batteries. WTF... They tell me they can't do anything about it and that I should go back to the original store I bought it from. Fine, angry as I was, I really didn't want to be stuck with $120 batteries.

Back at the Brokaw store and I explain everything to the lady, she brings her manager to talk to me and basically its the same crap. He looks at me and says we cannot return this item because its just batteries. We argue for a long long time, and he just says "how can you return something like this, it's not a hard drive?" to which I reply,
"how can you sell something like that."

I'm at my wits end, I called my CC company to try to dispute but they say the charge hasn't gone through yet. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I'm so p* off right now and will be calling the store manager tomorrow and possibly try to get a corporate contact.

You'll end up with a headache, being treated like a leper and little else
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.
PISSED OF CUSTOMER February 1, 2010
Rude Customer Service
I was standing in line to buy a product that was limited one per customer (for resale). The sales lady looked extremely disappointed when my family and I arrived at the counter.It was like she didn't want to be there. We had four DVD SPINDLES and was told that she would have to make four separate transactions (since it was one per customer and there was four of us). Once my brother paid for the first item she began to ring up the other item. when it was time to pay for the second item she said that i had to pay (but i said that my brother will pay for me - we where paying in cash for all transactions). She said that was not possible only someone other than my brother can pay (since he already bought the first item). At this point i was like "are you kidding me?" She was extremely dumb and didn't have the mental capacity to understand what i was saying (who cares who pays for it? it was in cash.) After she talked to the Supervisor she said "never mind' and continued to ring up all the items and we left.
When we reached outside we came back and tried to buy another four DVD SPINDLES. (At this time the sales lady was at another place.) As soon as I arrived at the counter (this time by myself to buy just one item) she imedietly call the Sales women I was with and said "don't give him another of the item cause he already bought one". I was like "so what?, I'm a customer' and this sales lady was complaining to the supervisor. So i was told i can't take anymore just one a day (even though i was told earlier by the manager that you take more that one item a day as long as I keep getting back in line with the one item) {so for example if i wanted to buy three items then i have to wait in line with the one item, ring it up and go get the next item and repeat the process} But what i can't understand is why a Sales Lady was so interested in making me look like i was stealing fro them? I am paying for the item.

My advice is to stay away from fry's electronics and Vanee Albert (sales lady). She needs to check her attitude or could use a different job - perhaps some where in the back where there isn't much human contact.

Motherboard --- Customer service
If you ever bought a motherboard from Fry's, wish you best of luck. After you installed the CPU and found the motherboard is not working, you're be in horrible shape, they won't exchange or refund you, because once you installed the CPU in the slot, there is some markings there, then they said the board is damage by you and void the warranty. I got this %#%%$# experience and have to throw away a &%@#$@ brand new damage board.

Possible help for wronged customers
Friends:

Hello. I have had a similar experience with Fry's, and I may be able to help you.

Write a letter to John Fry, 600 East Brokaw Road, San Jose, CA 95112. Explain your situation step-by-step and "respectfully request" a refund. Use that phrase (NOT IN QUOTES) and be very friendly, not angry. Also, point out that requiring you to pay for the repairs after you had bought an additional warranty is a "deceptive practice". They are scared to death of that phrase, so use it. Mail it by certified mail, return receipt requested. This worked for me and may work for you. Don't put off doing this; time is of the essence.

Good luck. Please add to your post and let us know the result.

Sincerely yours,
Anonymoose
