Deceptive Advertising and Policy
Frys would advertised items which clearly states "limit 1 per customer" on certain sale items (a). Other items (b) do not have such limit in their advertising. However, if you pick up multiple items of b (same item) and check out to pay, they tell you that you are limited to 1 item at the purchase. When you show them the Ad, they state that the limit of 1 item per customer is what shows up on their computer system. When you complain of this, they then take you to where the Price tag for the item is and show you the SMALL FINE PRINT (Sarcasm here) that states "limit 1 per customer" which most people do not pay attention to when they go to grab the item to buy.

Normally, I would be upset but just let it pass by. However, this appears to be the case EVERY WEEK !!!

Some may say that it's Advertising Misprint, but practically EVERY WEEK there is an Error. Not to note that there are More than 1 Error at a time?

Either their Advertising company is Incompetent OR their Advertising Department does a Lousy Job of Editing / Proofing their Ads. OR it is Basically a variation of the "BAIT and SWITCH" Scam / False Advertising that is Illegal by Law that Frys is Actively Engaging.

NOTE: I have NEVER SEEN Any of the Large Ticket Items (TVs, Large Appliances, etc.) that did NOT have the "Limit 1 per customer" print (Except for Black Friday or Special Sales) during their weekly Friday sales ad only to have it printed on their Price Tags at the Store.

NOTE: I have also seen and been told that they will allow the purchase of more than 1 of the particular item (that did not have the limit in their advertising) if they have "sufficient" quantity on hand so as "NOT" to deprive their other Customers of purchasing the merchandise. Interestingly Enough, I Never hear them say this about any high ticket items that was NOT on a "Super Special" discounted price.

All this aside, I would have let it go, IF Fry actually apologizes for their Mistakes and show it prominently on their Price Tags advertising their Sale Item where the product is located instead of HIDING it with Small Fine Print that the majority of Customers do NOT LOOK for so as to avoid their "BAIT and SWITCH" Scam.

In Summary, Frys Business Practices are DECEPTIVE and MISLEADING.

I Will NOT Buy anything Frys again until they Apologize to All Customers for their Past DECEPTIVE Practices and PROMISE NOT to Do So Again. Mistakes Will Happen, Apologize for it and MAKE IT CLEAR that They Made a Mistake on Their Price Tags and NOT HIDE IT in SMALL PRINT in a Corner majority of people do NOT LOOK at (incorrect grammar ending in an infinitive but it sounds and flows best this way).

For all those that say, "buyers beware" and to look at all the fine print should just go away. DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING & BAIT and SWITCH Advertising are ILLEGAL by law including "Disclaimers" that are hidden in fine print whereby it is Not easily found or obvious to the buyers.

I for one believe in Truth in Advertising and do NOT want to have to Price Check the FINE PRINT on EVERYTHING that is Advertised against the Actual Price sticker at the Store. And I Believe that the Majority of Customers do NOT Want to have to do the Same.

Or is it just I that is Naive about Business and Truth in Advertising...

I Would Like it IF people would BOYCOTT Frys until they Change their DECEPTIVE Business Practices.

Poor Customer Service
I've made quite a few purchases at Frys in person without any issues but recently I made a purchase online (just over a week ago) and still haven't gotten the order, or a tracking number. I called customer service and was told that the shipment was "in route" and that if the order wasn't received on the expected delivery date to call them back...wait a minute - I don't have a tracking number so how can I possibly know what the expected delivery date is? Oh, I see, i'll get the expected delivery date once the tracking numbers are uploaded into the system? Which might be the 12th of never... To make a long story short the customer service rep was the most incompetent person i've ever dealt with and should probably be removed from the gene pool ASAP. If the order doesn't arrive on Monday i'll be calling my credit card company to stop payment since Frys can't cancel my order because it's "in route". Anyway, I won't be doing any more business with Frys after this!

Laptop Repair lost in purgatory
Insurance does not provide a loan. My LENOVO G530 has been with Fry's since 12/31/2010. Each time I called the Tech tells that the person working on my lap discovered the problem and then reads to me the same notes that were written the day I dropped off the laptop. I called to weeks later I am read the same information, but now they have to order the part. A week later they can not order the part but must return it to the manufacture. The next week it is still somewhere and a Fry's employee tells me that am eligible for a loaner. This week I called to confirm and was informed that the Fry's employee was in error. The laptop will need prayer to be released.

Didn't refund $$ for returned Item
Fry's.com - Didn't credit my credit card for an item that was returned.

Per Fry's customer service phone instructions, I refused delivery (and USPS returned) the unwanted item for a credit.

Fry's.com sent two identical items and they charged me for both. But I only ordered one. I sent several emails but the did not respond. I couldn't straighten it out on the phone either. Not only can't they the get their orders right but THEY DON'T GIVE YOU YOUR REFUND.

I disputed the $60 charge with my credit card company. Results pending.

Shady Service
I have bought lots of stuff at Frys over my years. Recently I bought some things then returned and had like 14$ left. They said they could not give cash back and put the 14$ on card.. Mind you this was returned with the 30 days I had. Well ok.. no biggie I will put towards another purchase later on. As we all know big companies collect lots of money on unspent store credit cards.. Well I use mine and did just that a few months later. I needed a new iphone car charger. Well I went to use my 14$ card that was issued last time. In the end I had 3 cents in change. The cashier said she would out that back on a new card... Ummm 3 cents??? NOw I dont care about the 3 cents, I would of left that in the penny jar for another customer.. But I was pretty shocked who chincy these guys are that they could not even give back 3 cents... And in the end they do this to thousands of people and that adds up on there end.. Well we all know you dont go to frys for customer service.. You go there is you know what you want and buy... But this add bonus of just being down right little bitches about putting 3 cents back on a card so you can what...put more money on the card to buy more things that you can never get change on...? Lame business practice.. Just go somewhere else and dont support these guys.. Its just big business squeezing out every penny they can get... boycott and spend a money at Best Buy or anyone else!!

Bad service
Bought a new 42" plasma TV.. took it home and decided it was too big for the living room and wanted a 32 or 37 " set. Had only measured the Width when I got home..carefully slit the tape and measured -- nothing taken out of the box or touched at all -- just measured across the top of the TV. The NEXT MORNING took it back to exchange---- WOW, a 15% fee because I had opened the box? (I could have lied and said it was not opened as I had re-taped the top opening). NOPE - $90.00 "restock fee" !! After some discussions with the MGR. he did reduce the fee as long as I was buying another TV --- what a hassel. While I watched the help actually took the box apart and removed all the plastic, even to the point of removing the TV from the box and standing it near the wall -- and plugging it in to ensure it worked!!! I have never in my life seen such a procution to return an item!!! It was just plain stupidity. whoever came up with FRYS return policy ought to be hung!!! The MGR. tried to tell me the "computer automatically charges the 15% fee entered as a return" YEA, like I just fell off a turnip truck and the MGR. cannot override???? I did the deal and left, BUT WILL NEVER DARKEN THEIR DOOR AGAIN AND WILL TELL ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN ABOUT THEIR TERRIBLE RETURN POLICY!!! It was sickening to watch them rip open the entire box when anyone with an IQ of 30 or above, could easily see the box had not been tampered with or opened other than some tape on top (which had been replaced). Just plain dumb.

Restock fee
Wanted to purchase desktop computer and specifically use tv as monitor.

Bought desktop computer and tv adapter card (per SALESMAN recommendations) 1 hour ago at Fry's Electronics, Phoenix, AZ. The tv adapter card is not compatible with this computer and cannot be connected to the tv without additional adapters... and only 1 usb in unit. None of this info on outside of box.

Called Fry's immediately. They advise 15% Restock fee will be charged.

I work in retail in credit/exchange capacity and agree with return policy in most instances, but incorrect salesman info should be Fry's issue.

Will not be purchasing from or recommending Fry's in future.

Defective Microwave w/o orig. box
I bought a Panasonic microwave on June 28, 2010. It is 1.2 Cu. Ft. counter top white, NN-SN667W. Price was $139.99 plus 7% sales tax; Invoice #3162467. (I spent almost $300 at Frys that day). I connected the microwave and it worked fine up to 45-50 seconds. Any longer than that amount of time, the circuit breaker would kick off. I had an electrician (Dave Townsend 765-342-5396) check out the wiring and the microwave and he moved it to another outlet. That circuit breaker kicked off, too. The microwave got very hot on the outside top and we could smell that it was too hot. It is supposed to draw 12.7 amps, but his equipment showed it was drawing 16.7 amps. I have called Frys Store #43 (317) 594-3101 at least four times today and was treated very rudely and hung up on each time. They put me on hold and did not handle my concerns. The main problem is that I do not have the original box to take the microwave back. They are telling me I will be charged a 15% restocking fee or have to make an even exchange. I do not want an exchange and should not be charged ANY fee for a defective product. I plan to return the microwave but will not pay the 15% fee for not having the box. This is harrassment on Fry's part and is no fault of my own.

Avoid going there
This is the first review I have ever written in my life. Let's just say my experience at Fry's electronics inspired me. I always thought Fry's was a good alternative to Best Buy. I liked it since they play classic rock there, on occasion I can find a descent CD, and they have a pretty good selection of DVDs. However after my experience at Fry's a couple days ago, I have vowed never to return. It all started when I went to meet a friend that was returning a computer that apparently didn't work as anticipated. I figured we would be there maybe 15-20 minutes and then catch lunch before I had to go to work. WRONG! We waited in line for almost an hour before anyone would help us. Only 2 people were in front of us being helped and one guest was being helped by multiple associates. There were a plethora of associates but apparently none that could help us. Idiot Waste of Space employee # 65 was sitting in a chair staring at us like we were freaks at a side show. Another waste of space was texting on his iphone. We didn't get any help until my friend complained about the most recent customer that was brought by an associate to cut in line ahead of us. Then we finally get an associate to inspect (very slowly) the computer we are returning. He send us to someone else. A customer asks an associate where the customer service department is so she can make a complaint. I ask if we can make one too. Then after more waiting in line we are notified there will be a 15% restocking fee. My friend explains to the associate the computer, monitor, and keyboard did not work. After going back and forth, the customer service manager comes out and says they will put it all together to show us it works. We go back again to where we were before. An associate hooks everything up together. It doesn't work. He fiddles around. We continue to wait. Then the associate takes out anotherkeyboard with a another mouse. Then it finally works and he points to the screen and says "See it works." Yeah it works with a totally differentkeyboard and mouse than it was purchased with! He offers to register it and my friend tells him there is no need because he doesnt want it. They tell him there will be a 15 % restocking fee. He tells them he will not pay because the associate assured him that the computer, monitor, andkeyboard were all compatible and never said anything about having to use an alternative keyboard and mouse. The associate and the Customer Service Manager seam very hard up for there 15% restocking fee and seam to be unworried about all what my friend has gone through. He drove 45 minutes to Fry's and 45 minutes back to spend 2 hours trying to hook up a computer the sales associate assured was compatible, then drove 45 minutes to wait in line for an hour and spend another hour bickering with rude, arrogant, and DOGMATIC employees and now he is expected to drive all the way back home with the chance that it will not work again???? Then the Manger is called out, we talk to him about 5 minutes. He trys to fight it a bit and then admits that it should have never have come to this and the original sales associate should have told him the correct information and he tells us that of course we should not have to pay a restocking fee. He says he wants to keep our business but these words ring hollow since if they really wanted our business they should never have hired such atrocious employees and created such dogmatic policies. I leave to go to work with no time for lunch since I had been there going on two hours. I vow to never come back to this aggravating nightmare ***. P.S. The Customer Service Manager should be working at a DMV with her atrocious customer service skills
