Fry's?

Can someone help me out finding a Fry's location? I have never heard or seen a Fry's but I hear everyone talking about it. Do they have a website where I could search for locations? I live in Cincinnati, OH but am in Cleveland, OH at school. Does anyone know if its similar to a MicroCenter Mall? Thankyyou for some help to one curious dude.

Ah, no wonder I've never seen one. That's a bit of a bummer, but I have no problem with ordering online.

Trust me you dont want to deal with Fry's, unless they have one of their special deals goin on, then dont buy anything from them. Their prices are typically 10-15% higher than other stores or Online stores. One more thing dont listen to the sales morons there, they will direct you to some seriously sh1t product, if your remotely unsure about it. They tend to know nothing at all about the products they carry and if you ask them a remotely technical question they begin to stutter and run for their manager to help. But they just have so much sh1t in there and occasionally have good deals, that I'm compelled to deal with them. Just pray you NEVER have to return anything at Fry's.

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Pettytheft on 02/28/02 08:00 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

I hear that . . . I had to. F'in idiots spent 20 mins looking over the boxes for the mobo and chip I was returning. After deciding that I was "allowed" to return, the f'in idiots forgot to tell me that I had to go back and wait in their obscenely long line to get the refund, since they do not charge back to the card at the customer service area.

I discovered this two weeks after I did the return. Fortunately, they completed the transaction over the phone with no hassle.

BTW, the combo was only on sale because the mobo had been opened and <b>RETURNED</b>. I can not stress this enough, as I believe that all of Fry's specials are actually open-box.

Best Buy does suck with returns . . . they record you, and want to restrict your no-receipt, unopened returns to one per year. If you try more, they give you the third degree.


BEST PLACE FOR RETURNS . . . <b>Costco</b>, hands-down. I have never had to return big ticket items, but with things under $100, you don't even need a f'in receipt. All they have to do is verify that they carry it. Or carried it. I returned a video 1.5 years after (never opened) because I decided I wanted it on DVD. It was not even in their computer, but could tell by the sticker it was theirs and they took it back. No Questions Asked.

One other thing . . . with small items, no-receipt returns are refunded in CA$H! These guys rule!

You know, I tried that . . . just didn't seem to work.

1) Most of the lil' shops or small computer chains around here that might carry the stuff I want to buy . . . actually don't.

2) Most of them do not answer the phone until the 14th ring (e.g., PC Club).

3) When I went looking for a HDD and PSU, I went back to the shop that I had bought my Volcano II at. The guy behind the counter tried to sell me a 40GB Maxtor @ 5400RPM for $160. I just nodded, "Oh, ok", since I can get an 80 @ 7200 on the 'Net for the same price. I asked about PSUs, he showed me their two generics. I asked him if he carried Enermax or Antec, and he blew me off! He just walked away.

Believe me, if I could find a local shop here in So Cal that has well-mannered, informed people and decent prices, I would definitely go there before ordering online.

If anybody knows about any small shops here on the East side of L.A. (or West side, for that matter) that makes you feel like you are in those Office Depot Olympic commercials, please let me know.

I have nothing to recommend in Southern CA. I just buy online at newegg now or at costco.

I've recommended costco on here a bunch of times. You can return anything anytime. Open software or a 3 year old computer. They make 70% of their profit just off of membership so the merchandise on the floor isn't that big a deal. It accounts for basically nothing.

Like I said, these guys rock. The latest deal I saw was a 128 CF card for $49 w/coupon . . . and they had a gripload in stock.

Plus they can tell you exactly what every other store has based on start-of-day . . . they told me that the closest store stocking Jet Li's "Once Upon A Time In China" DVD 3-pack was . . . Texas!

Guess I am going to web-order that one.

Hmmm . . . didn't know they were big Jet Li fans out there in Texas . . . oh, well . . .

If my baby don't love me, I know, I know, her sister will.

they have some good deals on oem stuff sometimes, best deals on cdr, and they have a huge selection of electronic parts. they got one hole section for caps, and another entire section just for pot meters! radio shack cant come close. not to mention the little ods and ends like port pins, plug casings, all kinds of stuff i cant find anywhere.

i went to the tomshardware forums and all i got was this lousy signature.
