Fry's

Avoid Frys.com! This is the worst customer service experience I have ever had. Before I placed my order (Sony VAIO laptop), I called customer service to determine whether they would ship with signature required. I spent 20 minutes on hold for the first call, and then they hung up on me. I spent 6 minutes on hold the second time, and the rep told me that a signature would NOT be required for delivery. This helped me to decide where to have my laptop shipped - my home. Also, he suggested I add "UPS-Leave at front door" to my shipping address, which I did. The laptop arrived right on time-2-day UPS; however, the delivery notice stated that the VENDOR REQURES A SIGNATURE FOR DELIVERY. I called Frys to complain about the misinformation. I made 2 phone calls last night. The first person hung up on me, after I asked to speak to a supervisor when I didn't get anywhere with her. The second time, I went to an operator and asked to speak to a. Com customer service supervisor directly. This operator spoke very little English, and transferred me to a STORE IN INDIANA! After two conversations with the store (I didn't know up front that I was speaking to store personnel, and got transferred within the store), I got an e-mail address for a CS supervisor. I haven't tried it yet. I called UPS last night to try to change the delivery address, and Frys PROHIBITED THAT.

Today I picked up my laptop from UPS. It contains only 1/2 of the power supply -- not the end that actually plugs in to the electrical outlet. I called Frys again. He told me to call Sony. I told him that Frys should call Sony, as I did not pay Sony for the laptop, I paid Frys. He hunted for my order as if he had never done this before (I told him to try by phone #, since that's how they found me last night) and finally found it. He then was "gathering" other information to "help me" from somewhere with me on the line. I asked him if he needed more information from me and he said no and hung up!

These people (except for the store personnel in Fishers, IN) are THE MOST INCOMPETENT customer service personnel I have ever worked with. They sound like they are lying around in their pajamas smoking pot and IF they feel like helping you, they might. This story is not over yet.

I have NEVER written a review on a. Com experience, and I have had many. AVOID FRYS.COM.

What's on their site is never available in store, even when it says it is and store confirms it. They get you to "buy up" aka something more expensive that you didn't want and that item will rarely work for very long, if it isn't DOA entirely.

Update. Had to deal with them on an attempted warranty the other day on a different product. They put these stickers on their refurb that say "we honor full manufacturer's warranty." Well they don't. That's a laugh and a half. Call center tells you to go into the store where you're at the mercy of the store manager. No way to talk to the store manager on the phone and they don't respond to emails.

So I have a higher-end video card that still has 3 years left on a full warranty that's essentially a paperweight. Manufacture would have covered it if it had been entered into warranty but it never had... so someone took the warranty card... leaves me with this darn card and the bill to boot.

Completely worthless. Buy from anywhere else.

This is the worst online shopping experiance I have ever had. My story starts about 1 month ago. I wanted to order a new computer case and found that the one that suited my needs was only available online, and not available in one of their stores. Having a FRYS gift card from Christmas, I wanted to order it from them to save some money. I added the item to my card, proceeded to check out, and then found out that they can only use one gift card per transaction online. This was quite annoying, but as I am not too far from a frys store, I simply went to the store and combined the gift cards. On return, I went throug hthe online ordering process, put in my gift card and VISA for the remainder of the balance, and ordered my product. 5 days later, after my card was charged and gift card balance removed, they automatically canceled my order because they said that their system can not process 2 forms of payments on backordered items. This was rediculus. I fail to believe that a TECHNILOGY and ELECTRONICS store has a system that archeic. Anyways, after talking with their horrible customer service, they said that I should try and order it again when it is in stock. About 2 days later, the product is in stock again. But wait, I am still waiting for my refund from my previous order. I call them up, and they say it will take 2-5 days. I ask them if they can notify me or check my gift card balance over the phone, and they say the only way to check the gift card balance is in a store at the checkout. Once again, rediculus that I even have to do that. Anyways, I finally get my money back 5 days later, go back on their website, and find out that the product is OUT OF STOCK again. I call their horrible customer service up again and they tell me that they are getting more soon. As I can't do a backorder with 2 payment forms, I have to wait. 3 days later, I finally place my order after it is back in stock. 4 days later, my package arrives. Perfect. Finally I got everything sorted out, right? I open it up, and it's DAMAGED. Now, I place full blame on Fry's for this one, considering they did not make any attempt to protect the box from any sort of shipping handeling that may arise. I call them up to file a return request, and they tell me that I HAVE TO PAY the $40 return shipping. I spoke with their manager sho said they will need to file a UPS gamange claim if I don't want to pay. I said yes. 5 Days later, they pick up my package. 4 days later, FRY's sends me an e-mail saying they have accepted my return, and a refund was processed. Well, its now 10 days after that, no refund, and no money back on my gift card. I called them up yesterday, and they said they would have to submit a ticket to IT for this problem, and it would be another 5 days.

At the time of this review, I still do not have my money. 38 days from my first order.

Avoid these people at all costs. They are HORRIBLE and it's amazing to me that they are still in business.

I ordered a toy a few weeks before Christmas. The site said it was in stock. A day later I received an email stating that it wasn't in stock anymore. It said nothing about "backfilling." So over a month later I get an email that it shipped! I emailed back stating that I didn't want it but they said too bad I just have to return it. The return instructions instructs to call OR to email for an R/A #. I emailed but no, that's incorrect, you have to call and sit on hold for 30 minutes. I got the R/A # and the snooty guy told me I have to buy my own shipping label to send it back. When they screwed up in the first place? And now I have to waste my time and trek to a shipping store with this huge bulky toy. I have never encountered service like this. Any other website would have either cancelled the shipment or supplied the label. Ridiculous. Shame on them.

Stay away! Never buy there! After I placed the order I got an email stating that my stuff out of stock.! And I need to wait 30 days till they full fill it. But the same item was continiously selling at the website no problem! Customer servise doesnt know whats going on, they like from the other planet. So after two weeks of waiting I just cancelled my order. Now I'm worry that somebody will use my credit card as some people say. Terrible!

I drove 1 hour to get to Fry's, I got what I wanted, went to price match 2 items at the sales desk and it took over 30 minutes (there computers are super duper slow - my smart phone was way way faster than there computers). Then when I get up to the front to purchase, I show my resale certificate (that the State of Texas tells you to furnish to suppliers - the same certificate that every other company accepts) and they say they require a different certificate that says on it to display on the business wall. Why would I have that certificate if it is supposed to be on the wall of my business? No where on their website does it state what certificate you need. Hey Randy (CEO) thanks for wasting my time.

I bought a motherboard for my new Intel processor, when I took it out of the box it looked used. I still tried to use it as I did not want to return it if it worked
But upon testing i found out that the socket on the board was damaged
When I tried to return it they refused to take it back. I was out 100 bucks
I had to buy a new one and pay extra 100 dollars. This was the worst experiece, I had spent thousands of dollars in that store over the years and I will never go back again.
Their customer service is horrible.

The purchase for a washer and dryer went well; the price was not too bad. Two years later, the purchase is not looking too good. At this point, I may have to go out and buy a cheap dryer for the house because the Frys service department at this point is a "no show". I have a "Frys In-house" ticket number which tells everyone involved that I have warranty service coming, but as previously stated, the Frys service department is a "no-show." This problem is making the Sears purchase that I passed up, look pretty good right now.

All i wanted to do was upgrade the iphone 4 i had to the galaxy note 2. I was told "new device new number" in essence what ended up happening was now I am stuck with 2 lines of service on my account. I called Sprint to get this straightened out and they directed me to call back Frys. Its been nothing but a bunch of runaround. I noticed no one seems to fully know policy or there job 100% If I would have known i was going to go through all this unwanted stress I would have just gone prepaid, Also i have talked to upper management who doesnt seem to have a clue. I am now facing an early termination fee of $350 and Frys had the nerve to offer me some " free accessories" really?!?!
What ever happened to the customer always being right? Its not fair I am being punished due to a mistake Fry's made. This is way too much s*** to to through. If I were you and considering ordering a phone don't mess with Fry's unless you want a migraine.
If you have any major problems here is the corporate phone number 1-*******543

Seriously the WORST experience I have had with online shopping. I ordered a book from them on 12/19/12 I paid extra for 2nd day shipping to be sure the item would be delivered prior to Christmas. Frys proceeded to ship me the item on 12/20/12. I received the book in a timely manner HOWEVER, the book I received looked like it had been drug on the floor on both the front and back and was permanently curled up like a newspaper would be to smack a spider. Needless to say I was not happy that someone actually put this sad looking book in a package to ship to me. I called their customer service number and was placed on hold several times and went back and forth with them until they finally agreed to refund the item and the shipping(approximately 2 hrs and only after threatening to dispute the charges with my card company). On 12/28/12 I called them again because they had not sent me confirmation of the return or a return label. On this call I was told that there was going to be no refund of the shipping as previously agreed. Once again it was a very long phone call approximately an hour in which they refused until finally agreeing to give me the full refund after telling them that I had the previous call recorded in which they had agreed to give a full refund. They then told me that a shipping label would be send to my email later that day. Of course this did not happen. I made a call to them on 12/29/12 they took about another hour on the phone to finally come up with that it would be sent after the weekend. On this phone call they also informed me that I would not be able to get my money back unless it was postmarked by 15 days after my initial call(total BS seeing as they took their sweet time getting me the things I needed to make a return). Luckily I got the shipping label on 12/31/12 sent the item back on 1/2/13 they received it on 1/4/13, once again without any confirmation from Fry's I called them on 1/6/13 they could not give me any information at that time other than "It should be processed soon". Thankfully on 1/8/13 they sent an email saying I would be refunded the money and FINALLY on 1/10/13 it was credited back to my account. My point is they KNOWINGLY sent me a bad product and then lied to me and told me that I would be refunded all my money, rescinded that until I said I had proof they agreed and then they tried to wait long enough before sending a return shipping label to make it impossible for me to return the item within the 15 days. All this for a BOOK, BEWARE if you buy an electronic item from them! If it doesn't work you are out of luck unless you have 5+ hours of time to spend on the phone and even then you may not be as lucky! DO NOT BUY FROM FRY'S! THEY WILL SCAM YOU!

Pre-ordered a Wii U Deluxe on Sept. 16,2012 for my autistic son. Called frys.com to confirm recent of my order and it was confirmed with a confirmation number. In addition, I received a confirmation of my order via email. Recalled frys.com on 11/10/12 to confirm my order will be shipped on 11/18/12 and again was told yes. Now on 11/20/12, am told that my order will not be fulfilled. Only the Frys stores received the product. This is the worst customer service ever. Will never buy from Frys.com again.
