Basically, Fry's the poster child of generally bad customer service. Bad, bad, bad. You have to know what you are doing/getting when you go in there.

Also, they are notorious for taking returned items and putting them back on the shelves without testing them - even for items that were returned because they didn't work. Hence, the term "White Label of Death" is commonplace amongst seasoned Fry's shoppers. If you are purchasing a product there (say for example, a wireless router), make sure that it does not have a small (maybe 1" x 2-1/2") white label on it saying that the item is a return item but has been thoroughly inspected by Fry's, blah, blah, blah. It might be okay, but it also might be a lemon.

Otherwise, I find them to be a good source for computer components (HDs, memory, etc.) and other items, especially if you keep an eye on their ads. I generally wouldn't send a novice in there though.
