Deceptive/ Unethical Business Practices

Deceptive/ Unethical Business Practices

I have had two document recent incidents at Fry's Electonics Store #23, 10241 North Freeway I-45, Houston, TX 77037

(1) Tried to purchase a Sony XDRS3HD radio advertised on September 7, 2008. Went to store on Septemebr 8, 2008 and received a rain check. The price was advertised at $99.99 with a $50 main-in rebate. After 3 weeks, I calledand they said repalcement units had not come-in. Went by the store and was told the model was being discontinued.Talked to a manager and got no response. Actually the Sony XDRS3HD radio is still avaialble; maybe discontunued at Fry's Electronics.

(2) Purchased a Sharp UX-B20PK Fax machine on September 29, 2008 for $49.99 and received the $50 rebate form Fry's printed. I snet in the form with receipts and UPC barcode to Sahrp's . Sharp's replied back October 20, 2008that the UPC barcode was invalid. It turns out the units Fry's Eltronics is selling with the supposed rebate, are refurbished units which do not qulaify for the Sharp's rebate. Faxed documentation to Fry's Electronics but they will not respond.

These are two examples of misrepresentation and not willing to stand by thier advertised items.
