You can rarely find any staff to get any sort of assistance. Needed to get something price matched in the Computer section and I couldn't find a single employee at the podium. I waited almost 15 minutes before I left the store.

I wanted to get the open box motherboard that I was going to buy tested, but the lady in the department that I was in said that I needed to provide my own CPU to test it and was generally rude throughout the discussion. Total bull, but undeterred I went somewhere else for awhile and then went back to the same part of the store and asked another rep and they said they could. So I just presume that original lady was just lazy.

When I got the motherboard tested, there were some bent pins and they fixed them at no cost and provided everything. They weren't the fastest people, but got it done. The motherboard is still going strong today.

I used to love Fry's, However it's seriously taken a turn for the worse. I used to be able to find all kinds of Network gear here, Not so much anymore. It's become basically a scaled down Bestbuy. I've had to find other places to get network stuff lately. Thank goodness for Central Computer!

I love Frys as a chain but the customer service at this store is the worst I have experienced anywhere. Rude and run down staff with a manager no where to be found to assist the clerks. Open boxes on shelves with merchandise laying on the floor. Selection of certain items is poor and picked over.

This has to be the crappest one I have ever been to.. No help, shelves empty garbage all over on the floor, roof leaking onto things. Do yourself a favor and go the one in Fremont you won't be disappointed like I was.

A shell of what it once was in the early 2000. You can still get accessories, cables, etc at decent prices but most shelves are now sparsely filled and the checkout counters are still notoriously slow with hardly any cashiers.

Because of the pandemic, Fry's is like a ghost town.
On the bright side, you can find hand sanitizer and protective equipment which is conveniently featured.
I am assuming you can order items online for pick up at the store. There is a minimal amount of merchandise in the store.

Frys is the #1 place to buy all electronics/computer stuff. They have 30 day return policy on many items (Apple Store - 14 days, Best Buy 15 days), and their sales are incredible. Check Friday's SJ Mercury section for best deals.

Went in to buy a TV and the service was incredibly slow. Finally after picking the TV, the employee at the front register crudely told me to walk all the way to the other end of the warehouse to fix a paperwork "error" which he "couldn't help with." I asked if he could give the department a call first but would not even bother to respond to my request. A few moments later the salesman arrived and corrected this and I purchased the TV.

Then I requested assistance loading the TV by signing the receipt and was told by the store manager that he would help when we bring our car to the front. When we brought the car around he didn't show. Had to load it ourselves.

This is why brick and mortars are a crapshoot.

What a horrible place to shop. The sales people are rude and lie to you. The cashier was arguing with another employee and took his time ringing up my last purchase I will ever make there.

Great place to check computer accessories and to build your own custom pc.

The store is collapsing from a business standpoint. There's all these employees that stand around and do nothing. And it seems like there's always more employees than customers. They do have great prices but the store is becoming irrelevant in today's Amazon world.

The place was empty and only had 1 case for the Galaxy S9+...the latest flagship phone from Samsung. The staff were not very friendly on the floor. Seemed to be annoyed that I asked where the cases for the S9+ and when I asked if there was a method to the placement of the items, he said "Not really, you just have to look." I don't think he was joking and after a minute of looking around, I found out that he was dead serious. To top it all off, I bought the S9+ screen protector only to find out that someone had opened the box and put a S9 protector in the S9+ box. I used to frequent that particular store very often and it is a shell of what it used to be.

Amazing store for all electronics gadgets and parts. Huge store offering most of the brands available in the market. Also look out for the special offers and weekly deals. A must visit place for all the technology lovers.

It's probably going to go out of business soon. That's my impression after seeing the store.. I went there to buy a SSD, but apparently they don't sell that. But you know what they do sell? Perfume.

As a techie, I love love love this store. As I walk through the front door I can practically sense the dollars getting sucked out of my wallet. Al humor aside, this place is like Disneyland for us techies with everything you could possibly need. If you know what you want and know what you are doing, it's easy to get in, find what you need and get back out again, not to mention so reassuring that you can always stop and pick up whatever you need for your project. Communicating with their sales staff can occasionally be challenging, but with a little patience, persistence and time, you can always walk out with what you came for.

Great to browse the product categories, see laptops, screens, motherboards, etc. Ok, so even though it's huge, the selection is not as big as Newegg or Amazon. Suggest Fry's 1) put QR codes by every product category and product, so I can read Fry's take on it and decide to buy now while it is in front of me, and 2) be known for curation by category, and be more likely to buy from Fry's even when not in the store because of their differentiated curation.

First experience was horrible, but the last I gotta say was the best customer service I've had in all the Fry's I've been to. They actually smiled and thanked me. Unheard of in all my other visits to this store and the other Fry's near by.

The thing about frys stores is that you don't go there because you like the store, it's because you need something fast or you don't have an online option or you need to try something you could not otherwise. It's extremely rare for the staff to be nice and they don't price match with all places. So do it at your own risk. I also have bought items that were "new" only to find that it was an open package item with missing stuff. Returning that was super awkward.
