Great place to shop Bought a PC desktop tower and was pleasantly surprised to find a very knowledgeable salesperson. He was able to tell us the difference between different fans sizes and cooling systems (air or water), what to look out for and where to find accessories online. I have had some less-than-stellar experiences in the past but this one was very good.

All Electronics Fry's has a very good selection of electronic goods. The prices are competitive. Make sure to check out their specials. They often advertise in the Mercury news. PROS: Good special buys CONS: Parking

Great place for parts and finished goods Fry's is one of those places that's 5 stars if you know what you want and 2/3 stars if you need help. Fry's value lies in its large selection of electronics and component parts. Normal street prices are nothing special if you're just walking off the street to check them out. Where they excel is on their frequent sales, and in this case pricing can be excellent. Their returns policy has been more liberal from their early days. I've not had any issues with returning anything in the last... read more

Great Prices and Deals This place has great deals and offers for electronic things. I go here to buy my computer stuff and the service has always been good and friendly to me. Workers there are dressed appropriately, there are a lot of lines to keep it moving, the items are very easily located and I've never had a problem once ever returning something I wasn't satisfied with. They have offers every week on the papers and the also have a repair shop inside just in case your computer goes haywire on you. PROS: easily located i... read more

Good buys, iffy service If you know what you want or see a good deal in the paper, Fry's works. I wouldn't buy something expensive or complicated from them because I never feel that I can trust them. (I prefer to buy PCs online.) But where else can you get spare RAM, a can of pop and a set of ball bearings under one roof? It is a classic...One thing in their favor is their liberal return policy.

Decent in a pinch If you are searching for help - don't go to Frys. What a bunch of nimrods. If you know exactly what you want but it's going to cost over $100, probably worth searching online. But if you know exactly the $2 item you need, you can't find a better store. Shall I tell you about the time I bought a hard drive there and found a different (and broken) drive in the resealed box? The upshot? I was essentially told I could not return the drive since it was different. See? I must have done it. A call to the manager a... read more

Western Theme This Fry's Electronics is one of the original ones and has a cool western theme. It has changed a lot over the years from being an electronic parts store in the past, that was mainly frequented by computer geeks, to now mainly selling home appliances, consumer electronics, computers, and music, movies and video games. I always go here to look for CD' s because they have wide selection and seldom run out of stock on titles that are very popular, because they keep such a large stock on hand. They have some good d... read more

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Fry's is one of those stores in the Bay Area that you can not live without - but wish you could. It has a wide variety of EVERYTHING electronic. Multiple vendors, wide range of prices to suite the variety. Unfortunately, it often seems that I know the store layout and the exact location of where something is located before a sales assistant can figure out who or where they are.... Customer service is very poor. Command of the english language is also lacking which adds to the confusion and the ... read more

had to pay them to return the faulty battery Be very careful while buying anything at this store. I had to pay them $25 transaction fee in order to return a faulty laptop batter which could hold charge for only 5 minutes. On top of that they only gave me the rest of the money as store credit (though I don't feel like every going back to a Fry's store). They even suggested me that I should have brought my laptop to the store so that I could test the battery before buying it. Not a bad business model where you can make $25 for... read more
