RadioShack

Went here to upgrade my phone to an iPhone 6s through the sprint branch they have and the whole process went great! I was helped by Lisa, and the whole process with getting the phone with her went very quick and easy. Any questions I had about the phone, insurance, payment plan, etc she would kindly answer all of them. They also renovated the place, which looks awesome! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who’s trying to get a phone with sprint! Great customer service and a great environment! :) Just wish they have better parking.

They had the battery that 4 other places didn’t. Radio Shack always has that odd item nobody else has.
Staff was very helpful and polite. Didn’t try to get me to buy crap I didn’t want to buy. He even lent me a jeweler’s screwdriver so I didn’t have to walk out to the car.

Radio Shack, as a business, is a dying entity.
Having worked at several Radio Shacks as a teenager, I can say that this one is particularly well run, so I will give it the maximum number of stars that I would give any Radio Shack.
For patrons to this business, I would attempt, as much as possible, to be sympathetic to the employees. They are essentially marching to their deaths so to speak.

Fuck this radio shack the manager don’t help at all I don’t know why fuck he can be a manager he can’t mange anything I bought the go phone card and after I can’t activated I don’t even can return it they said after u saw the pin they can’t return it hey please the receipt said I have 14 days to return and the guy just negative I’m customer man that not fucking good don’t ever come to this store buyin phone card they charge $ 10 for the sim actually at AT&T store for free fucking suck service never ever come to this store By the way

I was there at 10:38 am!!! and the lights were on but no one was there. The door was locked. Two other customers were waiting. Ridiculous. They should put a sign saying «No one is here to help you».

Horrible service (over the phone), way overpriced (in store), don’t have anything I call for and pretend to be smarter than you.

Went to purchase a pre paid cell phone for father in law. I asked the manager if it can be returned if he didn’t want it. She said yes, no problem. Welllll, went to return it, unopened, unused, etc. She said oh but you only get the cost of the phone (like $ 10.00?) and not the $ 29.99 for the set up and minutes. WHAT??? Seriously? I even asked you if it can be returned and you said yes! And Uh, duh, it would have been common sense to let me in on the fact I will lose $ 30.00 in doing so? She stated that it was policy and there was nothing she can do about it. And of course I was powerless and out $ 30!
So glad radio shack is on the next 10 list for businesses that will disappear in 2012. Don’t shop there.
Crossroads Radio Shack

I went into this Radio Shack today to buy a SD Card. The first lady was helpful showing me where I could find them and also gave me prices.
When it was time to checkout, the same lady asked if I wanted to buy a warranty. I said «no thanks» (since it’s just an SD card). The second lady piped up and said «it’s store policy that they CAN NOT sell SD cards without the customer purchasing the warranty». I looked at her confused and said «so you wont sell it unless I buy the warranty?» then she said «that’s right».
So I decided to walk away and not purchase the SD card + warranty. I wasn’t in the mood to argue with the salesperson, and as she stated «THE STORE POLICY». I wonder if this is a real store policy or just her game to sell the useless warranties. It sounds a bit illegal to force a consumer to buy something they don’t want.
If this is store policy Radio Shack will have a class action law suit on their hands very soon.
I ended up driving down the street to Best Buy to purchase the SD card and they didnt ask or force me to buy a warranty.
I live just a few blocks from this Radio Shack and I won’t be back, so they lost a customer.

I found some nice single AA battery holders and got advice about where to go for a component I was missing. The guy that helped me was nice and tried his best to find what I was looking for! that’s where I found about Vetco electronics! So for those of you who can’t find those electrical components you need here, try Vetco!

My visits to Radioshack generally commence with me handing a dead battery or other miscellaneous weird electronic bit to the first sales associate who makes the mistake of asking me if I need help. Then I lounge by the front counter and watch as he or she scurries around looking. I love it when my shopping is done for me, and thus far the staff has always come through with the right thing.
Their parking lot is a bit bizarre but that’s not their fault.

I probably have the worst luck with phones/​chargers then anyone i know.
After losing my cellphone, only a month after i’ve had it, at a concert in seattle, my friend, after a month, told me he had a phone he’d give to me. Super excited, i get the phone, after another month of trying to pick it up from him, only to see that he doesnt have a charger for it! GREAT! So, i find a charger for it online only for 7 dollars and order it… JUST to get it 3 weeks later, and guess what. its the WRONG charger i ordered!!!
Finally, after «trying» to safe money, i say f*ck it, i’m going to go buy one… I go to cingular, and they dont have that charger anymore, so i take a trip and go to radioshack… I walk in, started to look at the chargers when a nice young man came up to me and asked me if i needed his assistance. I gave him my phone, he took it to his computer, and starts typing away. After a while of him typing, looking, walking around, i was pretty convinced that they didnt have the charger and i was going to be SOL. Increasingly getting more and more bummed and dissappointed, I was about to tell him I’d just go back to the internet when he said FOUND IT!!! Stoked at this point he starts ringing me up for a charger and universal «head». I realized i didnt have my debit card and asked if they accepted checks and he said «no»… i told him i’d have to come back but he stopped me and said he could ring it up…
He was very helpful, and with all the trouble i had went through with this whole phone situation, he through in the «head» for free!!! thank the lord!!!
so… yes… Yay! I’m a fan.

Traumatic in my youth when my dad would take us to Radio Shack so he could get some component or another, it’s not much better these days. They still have the same range of stuff and the salespeople are still too pushy.
This store is hard to get into and out of, despite the stoplight there. It’s sort of one-​way around the shopping center and a lot of times you have to wait a few minutes before you get the light.
Why would you go to Radio Shack when Fry’s has better prices and is a family-​owned business?
