Frys seems to run their web site mainly to support 'in-store-pickup' orders, and even this isn't handled particularly well, as you can order something, give them your credit card, and then get an email 20 minutes later telling you they are out of stock on the item you ordered.

Still, I prefer them to Best Buy, because at least when you show up at the store to buy something on sale, you have some kind of chance that it will ACTUALLY BE THERE. In fact at least 8 out of the last 10 times I went to buy something listed in FRYS advertising flyer on sale, that item was indeed available in-store.

By way of comparison, out of the last 10 times I have tried to buy ANYTHING on "sale" at Best Buy, they were a perfect 10 for 10 on "sorry that item is out of stock, wouldn't you prefer one of our overpriced bait-and-switch alternatives?"
