My DH just had a terrible experience with RADIO SHACK.
He bought a digital scanning radio at our local Radio Shack. He's read things online about them reselling returned goods, so he asked the clerk, "Has this one been returned or is it new stock?" She assured him that it was not a return. He gets it home and opens it and there were signs that it was a return. The packaging was not original and when he turned it on it already had frequencies programmed in. Also, the screen was scratched!
He got right back in the car and took it back. The woman he dealt with didn't handle the even exchange for another one so he told this clerk that he wanted one that was not a return. When he got home and opened that one, he found that it did not have the correct power supply. Instead of the Radio Shack power supply, there was a Uniden one. Now how the heck does that happen? Must have been returned. The store was closed by then so he went back the next morning and returned the unit for a refund.
Next he went to the next closest Radio Shack and bought the same item. This time it was new, everything included, correct packaging and he's happy as a clam with his new toy.
WHY do you have to go through crap like this just to try and get what you want?
Every time you go into a Radio Shack there's another new manager and another sketchy pitch for cell phones and satellite TV. My son has a joke about our Radio Shack.
"You've got questions? We've got cell phones!"
