RX8 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 For those following Fry's for deals, the RF82ii was a weekly deal beginning Saturday March 5th. Price is $229 each but ad says in-store only. Today is the last day of the $229 promo and as of right now they are showing in checkout with free shipping as an option. Things learned today - If you really want something in the Frys ad but it says in-store only it is worth your while to keep checking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racebum Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 try actually checking out and paying. it will stall and kick back at the last step. deal is good in store if you can find them in your area but i have yet to meet someone who has actually got a pair to ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skillz4lif Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I think a lot of people will want to know if you get them or not. I've been following the Fry's deals and haven't found anything that I want available for shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Only once in my life have I gotten a call from the credit card company saying they detect fraud, and it happened after I made several failed attempts to order things on Fry's website. I can't be sure it was them, but it seemed clear to me it was. I mentioned in a thread long ago I felt Fry's was a scam, and a few took some offense at it. I don't mean they are a total sham company, but they seem to play this game of specials that are very, very hard to get all the time. Website doesn't work, no stock, I call them they say they are having problems, etc. It just doesn't come across to me as a professionally run site. With that said, it seems anybody who goes into the stores has a good experience and gets what they want. In the end, I would have to imagine that is their main goal with these deals, and why they are constantly making it seemingly impossible to get deals on the web. Just my 2c, not trying to discourage anyone but share my limited experience. The good thing was instead of buying another R-10SW, it led me down the road of getting and RSW-15, and from there even bigger and more badass than that, so hey, I sort of like Fry's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I picked up an RSW-12 last year for $187 plus free shipping from Fry's online so I know sometimes the deals work. Outside of that I have made dozens of purchases from them without issue. Twice I had the payment refunded since the cables I bought on sale were still on back order after 90 days of waiting. Overall I have had good luck. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I agree, if your card has been charged I would wait it out. Harder for them to cancel an order than ship out their mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doordoc35 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yes,Thats what i figured,ill let you guys no if anything changes .thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX8 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 When I got my RB 61's they didn't ship until a few days after the order so I agree wait it out. I'm not sure but they may ship out from a store that has them in stock instead of a warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
