RadioShack

One star is to many for radioshack. I bought a cell phone there. They offered me a $ 50.00 rebate card. Went online to activate the card and there was no way it would except my reward code. No one would help me activate the card. I had to send a email to get help. By the time I got a return email the offer expired. They make it in possibly to redeem the rebate so they don’t have to give it to you. I will never buy another thing at radioshack.

Amongst the worst customer service that I have ever experienced. The woman who ‘helped’ me was nothing but arrogant, rude and very uninformative. I would highly recommend you go somewhere else for cell phone service questions/​needs.

Radio Shack serves a purpose. Back in the day this was where you found the components you needed to build your own radio or other electronic devices. Now, it is the electronics convenience store for your community. It has all those small parts you need because you lost the original, or need a spare. Problem is that it tends to be expensive. Seems whenever I need a cable or jack it costs $ 20.
Still, sometimes there is no alternative but to bite the bullet and buy what you need there. The staff is knowledgeable about most things. If you need the definition of a nerd, just visit your local shop and meet the guys behind the counter. These are the men who will save the Universe.
I was here accompanying my father in law as he returned a radio that did not work properly. The manager gamely tried to offer him another, but the old man really didn’t want to try it again after granny couldn’t get it to work after unwrapping the gift paper. His lack of confidence was appropriate, and the manager gave him the credit with a smile.
Imagine if Radio Shack and Shake Shack merged, and you could get a great burger and shake with your transistors and batteries… Now, that would be a marketing concept with legs.
