Radioshack Condition Madness

[kctay]

One would think Apple would frown on this practice. My guess is; Radio Shack won't be selling the iPad3

Wow. That's a ballsy move by Radioshack. I know companies like to make profits but that's one step above. What a way to drive off customers.

If customers weren't driven off by the iPhone 4 fiasco Radio Shack had going on, then they definitely won't be driven off by this..

the iPhone 4 fiasco was much worse.. they were taking names, allegedly, and had people waiting for as much as a MONTH on the iPhone 4's.. Many people just said to hell with RadioShack..

I definitely try to buy ALL of my Apple Products from the Apple Store..

In any event, the only thing I would ever use RadioShack for is if I had some need for last minute coaxial cable or a connector of some sort.. and it would have to be REALLY last minute, because I'd probably just order it from Amazon or NewEgg for 88.4% cheaper..

they tried to RAPE me for a Optical Digital Cable for my AppleTV just last week.. I went into the store looking, and the cable they had was $19.99 for a 6ft cable... Same cable was $3.29 with free shipping on Amazon..

I guess you know where I got it, right?

That's another good thing about the iPhone and iPad... because the idiot in the store tried to tell me I wouldn't find that cable for cheaper anywhere around there (Best Buy, HH Gregg, etc.).. and I told him he's right, I probably wouldn't find it cheaper AROUND HERE.... but there's always the internet..

so I continued to browse around the store... pulled up Amazon on my iPhone, put in the exact brand cable (non Radio Shack version), and voila.. put it in my cart and had it ordered in under a minute... on my way out, I walked past the counter and showed him the order for $3.29 SHIPPED..

the idiot says... 'but you have to wait on that one!'...

REALLY!! So you're charging me $17 EXTRA dollars for 'convenience'... BITE ME JERK!

***** They are called the source now in Canada.
Over priced crap. They wanted $20 for a box of 5 Floppy discs last year!
I got them at the dollar store for $2

These seller sux, they always want you to buy the bundle that's useless. I have one on hand and i am thinking to return it to apple this week. New 16gb white.

Hahaha. I got a kick out of that one.

Would it have been possible to buy the bundle and then individually return the other items?

If they ring them up separately, what's to stop you from doing that?

I was first in line and got a 32gb, black 3g ipad2 for Vzn. Got home took it out of the box and it was a 32gb, black 3g ipad2 for AT&T. Took it back. They did not force any bundles on me although they were aggressively running through all the ipad accessories. They still had three wifi only units left at 3pm today.

If you need a $3.00 cable that Radio Shack sells for $20.00 you politely pay the $20 order the cable from Amazon or Newegg. When the cable arrives in the mail you return the cable to "The Shack". Save your receipt, pay cash. I've done it before.

I think you should report to apple as they strongly discourage this
