Free in-store pickup at Fry's

[GGD]

I was looking to buy 4GB of ram for an Amazon MBP deal, and Frys.com had this kit from Crucial for $74.99 that looked like a good deal to me.

So I called my local Fry's to see what their in-store price was, and they said $99.99, which often happens, and they can't price-match their own on-line price. So I said that I would order it online. Shipping was going to be $4.98.

As I went through the order process, they offered "New, In-Store Pickup - Free", as a shipping choice, and I selected the very store that I had just called, and I should be getting it for $74.99 + tax, just as I had originally hoped for.

I'm not sure when they started this option, but it should come in handy for me. I'll have to ask them if I can do online-returns in-store too.

Wow, good to know.

Thanks for that info. We got a Frys last year and this could be a nice feature.

You're sure this RAM is good for a MBP C2D??
If so, I'm on it as well!

Shop from your iPhones or in-store computers while you're AT Fry's and save $!

Drat, just tried it with that same product but didn't get the option.

Do they actually 'ship' an item to the store - or pick up from the store's existing inventory?

The last time I was there, the in-store computers would not connect to the internet.

I'm pretty sure that it's this kit that Crucial sells for $110, listed as compatible.
