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.
