Fry's has an extremely liberal return policy and I applaud them for
that.

One of the things I have noticed is that their motherboards have a
shocking high percentage of their famed 'wsod' (return stickers) and I
have not been able to find out why that is.

I have purchased a lot of motherboards from Fry's without issue though
(including 'wsod' affixed labels) - and their return policy is quite
liberal so I think the convenience factor along with their rather
considerable inventory does make them a viable option.
