Alternatives to Frys?

Besides the "security" issues with the place, I am very dissapointed at the customer service or lack the of. I went there and purchased a LinkSys router(for my @home connection, I want to use my linux firewall as a test system). I should not have purchased that particular one considering that it had one of those returned, but checked and guranteed to work stickers on it, but I did. When I wored with it that night I found out that it was defective and a rep at LinkSys agreed so I went beck to Frys. While seeing if the "Customer Service" Manager to see if I could get a $10 dollar discount or store credit(considering prices of gas this seemed fair) off the exchange for a working router being that the sticker stated that they checked the product, I was basiclly told by her that they stick the stick on all returned items and put them back out. After knowing this I would prefer to find an alternative place to do my business and personal computer shopping. I wouldnt even mind an online shop if they had detailed product descriptions and good prices.

Thanks,
John Albee


PS: the Frys rep. also insinuated that I broke the previously returned router.
