RadioShack

Lame cause there were two people ahead of me, both with stupid ass phone plan questions for 20 minutes, manager finally is ready to help but then says «one real quick second and ill be right back» proceeds to help other dumb phone plan customer. Had items to purchase in hand within 60 secs of setting foot in place and it took 20mina to get rung up. Radio Shack needs to go the way of the
dodo. Amazon forever. F this place.

Beware all ye who transact business here.
They are very nice and professional when you are BUYING products. They will NOT help you with problems concerning the quality, function or use of their products after they have received you’re money.
Consider all sales final.

I cracked my phone’s screen on a boat. I took a cab here to get a temporary replacement. (I’m on a family plan so I couldn’t purchase a new phone on my line immediately.) I got a cheap Android plus a pay-​per-​day Boost Mobile plan for around $ 60. The employees are nerdy and friendly, specifically Michael. I had a new phone in thirty minutes.
If you need a super cheap phone for yourself or others, check RadioShack first. This location is larger than others and they even have VHS cassette cleaners for $ 9!

Sprint counter worst service ever. Where is the customer service. You have the computer in front of you look it up, do your job. #return

super helpful for any product you buy there. great return policy. Smart staff and great customer service.

They closed early! Really needed something and showed up at 8:30pm and the store is completely closed. Waste of time.

For a RadioShack the employees are friendlier, knowledgeable and direct than most.

Before coming at this store we stopped at Verizon across the street. They asked us to pay $ 80 for the same stuff that we bought here. Guess how much we paid here? Only $ 40.40. Great customer service. Sean answered all our questions in 5 min. Thank you.

They have the part that I needed however I had to wait outside of the store for 28 minutes. There was a sign on the door that said we will be back in 15 minutes. I don’t know how much longer other people waited however I was outside for a total of 28 minutes. If they’re our state 9 AM to 8 PM, they should be open. Maybe they need to hire more associates. Keeping the store clothes for almost half an hour with a be back in 15 minutes sign is not cool in my book. once the doors open, the associate was not too happy to help anyone nor did you care that anyone was waiting. There were six customers waiting. Three other customers came and left during the time that I waited.

The employees here are great. Shaun and the manager were both more than helpful. I bought a new Verizon phone for myself, brought it back because I didn’t like the color (lame reason) and they gladly got me another. They also helped me buy another phone for my mom and shipped it across country to her. The experience was enjoyable throughout and I will continue my mobile shopping with these guys in the future.

This place is amazing, saved over 150 off my wireless bill (take that Verizon) and I walked out with a brand new IPhone 6 for 10 dollars! The cost of my phone case?! Are you kidding me! Best place for service hands down! Shaun and Marvin deserve a raise or something, they know how to help customers who are tired of taking crap with contracts.

This is a story about being left feeling pretty terrible after a visit to this store:
Customer calls and asks price of cable
Radio shack responds, $ 30
Customer drives to store, cable is labeled $ 39.99
Customer: «what the?! Fine.»
At the counter, radio shack rings it up, $ 49.99
Customer: «oh, the label said $ 39.99»
Radio shack: «oh it did?» Retrieves label, «it’s mislabeled. This price tag is for the av adapter, yours is hdmi adapter. I rang it up and the price is $ 49.99.»
Customer: «I feel tricked. I don’t like this»
Radio shack: «I know I hate it too. I don’t know if we do it or if customers do it.»
Wondering whether she was insulting her customers, I bought the cable begrudgingly. It felt like I’d been conned. It felt worse when I got home and the box said «av adapter» on it which I remember reading on the label that was supposed to be for another product. So my gf called, I was too angry. Credit to my gf who works in customer service for not in any way behaving on the phone how I would have. The female associate who answered said she couldn’t find the tag and said the girl who helped us was with a customer. Despite that, she she deduced that the sku’s don’t match. It made us think it was the same girl! Haha! Don’t know that for sure. Regardless, the explanation was unsatisfying and the tone of the conversation left us with the feeling that the associates were just interested in getting our money and getting rid of us with as little effort or concern as possible. Adding that to the feeling of being conned totals a one star review for this store. For us it will be worthwhile to drive to another store next time.

This store (and most radio shacks) need to be shut down immediately.
I’ve lived in PB for four years and I cringe every time I need something from this hell-​hole of an establishment.
Once in a while you find yourself in a tech dilemma and need some sort of cord/​adapter. Since this is the closest «small tech» store in the pb area, naturally it makes sense to at least check it out.
My experiences are as follows:
–Among the aisles of overpriced crap (that costs them $.01 each), they manage to always be out of what you need… but there is a conveniently available premium version stocked to the brim
–As alluded to in point #1, if they do have what you need, it is 5x what it would cost to buy online from a reputable auction seller or website (patience is key)
–In the event you don’t know what you need, expect the least helpful service ever. Good luck actually getting what you actually need.
I thought I had prepared myself for my latest adventure here. I had read an article that clearly laid out the one-​and-​only part I needed to connect up my video system (complete with the related RadioShack part number). When I walk into the store, the associate listens to what I’m trying to do and immediate suggests that I’ll need an additional $ 20 converter unit.
Sure thing, buddy. I’ll take the word of a motivated salesman over an unbiased tech article written specifically for my equipment.
I respectfully decline the superfluous converter and proceed to read off the part number and unit. Seems it is not in stock, but there’s a silver version that does the same thing. In my haste I confirm with him that there is no real difference, and proceed to snag it and leave the store. Declining the obnoxious «phone deals» at the register.
Fast forward to getting home to discover it is not the same part, and I’ve paid $ 3 for a round-​trip ticket back to another location to get what I actually need.
RadioShack sucks.

I just went there to get a minor item, so I can’t speak to their cell phones or other products.
The clerks were friendly and helpful, showed me a couple of choices, and I got what I needed.
Parking and traffic are bad, but of course that’s not their fault.
Prices are too high (I could have gotten the same thing online cheaper, including postage, but I was in a hurry) but that’s Radio Shack and you’re paying for the convenience.
This is a very small store, so you won’t find a huge selection of, say, TV sets. But for cords, adapters, connectors, etc., it’s pretty good.

This place has the worst customer service. Walked in the 2 girls never said hi or went up to us they just kept gossiping about their lives. The only guy that worked there was outside smoking. Would give 0 stars if possible.

After dealing with the talentless hacks at Sprint on Garnet Ave, I tried to think of a place who might be able to help me with cell phones, and thought, «Radio Shack!».
I’m glad I did. Thank GOODNESS there was one only 4 minutes away, and I was met by Devereaux, who would totally save the day. She is AWESOME!
Upon learning that we were from out of State and really stuck because my wife’s phone wouldn’t charge and was totally dead, she offered to upgrade our phones — but that would have cost a lot of money for what should have been a manufacturer’s repair (which is a free replacement, normally, at Sprint).
Still we were ready to do some expensive phone upgrades when she proposed a great idea that would hold us over: an extended battery and charger until we could get back home and get my wife’s phone repaired.
It was nice — such a fresh breath of air — to deal with someone who was an advocate for the customer, who was knowledgeable and resourceful, and was professional and courteous. (She even recommended an amazing restaurant.)
If you go to Radio Shack and you need help, Devereaux is the person to see. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for helping us out. We are very appreciative of our sales expert, and she is an appropriate, professional face for your organization.

I think radio shack is done as a buisness due to online amazon ebay ect and basic cell phone providers. but at this pb location the employees where very knowlegable about there products. even though they tried to sell me on service plans on aux cord and headphones. but did since they where 20 dollars and covered for a year for 4 dollars (sucker i guess) but i might break them so it was worth it.
The guy must of over heard the girl and asked about my htc one phone. I explained i got it on ebay and do no not want to give away my grandfathered unlimited data plan. the girl said she ad away around it (verizon) we will see but very helpful people.

Did an exchange here and the girl at the register was cool about it and got me in and out. A dude that was down there from a del mar location helped me check out a few different headphones and was informative and cool as well.

This radio shack is three blocks away from where I live, so based on convenience I’m a fan. I usually order electronics off of
because I can read reviews from my couch and press two buttons to have it shipped to me. However, on this day I needed some headphones because I lost my really nice Bose ones (still saddened by this). I just wanted a cheap replacement to hold me over until my replacement order shipped. They had a decent selection and one of the employees approached me asking if I had questions. Wasn’t too bothered by it, and I noticed he did the same for everyone else there.
Everything was placed in a logical spot around the store and it was fairly neat. They don’t have all the top of the line gizmos here, but you can find most of your electronic needs here.

I almost got a job here at Radio Shack in Pacific Beach back in early 2011.
Ever wonder why Radio Shack is still in business? Here’s why.
Back in January 2011, I got a call to go to a orientation at Radio Shack in Pacific Beach. They were having mass interviews in a small back room. They have everyone talk about their background, their experience. They let some go on the spot, they told others to stay. I was selected to stay.
We were then told to act out a scenario with a pretend customer needing a item from Radio Shack. In my case it was a customer needing a ground telephone. My purpose as told from the Radio Shack District Manager was to sway the customer from buying a telephone, and persuade the customer to buy a mobile phone from AT&T, Sprint, T-​Mobile or Verizon ‘because that’s where our sales are at’. I inquired about the telephone to the pretend customer, and told the customers about the specifications, and the features. I ‘sold’ the customer with the ground telephone, but failed to sway the customer into purchasing a mobile phone.
Why the hell would I want to sway a customer into buying something he/​she may not want to buy? Why was this used as a aptitude for hiring?
This is the deceitful practices behind the hiring processes for Radio Shack, and I’m glad that I’m not working for this company if this is the only thing keeping this company afloat.
