RadioShack

Tinara was amazing in helping me browse through the conundrum of speakers. We found the perfect fit within 10 minutes. She literally went out of her way and unpacked several speakers, tested them until I was happy. Superior service, compassion and delivery.
Get here and ask for her — she is a manager in training and on her way up!

«Closed for inventory»
That’s funny, because the hours on the door clearly indicate that Radio Shack should be open despite the locked door after 10am on a Sunday and I can see employees inside doing not much of anything. It is also worth noting that the sign only appeared after absurdly foolish customers tried to enter the store and tried to keep this failing relic afloat.
Closed for inventory would making a fitting epitaph for the tombstone of the entire operation that seems to have taken one too many entries from
into its customer service playbook. Perhaps it truly died a long time ago and now it is just a money laundering front for a Saudi Arabian sheikh?
I can’t believe I’m suggesting that someone should go to Best Buy as a better alternative but if you need something immediately (otherwise just go online,
would be a great place to start if you just need cables) and the mobile carrier stores don’t have what you need… maybe come here and roll the dice. Maybe not.

Five stars for warmth and helpfulness of staff, attention to detail and GREAT soundtrack (Smokey Robinson and all).

Small and a bit depressing. I’ve had mixed experiences with the staff. Sometimes they’re friendly, sometimes not. Selection is extraordinarily limited and generally overpriced. It’s fun to price compare online just so you know how much you’re getting overcharged. About the only thing this place has going for it is that it’s (as far as I know) the only electronics store for a mile in any direction, and when you need a new mouse, you need a new mouse. I never look forward to going here though.

Aziz Ansari questions why Radio Shack is still in business in his standup and I am inclined to agree with him. I think they just sell your email addresses to porn sites, but I digress.
I bought a new case for my iPhone here a few weeks ago. They didn’t have an awesome selection and even though the place was as empty as the pint of ice cream I bought last night, it took quite a concerted effort on my part to flag down the too-​cool-​for-​school stoner behind the cash register.
blahblahblah, a week goes by, I drop my phone a few too many times and the case shatters.
I took it back and they gave me a new one. Unfortunately it’s some Lady Gaga, bullsh*t, but beggars can’t be choosers I guess.

My husband and I stopped in here looking for an adapter. We weren’t quite sure what we needed, so some help would have been useful. When we walked in three teenage employees were standing behind the counter. Two were having a very loud conversation and one was texting. Offensive music was blaring. No one ever greeted us or asked us if we needed any help. We stood around for a couple of minutes then left the store.

The staff was incompetent and rude to me. I would recommend going to another Radioshack.

I looked up an item I needed online and saw that it was in store in Central. But when I showed up, the sales person first didn’t know what it was and then tried to convince me that they didn’t carry it!
I had to completely ignore him and search for the adapter myself — which I then found. Not useful!

I waked into this radio shack looking for a few items. One of them was a camcorder. I saw that the camcorder I was looking for was not on the display. I asked the clerk whether she had any. The clerk said no problem, we have it, just wait for the girl to come back with the keys.
The other clerk walked in through the door, talking on her cell phone. I had to WAIT for her to finish her conversation before she would hand over the keys to open the case where the camcorders were stored.
Then, I was told that the camcorder can only be exchanged if it was defective, and returns for any other reason will incur a restocking fee.
I bought the camcorder, brought it home and realized that it was used. The camcorder had video from people trying it out in the store.
This store broke the law. They CANNOT legally sell a camcorder as NEW when in fact it was used or was a display model. They have to sell it as REFURBISHED. Calls and emails to Radioshack corporate fell on deaf ears.

Came into here because it was close and i didn’t feel like making the trek all the way out to Best Buy. I needed a particular cable to attach my external hard drive to my computer, but didn’t happen to have my drive with me.
The store itself is pretty decent size, for its location on Mass Ave, and especially compared to other Radio Shacks that I’ve been in. When I walked in, wearing my headphones (I sign that I usually want to be left alone), the salesman behind the counter put down the phone and asked if he could help. I told him, nah, I’m just looking for a cable, I’ll look up there (pointing to a rack against the back wall upstairs that had a lot of cable packages).
Undaunted, he persisted (in a nice manner), «well, describe it and maybe i can help you find it.» So I did, in a not-​so-​good way, and from my description he said, ah, it’s this type of cable here, and directed me to a display rack I didn’t notice. Lo and behold, there was what I was looking for. It was even easy to open the package and check, and returning (according to the salesman) would be easy if it was the wrong kind.
So, for having what I need in a fairly well-​lit and stocked store, and especially for the salesman (Chris, the manager) who was polite, attentive but not overly so, and who found what I said I needed and didn’t try to push anything else random on me (like a phone deal, or a remote-​control car, and yes that’s happened to me before at Radioshacks), this place gets a 5-​star review.
Now, if only the drive that I bought the cable for would start working like it’s supposed to…

I’m a fan of this Radio Shack. The guy who always helps me there is very courteous, personable, and they’ve always have the weird item I’ve been seeking. And, when my hubby needed a certain type of computer cord — but wasn’t sure exactly which one — they totally hooked him up!
Their prices on small stuff tends to be a bit high, but they’ve got what I need and are actually intelligent (unlike the big box stores)

I’m an absolute nerd. And raving Radio Shack WHORE!
I love electronics and gadgets and tech. Well, shit, I like a lot. But a Radio Shack is a Radio Shack is a Radio Shack, right?
NO SIRRR-​EEE! This Mass Ave local served me up some great shit!
I just moved to this lovely city and had to find myself a good deal without getting ripped off majorly… So I found myself wandering in here one day a week ago or so and one of the managers came right up to me, friendly as ever, to help me with all my concerns. This is a given, yes, but he was just SOO helpful and kind! Cool shit! I walked out of that place today (my second visit there, only.) with a sexy lg rumor phone and great plan. Guess what?! That wicked sweet cell was free today too! Lucky eh?!! Woot wooooooot! Rock on, Radio freaking Shack!
Pretty sure this awesome manager’s name is Chris, for all of you guys looking for a new cell or plan. He’s your man! The rest of the staff working that day were super cool too. Nice as hell! Love ya guys!
Sweet, wonderful, customer lovin’ over heeeeahh! Wooot!

the staff and inventory have generally been alright, although i had an interesting experience the other day trying to buy headphones, i was there w/​my wife and just wanted to look at what they had, they had a set for 11 dollars, one of the guys asked if we needed any help, we said we were all set, then about say 20 seconds later, he moves to my left and stood literally about 4 inches from me staring at me waiting … it was just very wierd, no clue if this was his way of making sure i was being taken care of, we left, and i told my wife i wanted to check other stores, the other staff said you could try best buy but no one was going to have as good of prices as them … i really wanted to leave because the guy wierded me out … well best buy had headphones, and like he said they were one dollar more, but then later i went to CVS (which is closer to this radio shack) and saw they had headphones for 6 bucks, so i got them there!

There are nice staff in this Radioshack. The range of products here is about what you’d expect — not great but often has what you need. But I like this store as the guys who work there are very helpful and honest enough to direct you to other places if they don’t have what you’re after. They listen to good music too most times I’ve been in. Bonus!
