Did Outpost.com (i.e. Fry's) just totally drop the Outpost.com name?

Why didn't they just go with Frys.com from day one? I never understood why they went with a different online name than their B&M stores.

They weren't always affiliated with one another. Fry's bought Outpost awhile back in order to establish an online presence.

End of an era. :(

I remember when they had the free overnight shipping. My apartment had a package just about every day from them.

Ah, I do not remember those commercials at all!
I still order from outpost.com errr frys.com if they have the best prices. Love the fact they used DHL instead of UPS.
I did noticed everything is still shop4outpost in the links.
