Do you still have to pay shipping and handling charges during this sale?

I know that if you walk into their store, and buy something, you have to
pay shipping and handling.

you have to pay shipping if you buy something from their b&m? that's retarded. that alone should tell you that they're actually making money on shipping and using it to make up for low prices.

I did NOT know that.
Not until I drove 2 hours to their b&m and learned that I have to pay S/H and tax!
The total price was even higher than if I did it online at home.

I live 10 minutes away from them yet I have them ship coz it's cheaper than will call. You know they are making up for the low price with S&H. Bastard!

You are only half correct. If you pick up in-store, you pay for handling but not shipping. Handling is $5. It sucks, but it's probably because they were never meant to be a will-call place to begin with. I guess they want to charge for it cause they have to pay someone to do will-call (and there are plenty of buyers there at will-call). Their prices aren't the best, but they're decent enough that when I want something same-day or next-day I would buy from them and pick it up.

I have picked up at their wherehouse before, since I live like 45 minutes away. Their is always a high flow of people through there picking up parts. THe place is huge.
In their waiting area, they have computer terminals where you can look through their online catalog while you wait for your parts

If I owned a business that I wanted to operate STRICLY on the internet, I too would have a charge that made ppl mad and made them not want to do it again. It's just like a deterrant against a certain thing that the business doesn't want.

Example: I don't like reloading computers for a living, but if someone comes in and wants it done I'll gladly backup all their stupid MP(FRIGGIN')s's and all their email, documents, and pictures. Format, reload, and stick it all back. However, I charge them $150 because I don't want that particular business, U know? Not b/c I'm tryin' to be competitive w/ the kid down the street that will do it all for $50

know what I mean?

I still think that it sucXorZ that they do it too...but I think that this is Y they do it... to discourage that storefront aire that they don't want to get.

I have bought from them when I was in CA many many times and they were great, there is no shiping it is a $5.00 will call fee per order, not per item. I've had things break and was easy to exchange, great place to buy from. Talk to Maria at will call.

Hmm... I went there today... they only have Voodoo 3500 TV Tuner cards left, and hard drives that have been in the sun for hours. Pretty cheap, but didn't have a need so I didn't buy. Now I'm kicking myself cuz the Tuner would've been sweet to go with my new flat panel. The cases weren't all broken, just some. I picked up a 300Watt ATX mid-tower case for my gf that I saw at Fry's for $80. They sold it to me $30 flat. And also, they had tons of Zip Disks that no one touched. I asked how much, she said FREE. So I grabbed 10 along with my case. 10zips + $80 case for $30. Not too shabby. too bad I didn't hear about the deal earlier... I like 3 miles away :)

Ah frick, if I only checked ATHD forum earlier. Dang. Oh well, Mwave has pissed me off more than enough times...

Never ordered online though but everyone says thats good. Will call/pickup is absolutely horrible.
