There are so few left anymore but lucky to have one very close to me and the guy behind the counter most times I go in is super knowledgeable and great at helping me figure pretty much anything out. He always has recommendations and the store is so well displayed, I enjoy going there for those hard to find items quickly when I cant wait for Amazon.
My favorite part was the kid behind the counter that didn’t even acknowledge my existence, and offered no help in any way. Also told other customers that came in that he couldn’t help them. Just stared at his phone. Top notch customer service.
Store in Layton should have been open 20minutes ago, 5 customers waiting outside, no one in the building yet…..how bad is that? No wonder people are going elswhere
They had everything we needed! Its great to see RadioShack back with the electronics essentials.
They are stocked! So good to see
This place is keeping hobbyist ALIVE!! Unfortunately its hard to keep up with online hobby shop prices. Amazing amount of stem things. Keep the shack going!!!
The man there was of great help to me! He even taught me the best way to solder something.
Yes they are still available cool gadgets but expensive
TL;DR - We got what we needed (50ft of RG8X w/ UHF male connectors), but it will require a bit of extra work and some soldering in order to get it to work (We will have to solder the connectors on), we were told that the cable was in stock and did not need to solder anything when we double checked over the phone. He also gave us the wrong cable intentionally because he thought it was just as good. (RG58). Not good customer service, they have parts but make sure you triple check with them before making the drive out there to buy something.As for background of this review, Im a ham radio operator and needed a few things (mainly 50ft of RG8X cable) for a new antenna setup that im building. I called ahead to this radioshack and asked if they had 50ft of RG8X with UHF male connectors, they did, and everything seemed fine. We drove out to get it (30 minutes each way), not a good experience once we got there. We asked the man working at the counter, whom I had spoken to on the phone, for that cable, and he went and grabbed it for us. We paid and left. In the car we realized he had given us RG58 instead of RG8X, a lossier cable if youre doing longer runs like I am. We went back, told him that we got the wrong cable thinking he did it by mistake, he instead told us that its just as good and that we wouldnt notice a difference, I insisted for RG8X after arguing with him about it for a minute or two and he told me that If I wanted any I would have to solder on the cables myself, completely a different story than what I was told on the phone. He got the cable for us, and with the connectors it ended up costing us another 15-30 bucks. Im glad we could get what we needed, but lying about what products you have just because something works just as good is not good customer service. Ill make sure to triple check next time I go there.
Did go there went to Jomba Juice.
I love that this store is still open and carries all the pieces I can’t find anywhere else. Raven there is like a tech guru and has totally saved a couple of my projects now, highly recommend here.
Radio shack is great on there info and there product I wish slc had them still but worth the drive
They had just what we needed and offered another solution that fit our needs even better!
They didnt sell me a speaker wire by the foot. Instead they want it for me to buy the whole thing. Ridiculous.
Had to return what I thought was an ethernet cable which was too short. Muhammad offered to replace the product for the same price I had paid for to get a longer cord and the right product. He still provided me the refund. Needless to say, he has everything you may need and then some. Will return if I need any other product that may be hard to find. Thanks Muhammad for the great customer service!
One of the last Radio Shacks in the nation!You can find pretty much everything electronic here! And, someone that knows what theyre talking about, and is always willing to help.Stop here before going anywhere else, you wont be disappointed.
Love this place for my electronics needs. The little parts nobody else has
Muhammad, the man running the store, was very helpful and friendly to me. He helped me find the right International electrical power travel adapter that I needed. The store, though small, was very well stocked and had exactly what I needed. Kudos to RadioShack! I am grateful there are still stores like this around for times when I dont have time to wait for Amazon Prime to deliver! :-)
Thrilled to still have a radio shack around, I’ve needed hard to find parts like thermal fuses and diodes a few times and this Radio Shack always has what I need.
Great selection of supplies and products but their employees are not good. You better have a lot of time and patience if you are going to ask one of them a question. One example is I was on the phone with their store and hung up on the guy because he just kept talking saying I couldn’t do this and needed to do this. My question was if they had something in stock, that’s it. And yet two minutes later of the guy trying to explain what it is used for and what I can and cannot use it for sheesh!!
It seems that this RadioShack is going back to how it was several years ago and once again has a good selection of electronic components, sensors, kits, etc. needed by the hobbyist. Very impressed with the selection. Customer service is good if you need it and although prices are more expensive than online, its nice to find things in stock when you need them quick.
The employee was helpful and made the shopping experience casual and comfortable.
The staff was very knowledgeable about their products.
Great hidden treasure trove of parts for vintage stereo equipment. The guy working knows were everything tell him what you need and youll have it. I will continue to shop here and spread the word!
Helpful and courteous. Still love this store.
They are great place to get nail and spa wounderful people
Thank goodness for this radio shack! The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful and they carried the fuses I needed. This is the only radio shack in the area and the only place to find electronic components without going online. The store is easy to access from I-15. Great experience.
Great knowledge (the manager). Great selection. 4 times more expensive than amazon though. Nice if you are in a quick bind.
They always know what Im looking for and where to find it.
I gave this one star because I did not have the ability to give it negative stars. I called about replacement batteries for home wireless phones. I was quoted $24.00 per battery. Since I needed 4 I told the person on the phone that I could purchase a new phone system with 4 phones and new batteries for what he wanted to charge me for 4 batteries. He said he could discount the batteries $5.00 each. I told him that a $19.00 price was still way out of line. I checked on line and order 4 batteries with sales tax and shipping for $26.33. That is far better that the rip off price of $19.00 per battery plus tax quoted by Radio Shack.Buyer beware with Radio Shack in Layton, Utah.
Glad this radio shack is able to stay in business. All the best youd expect to see in radio shack. Recommend coming here. The employee was able to answer my questions and was friendly. Hopefully enough people will be show thier support for a great establishment
If you havent been in this radio shack in awhile, like myself, you will be glad to know that they have ditched the phones. Seems like the store is working its way back to what it used to be in the 80s and 90s. Guy behind the counter both times i have been back to the store has been very helpful. The prices are maybe a bit high, but i will gladly pay more if it helps get the shack back to its glory days.
Good, competent help.!!
The guy in there is super helpful and friendly. Previously I left a negative review, but I had a much better experience today. The guy was just running a bit late the other day.
They took Radio Shack away from Ogden area but there is one in Layton... But they are very friendly and helpful. We will be going back...
Pretty much every time I go here they dont have what Im looking for. The workers are usually pretty helpful to come up with alternative ideas but for being an electronics supply store, it just doesnt cut it.
Best service ! Impressive Tech knowledge
Guy behind the counter who runs the store went bolistic on me. Me head phones broke right after I bought them and I am very careful with my head phones. Either way I went to exchange them because with mass production their can be problems with one I usually only buy beats never had an issue but this guy proceeded to be angry. And yelled at me profusely about it being my fault. When all I wanted was a good working head phone well he opened the new ones and started tearing them apart and yanking the hell out of them and I’m like please don’t do that with the head phones your replacing mine with and he’s like it doesn’t matter these are mine even though they were the head phones he was trading mine with he was almost breaking them and I nicely ask him to stop but he did not care he was determined to show me it was all my fault
Very pleasant place to buy electronics and parts. Very nice staff to. This is an owner oporated store and it is a step up from most radio shacks.
Muhammad you are a life saver!!!! Thank you sooo much for your gracious help in solving my dilemma with new cable adaptions! Your happy demeanor and professionalism was genuine and exceptional. Thank you! 🙏
Hard to find parts.... guy behind the counter was very helpful and kind.
Came from another state, bought a audio product for my car, it didnt work. Tryed to return it in my state where I returned home. Couldnt accept because independent owned store......came back to Utah when I could and then they cant give refund back because it was over a month..... horrible customer service and company. I have no product now as they stuff their pockets with my $25. Never again. I hope this company collapses.
Great service, very good product mix, Specially parts, cables, adapters etc... Staff is very knowledgeable and didnt sold me just what i asked, employee took time to understand my needs and find the right item according to my needs. And save me time by pointing out related items,overall great experience, and will recommend and will shop there more often.
I tried to ask the sales person for a toggle switch and a rotary switch to which the sales person start going off about how they were to different types of switches and how I cant have both....No kidding thats why I asked for both a rotary and a toggle not a rotary toggle! He then hands me a rotary switch to which I asked if he had one with a thinner post like 9mm which he said this is universal and will fit any swicth...maybe you should ask the customer what to they need it for or just listen to what the customer wants. You dont know what I am building so dont tell me its universal just to make a sale...Wonder why we buy online instead of going to a joke of an electronic store where we are not listened to.
Store’s OPEN sign is on, doors are locked and no one is inside. It’s 5:40 PM on Monday. “Open until 8 PM”. This is the second time it’s happened.
Had just what we needed. Very helpful staff
Had to wait 10 min after store hours for the employee to show up and open the doors. Guess you dont need to be on time to work here.
Seems like Radio Shack has turned into a cell phone accessory store. You just cant get all of the unique, individual components like you used to. Sure they still have soldering irons and a few connectors, but not like 15 years ago. Not sure how much longer they will be around.
First of all, I call multiple times today and they never answered. I get there and ask for a product and they say theyve never seen it before. I walk down one isle and find it. Seems like they just want to get rid of you so they can make their job easier. Horrible service.
Service was great! Very well organized.
Bought a modem and we opened the box and it wasnt the right modem. Tried to return the modem but they couldnt take it back because of the box was opened.
They didnt have what I needed but at least they knew what they had. They were very helpful.
Staff is rarely helpful, but it is the only place you can get most electronic parts without ordering online.
Well organized and the people working know the store and where everything is.
Radio shack is one of those stores that when you need a special part they got it. And they are always willing to help.
Horrible customer service. Kyle acted like I was interrupting something more important. Gave me zero help with my issue. Will not be back.
Great to have a place to grab parts from.
I had just come from Best Buy and they were no help at all. RadioShack got me what I needed at a good price.
Did not have even the Raspberry Pi Zero. Good only for basic parts like Transistors, cables etc.
Manager is helpful and to the point.
They got stuff you need at convenience pricing. What do you expect?
I wish radio shack wasnt dying. I love radio shack.
Always has the right stuff. Great for the techy.Im a big fan of the small computer known as the Rasberry pi. I get all kinds of raw electronic components for my Rasberry pi projects here at Radio Shack. Sometimes I just need to get the stuff I need right now in stead of waiting for a shipment.
Decent selection of absurdly overpriced components. If you can wait for shipping, prices online are a tenth of theirs.
Great customer service, they were extremely helpful. I came in, they got me what I needed, and I was out in a couple minutes.
Unique and on demand products, affordable prices, and its the only electronic store that provides personalized service for the electronic hobbyist.
I went in on 9 - 7 - 18 and had a really good experience with a man with an accent who really tried to help me with my questions and problem-solve while looking for capacitors and made for a really easy exchange when we realized the wrong capacitors were in the wrong slot. But I came back on 9 - 8 - 18 at about 7:30 and the man that was there was very short, very lacking in knowledge of basic electronic components, had no answers for me on my broad range of questions and seemed really agitated I was trying to interact with him. The entire time he followed me around this store standing feet away from me just staring at me and my girlfriend. when it got down to the last 15 minutes of the store being open he started to count down the minutes getting noticeably aggravated up until the point that we checked out about 3 minutes before the store closed. After we checked out I walked directly to the left to check the price of a breadboard and announced thats all I was doing and he got short and aggravated with a very unpleasant k, seriously we are closing soon remark. I felt very uncomfortable and very distracted causing me to lose track of what I was doing and lose track of the math also causing me to forget some of the items that I needed. I was very excited to find out that there was a RadioShack not too far from me but It is safe to say that I wont be returning, the products are cheaper online anyway.
This is one of the last radio shacks in and around the area, I was actually shocked when I saw it and had to stop in to take a look. I dont remember radio shack having such a broad range of items. They had things for the DIY person(diodes, resistors, leds...) to a huge selection of batteries. I was pleasantly surprised that there selection of cb and handheld radios was bigger than most truck shops. I felt like a kid in a candy store plus it just felt so nostalgic to actually still be able to walk into one of these stores. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Glad there is still one! They are great!
Helpful place for all the odds and ends electronics
Great serivces.. they even let me return product after I destroyed the packaging..
This is total nerdvana! So much electronics and services! I hate leaving and had to keep from hugging staff. Haha! What a wonderful place. Have so many DIY components, specially was amazed to see Arduino and Raspberry pi boards, kits etc......Employees are freiendly & knowledgeable, Overall great shopping experience.
Gonna miss this place when its gone. No more local parts for diy electronics
Good selection, great resource for need it now parts.
Limited selection of parts and really expensive, many common dev boards ar 2-3x the price of online retailers
Well organized and an easy grab what you need any go place.
I’m very upset at the product (ILIVE 5.1 home theater system) and the way the guy acted. This package is clearly damage, I asked if he had one in the back, he said no, I asked if it had been used before or if anything was damaged he said no. I am going to return tomorrow.
Glad this store survived. Prices seem a little high, but they have stuff you cant get any where else.
I am looking for a belt clip for a wolki talki david Packard
This is not Radio Shackljke we used to know it. Everything was over priced even by Radio Shacks standards.
Cool guy who works there helped me find something I was looking for.
Had just what I needed to repair garage door remote
You go in and ask for a cell cover they give you the worng thing then you buy a cell phone there and you have issues with it then two days later you take it back and they wont reply it when its been within 14 days and they want you spend 100 bucks on a phone and said you wont have issue if you pay that much its bullshit they are just liers and dont know NOTING traget knows more and they say metro pcs dont know anything why you think i changed services from you guys stupid
Got pay that didnt fit. Had to spend a certain amount up use card.
Radio Shack has a lot of electronics kits and robots. They also had some of those pop can RC cars and a ton of drones.
Great service, always been helpful and knowledgeable.
A shadow of days of yor.
It was ok they had the right 3.5mm cord I needed but customer service not the best at all.
The only place I could find the electronic adapters I needed.
High priced electronics, but they will have what your looking for almost guaranteed
I am glad this store is still around providing electrical parts in a pinch.
Still extremely expensive. No wonder stores are closing.
Great clearance prices on outdated tech.
Great service and selection.
Not like an old raido shack.
The staff went above and beyond to help me with an unusual request for hardware for a class electronics workshop. Thanks!
Glad they still in business.
Poor service and employees fail to inform customers of things that are NOT RETURNABLE. Will only be coming back to this RadioShack unless it is totally necessary, if not, definitely going elsewhere or to another RadioShack.
Products are pricey compared to bestbuy or Walmart
