CompUSA.com is a very large online electronics retailer. The site offers a tremendous selection of electronics products at competitive prices. CompUSA.com accepts PayPal as a form of payment, which may be an upside for a lot of online shoppers. Unfortunately, CompUSA.com has an unsatisfactory return policy. Most items have a restocking fee if they can be returned, but many products purchased from CompUSA.com can not even be returned at all, depending on which manufacture the products are made by.

The website does have many online features such as an Online Rebate Center to print rebate forms and even a few specialty sites such as a Business Sales Center, a Clearance Center, and a Recertified Center.
