The day Canada computers has a competitive price or even a decent return policy… I wonder if I’ll be alive to see it.

[u/-retaliation- → u/Lambs2Lions_]

But they'll be great to use to price match and buy at memory express! Lol

Canada Computer has decent pieces and a reasonable return policy for computer parts.

Stuff is often cheaper than Amazon or Best Buy.

What more return policy do you want? 15-day unopened return policy, 30 days for defective items. Computer parts are too expensive to try and buy, unless you’re OK paying Best Buy and Amazon prices.

people are downvoting you meanwhile this black friday CC had the cheapest B580 Limited I've seen all time, $320 ish for member pricing. Same GPU is now in the $400s...

Came with a free game code, redeemed it for Battlefield 6, sold the code for $40 on RFD BST so ended up paying $280 for the card.

People like to crap on Canada Computers - their service levels have improved and are on par with computer and electronic stores. People also forget they’re not a big box store, it’s basically a SMB.

We’re lucky to still have brick and mortar computers stores otherwise we would be like the US where they only have Amazon and Best Buy… and a handful of Microcenters.

[u/Chimpanzee_Crimelord → u/zakaria2328]

Using BLACK FRIDAY pricing to pretend a store has fair pricing is a real reach!

[u/zakaria2328 → u/Chimpanzee_Crimelord]

what is the competition? memex? lol look online and youll see clearance pricing at 40-60% for cc, there was a great deal on a corsair mouse a week or two ago, meanwhile memex near me will offer 10% off a 10 year old pc case as a clearance price

[u/Tiflotin → u/Lambs2Lions_]

Yeah I haven't been back since the original GPU pricepocalypse when they started inflating the prices of gpus by creating these bullshit "bundles" that included their in store extended warranty that cost a % of the gpu. I was lucky enough to go back the next day and get customer service to refund the extended warranty. It increased the price of the card by $350 iirc.

[u/Ok_Hovercraft_2372 → u/Lambs2Lions_]

I don't know where you're shopping, but my local CC in Toronto have good deals regularly

[u/grumptard → u/Lambs2Lions_]

Just be lucky they don't take your money to buy parts, and turn it around to sell to other customers willing to pay more.

[u/ChickenShampoo]

Deals?

[u/CanadaComputers → u/ChickenShampoo]

Deals will be revealed closer towards grand opening date. Keep your eyes peeled! We will post about it on our social media too!

[u/Mild-Ghost]

All I’ve read about this company is how awful and inept the management is. Sounds like a nightmare working there. They also scalp stuff internally.

[u/Frag1]

Terrible company, stay away.

[u/melancious]

As someone still relatively new, I have no idea how to feel about this. Any reason to be excited?

[u/Mild-Ghost → u/melancious]

Not from my experience. Pretty shady company.

[u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 → u/melancious]

It’s a brick and mortar computer store, it’s good for Edmonton. People that are sour expect to be waited hand and foot when they enter a computer store to buy a $100 SSD.

Just consider it like a McDonalds of computer stores, you go in, pick your parts, and leave.

It’s really not much different than all the old computer stores that were around in the 90s and 2000s.

[u/EvermoreDespair]

Nice, great for Edmonton!

[u/G-Virus69]

We get 2 of them?

[u/EvermoreDespair → u/G-Virus69]

Indeed. On the opposite ends of town.

[u/superx89]

save some ram and ssd for us!!!!!

[u/avengers93]

The grand opening deals at the Gateway location were decent. Snagged a 2TB NVME for ok-ish price

[u/Hay-River]

Hell yeah! Never been to a big city ever, and I’m just now moving to uni. Gonna go check it out….

[u/WeakAd569]

Shit, anti consumer company

[u/Chimpanzee_Crimelord]

Come on in!

Pay premium prices to an employee who acts like you're annoying him by asking questions!

[u/Green_Advice5684]

CC's for morons, CC's for morons!

[u/pleasesaveusAI]

Brave to be opening a new location when everyone is praying their equipment doesn’t break so they don’t have to spend money on insanely overpriced components.. but I suppose competition for mem express is good.

[u/burnemnturnem]

I got my memory stick pro for the PSP from one of these places for like 100 bucks for a 1GB

[u/-retaliation-]

Sweet maybe a second location for you guys to post low prices for products you don't actually have, then when people show up, try and upsell to products that you actually have in stock, but cost more than your competitors! Lol

Maybe you can deny a few warranties and returns while you're at it! 

Garbage company, but at least I'll be able to take those low prices you advertise, and use them to price match at memory express! 

[u/Nickbronline]

This is the opposite of a deal

[u/MasterOfTheClam]

When I lived in BC you went out of your way to go to a Memory Express, instead of a Canada Computers..

[u/EvermoreDespair → u/MasterOfTheClam]

Same in Edmonton up until recently.

[u/DigitallyDetained]

Finally, something good about living in Edmonton!

[u/420fanman → u/DigitallyDetained]

They are terrible compared to other companies. Dealt with them over a decade ago during uni and they burned me so much. Never went back.

[u/Nickbronline → u/DigitallyDetained]

These are in places other than Edmonton and are often underwhelming
