Canada Computers & Electronics

I always found what I look for in tgis store but what a disappointment now. Shelves are half empty, looks like they are ready to move or close. When asked, they reply «we are still restocking after holidays» c’mon in feb.

Good prices for products, getting help takes a long time though if you need something from behind the counter. I would increase the rating if they would get their service up.

sales staff are pretty useless. It’s too bad that Canadian businesses can’t provide decent customer service. A corpse in a morgue would have a better personality than some of the associates working at the Kennedy location.

Has great computer stuff at [generally] affordable prices, better than Future Shop and Best Buy usually. Kinda hard to get the attention of a sales associate, and had to ask 2 – 3 before I finally got a hold of one who knew what I wanted. Probably best to shop here if you know exactly what you’re looking for — otherwise, if you need to ask for help, your experience here really depends on who you ask.

I love this place. I can get whatever software I need for a great price. Upgraded my Macbook Pro’s harddrive and RAM by four times. I Recommend this place!

CC generally has a good price for what your looking for.
That is if you build your own computers.
My last build i pretty well got almost everything from CC
One thing about this place is they take credit cards
The other stores i generally go to take cash or interact.
This only adds service fees to my purchase
There’s always ample staff to help you
And they seem to be knowledgeable enough
can’t back that up since i always go with the research behind what i’m buing
but if i ask they normally can answer or inquire about my querries.

As a computer guy I like being able to ask for something and have the staff know what Im talking about. They are more expensive than the online alternatives but not by any long shot. They could to to create custom PC bundles/​combos still. Its fast easy convenient and I can usualy reason with there busy but still friendly staff. For example my NZXT Gama case was a display, I brought up to the manager that the case looks fine but there might be some problems such as dammage or missing parts and a return is a pain in the back end. So When I asked for %15 off he thought for a second and agreed.

Now im not a techie by anymeans, I don’ t know the difference between microchip and a potote chip for the most part… ok im not that bad but my point is im not computer wise at all when it comes to parts. I like this place because I can just walk in with my list of gibberish (stuff i really dont know what it is) and they find it for me. Doing this I have not brought home a bad birthday gift for my techie bf yet, so to me this is a good thing. I also don’t feel stupid doing this either. Knowing how to shop ive also noticed ive gotten good deals compared to other places aswell, which agin makes me happy. they do give discounts if the package is ruined abit, or they add on an extra guarantee. I do recommed comming in with a list of what you need because it usally is quite busy so just to save time it does help.

Canada Computers is a decent store with decent prices, but a horrible policies. Their prices are decent, but definitely cheaper than say BestBuy or FutureShop.
Returning and exchanging items is horrible. They argue and argue until you give up. Asides from that they don’t even follow their own policies. They have a ‘no questions asked price match’ policy. It’s as if it doesn’t exist. Also many times I have shopped there the sales representatives were nice, but had no clue about anything in the store besides where the item is located. Also beware that used/​returned items may be marked as new.
I would say do not shop here. If you must shop at this location, consider BestBuy and FutureShop instead. They have a much better return/​exchange policy and they will price match Canada Computers.

Canada Computers was once a decent computer retail outlet (notwithstanding the restrictive return policies). Prices are average to good, and even though you can usually get the same item cheaper online or at places like Tiger Direct, you get what you want faster as long as it’s in stock.
Unfortunately that convenience advantage is well and truly squandered by the less than helpful sales associates at the Kennedy location. If you must shop at this location make sure you know what you want before you go.
