Shof Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Glad to here that, there instore pick is a ****ing joke. I placed my order once in the morning, then in the evening coming home from work i went to pick up my order. Instead of just going in and out, i had to wait in the store for about an hour for them to process my order and get my order and do whatever they had to do Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/605556-compusa-going-out-of-business/#findComment-589044360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

htwho Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Bad selection = Go out of business. You can buy Macs online. It's better than buying from a store since you can bypass the technically challenged sales rep.

Wonder what you're thinking about right now :laugh: I'm kind of sad about them going out of business. I know the manager at the one by my house, and he always gives me discounts. I bought a Mac Mini and a 20" ACD last year in June, and he gave me 20% off, and the same on my MacBook Pro and second ACD that I bought a couple months ago.

sundayx Veteran Posted December 8, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2007 Expected, I never shop from them, small stores (Toronto) and prices that are not competitive at all.

Statikk Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Good riddance. As an ex-employee I'm glad to see the place finally close up. It's been headed toward this for ages now. Hope they have some going out of business deals! :devil: (I do however feel for all the employees that will be left jobless.)

I am Reid Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 All I have to say: THANK GOD my Best Buy sells Macs. It's local and it'll be here for years to ######. How many macs do you buy? also, you should try to use the word "come", over ######. I know, its longer, but "######" makes me giggle like I was in 6th grade again.

tp2215 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hey, i dont know about anyone else, but this kinda ****es me off. Is it me or pretty much all of the stores that sell individual computer parts are going out of buiseness. First they pretty much closed any of the other smaller stores that sold parts for us geeks (pc builders warehouse etc.) and I assumed it was because comp usa put them out of buiseness. I guess there is still best buy but they are too comercial if you ask me and they have a large selection but only a limited selection of what they do have. Anyway, thats just my oppinion :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/605556-compusa-going-out-of-business/#findComment-589044466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeing 787 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I received so much free stuff from CompUSA with all those free after rebates deals. The problem with CompUSA is that it is to big and didn't stay in the niche computer category. I would have loved to shoot to it and have the choice between dozens of PSU's, cables, motherboards, etc. They were toast when they tried to compete against Best Buy and Circuit City.

randy_tho Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 We use them a lot for orders at work. If you can get a good sales rep then it is a nice setup with quick shipments and fast delivery. Their prices from what I have seen even rival most online only stores. The selection is much better if you look on compusabusiness.com Although I have had all of the 3 times I've been in a store to be a less than desirable experience.
