Always the best prices, convenient location and helpful staff.
Spectacular location. Good assortment of stock, excellent prices and knowledgabe, friendly staff. This is the first place I look at for computer needs and your should too.
Pretty good! The employees work hard and are always willing to help.
Not sure why they even have staff there. Useless. They don't know much of the products they sell and more than half the time, I'm doing the research myself when I'm there. Service is horrible as well
When checking for inventory, the website amount does not match the locations. So do call ahead if you can to see if they can put it on hold for you. We also had nice, cool staff members help us. And we also had one staff that didn't want to help us. It's a mix feeling, maybe an off day. Overall, the store is nice and clean. I would go there again. Beware of the parking here as it could get confusing with the traffic.
When I need a computer part it's normally in Stock here. The sales they have are quite good.
My son purchased some parts from here and some from other stores and had it built and set up with the service department. We couldn’t be happier! Peter took our order and did the build. The system looks amazing incredibly clean and organised. It’s a see they case and his workmanship is on display. It was completed quickly at a fair price. Thank you for great service and especially to Peter for getting it done so fast and making it Look great!
Wouldn't let you in without a mask and couldn't touch anything wasn't very friendly
Had good deals on the range of laptops I was looking for. Staff helped me pretty quickly. Overall very courteous and helpful. A little more casual in conversation than I was expecting, but no points lost there. Got a good product for a good price and good service. That's all I can hope for. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and will for sure visit again.
If you don't like buying online and want to be able to walk into a physical Store Canada Computers is your One-Stop shop for anything and everything PC related!
Had a good experience having these guys build a computer for me. I got a top of the line computer built with a 1080 ti graphics card, water cooled i7 4.3 GHz processor, HTC vive. They let me bring in my own corsair 750 watt PSU, and they price matched the SSD hard drive and CPU. I wanted a Samsung CHG90 49" gaming monitor, they are very hard to get in Canada, the guys at Canads Computers were able to track it down for me at a fair price. The only negative experience was that the manager kind of flipped out when the sales rep asked to price match the GPU. Newegg had the graphics card $150 cheaper, but they didn't end up price matching it because apparently that's the only item that they don't price match. Pretty stress free sales process, the guys were helpful and they didn't try to upsell me. Highly recommended if you aren't too concerned with price matching. I think it was $100-$150 to get them to do the build for me.
A true tech one-stop-shop. As a PC builder and a professional tech, this place has almost everything that I need when it comes to consumer products. The employees are always looking to lend a hand and a knowledgeable recommendation. 5 stars for great service, quality products and great policy.
Vast selection of computer components and accessories. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. It's unfortunate that they closed their second store near downtown, as this one is rather out of the way from the rest of the city.
In response to Kevin Dennie's comment. I was in the store when your wife was screaming at the top of her lungs at the …
Its alright, not very friendly staff
UPDATE: After going back to purchase new RAM, I had a very pleasant experience. All the staff were super friendly and the clerk helping me was really knowledgeable. I am altering my review to five stars. I’ve been going to the Canada Computers in Burlington and Mississauga for years, so I was ecstatic when I learned they were opening an location closer to home. First time visiting the curbside guy was a little rude. Came outside to tell me that I was lined up wrong despite no floor markings (a tiny sign at the entrance isn't enough) and he seemed in a rush to get me out the door despite there being no line behind me. After I paid I asked for a bag and he just handed me one like it wasn't his problem, no offer to bag it or anything. I had to stand there without any surface and awkwardly shuffle my expensive electronics into a bag while he watched. I nearly dropped my $200 watercooler! Don’t get me wrong, their selection of PC components & electronics is great and prices are fair. Curbside orders are ready for pickup in a matter of hours for same or next-day pickup. I’d recommend them for PC components, just don’t expect good customer service.
I visited there to buy my ASUS TUF Gaming 706... These guys are polite and have avgood knowledge of their job.
Shelves were empty but staff were friendly.
I was building a PC and was so incredibly lost. I took it into see Lance and he dropped everything he was doing and took the time to diagnose and fix my problem. The staff is really helpful and knowledgeable about the products. You want quality parts or work go here!
Very competitive prices
Great deals
Had Michael help us today get everything we needed to build a computer for our son. He was a great help.took his time and ensured that we had everything to our liking. He then help my other some pick out another SSD hard drive for his computer. Great job with both, and I highly recommend Michael if you need anything.
Never shopped here but excellent prices
Nice space old location ofNCIX, one staff member helped me pick the components for a new computer and was supremely helpful through the whole process.
Amazing customer service and informative staff that are always happy to help navigate their huge selection of products. Thank you Justin!
Best electronics store in town
It was great while it was still there. The tech guy helped me even after warranty expired. Thanks!
some of the best prices in Canada, worth going to for computer needs
Good distancing protocols and process
Friendly and helpful service here with lots of different computers and accessories.
Took laptop there for repair. They couldn’t fix it so they sent it away. The could not provide a cost estimate for repairs. Two months later and we’re still waiting for it to be returned. No computer; no update. Maybe try Geek Squad at Best Buy.
I was put on backorder for 8 months for a graphics card they didn't even own or plan to ever get. they took full deposit and didn't even inform me that they wouldn't ever own the item I was on backorder for, for 8 months for.
Horrible customer service. We spoke to Jacob at the store and he was not interested in listening to us. I hope the management will take action and hire better staff in the future. We wanted to buy two items. One gaming computer for my teenage son and ram for my 5 year old daughter’s computer. Despite me explaining I don’t need another gaming computer for 5 year old he kept insisting that adding ram would not help build an other gaming computer. We should buy a gaming computer for $1400. Staff is expected to listen to customers. As for my son. He did a ton of research online but Jacob was telling him totally different story. Forcing him to get a prebuilt. My son told me that if we had gone to pc part picker website we could find a better computer for better price. Please be aware of the staff and make sure you don’t deal with Jacob
I asked for recommendations on buying refurbished computers and accessories, and was told to go to CC on Wellington. I'm glad I did. I looked at two other stores and CC beat their prices easily. Sales associate MacKenzie was super helpful, saved me money with his recommendations, checked the refurbished purchases before he would let me go home with them. He tore through my shopping list in about 20 minutes, all with a smile. I will def go back. Plus their toner prices are great!
If you don't know your stuff, staff will try to upsell. Ask many questions before you buy!
They had what I need and it was quick and easy.
Terrible service. Manager is condescending and rude.
The prices are great if you know what you're looking for, but it can be difficult to get help when you need it, and the layout can be intimidating for someone not familiar with the technology that they are looking for.
Got my last work rig from here. Good service, did pretty well on price matching, and assembled the computer wonderfully. Only down side was turnaround time, but understandable given the parts list (water cooling and all). I Didn't get a walk through of the particulars, like I would have liked, or any options regarding fan placements. But they did a fine job with the water cooling - ensuring the least amount of dust could collect in the radiator.
the worst customer service, website site says they have curb side pick up, go there and they do not, they don't answer there phones or anything, they nothing to try and help you with your orders that have been paid for.
One of the best spots to pick up high end computer components/peripherals in London. Their prices compare favourably to both other box stores and online e-retailers. Especially during sales. This location is quite large, and well staffed. They also provide build and repair services. I am still sad however, that they closed their Richmond and Oxford location. This is right at the south end and hard for North enders and the university crowd to get to.
Knowledgeable and helpful staff!
NCIX was once an excellent, knowledgeable place to stop and shop for computer components/electronics; now, with nearly half the store taken up by storage, it's basically just a place to pick up items purchased online. The website is still fine, though often not priced competitively.
They just moved to this location and it's so much better than their old one. The staff are super helpful and they have pretty much anything you could ask for!
My favourite computer store. Better than Amazon.
i went to buy a low profile gpu there. on the phone i asked if they had any, they answered yes and i asked if they could fit it in for me obviously for a fee and the guy said yes, when i got there, they said they wouldnt do it and when i asked if i could try it out in my desktop pc which i had there just to make sure it fits they said no and all sales are final, staff there is quite rude and un helpful, wont be returning to this specific store again
Had a good talk with one sales associate at the Sherway store, and then they price matched a lower price from another store plus gave me an extra 10% of the difference... 2 thumbs ???????? The flip side is that the Centerpoint location shut down in-person shopping, so they 2 thumbs ????????
Friendly helpful service. Well stocked.
I would in a heartbeat recommend this NCIX location to anyone!! Their level of customer service is impeccable!! They were super (SUPER) helpful during the entire process and they were always there to assist and follow-up with any of my questions and requests. They definitely exceed my expectations of a business and I will definitely come back to them for future business! Jeff & Joshua were extremely helpful and responded in a very timely matter. Great job NCIX, you are all STARS!! :) Thanks again for the amazing level of service! :) There needs to be more businesses like this! :)
Very professional and committed staff
The hardware wonderland I never knew I needed in my life
I wanted to know the cost for repair/labour for the GPU for my alienware laptop. They made a mistake, took over 3 weeks to give me a quote. I spoke with the store manager Sean, and he was very helpful. He listened, understood and offered me an acceptable solution (discounts towards a new desktop). I was debating between repairing and building a new desktop so it worked out well. I am happy to deal with NCIX and recommend them.
If only I could give 0/5 stars. Horrific service. They back ordered 2/3 of my items within 2 weeks. They never put anything aside for their customers so if you’re waiting on one thing on backorder, you better hope the other doesn’t get back ordered. Also have waited countless hours during all times throughout the day just to get ahold of customer support. Why not go through live chat you may ask? Because I’ve also tried waiting 4 hours for someone to answer, which they never did. The 2 other companies in which I ordered from along with Canada Computers, shipped and delivered everything before Canada Computers could even process anything. Worst company I have ever ordered from.
Amazing store, reasonable prices, and great customer service ????
Got a computer accessorie I was looking for.
I am more than just another customer, i am remembered and most importantly I am respected. The staff are very knowledgeable and are confident in their ability to solve all of their customers issues, and they are very approachable. The only electronics and computer hardware store you need.
Found a rare cable st this store that I couldn't find anywhere! Great prices! And although only there for a cable,huge selection to choose from of many other items. Great selection and service!!!
Local computer company. Decent and knowledgeable staff. If your hunting for computer parts, you can get some great deals and even an extention on sale prices for a time.
Ordered a bunch of components a week and a half ago and haven't received any shipping notification or delay notice. Order confirmation gave an estimated delivery of a week and their sit shows no delays for shipping. I have been trying to contact them for three days now though every channel they have and have gotten nobody. I've been sitting on phone for an hour after finally getting into a call queue instead of being hung up on and have been thrown between dialing through and being put back into queue. They've already charged me, so now they've had my money for a week and a half and I haven't even received a notification.
Nice place for geeks! I think they have a bigger place here now than their previous place. But due to lots of stuffs, it doesn’t feel like it’s a bigger place. There’s a lot of stuffs!!! Best place to buy rechargeable batteries, phone chargers and hard to find spare parts, even the tools like special screw driver sets like those you can see at iFixIt! The only comment I have is their paying method. This is a computer/electronics store, and just like Best Buy, they should offer instead of printing the receipt, the email it to you. It helps a lot especially those people need to return their product, they don’t need to keep the receipt but just show the email they receipt. Saves paper as well!
My friends and I have very bad experience shopping with them "IN B.C. Store Promotion items without stock First, one of my friends want to buy a 480GB SSD from them because it is very cheap ($149). When he talked to the sales, Sales: "There is no stock and you pay for it first and we order it in. my friend: "how long will it take, any ETA" Sales: "No idea, maybe 2-3 weeks, or longer" my friend: "If I pay right now, can I refund it if wait too long" Sales: "We cannot refund it. You must wait until the item come in and we can do the refund at that time" What the hell? My friend said if they take the money and close the store. What can I do? There is no way to give them money and wait for unknown ETA. At the end, my friend end up buy nothing from them Now, My story is: I have a EHF and PST exemptions for my company in B.C.. I want to purchase some equipment from them. The sales told me they cannot do it and I have to talk to C2C (what is it?) Toronto head office. It is okay. I send them an email and ask for it. They replied my email and attached me a "Certificate of Exception General" form from B.C. government. I told them it is not required in B.C. and the form has cleared stated that the following:- "This certificate may only be used by a person who does not have a PST number under the Provincial Sales Tax Act. If you have a PST number, you may not use this certificate and must provide your PST number to the seller to make the exempt purchases or leases." Canada Computers doesn't seem to understand English or they don't understand the rule in B.C.. They keep asking me to fill the form. It is okay. I filled the form and send it back to them. Also, I asked for EHF exemption. They told me the following: "Our accounting manager refused to give any EHF exemption to any companies" What the hell? I totally don't understand what they are doing at all. End up, I am buying stuff from other source. "
Improved size, proper layout good customer service
Came in looking for a gaming laptop. Thank the lord Justin was there. After we discussed what games I would be playing and my editing software that I would like to run on the machine; he suggested the Acer Nitro 5. I AM IN LOVE WITH MY PURCHASE. Justin even helped me to save 300$ off MSRP so I could include the 3yr guarantee within my budget [saved me a YEAR wait from the manufacturer, woo hoo!] I was even able to score a cooling pad, mouse, mouse pad and flat ethernet cable for all my needs, ALL ON SALE. Got one free cleaning already in the bag and my acer is purring. Thank you Justin, 12/10 ++
Pleasant to deal with, professional and yet able to make and laugh at jokes in these trying pandemic times. The best spot in London to get PC parts.
It's ok
The staff at this location is a joke, they special ordered a wrong AKRacing chair for me but I cannot exchange because it is a special ordered item.
Super friendly staff. Always helpful. Have any questions? They will help you out!
All the people there are amazing most importantly is that they are polite and thanks Jacob for assisting me stay safe buddy
Great prices for a retail location and an unparalleled selection of computer hardware!
Excellent service
Overall the best computer shop in London that I have found but many of the good items are out of stock so Its always good to check the website stock listing first. Some of the staff aren't the best but they can find you what you want. Can't recommend these guys more if you're looking for anything from Ram to a graphics card. I'd give them 5 stars if they had more stock
If you need any computer parts or some help these guy's will try to help you out.
Great products, great service, great prices!
The staff here were very friendly. Even during busy black friday sales the staff would take time and help guide through all my problems.
Really cool store, Mark was super nice!! Also I don’t know what other people are whining about, the service was great and we got a good price on our hardware. Thanks Markk!!!!!
Excellent shop. You may be able to find better prices online but if you need to pick something up now, or if you want some good advice, this store is the place to go in London.
I bought a computer here back in November. The laptops screen had started to unhinge and I took it in for a repair. After pulling it out I was told "Oh we don't repair phsycial damage". Was offered no help despite having warrenty on the computer.
Location is further away from where I usually go to, but this location is massive! Usually come here when I'm in the area and in need of some cables, or car accessories. At times, when I do need help there are some nice people to answer any questions I have. Sales are pretty good, usually worth it when buying storage options, ie SD cards. Also keep a look out for deals on their website. Also, when making purchases, and if you have a rewards account, be sure to mention it during checkout, cashier tend to forget about it.
Store is clean and pretty well organized. Staff is friendly and there are many of them so you can get fast service. They're knowledgeable about their products as well. Overall, my visits have been a good experience.
Had tried to get the 5700 XT to work with my setup and wasn't able to. Logan helped upgrade me to a 2070 super and it has been running great. Amazing service, I appreciate all your help!
Best computer store in town. They have a huge inventory of the latest components. You can walk in and walk out with everything you need to build a computer the same day. Prices are competitive with online retailers.
I love this store because when it comes to technology, I'm at a loss. The staff are great and the service staff are really helpful, especially Taylor.
Dealt with two staff members. The first walked away rather than help me when I wasn't sure about what ram speed I needed. A second person came around a few minutes later and helped but was humourless. About 15 minutes stood around and wandering without help in total in an empty store with four employees working. They could seriously use some friendly customer service.
I have ordered several machines from the Coquitlam store and been happy with the products I received. It took a little longer than I had hoped for my custom gaming rig to be ready but after a year of use it still run very nicely.
one of the bigger stores staff was nice.
Prices are very good but its someplace you want to know what you want before you get there. Staff knowledge is widely variable and I have had then alternately assume I know nothing about what I need, or unable to find things listed as in stock online which I then found on my own.
pretty limited expertise and not particularly helpful, had better luck finding knowledgeable people at best buy (which should definitely not be the case)
Inexpensive place for components. Staff are friendly and well informed about components for gaming rigs. Less so for any workstation or server grade hardware. Open on weekends, which works for my schedule. Phone ahead to confirm parts in stock. What is on the website ia frequently not up to date and more than a few times I have gone down for an 'in stock' item they didn't actually have and ended up having to go across town to another location.
*EDITED I return to change my original review of 2 stars. Instead of going into a location for such services, I called the website contact number, sent them a deal I found in the web and the specialist in Toronto beat the quote with windows 10 64bit. I am now going to give him $200 more to buff a few things and I couldn't be happier. CALL THE 1888 # FROM THE WEBSITE!!! Also, thank you for your response! ------------- OP(**) Went in to buy a custom build. Tell the tech my max is $1500 for a 3D workstation. He starts concepting a $4000 rig with a $1100 graphics card. They lost my money and business today and the prices at Memory Express are a lot cheaper ( DDR4 Ram at ME is the same as DDR3 at NCIX) up to $50 per component I've seen. I use to buy a pc from them every couple years, but I'm going elsewhere now.
I've been to the Waterloo location 4 times since moving to Waterloo in August 2020. Twice I went to the store to pick up items their website said were in stock only to find the stock was actually the display model. In both cases, no one offered to order me a unit from another location or back order so I just left. Today I was there and there was a line of about 20 people outside. I thought this was a COVID thing, but when I called the store they said they just don't have staff. Maybe staffing and training is a difficult thing in Waterloo. Whatever the cause, the management needs to address it.
Service was great and quick too.
Absolutely blown away and impressed by the service from Canada computers Oshawa. Specifically Mike who helped me proof my design for a custom computer and treated me with exceptional respect and patience as I worked my way through ordering a custom computer for the first time, and Dan who literally spent an entire day and carefully routing the cables and then testing the rig to ensure it was worked properly and the RGB was working as it should. These guys are professionals and they dont fill your computer with bloatware or overcharge you for a name brand like custom computer companies do (Alienware cough cough).. they charged me roughly 200 to build it, route cables, install liquid cooling, set up rgb and windows and after that was only the price of the parts I selected myself (2080Ti/i99900k etc. so not a simple build). This is a great way to really feel like you had a hand in designing and building your own computer. If anyone is thinking of ordering or purchasing a custom computer I highly recommend that you go and see the guys and girls at Canada computers Oshawa first. (I really wish I could post a picture of the computer here it looks amazing!!!). Cheers!
Wow, small store...1,000's of items. Great staff (smart but not pushy) . Oh, yah...pretty good prices too
Purchased a modem and router from here. They knew what I needed. The service is very good.
Staff was helpful when I was building my first computer. They price match but often have the best prices anyway!
Friendly staff and extremely helpful.
Waited until 10am to open and drop my no longer working Carbon X1 for simple data download before I give it back to my workplace. They told me to come back at 12 to drop it off as the technician was not in! I said pardon? I offered to fill out whatever paperwork and leave my credit card info, etc, as I didn't have time to go back. They said, "can't help you". This type of service is taking over Vancouver! Off to Geek Squad.
Reasonable prices, good selection and helpful staff.
Great service and knowledgable staff
Great place to find exactly what you are looking for. The workers are always friendly and very helpful!
Professionalism at its finest. Huge thanks to Brandon and his team for making my dream build possible. One of the best customer service experiences of my life. Also big shout out to Peter for helping with the build!!
Professional quality products and advice. Despite employees having primarily technical skills, they always make an effort to provide friendly and accessible customer service. If you are not very computer literate, try not to take it personally if they seem frustrated by your questions. I recommend researching the product or service you need beforehand in order to save everybody some time and effort. Having a specific list could also be helpful. Their website is easy to navigate and accurately represents the availability of various products.
Unleash your inner tech geek and search their catalog to build your ultimate rig. 9/10
This is the place to go if you are building a computer. Good prices, friendly & helpful staff.
Great experience overall. Got exactly what I wanted and everyone was very pleasant and helpful!
Good for computer and asseseries
Found what I wanted for good price. Professional service.
One of the best places in town for pc components. Wish the website was a bit better but the retail location is great and the staff are always eager to help.
Best place! Guys working here know there stuff.
Disreputable store that sells broken equipment and won't honour their warranties despite the 30 days advertised on their web site. Their retail employees are also casual to convey annoyance at obtaining items from shelves and seem to hate their jobs.
Good customer service the answer all my questions
Have had 2 builds completed by the canada computers team and I can confidently say that they are very knowledgeable about electronics and especially computers. Service team is very consistent with their work and do a great job with hiding cables and installing all parts correctly. Builds are done very fast, received my recent build ahead of schedule. Canada computers is def my go to spot.
Why go to a big box store where most there don't know enough too give you the right info . Well Canada Computers has the merchandise and the people with a wealth of knowledge too inform you on what options are available . And they also have a great service department .
Really not happy with how I was treated a while back. I purchased a headset from the Whitby location while travelling back to London over the holidays, when I got home I noticed the wireless USB dongle was loose so I brought it into the London Location. I was met by a young man the the service desk who proceeded to physically break the USB dongle and then go ask his manager if I could get a replacement off the shelf. The manager said that there was no way to prove that it was a defect and not physical damage, and yet the employee was the one (In store!) who broke the USB dongle completely. Upon phoning in, the most that they offered to do was re-print a receipt so I could follow up with Corsair customer support. No employees or management wanted to actually hear what happened and instead keep saying that I caused the physical damages. I'm still upset over this and will be avoiding future purchases from this location.
Staff had great humor and cared if the computer parts we bought went together with each other
Always been my favorite local computer store. They run great sales, they have a huge assortment of parts and accessories, prices are always good, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The rare time I've needed to return anything it's been a simple process. Technicians know their stuff. Great store.
Best electronics store in London hands down. Friendly staff and a huge selection of equipment!
Went to get some new DDR3 Ram for my latest build. The associate at the counter was quick, helpful and knowledgeable. All in all a good experience for sure
Staff are friendly and helpful, just ask and they will assist you in finding anything you want. They also can answer any technical questions you may have. Prices for computers and computer peripherals/accessories and generally electronic devices are among the best prices I've found in town. To me canada computers is very much like tiger direct used to be...in essence CC (Canada Computers) is the new tiger direct Hope this was helpful Jon
Mat helped me get a great 2 tarabite hard drive and cables on sale. Worth the drive.
Built my first PC with the help of my boyfriend and this staff. They were very knowledgeable and very helpful. I needed all white parts and they ordered all of them. I even showed them my parts list and they advised me against some of my options and gave me cheaper but better ones. Great place for newbies trying to build.
I was sad NCIX shut down but honestly after my first experience here I havent been happier. Amazing customer service the store looks 100 times better then ncix with all the products displayed properly. Me and my friend went there to build his pc and was helped by Jeffery. The experience couldn't have gone better! Jeffery was so helpful and knowledgable about everything. This is 100% the place I will always go to from now on for my pc needs.
So so computer store. Staff is not very welcoming and do not make effort to assist you.
I went to ncix to install linux centos 7 on a custom dual xeon workstation that had a malfunctioning video card. Yaseen the tech working there, was very diligent testing the video card and helped me changing it for a new quadro plus installing a working centos OS, I am very happy with the overall customer experience.
I will make sure all my friends know not to buy anything from your stores. Better shop at Walmart or Costco. They will always take care of you.
Great selection and service
As a freelance filmmaker and mograph/vfx artist, I am constantly running into time critical technical constraints and job blockers. 9 times out of 10, the wide variety of high-end components this location keeps in stock will immediately solve all my problems, and the incredibly knowledgeable staff is always able to consult and inform me of all the possibilities that I would normally be oblivious of. Lance and Heewon are standouts in an already amazing crew, and get my personal recommendation. 5/5.
I've never had a bad experience at this store. As someone who depends on having a high powered machine for heavy, high quality rendering, this Canada Computers is my go to parts shop and PC repair store. The service is always great, but more importantly the knowledge and understanding of the tech is on point. The staff here is always able to answer any questions I have, and give me multiple solutions to any problems I'm having with the best dollar value in mind. I never leave the store unsatisfied and I have never feel tricked into buying more than what was necessary. This is something I find happens more and more at other stores so it really makes Canada Computers stand out.
Staff is friendly and service is great.
Good products but I swear everytime I go the workers follow me around like Im shop lifting and it feels uncomfortable in a store that already has 500 security cameras. One day I watched as a group of workers started wiping down already clean shelves just to watch me and every time I went into a different isle they followed me pretending to wipe already clean things and lie to me about watching me feeling like an insult to my intelligence. I have social anxiety issues and staying within close proximity of my after I clearly stated my discomfort multipul times they still stuck near me. I also asked for a method of connecting my phone to a tv and they couldnt come up with any ideas unless it was a specific product. I ended up buying the adapters that would have fit together to accomplish the task myself after consumer more time then wished finding the parts myself. I have many friends that have the same complaints. Im just saying I wish they were more creative in their solutions if there isnt an exact product but be able to suggest a series of other available in store parts that can still get the job done. One visit I started asking questions using comouter hardware terms and the guy literally said he didnt understand the part lingo which immediately made me wonder what made him certified to give computer hardware advice.
Most convenient computer store in Burnaby
I have to say things have really changed for the better with this store. The manager ( I believe ) is great, she helped me build my newest system and made some great recommendations. We also recently built a machine for a church, there were some issues with that one and they stepped up To the plate and took care of business! Worth upgrading to a four star! Keep up the good work guys!
Ask for DAN or ZANE!! I been going to this location for years compared to other competitors and Dan & Zane are extremely friendly and helpful people. Only reason I bought 4 PC’s from there is because of these two great men. Dan & Zane helped me with many PC issues that are silly and helped me understand them by not making me look stupid when I asked a silly question (other competitors would roll their eyes when you encounter a silly issue and charge you).
Has everything you need
Knowledgeable staff, excellent selection of products
Terrible customer service, bad management, very rude and disrespectful, misleading salesmen, overpriced better off with amazon, newegg, or bestbuy. Poorly handled products most boxes dented, manager and some employees not wearing masks and diregarding COVID 19 safety regulations. Really bad return policy. I bought something based on their recommendation. It doesn't work. They only do exchanges, NO REFUNDS. Super outdated and lame policy compared to all of their competitors. Wouldn't have been a problem to return anywhere else. Don't bother buying from here unless you wanna get stuck with things that dont work.
Never had an issue here, great friendly knowledgable staff. Rick is a good guy.
Excellent service and great selection of products!
Counterfeit memory card products and horrible customer service. Purchased a 128 GB SP memory card that was on promo with an instant rebate 2 months ago exactly. I had not really used it but had installed it in my computer's SD card slot to use for extra storage. It just stopped working after I did a huge data dump of image files I was going to be transferring from my laptop to DVD and wanted to sort them first. It died a miserable death and was unrecoverable by any of the various recovery software I tried and my OS would not even allow me to format the drive. I found a software that scanned the device and found that it was counterfeit memory from China and not really 128 GB but in fact was an 8 GB card. I called and they said bring it back to the store with the receipt. I did not have the receipt but had my credit card statement that clearly showed I purchased it there and on the date. I returned to customer service with both in hand and was accused of damaging the memory card several times by the technician and customer service person that were assisting. I have never had worse customer service in my entire life nor have I been accused of damaging something and return it. These people are sketchy at best and their product, I would say, are of questionable origin. This is the 3rd time this has happened to me there where a product purchased fails and they would not help me nor give any assistance or resolution. As they say, 3 strikes and you're out. I will never buy from them again, regardless of the price, value, or alleged quality of the product they are trying to peddle. My suggestion is to look elsewhere. You'll be better off buying from eBay and throwing the dice or spending the extra $1 and going to a major retailer to be sure of product quality and have a name that will stand behind what they sell.
A huge selection of stuff. Really friendly staff.
Great staff, great selection and prices that usually beat anyone else online. Also nice that you can still order curbside pickup, even with the store closed due to COVID. Minor hiccup with their POS register crashing during my sons purchase but it was more funny than annoying.
If it's your first time building a pc I suggest taking a drive and buying the parts here because they have everything you need so you dont have to worry about high shipping fees and possible damaged parts
Been going to Canada Computers for a long time! I hear mixed reviews about the service. I am a tech savvy person myself, so I don't have any questions I need to ask, so I cannot speak on behalf of that. However, if I needed to make a few returns in the past, and I never had any issues. Great prices, variety of products, good location, even online shipping is good. I would just improve their website if I was them! Aside from that keep it up!
Lady at the front desk you helped me was very nice! As soon as I walked in she asked if I needed help and got my online order ready right away. Thank you!
***BEWARE OF GUY WHO HAS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK with glasses***, I only had bad experiences and that's from a lanky guy with glasses that had a superiority complex and had some condescending undertones with our exchanges regarding my purchase. Not only that, when I asked where I could find it or if you can help me find it all he did was point in the direction and proceeded to walk away with his hands behind his back (superiority complex) you would think that someone who is in customer service industry would have you know customer service expertise. Ricky on the other hand was a great! He went out of his way and asked a few questions to narrow down what I needed, great customer service! Only reason for the 4 stars! Thank you
Solid place to purchase electronics. Very knowledgable and friendly staff. Reasonable prices as far as I can tell.
BAD SERVICE BEWARE This is by far the worst customer service I've experienced. The manager, John, is incompetent at his job. I wanted to exchange a product but I was told a different policy from the original location that I had purchased from. Keep in mind, I've had my keyboard for less than 5 days. I was misinformed of their return policy by the other location, fine, but after CONVINCING him to call the other location for me, he finally did, only for me to realize that he had called the wrong location. By the time we figured out his error, it was closing time. This could have been resolved so easily but his incompetence has cost me my TIME. Now I have to go all the way back across town to right this wrong another day. Maybe he just had a long day and wants to go home, but the passive aggressiveness throughout this entire encounter was not necessary. I feel like this problem could have been easily resolved and I could have left feeling a lot better than I actually did. TLDR; 1. As a customer, I shouldn't have to convince you to call another location, that should be something you OFFER. 2. Although he was able to recognize my problem and the inconsistency within the company, the manager was NOT HELPFUL at all. 3. 1 star for having another item I wanted to purchase available lol. Otherwise it would be a 0.
Small store
Pick up at store. Now able to go into the store. All staff very helpful. Able to get pieces and adapters to help upgrade equipment. Does help if you already have a knowledgeable background.
Much better place to shop for your computer needs. I stoped going to Best Buy since they opened. Prices are competitive
Great prices and amazing service. If you're in the market for anything technology, Canada Computers needs to be your first stop.
I had a great experience with this location. I ordered online and was able to pick up my order within 24 hours. Was messaged that my order was ready and was able to pick it up quickly and easily.
Always friendly and knowledgeable with plenty of folks ready to help.
Very great service, I was there to pick up a top of the line Msi Titan Gt80 and the employee Was very nice
Anthony was very helpful and professional. Highly recommend him!!
Don’t answer phone calls. Took way too long to just replace my fans
The best place for your QWERTY needs! I love this place and it's easy to get to the stuff you need for your everyday Computing needs????
Went here to get my pc fixed told me it would be done that day came in said they wouldn't be able to look at it until tm morning, they said"well give you call in the morning". No call till 3, so I call no answer call 30 mins later no answer another 30 mins no answer. I then get a call but I was out side with my dog and couldn't attend, I called back immediately not even a min after they called, no answer, wait 30 mins no answer another 30 mins no answer. At this time I'm super confused why tell me to call u back when u dont answer ur phone. Now the stores closed and tm's a holiday. Customer service is not existent.
Very nice and friendly people. I was surprised the price of fixing my son's laptop was very reasonable. Thks.
If i could leave 0 stars i would. I asked for a DSL modem of a certain model: smartrg 516ac. I was told it was no longer available, but that the smartrg 808 was available. I trusted the referral and purchased, only to discover at home that the smartrg 808 was NOTa DSL modem, it was a CABLE modem.I tried to return the $215 purchase and buy the type i needed,(2 hours later with receipt, all packaging), but STEPHEN declined to rerurn the item. He seemed to enjoy it. Extremely condescending and passive aggressive individual. Self grandiose inflated relevance. Further more, when i reluctantly conceded to buy ANY OTHER VDSL MODEM, other than TP Link(which wont work in my situation), i learned that they don't carry any other options! In other words: they knew i needed a DSL other than the only one they carried, recommended a CABLE instead, and then refused to return it when i realized. I dont and wont have kids. I spend my money on hobbies and computers. My current x570 build is well over $6000. I will never, EVER spend another cent at this company ANYWHERE for the rest of my life. And I will use all power of speech and persuasion to convince others the same, Because of my experience with STEPHEN. Small scope self important excuse for management. In the face of clear timestamped facts, it was more important to hit me with smirky one liners.
The sales staff helped me find exactly what I wanted and in little time I was on my way.
They have alot of selection. My experience wasn't exactly good. I asked for help on a network card and I could tell the guy was not interested in helping. I was asking for technical information and he just pointef and said those are our options, wouldn't even walk 3 shelves over. The individual I dealt with was defintely not knowledgable. Wanted to try speakers that were setup for demoing but none of it was working. Pricing is the same as best buy so I think I'll go there next time.
Great service, knowledgable staff, well stocked
I brought my PC on extremely short notice for some software/ diagnostic issues. I was greeted very happily by Mike who took my PC without any hesitation after a brief description of my issue. I previously called before the hand off and was quoted at approximately 3 days to have it completely set up. Mike had my PC out in less than an hour!!! Even gave me advice and tips on future upgrades and solve my problem faster than I ever expected! I'm new to PC's aswell. And with my lack of knowledge, Mike did not take advantage of it as I feared might happen. So Thank you for your extraordinary service and dedication Mike! You are an absolute God send!
Employees follow me around the store thinking I'm stealing as if I dont spend hundreds of dollars there monthly..
They have a wide variety electronics you can always find what you need
The person that my fiance asked didn't want to even bother to look for what he was asking for or check other locations to see if this company had what he was looking for in stock. Ended up going to a different store and actually getting some help.
Canada computers is great for all that tech stuff you can't find anywhere else. The staff is USUALLY pretty knowledge, but iv had times I go in knowing more than them and that kinda defeatsl the purpose of going in to find answers. Product selection also really good in store, but more available online.
Love love love this place! Super knowledgeable staff tons of parts and supplies at the right price! I wish you guys had an exterior door so you didn't have to be confined to the Fairview Mall hours which are not the greatest.
Recently (Aug. 5, 2019) I had the opportunity to visit the Queensway (Etobicoke) store location and my order was serviced by 'Mohammad'. In a day and age where customer service seems to be in short supply, Mohammad was a wonderful exception. The Gentleman was knowledge and personable in his responsibilities. As a professional in my own Industry it was a wonderful surprise to see that customer service is still very much alive in our City. Keep up the great work, Mohammad. Your a credit to your Industry and employer. Regards, Blair Atkins Blair Atkins Photography (Owner) Toronto, Ontario
Great employees that know their stuff. Great environment.
I love this location the guys are always friendly lol the location is also very clean and organized.
Went a few weeks ago to look at some pc parts, everyone was nice. When we had to pay though we couldn't pay cash. It's understandable with covid however, it was inconvenient.
Helpful staff. Great selection of parts and good prices. Substance not fluff. My new go to for computer parts
Great deals on all things computer hardware
Great deals friendly staff overall a good store
Canada Computers is a good place to buy whatever you need that is technology related. I would be giving this location 5 stars, but I will not be for a few reasons. 1. Some of the staff, not all, can be very short and unhelpful if you don’t know much about technology. Sometimes it can be hard to get help at all. Kudos to the manager for being so friendly, though. 2. The people who work the cash register can also be short and pretty ignorant and bland, they are almost never smiling and seem like they’re only there because they have to be. Nothing more, nothing less. 3. The service desk can be very slow if you have a computer built here, so I decided I would build mine at home next, which I did and obviously it was much faster. The person who builds the computers is only in usually every other day, which obviously is not efficient at all.
A great computer parts store. You will likely find anything you need or want for your computer and network, from a new hard drive or cable to a computer or router. Yes they even have cellphone accessories
I would like to recognize and highlight the assistant store manager Eddy for his excellent customer skills. He was able to address my concern by listening and identifying the immediate needs. I would like to give him 5 stars! Thank you!
Friendly and knowledgeable service and prices that compete with the big guys.
Great experience. Knew little about pc's while trying to build one. They helped me and the employees very helpful, knowledgable and explained amazingly. They didn't have the 3000 series GeForce graphics cards but it's not their fault. Going to pick my PC up next week and I'll see how it turned out.
Love this place. Great quality equipment at reasonable prices. Great helpful staff
The staff here really know their stuff, both on the sales side and also on the service side. Repairs are turned around quickly and accurately and prices are fair. Hands down the best place to go for computer service, sales or parts in the city.
I was so excited for this store but my experience ended up being extremely disappointing. I went to the counter where they keep the computer components and asked if they stocked a certain type of graphics card. For context, I'm a woman and I was with my boyfriend at the time. While he was standing next to me, he had nothing to do with my inquiry to the clerk. The man at the counter checked his computer (I could instantly tell he wasn't very friendly), and after a few seconds he walked back over to us and began to tell my BOYFRIEND but the part that *I* asked for. Seriously infuriating and downright sexist service. I work in customer service and my boss would fire us on the spot if we acted this way towards customers. Not to say all the employees there were bad, but enough were to spoil the experience for me.
Extremely helpful at helping me with computer parts!
Instant, knowledgeable, and friendly service for every time I've shopped here over the years. I reccomend it for both experienced and lesser experienced pc & media users alike.
Excellent customer service. Their sales do listen to your needs and willing to help. With their help my son finally got the part he wanted for a long time, which gave him a happy birthday. ????
A huge shoutout to Tristan, Barbara and Ethan. Honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable staff members from this location in Oakville. My multiple interactions with them made purchasing from canada computers worth my time again. Thank you for your awesome customer service!!
Best place in HRM to get computer parts locally without being price gouged
Great friendly staff. Very knowledgeable sales staff.
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff, made building a PC much easier
Friendly staff, nice layout of the store
Very helpful staff and great pricing. Definitely the place to go.
Great service!
** Update: Recently went in to upgrade some PC parts, the salesmen was very helpful with getting the stuff I needed and made sure everything was in working order before I was out the door. The cashier though didn't make eye contact once, …
Edit: Unfortunately I have to downgrade my original 5 star review to 3 stars. I had purchased a microphone that turned out to be blatantly defective. I was well aware that it was final sale unless there was something wrong with it. I …
Excellent customer service. I was greeted the minute I walked through the door and all the staff members were very helpful. The store itself is very clean and nicely organized.
Very knowledgable staff. Decent selection. Prices can be on the expensive side For the accessory items.Best to shop around especially for monitors can find cheaper at Best Buy
Girl behind the counter was very snide and rude
Great helpful staff, made the best of shopping during the pandemic
Fast and clean. Great covid protocol
Excellent service and very knowledgeable staff. Prices are typically higher than online but not by an outrageous amount, just your typical in-store markup. They do offer great deals on their website and will price match!
helpful staff went during this covid thing so its hard to browse the store because you feel rushed by the people waiting outside
Staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, kind. With a great selection and an online store you can get anything you would need for computers and computer gaming.
I don't normally leave a 3 star review. I asked about the new Nvidia Shield. The guy behind the counter said I think we've got a couple in. Didn't offer to check or give me any assistance and he wasn't busy working. Sorry guys terrible service
Helpful sellers!!
Great place. Prices seem to not often reflect what is on the website so if you are interested in an item check their website for the latest price.
Made an order online and had a very pleasant experience over the phone with Anthony. He went above and beyond in answering my questions, honouring a promotion, and finding an item that I inquired about - all options assessed. Highly recommend people look here for items that can run out of stock at larger stores.
Geeks rejoice! Love this place. Great prices, friendly service, great selection. Good return policy. I've never had any issues with my many purchases from NCIX.
Absolutely terrible experience. Purchased around 700$ worth of parts to build a new PC, encountered some difficulty regarding the power supply and where to plug the case fans in. Called another location who told me that I could come in to a Canada computers and they would help me out. Went in to Etobicoke and was essentially told to pay 50$ on top of the money I had already spent so a gentleman could unscrew 5 screws and plug the cords into the motherboard. Everything else was done. Absolutely terrible experience and service, will be taking my business elsewhere and returning these parts most likely.
Horrible experience I purchased a monitor from here and it dropped $100 in the next day and they refuse to honour that and to top it off the monitor doesn’t work right at all so I called to exchange it and they refused to honour the new company policy even tho other locations will. Will never shop at Canada computers again. I can see why Best Buy will always do better and hopefully Canada computers goes outta business soon
They have very helpful employees.
The employees working there have great knowlege of each and every product!
I am extremely disappointed in Canada computers right now. During this GPU shortage there are enough people take advantage of others by jacking up there prices. Today during my visit I saw that this location had several Gigabyte RTX 2060 supers cards. There's cards came out in July of 2019 making them over 3 years old. At there release these card had an MSRP of $419. The reason for my poor review is because they had these cards for sale at $699.99 putting this 3 year old card $280 over its MRSP. In my opinion this makes Canada computers no better then the scumbag scalpers on eBay,Facebook market place and Kijiji that all real PC enthusiast hate. I can’t see myself shopping here until they rectify there greediness.
I had a great customer experience and I'm very excited to receive my computer. Congratulations to Russell for being so friendly and helpful.
Freindly staff but not easy to find parking spot
Good service at the store, friendly staff. Ask for Jacob and he can help you out.
I purchased a laptop and came to pick it up. On my way out, I noticed that the box was open. I rushed to the customer service. The staff was surprised and stared checking in the system if this laptop had been sold to someone else. I asked for a closed box no matter what the status of the open box laptop was. That's when the staff person began to patronize me, treat me like I knew nothing, like I expected something that I didn't pay for while they were doing me a favour to replace the item. Unacceptable quality of customer service. Please look closely at the original package before paying.
Friendly and knowledgeable. Great prices. My go to for computer parts
Excellent a little on the pricey side but very good.
This place has a lot of great computer equipment but I think it needs to be a bigger shop? I'm not sure why but I had a hard time finding things there. Near the back of the store is a lot of things and the aisles feel a bit clostrophobic. That said, the people are super friendly and helpful.
Informed staff, very large inventory with wide range of prises to fit one's budget highly recommended
The guy that helped us was awesome. Very knowledgeable.
Brought my mom's computer in for repairs and was very pleased with the service I received. There was a backlog of computers in for repair so I had to leave the computer with them for a few days and pay a diagnostic fee. I received a phone call from them explaining what was causing the issue with the computer. They were able to fix it and I was only charged for the parts. My mom's computer is now at home and running perfectly again and she is happy which makes me happy. Thank you Canada Computers.
Best place for computer parts and general tech advice.
Extremely knowledgeable staff great selection.
Had to return items that were the wrong ones. They were extremely helpful in getting it returned.
Not a very useful location, generally a lack of customer service and stock is the norm.
Not such a big variety pf tech products but the staff is always willing to order from their website anything you might want!
Went in laptop shopping. The sales rep was very knowledgeable and helpful answering all my questions and presenting possible solutions to my needs. Ended up not buying anything but I will likely be coming back.
Great service
Very knowledgable. Helped me with sizing specific hardware to fit my case.
Good service and feel safe to shop
Large, reasonably priced selection. knowledgable friendly staff.
I’ve wanted this higher end webcam for awhile and was delighted to find it on sale at my local Canada Computers. Although it was slightly irritating to wait 36 hours to pick up my purchase, it was smooth sailing once I got to the store and the staff was very helpful answering questions I had about the product. Considering we are in lockdown I’m quite happy with the experience, and will return whenever their prices are as competitive as they were today.
Stay far away. The store makes up their own return policies as they go along. Stamp FINAL SALE on a computer even though the website and head office says 14 days. Store manager says "They can stamp anything on a bill". Talked to 3 different folks and all tell me once you open it its yours (no return unless defective); one even tells me she talked to the manager. When finally talk to manager he says no one talked to me; and our policy is yes you can return for a restocking fee. Too late already returned it and will not return. Will file BBB complaint (And yes wellington store has an F with the BBB) as well as with Consumer and Corporate affairs for misleading and deceptive advertising. Be careful buying here.
Great computer store, has everything you need. Recently had a few ryzen 9+ 3070GPU laptops I was able to secure. Always happy with their service, no sales person tactics here either.
Very friendly and helpful sales staff
Was just informed from one of the sales guys behind the counter that the Ryzen 3600 and 3600x were discontinued. Which is false. I asked support from AMD that told me shipments are being sent out to retailers now...
Horrible service After 4 attempts to talk to someone i finally got a response. i had an SSD i purchased fail, manufacture says its under warranty and i must go through the …
Best selection of parts, great prices and helpful staff. Nice points system too!
Great service, excellent stock
Good prices but unbelievably bad customer service. We had bought several components to assemble a computer and there was a bad component in the bunch. After 4 unsuccessful trips back to the store trying to resolve the issue I gave up and got a refund for everything. Staff was very uncooperative and turned what should have a quick and easy resolve into a dragged out and unnecessarily unpleasant experience.
Canada Computers is one of the best stores for computer parts around. They took over the space that was previously occupied by Tiger Direct. I have been shopping with Canada Computer for the last 15 years, competitive pricing, excellent selection, especially for joysticks, and racing wheels. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.
My "go-to" place for the latest computer hardware and electronics at very competitive prices.
Entertaining staff. Helpful too. Was looking for an item I saw online for sale and a sales rep lead me straight to the aisle and the item. Was very much appreciated. Helped me get what I needed. Quickly and head back to work.
They know their stuff. Always great service. Highly recommend going here for your computer.
they have a lot of stuff on display but do your research before going there
Always helpful and carry a great supply of electronics, computer supplies, and even household appliances!
Mike was awesome!!!!! He helped us with 2 computers this week, one new and one older computer that needed repair, very knowledgeable . He was extremely nice and helpful, especially to my mother, who has MS and needed to sit down. He made sure she had a chair while he explained everything. Reasonable prices for everything, including the warranty. Thank you Mike for making our visit to your store such a good experience! We will definitely be back????
I called in and asked "Danny" if refunds on a ram stick I was buying was refundable if opened. He said he would make an exception, but apparantly didnt clarify with his boss. Spent 50 minutes going there just to be disappointed. Never again.
I have bought numerous items here and had a great experience every time. The staff have extensive product knowledge compared to the big box stores and can give you real answers about product specs.
Poor parts selection, my last part i bought from them (wi-fi adapter) lasted 2 months before it stopped working
Good store, employees know what they're doing. Shipping for special order items is really spotty though, ordered a motherboard on the 21st of June and as of the second of July it still hasn't arrived.
Customer service is terrible. They all act like they would rather be gaming.
Very helpful in building a custom computer
Despite covid-19... The store staff is doing a really good job. They couldn't completely fix my problem, but the manager was right there to assure me that I wouldn't fall through the cracks. Don't count on their head office to help you out. Go to a store. It's the only way you'll get any assistance.
I drove for 40 minutes to this location from work arriving at 530. Approached a representative and told him I wanted to buy a laptop. I new exactly the one I wanted, so there was no need to browse. Rep told me he was in the middle of helping another customer. So I waited for 45 mins. At 615 I was told to come back on Monday because they had to close up in 15 minutes which wouldn't leave them time to process my order. I was ready to pay ~$2000 on the spot for the laptop I waited for and wanted. Take your business elsewhere just to avoid being treated like garbage.
I wouldn't recommend ordering anything online from these people. I was wait listed on a product for over 40 days, and I still haven't received a refund 15 days after cancelation. The customer service is non existent, and when they do answer the phone or an email, they are no help at all.
Fantastic staff, helpful and able to put things into English for non tech customers. All the staff here are great and always willing to help. I buy from here even though I get wholesale prices because their prices are the same or better most of the time and they usually have what I need without having to wait. Faster than amazon or newegg with better return policies.
I usually come here to get electronics that other retailers don't carry or sometimes the prices are cheaper compared to other retailers.
Great staff, good price, no waiting and the website gives you a chance to shop before you get there
Sam and Grant were impeccable. They were smart, patient, determined and helpful. These guys diagnosed the problem with my laptop and fixed it in minute. I definitely recommend these two guys and this location. I wish I could put 6 stars. Thanks again to Sam and Grant. Much appreciated.
I'm officially done with this location. The ENTIRE management team are the rudest, unhelpful and just straight up mean people and seem to hate their job. Please take the extra drive to downtown, midtown or mississauga location if you can and least deal with some nicer people. 0 stars if i could.
Great service, friendly staff, decent and competitive prices,
The some of the staff is very helpful, others not so much, but the store had what I needed even if it took 35 mins to find the part I needed
This Canada Computers is quite safe during Covid-19 pandemic the staff were outgoing and helpful, but Memory express does it better on W Broadway
Came in here for a usb cable during the pandemic, which I needed urgently for work. Was told to place an online order as I got to the store. That was fine; however, upon placing the order I came back and was told it would take 30-60 minutes to fulfill. There were about 2-3 staff standing around staring at me. After about 15 minutes the order came in from the head office and the manager, sarcastically, shouted out my name, the order and said it was urgent. I understand that things are difficult during the pandemic but the staff were rude and treated me as if my requests were crazy and inconveniencing them. I will definitely be taking my business elsewhere in the future. I've purchased and built several computers from CC and they were great but based on how I was treated today, I don't think I'll ever go back to this location. 2 stars because I got the cable in the end.
Pretty unimpressed with this particular location after several visits. - not about the repair and service guys, they’re always fantastic Girl at the register told me she wasn’t “qualified” to run payment on an SSD that was DIRECTLY behind her (1-2feet), she made me wait for about 10-15 minutes for a “sales men” who literally picked the SSD up and handed it to her to run payment. I didn’t realize there was government regulation of solid state computer drives and required a trained person to do the initial picking up of the drive. Don’t really understand why my time was wasted for that, all while there was noone else waiting to pay On a second instance, I had forgotten a mask(my fault although free ones were available). The employee declined me a free mask as he “gave me one a few days ago”. On that trip I spent roughly $900. On my return trip I intended to spend an additional $700 but had to resort to much a friendlier computer part supplier, Amazon.ca as the Canada computers clearly did not value my dollar.
Beware of their price match, I was told when they opened in Halifax that they would gladly price match with Newegg.ca Went in today and the Manager took it personal got very uncomfortable and salty, they chose the fastest shipping method from Newegg which is the most expensive when "free shipping" is clearly stated on newegg.ca to add to your price match so in effect they do not actually price match fairly. Off to newegg.ca for a better price and free shipping. Kinda sad because I was excited for a new store in Halifax it did not take them long to disappoint.
Love this store the best Canadian computer store hands down. The store is amazing very well stocked and if you have to order online items ship fast. Great customer service.
I had a great experience with the team at Canada Computers in St. Catharines! My main desktop PC died on me early this week and they helped me diagnose the issue and purchase the right components to get me back up and running. Awesome level of service from friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Russell Vo helped me a TON in figuring out/building a new custom PC. the process took a long time due to delayed video card availability, but he was willing to continue working with me for weeks to create the right package. 5/5
Not too bad . Good to deal with
Great selection of computer components and accessories. The staff are very helpful, efficient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Good deals are offered quite often. Before you spend your money at Amazon, check these guys out and keep it local. The website is great as well. Free parking behind the store.
I am not one to complain very often, if at all. But I am not very impressed with the service and the fact that they should have a sign up for construction going on in the store, so when you walk in to there store, there are guys working …
Friendly, knowledgeable, no pressure. I said we were just looking at this point and was still treated perfectly without being dismissed as a waste of time - was refreshing in a tech sales environment!!
Great selection, simple layout to the store, they have everything you need for computer building and repair.
The amount of available products to browse in store was disappointing - looked almost like they were going out of business. However the guy that helped us was very friendly and accommodating.
Knowledgeable and helpful staff. They answered all my questions in quick and concise manner. Highly recommended.
If you're planning on building a pc, server, or home network this is the place to be. They have a great selection in store and competitive prices when comparing against best buy and Amazon. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly helping you when you need it but never being to pushy for a sale.
Low prices on new electronics. The show room is spartan, so if you're looking for something specific, check the website
Bought all my components to build my first gaming PC from here, It was awesome to see all the components in person rather than ordering them online. Staff was nice at the counter but was more concerned about selling me a warranty than answering my questions. Luckily i did a lot of research on the components i wanted. Also it seems like the staff is afraid to leave behind the counter and come ask if you'd like a hand finding something, if you do see someone its like there sprinting to the back room for a break. Price matched a GPU and they tried everything they could to NOT honor there own price matching procedure and guidelines that are online. Finally a manager approved after about 15 mins of staff members trying to come up with an answer. The price match isn't a true price match because they add on the cost of fastest shipping available to the lower price. Lucky for me it was only $9.99 so i still saved some money but i can imagine some things you wouldn't save any money at all. Good store but better customer service would make it a great store.
I went to this Canada Computers Burnaby location today for a Display Port Cable for my business. The store was well laid out, I found what I needed in a couple of minutes, and the staff were helpful and had me on my way in no time. Pricing was good too. I will be back and recommend this location.
Brought my computer in for a quote at the now-closed Richmond and Oxford branch and was told it'll cost around $150 to repair the ac/dc outlet of my computer which I did and it turned out that it wasn't working after all that money. I went back to them and was told to pay another amount of money for the repair.
This is by far the kindest Canada Computers I've ever been to. The staff is great, over the phone & in person. Take notes guys, customer service is everything and this London location set a standard that should be followed at all CC locations. I was helped by out by whoever was nearest to me, for a PC that I put on hold over the phone. Which was actually put on hold for me! Unlike another store! Looked for monitors, unfortunately, nothing in stock I was looking for but we went over all the details and tried to find something that worked. We even found an exact headset for my girlfriend that was EXACTLY what she was looking for?! 5/5 Customer Service Thank you to the 3 gentleman helping me out after an hour drive to a location out of my way and even staying a bit after bell to make sure I was settled. Thank you to the young woman who helped me find the PC I was looking for and put my item on hold! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! Hope to see you guys again soon for those monitors
It's a smaller store but they're still packed to help you with your electronics needs.
Friendly and helpful service with staff you can find.
Great place to buy computer parts and equipment. Knowledgeable.
Took 10+ mins to complete an online reservation purchase after I was told it was ready. Waiting in a line is not something I want to do in a pandemic.
Fair prices and always a good selection of parts. Saves the waiting time of buying online.
Their price match policy is a little silly, tacking on the shipping cost even if the item has free shipping, but the customer service is always incredible, knowledgeable, helpful and not trying to rip you off. Also a really good selection of products, from gaming to entry level enterprise.
This has been my go-to computer store for nearly 20 years. A great selection of parts and reasonable prices. Be prepared to wait in line during covid times but that's just the way things are right now. They're doing their best to stay open and maintain a high level of customer service.
Bought two 24" computer monitors for gaming to put side by side; same model. I found out the screen colour are different. They couldn't find out the problem and refused to do refund or exchange.
Great!
Good Local Canada Computers. Nice Central Location and Helpful Staff. Not as big as the Giant Stores in the GTA though. Excellent Deals on Boxing day but the opened late. Oh well people got what they wanted AFAIK.
Excellent service, helpful and took the time to find the item I was looking for.
Great service. Great prices. Lots of shiny stuff :-)
I'm shocked and only negative emotions ????,staff probably came from some farm ???? or some country side ????, they don't have an idea how properly to talk with customer which is feeding them in general. Unprofessional cashier and customer service....If you want to get it good deals take a look online first or other location.
Fabulous service, covered what we needed very well
have always had good experiences here as iv been building computers for years. just know what you're getting into before you even attempt to DIY
We will NEVER SHOP AT Canada Computers & Electronics again!! Our son had been saving up to buy a new gaming monitor and with his birthday money he purchased it. We picked it up and brought it home. We gently removed from the box and set it on the stand. We plugged it in before taking it down to his desk so we could see it work and it lit up with these weird lights across it - clearly something was wrong with the screen. We immediately called the store and were told to bring it back for an exchange. We packed it back up and brought it to the store where the store manager, Curtis, told us that he would do nothing for us because the damage/defect was our fault. Our son is out all his money, $367, because this company refuses to stand behind it's products. We are beyond furious and so upset for our son. If you look at the Google Reviews this is not the first time the company has done this.
I'm not sure where are all these friendly staff review came from. From what I've experienced they seems to hate the job. Is like "omg another customer, pls get out" that kinda look on their face. They even throw the stuff I'm paying for on the table. like wth does that ? I don't mind the looks on your face but please at least be gentle to our stuff. Once again we are the one who is paying for!!
I was only 7 dollars short of a purchase at the store and the manager said don't worry about it and I got the product. Great customer service.
Clean and good
Pretty much the only place in London that doesn't completely rip you off. Decent deals and knowledgable staff. Not the best out there but definitely better than the other options around the city for your computer needs.
Staff very helpful. On shelf stock selection very limited. Weird to actually see the impact that semiconductor shortage is having on these types of stores.
Nice competition for Best buy. Very good service. Lots of gadgets.
I’ve been to this store probably 50 times to get my computer parts and get I’ve had only 1 good experience here. Terrible customer service all around, especially on Boxing Day. Who ends their Boxing Day sales before Boxing Day? Made bundles that aren’t even compatible with each other? Wont honour a sale that ended 9 hours ago? Wont price match with a store I price matched with last week at this location? I shouldn’t have to ask for service when 99% of the employees are just standing around, I might as well cash myself out.
Great shop with very helpful staff who are always able to answer even the hardest questions. Good prices with a wide range to choose from.
A solid place to get you tech fix! Friendly, chill staff.
Amazing service! I've been looking for a PS5 everywhere and it has been incredibly difficult. Thankfully, Canada Computers offered me the option to back order a PS5. About 4 days later, they called me to say the PS5 was in-stock and ready to be picked up, everything went very smooth. Every one from the staff that talked to me was very polite and attentive. I'll certainly be buying more stuff in there in the future. Thanks
Great customer service, a few very personable employees that always try their best to find exactly what components suit you best. …
Definitely my preferred choice for parts and accessories
Good deals on computer parts
Fair prices and a good selection of electronic items.
They went out of the way to make our purchase special
More knowledgeable than best buy. If you want electronics, this is the place to go. Never been to a bad location, and this is no exception.
Great place, fair pricing. Willing to help without pushing sales. I'll be a returning customer
Was told I can return graphics card within 14 days but when I returned it they said could only exchange or give in store credit.
Is this a Canada computers thing? They never pick up the phone doesn’t matter what time of the day nor which day in the week you call
Cannot complain. They got me what i asked for and helpes me when i needed help.
I just had a most pleasant experience with Canada Computers. I got to talk to a man named John and he was very helpful. He was pleasant, courteous, and very knowledgeable. You'll get all the help you need at Canada Computers. Give the store a try. You will not be disappointed!
Best place in London to buy computer equipment. I have built over 15 PC's here and I've always been happy.
nice to talk to the employees...products seems pricey though.
Great place for all of your PC components and peripheral needs. I always buy my parts from here as they are competitive with Newegg. If I don't have her time to install something in my computer I cam bring my rig and they will install it same day while I'm out running errands in the area. Great location and very knowledgeable staff on all things computers. If you're looking for guidance on your next build, be sure to come here and get help! They can aid you with just about anything PC related. Floor associates are also very honest about products and my needs as a consumer based on my budget and quality of items I need.
Usually have a good experience here except when I went for an ssd mounting bracket. Guy says "We have some but not what your looking for" and just cringes at me instead of helping me find what I AM looking for. Did not feel welcome and quietly left. Not sure I'll come here again if the staff will just cringe at anyone who doesn't know exactly what they want or need.
Staff were helpful, prices seemed generally good. Selection was also pretty good. I'd go back.
Great staff that day. She Sabrina was really helpful to me and my mother. Great CSR.
Do not visit this location. Worst customer service. I wanted to return one unopened item but they refused to do that. Their return policy very bad, unrealistic. They like to take back only defective item, if you open any item & not defective they will not help you. Oh defective item only for exchange NOT for refund. Unbelievable !!
The store is clean, laid out while. You can find what you need for wifi, building your own computer, peripheral devices and tablets and Mobile phones. Definitely cheaper than amazon, best buy, the source and others. Staff are nice and helpful.
Helped us pick out a good android box, it ended up being defective which was a downer but when I brought it back they assured me they had very issues with that model and happily refunded me where I bought the same model again. We have had no problems since with it. They do have a 10% restocking fee if you just try to bring something back that you don't like. If it is defective there is no restocking fee.
Always a pleasure to work with these guys. I do a lot of builds for customers and the Burnaby location team has never let me down!
Great selection of computer parts, whole computers and associated electronic gadgets at reasonable prices, with helpful staff.
Bought a monitor and didn’t quite like it. Had very visible picture drag of fast objects. They wouldn’t let me exchange for better one and I would pay the difference. Was only bought 2 days prior. Their Final sale is a terrible business plan. Next time mention that to the customer btw. Won’t be back as I’m out 700 for something that I don’t like.
I've been shopping at CC since at least 2000 when they had a 10x10ft store at Pacific Mall, glad they finally made it to Oshawa, decent prices and great selection.
The guy there were very knowledgeable and very helpful. And more patient then I usually see even with my constant questions on my computer build. I will defiantly be a repeat costumer
Needed RAM, they didn't honour their own price matching policy. I wouldn't recommend anyone shop at Canada Computers.
Not really many issues with the pickup process. When you arrive, text your order number to the number on the sign and wait for order to be ready. Process was smooth and relatively quick. Rated two stars because their online ordering is terrible. Can't pay for items online, so must pay on pickup. Can't order some parts online, in store only? Just seems like this tech store is a tad behind the times for such a large company.
Great place for computer parts or full systems. I'd rate a 5 if it wasn't for their bad price matching and return policies.
I was overall satisifed with the staff and store. The staff weren't overly helpful in making the right choice of media player and I ended up having to return it because it wasn't compatible with the Netflix app!?! That shouldn't be a thing these days! I did however receive good service in purchasing the TV mount bracket and the two mini entertainment keyboard/touchpad combos to complete my two setups.
Brought a keyboard there at very reasonable price. I think they carry some brands which you can’t find it at Best Buy for an affordable price.
Good support and good products.
My go to place close to home. Majority of the staff is friendly and helpful. My go to is Enzo, he takes time to show products and offer his insights. He has helped with numerous purchases and is also really realistic. Not everything has to …
Absolutely terrible experience with Canada Computers on Broadway. I HIGHLY recommend shopping elsewhere (Bestbuy, Newegg etc). I tried returning a motherboard that was purchased within the 15 day return policy and had SPECIFICALLY asked Bronson, the sales associate, if I could return the product if it had not been used. He said it would be NO PROBLEM at all at the time. When I had returned to refund/exchange the product, he tried to convince me (in a very condescending way) that he had told me that I had since I had removed the tiny piece of scotch tape that 'sealed' the bag that the motherboard was in, that there is absolutely NO WAY that they would refund, exchange or even consider discounting the product. I then politely asked to speak to a supervisor or store manager multiple times, but Bronson insisted it was a waste of time and came back from the back of the store without the manager each time. Another customer had showed up soon after to refund his motherboard and had no issues with returning it although he had opened his product. All I wanted was to get some clarification from a manager around the store policy and have a chance to explain to them that I was told something different from what I was experiencing at the return counter. I have purchased parts from them before and was in the store to purchase more products that would easily exceed the value of the motherboard itself. It was clear that Bronson and his 'supervisor' didn't get the difference between a $250 one-time return vs the potential lifetime value of a long-term customer. This was a problem that could have easily been solved with a little logic and reasoning, but was instead faced with incredibly stubborn and blatantly rude customer service from an incompetent low-level sales associate. A 1-star review is being generous, I will never shop there again.
The staff were nice if you could actually get one to acknowledge you. But when they didn't have what I was looking for they told me they could order it in. I bought something that would do the job while I waited for the thing I really wanted to come in. They told me if they recieved it within 2 weeks I could return what I initially bought and just buy the new item. I assumed they didn't call me within 2 weeks simply because they didn't want to have to take a return and make more money off me. But when they told me 3 MONTHS LATER to tell me my item was finally in but that I only had 24 hours to come pick it up or they'd cancel it was dumbfounded to me. I won't be going back that's for sure. It's not hard to find stores that sell parts for computers.. with so many competitors out there I would have expected better service from such a well known company.
Best prices I've found at a brick and mortar location for computer stuff.
Get advise for what you looking for and they have good stuff cheap The Canadian store ,they will give you more ditel you need to know before you buy
Terrible servie, terrible warranty policy, impossible to reach. Purchased a keyboard from them, it malfunctioned after three months. It took me 2 days of calling to reach anyone (5 total phone calls) DURING store hours. Insane! Then, turns out they don't offer any warranty on peripherals over 1 month - DO NOT BUY PERIPHERALS here. At worst, get a price match somewhere else. I'm now having to ship my keyboard when I should have been able to take it in for a replacement.
Knowledgable staff, great prices on computer components and accessories.
I brought my PC in to see their service desk because it suddenly stopped turning on and thank goodness that they got it working again. If that GPU had been dead, I was gonna be so sad. A GPU? In this market? No thank you. Thanks to Jordan at the service desk ????
Tried to order online and had an issue. Tried calling customer service it says "Due to the high volume of calls, we can not answer your call. We will direct you to our messaging system." ...click then it hangs up. Tried calling back got a busy signal. When you are growing too big and won't invest in proper infrastructure you are on a path for failure. I'd spend $20 bucks extra on Amazon thanks!
The only place I would go for computer parts. As many times as I can! Geeks will enjoy this place as will anyone that cant find ~computer related items
Large assortment of items related to gaming, computer parts, and electronics, and they also have very friendly staff! Definitely the first place I would visit if I'm ever looking to buy electronics/computer parts again.
Slow, poor service
Sanji was honestly so nice and kind, I know I'm not the most tech savvy but he answered all my questions and made it easy for me to understand all the components for my new p.c
Love this place, I can spend hours in here...
Place is always staffed appropriately, always knowledgeable, always polite. Always my first stop for anything PC related. Keep up the good work.
Prices are good, quite good selection. Also had a good experience with online purchase. But after I visited the place I have mixed feelings. Big space inside used in unoptimal way. Feels abandoned except small area where laptops are presented.
There's always someone there to help. The combined knowledge is great, and they do no pressure sales. My go to for lots of consumer electronics, cables and computers.
Worst purchase i ever made! Got a very expensive laptop, parts of my keyboard doesnt work and i am not from canada so i need to ship it back, they charged me extra 600$ that thry said will be and were extremely unprofessional. Plz for your own sake dont go there!
We got a 3080 for my new pc here. They're only selling one to each house hold and you need to set up an account. Its about the same price if not more as the Amazon pre orders. So very pricey but there is a lot of demand so this is to be expected. If you want a 3080 its best to call in to the store over buy online, better results!
Helpful staff, well-organized and good prices.
So don't buy from this company... Unreal that I can't exchange something I just bought.. I bought this adapter for my wife's laptop so she can set it up to a larger screen at home. I plugged it in and nothing happened... Took me a while then I noticed the small fray in the connection piece. So because the package it comes in is clear... The employees apparently check to see if any damage is already on the product before it leaves the store.. That doesn't happen. So they take absolutely no blame for any damage to the product and its all my fault. I don't care about the 35$.. It's the fact that we are all liars and we must of damaged the product. I think a company like yours could have a better policy when it comes to returns.. Unreal.. I'll never be back to this store at any location. Sad you run a business this way
Very helpful
Very helpful staff. Good prices.
Good deal. Open box monitor for $1100+.
Pretty good selection with a bit of everything, well known brands for build-your own PC and their own in-house prebuilts for reasonable prices. Frequent sales that bring prices down far enough to compete with online stores, and they do have …
Doesn't get any better than this if you're serious about tech.
Special price on my toner, but of course the only ones left in the store were on the top shelf. But before I even started my search for someone to help, I heard the tall ladder rolling up behind me. A staff member was really on the ball, and anticipated (based on my craned neck from looking up) my need. This is just one more example of how attentive I have always their staff to be.
brought my laptop just to change the screen that's all. after 4 days they called me and they said everything is fine working well and we will continue to fix it. Two weeks later???? they called me and said that is my motherboard is broken. So all I got from them it's just SORRY. don't bring your stuff there be aware
Knowledgeable and friendly salespeople who don't need to bully you to earn a comission. Actually suggested I spend less on an item.
The staff know their stuff. Helped me find exactly what I needed during the rush of Black Friday. A fair price and an enjoyable experience. Generally unimpressed with ordering Online with Canada Computers, but I will be visiting this store more often.
I love this store. This store has helped me on my way to what I have achieved. Had a minor set back when roommate smashed one of my two monitors. But I’ll be back to pick up another one soon. If they don’t have what you’re looking for. I’ve never had an issue with them ordering me my parts. They’re helpful and know just what you need.
Expansive
They are very sales oriented. They will greet you at the door and shadow you as you walk around. I went in to purchase a monitor and the staff member didn't seem to know much technical knowledge about the products. Often referencing the the tag for specs. When asking for his opinion on 2 models, he chose one because it had red monitor legs. They helped me carry the product to my car and overall, they do feel like they care about your needs.
Went in looking for help as I am new and don’t know anything. the customer service rep sold me a product that was not compatible with my system and it will not boot. Due to product being open they will exchange the product. Would advise you to order your products online as you can return them if they do not work.
helpful people, they're happy to help you find parts for a custom build and they are friendly
Decent stock, sucks that they phase out alot of stuff that's still slightly relevant like Firewire cable (who else should have it? this is why amazon is winning) and the staff is not knowledgeable. I recommend doing your research first, then checking stock and pulling up to purchase. Asking them anything will lead to you buying the wrong stuff.
Good selection good layout
Helpful staff, and has all the little pieces you need for your PC that the big box stores just don't have. Can get some good deals when things go on sale.
Good selection. Prices are good. Sales staff is a bit despondent.
Great price, value for money, you get everything you need for computers and all that.
Ncix is my computer ship of choice. They balance the interactive service well - letting me browse, but also answering questions and making recommendations as needed. Well lit and clean also
Staff seemed knowledgeable. I had asked the employee serving me a question regarding performance difference between two cards and another employee who was listening in very rapidly looked up the answer to my question. Pretty good prices, I don't believe employees are on commission here so they don't try to sell you more than you need. The markup on products compared to buying direct is minimal and the selection of product in store is usually pretty good. I've never gone to Canada computers and left without getting what I needed.
The customer service at the Waterloo store is by far the worst customer service I’ve ever received in my life. Bunch of university students that truly don’t care about helping customers. Highly recommend the drive to Cambridge to receive a way better experience from employees who are actually willing to assist you and your computer needs. Waterloo will not honour their protection plans, and they will give you a giant run around about it... Cambridge was more than willing to accommodate and replace on the spot (but didn’t not have the part and instantly ordered it in)
Get staff clean location. Ive been going there for 3 pc builds in the past year and they always been able to help and recommend other parts.
The people are quite knowledgeable and they have most of things which I have been looking for.
Dude you want to build a PC they got you covered everything for the tech person and not tech person :) they carry a lot of stuff not only computer parts and accessories but a variety of other electronics and gadgets, check them out.
Great computer prices are good
Ordered online and picked up in store. Quick and easy, plus employees were all very friendly.
Not too crowded but staff was very helpful. Very nice and orderly display of merchandise. Price is comparable to other stores carrying same brands.
I would stay away form them. Their return policy is awful. Stick with Best buy.
You would think with everything going on right now that the employees would try to provide a comfortable experience for their customers. After waiting in line for over 20 minutes I was told that they didn’t have the item I requested, with the lady working refusing to go back in the store to confirm they didn’t have the item I wanted (she showed me the wrong item through the glass). I checked the day after online and once again was met with resistance even though I had preordered an item (knowing exactly what I wanted) and after another long wait, the gentleman behind me was let into the store only because “he wasn’t browsing and knew what he wanted”???????
Don't buy Christmas gifts from here, bought a mouse but didn't grab the correct one then I tried exchanging it 3 days later but they wouldn't take it back, the manager suggested I sell it on kijiji to get my money back. On their website it says you are allowed to return such items within 30 days - the staff showed me another policy where it says you cant return unless defective. Terrible store policy I would just get off Amazon to save yourself the trouble. Amazon sells basically all the PC components now, so a place like this is completely useless if that is how they conduct themselves. Unprofessional staff.
Good stock and decent prices.
Great staff. Nice store .
The customer service is terrible i have been waiting for days now after placing my order and it still hasn’t made it out of the pending stage. Which means they haven’t even looked at my order yet.
Avoid at all cost. Customer service is horrendous, no one ever picks up the phone. I ordered a cpu & 3080 from them. Was told CPU was going to be max 2 weeks. 2 months later still nothing. Not to mention the 3080 order was "canceled" for absolutely no reason. Turns out the Assistant manager is scalping the cards and stealing them from their own customers. With that being said Canada computers is a great company, but this location is a bad apple. Go to any other location besides this one.
Bought a computer from them last year. Best prices where found here when I compared them to other local computer stores. The computer was their built in house brand and so far it was worked flawlessly. Will buy again and recommend others.
Absolutely horrible staff, heard a new Canada Computers opened up at the Fairview Mall so went there with a couple of my friends yesterday. I was playing on one of the computers and being 6'4 as i was adjusting the way i was sitting i hit my knee on the table. One of the employees im guessing the manager completly lost it and started yelling and told me to get out of the store. Just because i was with my friends she thought we were messing around, didn't listen to anything I had to say just constantly kept yelling and telling me to get out. Completely ridiculous and worst staff ive ever seen. Dont go to this location, order online or make the trip to Toronto instead if you really have to go in store.
Great experience at canada computers today on black friday. The staff was very helpful through the heavy process and below temperatures. Ricky and his manager Sean made the whole event swift and entertaining. Will come back again on boxing day for more great deals
The man who opened the front initially said he was at full capacity and we would need to wait in the line which was perfectly reasonable and we agreed. He then continued to ask why we were there and we told him we were there to see the selection of headphones. He became very aggressive and refused service unless we could give him the exact model and brand of headphones we wanted to purchase. When we explained we were there to see the selection before we made a purchase he continued to refuse to let us wait in line to enter. With such aggressive and hostile service I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Use amazon or newegg instead.
Horrible customer service, the employees don't even want to test out the products that are defective I called and asked whether I needed only the CPU or my whole build they said the CPU only is fine. When I got there the person has no clue what he is talking about I told him that the CPU is the problem even my motherboards troubleshooting LED's say its the CPU but he proceeds to say that its my motherboard that's bad WITHOUT EVEN TESTING OUT THE CPU and would not even test it. The Vaughn location is so much better overall they tested out the CPU and didn't even need my whole build and it turns out the CPU was the problem the whole time and they actually exchanged it for me I could safely say I am never going to this location again.
The staff here was friendly as well as helpful. The store includes a wide range of electronics primarily focused on computers and components relating to that, but also includes items such as TV's and microwaves. The interior setup is basic but serves the purpose well and has a few features like stations to tangibly test products such as mice, keyboards and laptops as well as PC gaming setups.
Bought a computer there in January. Needed Office 365 as well. Specifically asked about the outlook express with this software. Trusted the sales person. They sold me the software without the email. Called the store to explain the situation. Was told the manager would call me back but that didn't happen. Had to purchase it again elsewhere. Computer started to act up less than six months later. Beware their warranty is only good for 30 days even on a new computer. They would have fixed it as if it was purchased elsewhere. Not impressed at all with their customer service either at purchase or after care. Would never recommend Canada Computers.
They are almost always out of stock. You dont go to the store to browse. Order online pick up in store and you're done.
Could be better. For people who are suppose to be experts on electronics. I go in there hoping for help but instead know more them the associate myself.
I spend too much here but there prices are great amd staff are excellent.
Horrible staff and management. Went in with something I had gotten 5 weeks ago and is now not working. I was told too bad. First rep wouldn't look me in the eye and mumbled "receipt" I had to ask him to repeat himself twice before he finally spoke up but it was clearly a chore for him. Avoid this place. They do not care about the customer.
I shop here quite a bit and usually never has an issue until today. Now I understand everything that is going on but I personally do not like the "personal shopper so you don't touch anything" that they have going on right now. I went to get a cheap computer to start work from home for a friend and I knew essentially what I needed, but the sales person didn't seem to know much about the computers at all. and even after I told him that I have built these computers before and the very model that he was showingme, he continued to act as if I did not know what I was looking for. This location definitely needs more people trained on what they sell and try not to oversell me.
I just want to say sorry to the guy who was working close at the counter to the left on mon, march 15 2021. Im sorry I didn't know how to open the sliding door, I didn't mean to aggravate you ;-;. Thank you to Allan for being super helpful during my transaction and opening the door for me while I was carrying my new pc case. He helped my sister when we came to pick up her pre-built pc and he was super nice!!
All the locations I have visited have had great helpful and friendly staff
Amazing service! Went in for a new GPU and Mike was a huge help and stopped me from making a rookie mistake! Cannot stress how helpful he was.
Excellent staff. They're all very knowledgeable and accommodating. They can get busy at times because of how knowledgeable they are. They have a plethora of items for sale. They'll probably have what you're looking for. The prices are very competitive and the products are nicely organized. Large store with a good variety.
Professional, concise, easy to deal with.
We bought a computer from this location and we have had nothing but issues with it. We have brought it in to get fixed for the same issues alone 3 times and still to this day we are having the same issues because they have not changed or fixed anything. After leaving the computer turned off over night (minimum 4 hours) with everything still plugged in it will not turn on in the morning. In order to get the computer to turn on you have to unplug everything and plug it back in. The Tech has always said that he has never been able to recreate the issues. That is a lie because one of the employees told us he could one time and the Tech took apart the computer only to put some paste or glue on the inside or something. If The Tech is unable to recreate the issue any other time that is because he cannot follow simple instructions. We tell everyone every time we go in how to recreate the issue but the tech cannot seem to remember this. He turns it on and off every hour and after I tell him to leave it off and plugged in over night he says '"I'll do that, I'll leave it on all night." The Tech told us that we should just leave the computer on all the time...we shouldn't have to and shouldn't have this issue. We told a manager our issue and he just laughed at us and said the power supply would be changed and the computer returned at the end of the day. They kept the computer that time fore 4 days and didn't change a thing. We were told by 2 people we could have the computer sent away but then when we brought it in to have it sent away they said we couldn't. DO NOT use this store if you want good customer service, repair, or a product that works!!
Haven't built or upgraded since 2012. Needed new CPU, MOBO, CPU cooler and RAM. Got everything I needed here at competitive prices to Amazon and Newegg.ca. I am a prime member and premier member but with Canada Computers being a physical store with friendly staff...it's something this municipality sorely needed. W continue to do business here until proven otherwise. Just stay vigilant with your pricing!
Service can be rude/abrupt but got a good deal on RAM
Staff was great, very knowledgeable and helpful! No complaints anytime I go there
I don’t know how Canada Computers managed a > 4/5 star rating on Google, when everywhere else they’re rated so comically low. I had a horrible experience with CC over 10 years ago, but decided to let bygones be bygones when they had stock of a laptop that i was looking for. You know, given how everything is so back-ordered everywhere. Long story short. Drove down to London CC on Friday early afternoon. Supposedly the Mississauga store had 2 of the laptop that i was looking for. One new, one refurbished. I asked the London store guys to call the other store to confirm stock of a new one and to set it aside/do transfer work on the system. I paid in full and left the store satisfied that I’d covered my bases and that I’d get my laptop the following week. Nope. Called the following Monday (3 days later). Someone in Mississauga store sold my laptop on the Saturday (one day later) to someone else. I talked to the manager at London store. He explained that there’s a delay between when the order is submitted and when it’s actually transferred. Tbh, i don’t care— fix your system or process . That’s a shoddy system that will lead to inevitable customer dissatisfaction. So, after my awful encounter with the Waterloo CC about ten years ago. And this last encounter in London. I’m back to steering clear of Canada Computers. I’d like to support local, but not like this. Unfortunately for local stores, i placed an order with Amazon immediately after canceling my order with CC.
Used to buy everything from them, but it seems they are on their way out due to poor ownership. I would spend your money elsewhere.
They are selling second hand graphics card as new. I ordered one Rx 580 from website and drove 100km to pickup but they brought out an opened, secondhand card. I was so disappointed. The manager told me No discount No addition warranty No anything, so I have no choice but leave with anger. I don’t know how come a such big company like CC can do this.
Parking is always an issue but otherwise great.
Good price. Nice staff.
Great spot for computer related purchases. Online store helps and pick ups are super easy.
Fantastic computer store, every staff member I have ever encountered Is extremely courteous and polite. This store has provided wonderful service throughout the pandemic. Tristan and James have helped me on numerous occasions. I’m grateful that this location has opened in Oakville, I don’t have to get ripped off by scalpers on amazon, or deal with people who don’t know what they’re talking about at best buy. If you’re into custom computers, or want your computer fixed by professionals, this is the place for you.
Decent place well stock and knowledgeable staff
Much selection, very advanced. 10/10 would recommend since it's the only computer parts store there. I suggest hiring taller cashiers though. Bless up. ???????????? ????✌????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The staff was incredibly helpful. Great customer service.
My favourite computer store for all things related to gaming builds and accessories. Great selection of gaming mice, keyboards and cases. Do your case selection on-line first as most cases are still in the box and they will help you find it in store. They also have a good selection of add on light, fan and cooling kits.
Helpful staff, knowledgable, great prices.
friendly staff with good advice , Built first gaming PC here, they recommended the best reviewed parts but couldn't offered a few parts and they where able to reduce the price without hurting performance much.
Third visit and they were as helpful as always. Great store, helpful staff, always willing to take the time to find products that suit your needs. Will visit again!
Joshua Dunnings kid was very rude and harassing.
Excellent selection and very good service here.
Best selection in the province with prices that compete with online retailers, always a friendly experience.
Awesome advice, prompt service, great in stock selection. David helped me and answered all my questions, and the tech was pleasant and knowledgeable. Will build my next system with them, no question about it
A better option for more computer parts. But if you are looking for simple things such as a laptop , headphones ect then I'd recommend Staples
Much better than Best Buy for purchasing computer parts. Relatively good stock.
Great PC components store with excellent selection.
Great place when you need something in a hurry. Store was clean and the staff was great.
The options and prices are good but it often seems to be a bit of a challenge to get help
My favorite store for computers and components
No pressure sales, know what they're talking about. They will always have a suggestion when prompted. 2020 edit: worst return policy I've ever seen, no price matching, limited stocks. I'm surprised they're still in business. Go to memory Express instead.
Second time at this location. Store has about everything you need for computer and tech related things. Big showroom and lots of stock. In a busy mall but lots of parking.
DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! GO TO MEMORY EXPRESS!!! Canada computer's return policy and warranty is completely BS, they will not uphold them. they will claim "Final Sale" no matter what and send you home. I tried to return a defective mouse and they just straight up said no even though it clearly states in their policy they would have replaced my mouse. Electronics often have manufacturing defects and shopping at Canada computers is too risky because you will not get a refund or replacement. Read some more comments, this frequently happens to people who buy from Canada Computers
Purchased a new power supply and had a diagnostic done on the laptop
New to the area so I decided to take a browse around. Was greeted by a friendly employee who was very knowledgeable about computers and took the time to answer my questions and I didn't even buy anything! Will be going back to purchase PC parts!
Didn't accept my mask exemption and booted me out. Not cool guys!
The staff at this store are always very helpful and knowledgeable. Whenever I want some good expertise and more personalized service, I definitely go to this store. They have made me a loyal customer and even though their prices may be a bit higher sometimes, to me it is well worth it because of the service! I would rather give them my business than a big box store or Amazon.
(Translated) Wyyi (Original) Wyyi
I like the store as a chance to see some cool products first hand, however in the end I'm likely using an online supplier. Unfortunately it's the age of buying computers from computers on your computer.
I like the staff at this CC. You can tell they love tech!
Good selection of hardware and decent prices
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, good location, decently-sized store, and inventory hold the latest products at competitive prices. NCIX as a company is one of the best places for computer hardware, I would highly recommend them for anyone building a PC. Last year, I built my Haswell-E system with their products, and purchased a GTX 780 earlier from them as well. Great place to volunteer too, for any students doing work experience (as I did.) Kim(berly), Tony, Edwin, and Russel were especially nice to work with, if you see them say hi for me! The rest of the staff were nice too but I didn't spend as much time with them sadly.
Nice and helpful staff
They have everything a computer geek could possible want. Overall staff are very knowledgeable, but of course they may direct you to the person with more detailed background specific to your needs.
They have everything you need.
The best place to get computer hardware
The Waterloo store was the only store anywhere near me that had an item I needed. It was sold out online, as well as in most stores in Ontario. Waterloo had one left and since it was several hours driving I called in advance and asked them if they would physically go and find the item and make sure they were able to find it. The employee found it while I was on the phone and marked it with my name and set it aside for me. They were very polite and I had an excellent experience. Thanks!
Great prices and selection. Knowledgeable staff. Questionable return policies.
Be careful, they only have a 15 day return policy as opposed to the industry standard of 30. I had no idea they had such a policy and just got stuck with something I don't want/need. Personally I'd rather go to a store like Best Buy who offers 30 days AND will match ANY other retailer's prices.
condescending staff who don't understand how manners and human interaction matter in customer service. took my money across the street to memoryexpress even though the product I bought was available at CC. do yourself a favour and give your money to the honest retailer across the street
Great tech support. Thanks guys for reviving my grandpa’s computer :)
Staff were great. Bought a QLED tv here, they took it off the shelf until I could pick it up the next day. Shout out to Eric and Aidan for the help.
Liked the place as it has everything you can think of when it comes to computers. Staff was very helpful.
Easy ordering online and pickup the same day, even during the Wuhan strain of the coronavirus pandemic
Good prices and selection. Great service!
STORE CLOSES AT 6PM ON SATURDAYS. It is frustrating to drive far to get to the store and is closed. The working hours for this store is wrong! Please, KEEP BUSINESS HOURS ON GOOGLE UP TO DATE.
Love these stores. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable no matter what one you go to.
Free parking in the back! My go to local place for all things computer related.
Good discounts. Purchased an adaptor online and picked it up free of charge in store. It was out of stock but they ordered it in a matter of days. Good service in the store allowing my to test the functionality before leaving.
Super helpful and friendly staff for all of your computer needs! My good friend built my first gaming rig and all the parts I needed aside from what he had gifted me I purchased from Canada Computers. The computer has been running strong for two years now! Recently got another rig with another great friend and all we needed was a new graphics card, went to Canada Computers and got exactly what we needed!
Better than NCIX, lots of selection and stock.
Called to purchase something, which I was told was in stock, was at the store in less than 10 minutes and they decided to sell it instead of holding it. Good stuff
Had a great experience here. Was buying all the components for my first computer build and the employee (Dan) was very helpful. He took the time to go over some specifics, answered all my questions, and was very personable. Build went well, and the computer runs great!
Always has what I need
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. If you ask a question and they don't know the answer, they will go to someone who does.
I was extremely impressed with the service I received. Mike was the bees knees. He really helped me understand each component of the computer I wished to build and genuinely went out of his way to help me build the best pc for my budget. Thanks bunches, Calvin Kovacs
Selling Monitors with bad pixels with no discount what so ever. As if they could ship from other store they said no.. Now people know why I don't shop local...
Coming from an IT tech, it is easily the best store in London Ontario to serve your computer needs and more. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. A special shout out to Klint, an experienced and knowledgeable tech in their service dept. who always provides great customer service, especially with my recent laptop issues. I cringe the odd time I have to deal with other big box stores for tech stuff. I always recommend CC Wellington!!
Most of the staff are friendly and knowledgeable - in the event that they aren't knowledgeable on something specific you need they can usually redirect you to someone who is. They also respect their price protection policy with no fuss which I really appreciate.
The only place I'll go! for years I've been coming to the location in Etobicoke and I would never change to another store. The guys working the service/repair department are so amazing and talented, when I didn't understand and even asked them to repeat what they said the guys would explain it in everyway until I was fully knowledgeable and not once would they get annoyed. Top techs, top service, and overall the most genuine and kindest people I've had the pleasure of dealing with. I came here years ago, and I will continue to come here for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! The best choice by far for your electronic needs, and the best place for kind customer care if I could give more then 5 stars I would! Custom builds, buying gaming grade notebooks/laptops, gaming gear, and the list goes on and on. Everytime I come in, I leave happy as I can be with the biggest smile! Don't hesitate, just go ;)
So I wanted to buy a monitor online which says it’s available in store and available for pickup. When I reached the checkout option, the nearest store that has it is about 120km away even though I set the Waterloo store as my preferred one. They don’t provide shipping to my house nor provide shipping to nearest store, like what type of online experience is this? Do you expect your customers to drive to whatever store has the item?
I just wanted to say that I had an excellent experience at this store this evening. I went in for a last minute purchase and the gentleman who helped me, the manager I believe, (very tall with blond hair) was extremely kind, professional and went above and beyond to make sure I received the product I was looking for. Amazing customer service! Appreciate you sir!
Some products are cheaper but most of the are highly priced
Slow service, store clerks are lazy not interested dealing with customers. This is common for Canada Computer store staff across the country.
A great computer (& accessories) store with very helpful, knowledgeable staff.
I wanted to call ahead before driving the twenty minutes for a psu motherboard cable. After the first unanswered 5 calls I decided to call 13 more times to see if anyone would answer. No one answered at all, the best part is they don't have voice service setup for call backs. Also interesting is the lack of follow up to earlier ratings and opinions. Obviously they don't care and management is clueless. Oh well NCIX had better service and they were helpful how long before this company dispatches.
Best prices I have seen so far staff is pretty good and they have nearly every thing u would need for computers
Knowledgeable and helpful staff, good selection. I came in to get a laptop fixed, and it was repaired the very same day. Impressive and recommended.
Help so much getting me a laptop
TRYING TO SELL OPENED MONITORS AS NEW!!!!Careful buying a monitor there......Got one "New" and it was clearly opened before and had a lot of dead pixels on the screen. Tried to return it that day, the staff and the owner fought tooth and nail. Look at the review below me by Luke...Same exact thing happened to him....Be careful buying things here.
Amazing store, best since Future Shop closed. Great selection, great prices. Handicapped friendly
Good store, a lot of stuff, I found what I needed
Good price and service
Best Customer care! Tommy helped us from the beginning. Every single staff was friendly. I was having issues that was a bit unidentifiable... The tech looks through the problem and was very happy to help. And taught things I didn't know. Will always give them my business rather than anywhere else.
They don't pick up their phone??? How do I contact them without driving 30 minutes?
Lots of stock, good prices
Well organized store. Staff is friendly and very helpful.
Great place, way better stocked than the old NCIX. Has roughly the same setup, but the customer service is great and they actually seem like they know what they're doing. Good chain retailer and hope to see them do well in this location.
Knowledgable staff who show you the best deals. Highly recommend here for any tech needs! Purchased a modem and new phone chargers here and they were exactly what I needed. Great return policy if you ever need to return something.
Knowledgeable and very helpful staff. And a lot of bargain.
Their diagnostics department at Sherway are the least educated human beings on earth. They failed to find anything wrong, tried to tell me it was fine, and then two days later I had hardware failure. I will never be spending a dime here ever again.
If you want the best stuff for the least amount of money and still get a Canadian warranty, you won't find a better place. I've been buying all my computer equipment from them for 5 years or so. They don't carry fluff like Apple which just wastes space in stores. Friendly staff that truly know what they're talking about. It's not a Future Shop or Best Buy sales guy you're talking to here. Do you your homework before coming down and you'll get the most out of this place. I recommend these guys to everyone.
No customer service whatsoever. Each employee is in their own world talking to each other about computer parts instead of assisting the customer. I usually do my homework before I go buy computer parts, but I still had questions. However there was no one to ask those questions. Didn't expect my first time to the store to be this sad.
Great value for money on most items.... Went on looking for a wifi adapter and webcam.... Got the adapter at a great price.... Parking is easy.... Everyone was wearing a mask.... Thanks for helping to keep us all safe...
Good place to get a new laptop and accessories. Prices are decent too. Staff was helpful.
Great customer service and knowledgeable staff. My go to for electronics
Nothing but bad service from this location. Manager has attitude, a particular employee did not know what he was talking about, just said "yes yes" to everything I asked. I really think canada computers would have been great here, but given the service and their lack of effort, I unfortunately can't say that anyone should go to this place.
Bronson was friendly, super helpful and deeply insightful. Go to this guy, he knows what he's talking about! He'll will fill you in with the details you need to make a confident purchase!
Computer store with a decent selection & fair pricing. They have the option to build your own computer which is good for enthusiasts or professionals.
They have a lot of tech in stock, but the customer service, return policy and price matching policy is sub par and needs to be looked into.
Great place, staff was very helpful
Was in and out in under 60 seconds with online reservation. A very convenient option. Ian was very helpful.
The staff is friendly and willing to help you out with whatever your needs are. When on sale prices are pretty good and its all in all a good ecperience.
Great place to get cheapest computer and computer accessories in London Ontario
Based solely on the customer service recieved from Devon. Guy seemed very uninterested, almost bothered to help. Most of the other staff has a good attitude and customer service skills. This guy however, no. Bought item I didn't need and showed little care if I found what I drove there for or not.
great experience, and amazing staff
TECHS ARE NOT A+ CERTIFIED, TECH IS A "KNOW IT ALL". BETTER PRICES AND PRODUCTS FOUND ONLINE IF YOU HAVE THE TIME. MANAGER IS A NICE GUY VICTOR.
Best retail computer and electronics store in London. Fair prices and consumer-friendly policies. Their 2000s-era website has live stock counts (!) This storefront has a large showroom of product on display. Products range is from 'boardroom' to 'sweaty gamer basement'.
Very helpful employees, with a great selection of products
A computerholic's paradise. Canada Computers carries only quality merchandise.
Very knowledgeable stuff
Enzo is a very knowledgeable staff and very helpful. We bought a desktop and thanks for his helpful tips, we didn't feel any pressure from him. Highly recommend this store for buying computers and accessories
Staff lazy. Stands around and chat among them self. The variety of computer gear is nice!
I generally have good experiences at this CC location, but my girlfriend who went there to buy me a Corsair k95 platinum for my birthday present was sold a refurbished keyboard with sticky keys at full price, without telling her it had those issues or that it was used. Really disappointed that they did that, and I would warn people to be cautious and to document their interactions there as well as keeping receipts as clearly there are some staff there that will take advantage of people that are not knowledgable in tech.
Extremely helpful customer service for the novice gaming PC builder.
Great selection of computer and gameing supplies will buy my next computer parts at this place
All your computer needs in one place. If you need it they have it. They will build a computer for you with your selected parts which I think is one of the best things about this place. I have yet to try to build my own yet but I know in the future I will.
Always friendly and knowledgeable service here. Amazing selection of items. I just wish they still had multiple locations because the new super store is far from me.
Used to be a good place to shop but customer service this holiday season is brutal and I won't be shopping at this location any longer. Online shopping experience was terrible and employees actually laughed at me when I asked if I could get my items same day as I ordered. Wasted 2.5 hours of my life waiting for them to tell me to come back tomorrow. Ended up ordering from their competition instead this time.
Came here to get an item that was advertised. Maybe four other people besides me in the store first thing when they opened and the item was already "sold out". The salesperson claimed that someone bought two of them... It says right on the ad, one per customer. What??
Pretty good place, lots of choice and fair prices.
Great location. Just picked up a laptop from this location and Danny was extremely patient, informative, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Very friendly staff, would highly recommend
I've been buying from CC for over 10 years at various locations in London and Toronto. They always have very competitive pricing on components, carry specialty items and have great sales. As someone who has transitioned to mostly buying goods online, CC is one of the only brick and mortar stores that I continue to shop at for all my computer parts and electronics. The staff is also very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable (at this location).
Best place for all your computer component needs. Knowledgeable staff and good customer service. Look for sales online to save money on parts if you can afford to wait before purchasing.
In-store the staff hardly knows their own inventory or can't be bothered to even deal with you until you're at the cash register. The check out process is terribly organized and if it's even slightly busy you'll be waiting for a while. Ordering online and having it shipped here for in-store pickup will take at least 3 weeks. I know this because today marks the three week point and there's no sign of my order - no emails or calls have been returned and I'm going to have to physically go in and check on the status. I've seen similar feedback from others. Be careful with returns - they'll take them, but they won't be happy, and you'll pay a restocking fee if any packaging has been opened. Compare that to 100% refund returns with no questions asked at most other electronics retailers, and Canada Computers easily falls short. Accidentally picked up the wrong overpriced cable and opened the package to get a look at it? Too bad. It's a shame that Canada Computers is the only retailer in the region with a decent supply of computer hardware. If Future Shop or Best Buy (or literally anyone else) moved in that direction or offered more components, I wouldn't hesitate to drop Canada Computers in a second and never return.
The curb side pickup line basically doesn’t move at all. It takes up awards of ten minutes to process each pickup order for some reason. Expect to wait 30 min even during off-peak hours. Bring a book.
This has become my go-to computer/tech store over the last 3 years. I've had 2 great computer builds form them. They have been invaluable in providing advice and recommendations on parts and product quality when I can't figure out the best choice to make. Ordering online, calling ahead, and purchasing directly in store are all very efficient and quick ways to get the tech you need quickly. (if it's not an iPhone, I got it here, great store with great staff)
They wouldnt accept a return for an ink cartridge that didn't work. They only accept returns for "their own products", so I would recommend Staples or Best Buy if you have the option, just in case you need to return something.
Great service, especially if you know what you're looking for. Easy to order online and in store payment & pickup was fast, efficient and sanitary. The associates were extremely professional, positive and friendly. Nice to see happy faces even from behind glass.
Friendly staff. Very comparable prices to the likes of Amazon. Get your stuff from a local store folks...
Headed into CC this morning for the Black Friday sales. Was greeted by friendly staff(even though it was very busy) as always. Ricky has helped me out on more than one occasion and his product knowledge is amazing. The store manager was friendly and approachable. Highly recommend anyone to visit this store!
One of the best looking stores I have seen. Great selection and customer service.
Oh man where would I be without Canada Computers... The staff are always so knowledgeable and helpful even taking the time to walk my son through some options with his first computer build! The store is always well stocked and is really the only place to go for computer components and peripherals... Don't waste your time somewhere else!
The store located in Merivale Rd, Ottawa, has the worst customer service in the entire city. All of the employees look at you and ignore you and the funny thing they walk away quickly to avoid serving you. if they don't want to work it's preferable that they close the store.
Spent 2.4k on a prebuilt computer, it didnt work properly out of the box. That happens. Thankfully was able to return it 3hrs later, but the tech rushed me through the process of if I wanted a refund/exchange etc. Interrupted me when I was trying to explain what I wanted to happen. Was just terse in general. Was willing to spend the 2.4k again in the store. Walked around for about 5 minutes waiting for help with staff available (including staff that checked me out 3 hrs earlier) and no one asked what happened, if I needed help, etc. I guess just shop on NewEgg? I couldnt really get much help at Canada Computers. First time I ever shopped there and this was my experience.
They refused refund or even exchange an inappropriate liquid cooling just bought a few hours. Rude attitudes! Terrible service!
Had a terrible experience with the stuff here (Saturday, August 14, 2021) Went inside and saw components I wanted to buy on the shelf. Asked an employee - can I get it? He answered - "everything that's on the shelf is available" So I told him I'd like to buy the thing. He turned, took the thing, went with it somewhere, got back to me and said "we don't have them anymore". I turned and started to move to the exit and he and other employee next to him just exploded in laugh! So yeah - if you go there - be prepared to be treated like garbage. Spent tens of thousands of dollars at this store, and didn't expect to be treated like that. PS. Oh, and btw - right after that went to the other computer parts store and bought the thing I needed. Will never again go to CC.
Nice, clean showroom and helpful staff. Usually the best pricing you can find online or in store for computers and accessories!
Perfect place to find a good computer and electronic accessories.
Does anyone in this location actually smile or look at least cheerful? Either you ask a question and it's a long sigh before they say yes and unwillingly show you or just tell you where to go.. I've come here to avoid going across the street to another retailer, but here the employees I've had to ask, always seem unhappy or annoyed. I like this company but not so much there so called computer staff. I went in to ask about an apple TV question. The answer i got was attitude. Then I asked about to find a cable, they wouldn't even come out and help find it like the other actual employees that walk around. These two losers were to busy looking at something on the computer, there names Will and Matt. I worked in electronic retail before, so I know that if a customer needs assistance you assist them and not just avoid helping. So it's better so you research at home, ask questions on message boards and the when ready. Go buy it without asking for help. I left very pissed, but will come again to buy stuff for a cheaper price then at the best (worst) buy across the street.
They have everything for upgrading a computer. They also have everything needed to build an opulent system. Its like a computer techs dream. The prices can go from cheap to very expensive depends on what you want or need. I built an 8 core or 8 processor computer about 5 years ago from Canada computers. My system was worth 5 years ago about $ 4000 and I put it together for less then $ 900. All my parts came from Canada computers. Yes there is free parking and the staff is very good and helpful. They also have technicians to answer questions. They also have a computer repair centre in the building. I have been upgrading and building computers since 1987 and know a super computer shop when I see one. And Canada computers has it all.
I am very surprised to hear all the negative reviews on this store. I have been shopping at Canada Computers in Waterloo since they opened up shop here. I am a sole owner of a very small legit computer repair business, and I purchase many parts here at the store in Waterloo, and I have ordered parts online without a hitch. I have returned parts without any problem at all. I noticed another review stating he walks into that store quoting he has a cane and they do not help him. Well unfortunately I have been using a cane now for a while and the staff at this store bend over backwards to help me when I am able to visit and purchase products. The manager is decent and the entire staff are very helpful. I like the fact they make you inspect motherboards for bent pins before committing to the purchase. The fact some people do not know how to install a CPU into a perfectly working new mobo without bending pins need to stop blaming the store for their own mistakes made. And, BTW, CC's is the cheapest store in Canada for parts in most cases. Sure, they may not always have accurate stock levels on their website, but who really does. At least they will ship parts that are in stock, unlike Tiger Direct, who claim they have stock, but then I receive notice after the parts are paid for they will not ship the parts with no reason provided. The only negative thing I can comment on is I do not like their parking lot.
No in store stock... same as everyone else... Nice store and helpful staff.
Good place for all things technology. Have always found what I wanted here and even gotten free tech advice and very fair assessments of laptop issues.
Very happy with the service I’ve received at this particular location. After using a humble Nehalem build for a decade, it was time to let go. Admittedly I can be a picky customer, but I’m very happy with the patience, expertise, and insights from many of the staff (and many dealt with me as my new build took over a month to spec out). My biggest props go to Lance, though, as I’m very lucky to have connected with him. He was extremely well-versed with my needs in VR development and media creation and ultimately I ended up with a build that I’m very happy with, both budget and performance wise. 11/10 would go to the Burnaby Canada Computers location for any PC needs.
Great staff. Helpful and willing to assist.
Sold me a defective water cooler for my computer. There was a bent fan when I took it out of the box. Cost me $150... called the very next morning to see if they had another in stock so I could exchange the piece. And they told me I'm stuck with it. So now I'm waiting on the phone with head office. Spend your money elsewhere
The counter attendant, Candice, behaved like I was purchasing a $2 pizza slice not a $1500 laptop. When I purchased the laptop, she acted dismissive, rebuffed my questions and provided the most useless advice. However, the owner, a few days later, was helpful in answering my questions. The opposite of Candice.
Helpful, friendly staff. I was really surprised when i walked in to the store, due to the friendly greeting and isles of merchandise. Well laid out. So much better than the old store.
Staff members are Helpful but tend to be quite assumptive and condescending - not to sure why. The site is great and I think I’ll order online from now on. The store was completely under stocked and trying to work with their staff is quite the underwhelming experience. It’s a shame - I’m more likely to recommend Newegg due to last couple Canada computer experiences.
I've never written a negative review before, but I've been trying to contact this store regularly (several times a day) in the last week to check about an in-store pickup. I've been put on hold EACH time, and eventually told I'd be receive a call back but never have. Impossible to contact by phone. The website is useless because it doesn't tell me which items are ready for pickup, and the web status hasn't been updated despite my receiving some partial pickup notices from the Store. The tracking number from UPS has said the items have been delivered but I have not received the new pickup notices from the store. Very frustrating. Items were marked as taking 2-3 days to deliver and it's been a week and I'm still waiting. Live chat support is friendly but unhelpful. Edit: Decided to just go into the physical store. The guys inside were SUPER helpful and helped me change my order so I can get parts that are in-stock. Amended by review rating from a 1 star to a 3 star.
Good selection, helpful staff. Be careful in the parking lot; it can be tight fit. Taking the bus is a good option.
I like the fact that they sell very nice selection of electronics. My problem is every time I want to buy something, the thing is always out of stock. They have to order it and it takes days or weeks. Come on man, I would have done it through amazon Prime. Why would I bother to check out the retail store ? It is frustrating.
Like the products, find the staff helpful!
My candy store.
Trusted advice and great customer service.
Amazing customer service
To the reviewer who posted 3 days ago, Todd Mann. I am shocked you think you can walk into businesses without a mask and get upset when they tell you that you need one. You go as far as to say their business is Communist ran when their Canada-wide website says masks are required. Please be more considerate about the people around you and less selfish about yourself. This Pandemic is not a "you problem" it is an "us problem" as in all of us together. Just because you are tested every day does not mean it is impossible for you to be a carrier. Canada Computers has done an amazing job staying open throughout this Pandemic and I applaud them for their continuing service! #WearAMask
Good place to buy computers or parts. Good service.
I brought my computer in to be upgraded, and they rebuilt it, but i continued to have software issues, and they took the computer back several times, trying to find the issue with me. In the end we finally figured it out and they were very kind and lovely. Do recommend them, for sure. Theyre great. I learned a lot about computers hahaha
Probably the best brick and mortar computer store in Niagara
Staff was helpful once I was able to get service, getting that service took some work though
I bought a Corsair Vengenance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) for my son's desktop. First, I understand it's the holiday season. And I am supposed to be understanding. But when I saw this particular employee of yours (asian young man), he was helping a customer. I approached him and asked if he could help. He said he would come back to me. After he was done with the customer. He saw me, then he slowly walked away from me, and I re-approached him. And said "can you help me now?" He said "you don't need to be rude". Then I was annoyed, and said "you knew I needed help, and u just finished a customer, and you are walking away.... and u are telling me I don't need to be rude. If I am rude, you would know..." This guy is the definition of today's young people... they want their job to be easy, they feel they are "entitled". He should not be working in customer service.
I've called multiple times over in the past week. Each call has been between the hours of 12 PM and 6 PM, which are well within the store hours. I've been met with a busy tone every single time. Sometimes it rings for a full 2 minutes just to boot me off. There isn't a message or anything. They really need to get a better calling system.
Way better than wintronics... Shop here first
Awesome store but wow does the Kitchener location ever need updating. It's hurts to go here after being to the London location. Excellent helpfull staff. Great return policy.
One of the worst places to deal with They ruined my laptop Never go to them
Don’t offer returns, even if they have it online. And stuff told me to search the nivida promo code online, which was supposed to come with the graphic card I bought at their store. Great service, Canada Computers:).
Ordered item in December order arrived for pickup mid February (2.5 months later) 2 days after arrival they canceled order. Came into store to pick up item. Would not match the price I order the item for.
Very helpful and advised on what was needed and required...keep up the great work!!!
Sells computer things
Amazing staff, very helpful
Absolutely amazing service and patient helps! Thank you Gary!!! 5 stars friendly professional salesman! Highly recommended this local computer shop! You would not be disappointed trust me!
Super friendly service.
Being 100% honest, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such honest and humble staff. Specifically Enzo, who was willing to work after hours to guide me and secure my desired products. It was my first time actually buying a computer and if it wasn’t for his compassion for customer satisfaction, I think I would’ve wasted money. I really appreciate it Enzo!
Just don't expect great after purchase care.
Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff, fair prices with lots of stuff usually on sale. They actually allowed me to return a sketchy power supply and exchange it for a better one, which they didn't have to do since technically there wasn't anything wrong with the unit (at least not yet). Only complaint is I wish they would answer the phone more often. Been calling every now and again to check if they've received any 30-series GPU's and the phone just rings forever. Unfortunately you have to act fast trying to get a GPU these days and it's difficult when no one will answer the phone. Otherwise, great store !
This store is absolutely fantastic I talked almost exclusively to my guy Ahmed (I sincerely hope I'm spelling that right) and he HOOKED IT UP. I bought all my parts from this store and my new gaming pc is fantastic. He helped me upgrade for value and stay away from parts that are overpriced. If you want a new computer or anything related come talk to Ahmed, he's the man!
Good selection and prices. Process for returning defective items definitely needs to be improved.
Got exactly what I needed very quickly to repair an older computer. Also helped my son with a gaming machine we put together from components. Everything went together quickly and booted up first time. Same place came up with good advice and parts to upgrade an X-box hard drive. Best computer store around!
Staff were very helpful and accommodating when I popped in for a new laptop right before closing.
I was assisted by Mike Massey. He truly dedicated his time and knowledge to my PC when I was in need of maintenance. The next time I go to Canada Computers, I hope he will be there to help me again. out of everyone I talked to in the store he is by far the most knowledgeable person in there. my computer was in with them for 4 days and nobody could find the issue. as soon as Mike got on it, he was able to pinpoint the issues and resolve it for me. Shout out to Mike! He’s the man with a plan.
Love love LOVED Canada Computers. I’ve bought a ton of stuff over the years. Was happy to finally have one in Oakville. Until today. Bought a Display Port to HDMI converter 2 days ago. It wasn’t what I needed, tried to return. There is a no return policy on open items. That is HORRIBLE. I understand some items (RAM, CPU) but an item like this? Won’t be going there anymore with a lame policy on all open items. I’ll stick to Best Buy and Amazon moving forward. Thankfully it was only $25 and not some thing more expensive, or I would have been way more annoyed. Not sure how a business can operate with this type of strict policy on everything. This is not a customer friendly business model for someone that has spent a lot of money over the years there and returned an item for the first time.
Careful attention. Excellent.
The staff there could care less about you or your patronage. Felt like I was a burden to them asking them to service my PC
Great Selection - Knowledgeable and Helpful Staff Canada Computers has a great selection of electronics parts and equipment that is tough to find. Staff are techies who know their stuff and who are helpful in selecting products based on your needs or the features you are interested in. Canada Computers also has a great website that provides sufficient information about the products the chain carries that you can do your research on-line before visiting the store.
I would avoid shopping here. I recently purchased parts for a PC, and paid the $50 fee to have Canada Computers assemble them for me. They ended up installing the wrong motherboard, and I ended up having to spend more money to correct it. The motherboard they installed did not have onboard WiFi. In order to "fix" the problem, they offered to install an WiFi card (at my expense). When I took the PC in to have the card installed, the tech installed it incorrectly. I eventually had to open up the PC case and fix it myself. After spending $2000 on a PC, An extra $50 for the Wifi Card, and $50 parts assembly... - I received the wrong motherboard. - I had to install an extra card in my PC that I didn't want. - I had to make an extra trip to the store to have the card installed. - The store installed my WiFi card incorrectly - I had to finish the installation myself - I received no software supports (I had to do the Windows/driver install myself) - I was basically forced to void my warranty (by opening the case) - I had to spend more money to fix the problem I asked both the store, and head office, if they had any plans to make this situation better, but they have stopped responding to my emails. I wanted to share my story with you, in order to help inform your purchasing decisions. I would avoid Canada Computers, especially if you are planning to have a PC assembled for you.
Helpful and friendly staff!
Not as good as the former company NCIX Computers but still very knowledgeable staff and good prices. Not a very good store layout so could use a merchandising expert to come in and help them. Other store like the Costco computer department recommend them over Costco.
This location has restored my faith in this brand. While they are surprisingly busy for a computer parts store, the staff (when you can get one) are very knowledgeable and helpful. They price match, and are usually the best price regardless.
So happy with these guys today at the town line and hwy 2 locations always a good time friendly and patient. Now I just need to get sponsored by CC for this awesome post ????
Knowledgeable, patient, and friendly staff - took the time to answer all my questions and provide guidance and assistance when I was looking for a Custom PC Build request. Will definitely come back to get my parts here! Thanks Heewon for helping me every step of the way, this dude rocks!
Good choice but expensive
Such excellent service from all of the staff, but Craig Moger goes above and beyond. I will go to them for all future computer needs !
Computers from Canada...
Great Deals
Was rushed and told we had 10-15 minutes of shopping time AFTER the fact that we were in the store for 15 minutes already. We were comparing specs of different products to finalize what suited our needs. We immediately felt uncomfortable once the associate Jacob rushed us to leave and make a decision - which we were comparing specs because we were looking at $200 headsets and keyboards. Once we didn't feel welcome we ended up leaving and on our way out said that was horrible customer service which Jacob said "make sure to leave a review my name is jacob". Unnecessary snarky reply- unbelievable that your employees are allowed to talk this way with customers. We went to the burlington location afterwards where the staff was very kind and helpful to us. Bought a monitor, mouse pad, keyboard, and 2 gaming headsets for a total of $700 that you won't get commission for now for being such a rude person.
Really friendly and helpful staff
Horrible return policy. 14 days even on unopened/unused products!
Great prices. Usually good selection. Rare brick and mortar store. Glad to shop there!
Went in because I needed a new computer and was making the switch from laptop to desktop. Simply went up to the service counter and explained my needs to the sales associate (who's name I regret not getting) they listened to my needs, provided options and answered all of my questions in a way that I could understand. Could not have asked for better costumers service and once I got everything set up at home the everything works just as good as they said.
it's the only place I go.
Excellent prices and selection. Definitely the best store in London for computer parts and accessories as well as laptops and desktops. Return policies are fairly strict compared to big box stores.
Love the prices and availability of good quality products.
Very pricey
A bit expensive. Tried to hard to upsell $$ to machine well beyond what I needed.
I have been a customer here for years. They are very helpful and knowledgable and always there to answer questions. I bought my second refurbished laptop here and the brightness keys were not working. They took care of it right away and got it all working. Great support.
For computer components and complete systems, you can get them all here. The staff hare are very knowledgeable and can help you find what you need. Prices here are among the best around and the selection is second to none. TV’s and professional audio can be found here too.
PC repair guy is very unkind. Asked him to fix something and he returned it without proper testing for the issue. Then proceeded to berate me with accusations concerning the equipment I needed fixed. A shame, all of the other staff members are kind but this guy, does not care at all.
Finally! A computer parts store that is close to Courtice! Certainly beats heading into Whitby or worse, Scarborough For parts. Very knowledgeable staff and good selection. Search online, call store for stock, go and get... it's that easy!
We requested a laptop for work/business and were suggested an MSI laptop by their salesperson. We weren't allowed to open the box to see the laptop so bought it, took it home for a day just to realize it's a strictly gaming laptop extremely uncomfortable to work with. Returned it 2 day later and were charged $380 restocking fee (%15 of the price)!!! I don't know how these folks wanna compete with other companies when they suggest and sell you a closed package based on your criteria and penalize you for trusting them. Extremely disappointed.
Good place to get your machine assembled. Not many offers on final products.
Great prices and lots of selection. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Box
i purchased a motherboard and at the time of purchase i was told that all i need for a return if something was wrong was the unit itself, almost immediately i was getting no post issues from the Vram and when i finally got time to take it back i was told i needed the box, the screws, and everything that came with it. when i tried explaining to them what i was told when i bought the unit they just shrugged me off. staff clearly isnt trained on actual company policy leading to false information, and staff failed to honor what i was told even though it was their fault i was misinformed
My favorite computer/peripheral store (hands down) but the customer service leaves much to be desired. When I was just entering University I discovered this place and was put off by the fact that not one staff member was friendly or willing …
Just left this newly opened Canada Computers, chinese staff with glasses incessantly followed me from isle to isle like I was going to steal something. I said" I'm fine, I'm just browsing" to give a hint and yet he persisted, stood at end of isle and stared at me then followed me to another isle until I simply had enough and left. Never Again will set foot inside.
Helpful staff. Wide variety of products in stock. Best prices in London for computer parts.
Honestly you get the best service with whoever is working on a particular day. Explains why you guys a are giving them five stars because they don't deserve it. Aunt went to deposit money for a phone and no return or exchange policy discussed with her. She felt she couldn't get the phone anymore and wanted the money back or replace it with something. We were under the impression the person who received the money that day wasn't available because anytime we went no one said we couldn't get the money back so he was the only person who could give us the money back or we could replace it with something else. We went there more than three times and we were told Austin was not around. Guess what?!!! She was insulted and told she wouldn't be given the money back neither could she get any item worth the money. Very terrible customer service especially that guy called Ali or whatever his name is. Please put your policy on your receipts else you don't have the right to put claims on anything and do well to discuss policies with your customers. Such incompetence ????????♀️
Great shop. Super friendly and very helpful.
Hoping these 5 stars will get me a reservation to their RGB case that they were selling less than $100 (that I'll definitely buy in two weeks if it's still in their stock!)
The tech and service people were 100% helpful, I will come back here again for sure. Got my awesome router!
The best place ever to get computer components or full builds. I've never had a computer there for repair so 8 can't speak to that. Only reason for 4 stars is sometimes the customer service doesn't really seem like they want to help you. But always friendly
They have a wide selection of good equipment and prices rival amazon. Shop Brick and mortar stores when you can.
Solid store - not fantastic prices, but will price match to internet retailers. A lot better than some of the competition
They held a “Boxing Day” sale online on Christmas Day with the sale ending at midnight. It stated “free shipping” but then charged for shipping. It stated you couldn’t pick it up in store and had to have it shipped but then stated it couldn’t guarantee shipping due to delays, so I abandoned the cart. I went to the store this morning, Boxing Day, and there were NO sales whatsoever. They would not honour the online sale which ended hours ago. They also would not honour price matching, but they have in recent weeks. Also the staff is rude and unhelpful. A lot of people walked out of there this morning angry & disappointed. The CEO needs to know what’s going on at this store.
This is one of my most visited places here in london, home of all tech needs ???? ❤
Where's else you gonna go? Walmart?
Sales person is nice man but bluetooth are expensive
Straight forward honest assistance. Very helpful.
Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Had my computer diagnosed and rebuilt with a new graphic card and new case within 48 hours, which was way shorter than my expectations. Great store, really happy with my experience
OUTSTANDING, fast, quality service. Far outshines the geek squad - faster, nicer, less expensive and reliable! They are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and communicate effectively based on customer's tech savvy level. Great for seniors too who need a device fixed or repaired. Kevin and Will at the repair/service desk were amazing!!!!
For building a souped up gaming PC, there's no better place. It's a spot where semi-nerds like myself can talk to real nerds about what kind of hardware to use.
the service was very helpful and in a polite manner. they had what i needed with no problems whether i needed a small purchase or a large one. and i was also given advice on some particular items that came in very handy. i would definitely recommend going to computer canada for your hardware needs.
Helpful, knowledgeable staff, great selection and reasonable prices, all reasons I keep coming back here for my computer and tech needs.
Do not know haven't heard from them
Has everything you need
Nice to have this shop locally for components and for us DIY system builders. I've always found the staff to be quite friendly, as well, and they seem pretty well informed. RE: some of the reviews below, the first few months during COVID made entering the store a bit restrictive (2 people at at ime), but I won't blame a business for trying to protect everyone during uncertain times. And as of writing, they're up to 1 person per employee in the store and wait times are negligible when I've popped in.
Best Canada computers location I've been too.. went to Hamilton Upper James to warranty an item I had bought there, and paid for the extra warranty on, and they told me to shove off.. went to st Catharines location, and they swapped it out with no problems. Proceeded to spend $6000 in the following 3 months at this location, and will continue to go to this location.
My go-to place for ssd hard drives and phone accessories.
Great selection of products, very good prices, and staff that are both knowledgable and helpful. This is a fantastic place to shop for computers and accessories.
OMG If you every come to the Brampton location, you have to ask for Enzo. Customer service 10/10, product knowledge 10/10 an a complete people person. I wish everywhere I went had employees like ENZO. If it wasn't for covid I would hug him. I don't know if supervisors would review my response, but if any of you are. ENZO is the BESTEST'. Because of him you now have a customer for life !!!
Fantastic store, it will make you giddy looking at all the tech here, the staff are sure to help you find exactly what you need. I don't know about the prices on most things, but when I was building my PC I found that CC had the best priced graphics card for my system. It's worth checking out.
Excellent service and advice. Product availability is also very efficient.
Ordered for pickup of a hard drive. There was no clear communication from the store about 3 days time required to pickup the item, other than what's written from the order. I came to pickup not knowing about this situation and one of the store employee was laughing about the cancelled pickup order. It would be nice to have a clear form of communication via email or phone if an order were to be cancelled, instead of having to leave empty handed and be laughed at by staff. If it's a professional conduct to laugh at a customer who does not know about the policy, that's fine, but this location would be at the bottom of my list.
We had a successful visit in search of a comfy chair and ended up buying one. But they could really stand some improvement in their whole approach to chair selling. Desperately need a proper system where chairs, model numbers, and prices are clearly displayed. Where a person can properly try and compare chairs to make an informed choice. And a staff member or two than can explain differences and options. I was totally ready to leave and buy a chair at Staples. Your store is extremely fortunate that we found a chair we liked in spite of the poor customer service.
Here we have a store that won’t stand behind its products. My son purchased a monitor from them less than two months ago that is now intermittently failing. They refuse to take it back because he doesn’t have the original styrofoam it was packaged in, saying that they’d have to take a loss. I guess they’d rather he took the loss. Do not shop here.
These guys and gals have some great products and prices on many things tech and are passionate about the craft of computers
Purchased a Corsair m65 elite with extended replacement for 2 years due to issues with a previous mouse requiring 3 weeks for shipping to corsair. Mouse had issues so i went to have it exchanged. Attendant found receipt but couldnt return due to not being able to recreate the problem. Was told to come back with a video. Came back 2 weeks later with video and was told that no mouse was purchased with warranty before and the mouse was never purchased at the location - even though the previous attendant was able to pull up the receipt. Now im forced to ship to corsair and be without my work mouse for 3 weeks while being down the cost for warranty. Will never use this location again.
Friendly service and the guys knew there stuff. Great talking to tech heads who actually knows their jobs versus someone that was just shoehorned into the position.
Horrible experience as well - AVOID THIS STORE AT ALL COAST BEWARE OF THEIR PRODUCT EXCHANGE POLICY On April 23, 2020, I bought two ASUS monitors (ASUS VP249HE Eye Care Monitor – 23.8", Full HD, IPS, Frameless, Flicker Free, Blue Light Filter, VESA wall-mount), two days later one of them had issues flickering (screen blinking) then the left side of the screen became more yellow than the other. I went to the store where I spoke to no less than 5 employees at the same time - I was on the curb due to COVID - and after I insisted on getting an exchange, nobody paid attention to my explanations of the defect, they were preoccupied that the product would go quarantined for three days for their safety, prior to their unexpected analysis. I must add I was even treated with sarcasm, whilst in the middle of the discussion I was asked "Do you know why we have the quarantine policy?", by whom I believe to be the store manager as at this point the other employees remained quiet. I did not even bother to respond such ridicule intention. After all, an unsatisfied customer was just trying to get the product he paid for. I left the monitor for their analysis, but who would guarantee that their technician's opinion would not be arbitrary, on their own interest. Above all, I knew the monitor was defective. Three days later I got a response from them where I noticed they did not even know what was the defect I was alleging, since their email did not fully comprehend the issue I informed, they simply said the monitor was not defective. I said I did not want the monitor and asked for my money back. They denied it. I got the monitor back, still defective (more yellow than the other one, specially on the left side of the screen - both monitors same configuration). My advise and conclusion is: Avoid this store at all coasts. Just go to Bestbuy; they always beat the competitors price. They do not ask, they just exchange the item or give your money back.
I tried calling before I made the 100km trip to the London, ON store. The gentleman behind the counter was asked about a computer on sale in the flyer. I asked him about the RAM in the computer as the website only stated "usual ram" and I also asked him about the power supply. After everything he then told me that I would not be able to purchase the computer because they would have to ship it and the sale would be over by the time it came in. I then asked about some components, a Ryzen 7 and a motherboard and ram. He then told me that they were sold out and that I wouldn't be able to get one because head office was only getting 70 in. Again, I offered to pay up front and wait for the components to come in. So a complete waste of my time. No one answers phones in a not too busy store, and zero help from the staff. Just before I left he recommended NewEgg. I usually come to this store for the expertise and support. I guess I have to go elsewhere now.
Utmost satisfaction on the recent orders. New power supply and video card.
Would be 5 stars if not for one of their workers being aggressive over the phone
Good range of products for building computers. Staff are knowledgeable on most topics.
I've had a positive experience here. Office is right across the street, and I've had better deals here than other stores - prices are competitive. I have found the customer service is very good and all staff have been helpful with me. Sometimes they are busy, but they will always help once they can. I had a defective monitor and it was returned and exchanged without issue.
Great place and great staff. Had to return a laptop due to dead pixels and they gave me the option to pick one from a different brand. Would recommend 10/10
Friendly staff that are generally pretty knowledgeable and not pushy. Good selection of hardware and other tech. Been going to Canada Computers since the original College st. Toronto location many years ago. Great to see them grow. The website is relatively reliable in terms of stock but not 100%. It's a good idea to phone and ask to confirm if you see online that there is only one left of something you're looking for.
Plenty of stock of almost anything you’re looking for computer related! Decent prices and helpful staff.
Some of the employees did not know the tech things.
Best customer service! Special thanks to Kevin! Was having a terrible day because of Best Buy delivering me a damaged product! Explained the situation to Kevin and he spoke to the manager and they blessed me up. They are 100% better than best buy for computer parts and customer service!
Knowledgeable and helpful personnel However I could never find very good deals and sales there. Just because this is one of the only places that I can find all the products that I need I always shop there. You're going to still find good sales online sometimes. As I said personal there are so knowledgeable
Knowledgeable staff but they seem to not show any emotion. I think they may only express feelings through emoticons. Line up across the store with only one robot helping while four other people were plugged into their own screens not helping. I don't appreciate the restocking fees for returns either. Though I am glad this place exists for information/service I am often frustrated by some of their methods of business.
The only true computer shop in Niagara. Woulda been 5 stars if they had more selection but 85% is better than all else
Bought a cable here, paid with cash and lost the receipt. Turna out it was the wrong one, and t hey wouldn't exchange it. I'm not trying to scam you Canada Computers. Clearly don't care about their customers, and got no sympathy from the staff. I will be taking my business elsewhere in the future.
Had issue with 6800xt. Has some quality issues. The manager took care of everything and I have a new card. Amazing customer service.
Good pricing, helpful staff. My first stop for computer things.
They don't provide warranty on anything past a month. Which for peripherals is completely nonsensical. I suggest buying something like a keyboard, mouse, or speakers, at literally any other place so that if it breaks down you don't have to worry about sending it through the mail and trying to deal with the warranty of, say, a Taiwanese company in the case of my Filco. I have worked in retail selling computers before. Pretty much everywhere you get a year on any electronics. That is -by far- the customer expectation. NCIX is too lazy to just switch up a dead keyboard bought a couple weeks ago. Like I said, if you can, buy your peripherals at literally any other place. You'll thank me in the long run.
zero person wait line and empty store, they locked their doors and i still have to wait 15 minutes to be let in the store. no wonder people like big box stores more
Not a great time to check out products, since there is limitation on the number of people in store, the staff would expect you to already have something in mind to purchase or fix, before going in, otherwise, they press you to leave without letting you asking any questions on the items that you might be interested in. You should definitely make sure you've already had place the order online, or something you want to fix before going there. Might come back after pandemic. (P.S. The middle age guy with glasses really has attitude issue. Not only I have experienced that, but other negative reviews here as well. It could be nothing to do with pandemic, and be something else entirely.
Nice location and free parking. They recently took away the isle with TV's and the place seems a little smaller now.
These guys use to be good until it got to Curtis (manager) & Steven's (video card manager) grey head. Save yourself the BS & avoid those two like the coronavirus. Go see Jordan, Tyler or any of the amazing guys at Memory Express. You will thank me. Memory Express cares about their business. Canada Computers ~ Curtis & Steven do not!
Absolute worst experience i've ever had in my life, and it all goes out to canadacomputers for lying to me saying that my card was "NOT" billed even though they billed me twice. Never coming back here, i am now $800 out the drain because you guys have the worst customer service, trying to get a hold of you is like trying find a celebrity's phone number.
COVID-19 return policy does not make sense. I tried to return a phone screen protector that I simply opened the box to check the size ( not removing it from the packaging). When I went to get a return for an exchange, they would not accept it due to COVID-19 because the box had been opened. It is very inconvenient. Buyer Beware.
I've had a GPU on backorder since early January. Unlike other locations, employees here refuse to give any sort of updates regarding the customer's position on their waiting list nor anything about supply. Yes, there is a global hardware shortage. However, that does not justify their inability to check their waiting list and (at least) give their customer a vague understanding of when the product might be available.
Matt was very nice. Thank you Matt for fixing out computer for free.
Great staff who really know their stuff. Bought my first machine from them last week and looking at a second this week as I was very pleased with the advice I received.
The interior is very outdated. There is a greeter when you walk in. They have a lot of stock available. Takes 2 people to cash you out though, so you end up waiting a while for service at the counter.
Generally good prices, but won't order things from other branches and everything on the website has a lot of shipping. If they don't physically have what you need, you're done there.
Helpful sales staff and no problems with picking up orders I placed. They don't have much in store as it's probably meant to hold orders for people so shop online first.
This is definitely the best computer store in Lone, I haven't found any place with better prices. They have been at this location for a while now it's somewhat inconvenient to get to. But for sure the pace to get if you need parts or just to buy a computer.
Staff are very helpful. There is a large selection of items at gray prices. Deals go on regularly so it keeps to check online ahead of time. There are touchscreen displays there to browse their inventory and find what you are looking for. Very enjoyable to stop in and see what they have in stock. It's difficult to leave without buying something however.
Great guys! offered me some info about a preorder that I didn’t get elsewhere.. appreciate the honestly and information.
Always a great place to find those specific computer components needed to build your own computer. Very knowledgeable staff and helpful with any questions or concerns you may have.
Customer service was excellent. One of the reps was super helpful and made sure that my problem was solved. Thank you so much!
I worked here for about a year as a CSR. I was paid CSR wages but I also performed some tech work. I waved it off at first since the experience was more valuable, but the longer I worked there it became clear that exploitation of employees was a common occurence. Anyone who handles GPUs in that store has very likely scalped at least one. This is especially true of the employees who have worked there longer. On the 3000 series launch our assistant manager was caught selling the only two cards we received on ebay, despite a lineup of more than 20 people who waited overnight in the fall weather to get one. You can lookup "Waterloo Canada Computers Scalping" and get more info. After that, the managers and employees would get their friends to buy the cards. Because the employees knew the measures taken to limit cards to one per person, it was very easy for them to get their friend/s to acquire one. Besides that, we would frequently sell open box items as brand new, lie to customer when selling extended warranty and protection plans and deny service and responsibility until a) the customer gives up or b) they escalate the issue to corporate. While I actually worked here, there was a lot of bullying and verbal harrassment. One of the sales associates, Tommy Fang, repeatedly made rude comments about my job performance in earshot of customer and colleague alike. When I raised this issues to management I was brushed off. I believe this person has since been promoted as the manager of a different store. Very frequently employees would share their distaste of customers and coworkers through personal messages. Overall, a very negative work environment. It wasn't all bad. I learnt a lot about consumer electronics in a short span of time, assisted many customers in finding the best solution for their needs and worked frontline retail during a global pandemic which was a valuable learning experience. I would like to shoutout some employees who were exceptionally helpful and kind to me. Supervisor Andrew, Brent and Goran, Brandon and Tom I have made mistakes while working here as well. However, I have not been able to reconcile the past due to the lack of professionalism and exploitative work conditions I was exposed to. I'm writing this so I can move on without developing an alcohol addiction.
Coming from a lifelong computer builder and programmer, this is the only place I can find new relevant components and people that understand them! Great service prices and selection.
they often have what you may need. this is one of the few computer stores in london and It has come in useful when i need something that you couldn't pickup at staples.
Great selection of products, bought a lot of parts from them. Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, definitely going to keep shopping here. I highly recommend if you're looking for a computer store to go to.
Service is fantastic, even if prices are a bit high.
I like the store it the waits are abit numbing. They need to put more staff on and help better.
Helpful and knowledgeable staff, out together a parts list for a desktop PC for my son.
Go in there with any issue, and the well versed staff will take the burden off your hands and swiftly resolve it. More than just a chain tech store, everyone is extremely helpful.
Placed an order for an rtx 3000 series GPU on the 17th of September and have been waiting to get it. Called in on the 22nd of October to be told they won't give any more updates and that they will call me when its in, I said fine and waited. Was getting a little worried as I was 4th in line and haven't heard anything since then so I tried to call them and couldn't get through for the past few days so I called the customer service line and asked. According to them, my order was canceled on the 28th of October, which is news to me because I didn't cancel it. And because I can't call the store, I had to have customer service send an email to try and fix it. Go to the one in Cambridge or Hamilton, the people there actually care.
I don't know why Google Maps says this locatoin is permanently closed. As of December 29, 2017, it is still open.
Staff are very helpful!! Found what I needed very quickly
Staff was very polite and helpful. Unfortunately they did not have what I was looking for in stock
This is usually my go to place when I want a new computer. I had them custom build one. I should have looked closer at the specs because I realized they used the cheapest mother board available after opening it up. Ever since day 1, I kept getting blue screens of death constantly. When I took it back to them to look at, they blamed my antivirus software and some games I had installed. They recommended a full reinstall of windows to fix it which I did not want to do. So for a full year, I kept installing driver updates hoping that would eventually fix it, which it did not. Recently I discovered that there was a bios update that fixes compatibility with certain types of ram and that did the trick. Turns out it was a compatibility issue with the ram & motherboard they had chosen.
Helpful staff and good selection! Best shop for pc parts in Oshawa in my opinion. Bought many parts here and keep going back, definitely recommend.
During Covid times, the curb side pick-up is really well organised. The only thing that makes it 4 stars is the service. The blonde woman who looks like the manager of the facility has a weird attitude towards the customers. She looks like she doesn't like her job unfortunately. I was pretty happy with my purchase overall.
Best computers store in London ON. Knowledgeable staff, great prices. Can't be beat. :)
I came in to look for some components for my build, Tyler was very helpful and knowledgeable. Went to the service desk and LeSang helped me out with a few parts that I'd damaged and some great advice. Will come here again.
Staff is friendly and well educated. Great range of products, everything you could need!
Canada computers (Cc, henceforth) is one of a few tech-retailers with physical presence, and the Etobicoke store is very conveniently located across from Sherway Gardens -- where the movie theater used to be years, or even decades, ago. Selection is great and prices are relatively competitive -- but with IT you should shop around, and they will often match prices. Staff are very pleasant, courteous, and informed. COVID-19 related regulation prevents customers from browsing, but easy pickup is available. Great experience. recomme.md
It is not much to look at but most thing you can look online, I had better service at the Burnaby branch.
The experience in the Metrotown location is not quite good. I was looking to buy a audio aux cable and trying to ask for help in comparison of different product, but the staff just gives a vague answer and did not even look between the two products. He also rush me to make a purchase even I have another problem that needs to be solved. Instead of helping me out, he just keep asking me to search google. I'm thinking why don't Canada Computers just put a PC or iPad at the storefront to let people google it, instead of hiring a staff that cannot help out customers. After that, it took me 2 minutes walk to a store next by call memory express, the people in ME is patient and professional, they had helped me solve my cable problems. I don't recommend other customers coming to CC, just take a minute walk to ME, which provide much better services.
Great knowledgable staff, very quick and efficient service, only complaint is that the staff it's self looks a bit hipstery which I don't like but my computer can basically perform rocket surgery now so whatever.
Staff was very helpful and knowledgable
Have a decent selection of anything related to PCs, willing to price match and incredibly kind and helpful!
Great place to get your computer fixed.
Really great selection and prices. However, every time I visit, the staff are unfriendly or they're just awkward. I have not once been greeted in the dozen+ times I've been here and the sales associates/cashiers just kind of stare? I tend to shop here when the price beats Best Buy and I know what I want, so I'm in and out as soon as possible. Not really worth it though because Best Buy price matches anyways and the shopping environment is far superior to Canada Computers.
Amazing store and outstanding outstanding customer service. Make sure to look online and or call ahead if you’re looking for a specific part to see if they have it in stock. Sometimes the site has it listed as available/unavailable but then the opposite in store. Just a wonderful store all around. 10/10
Just put in an order for a 3070ti when there was over 5+ in stock. 5 minutes after the order got cancelled for a lame excuse (there was more orders placed than cards received). How can a computer company thats been selling gpus, that know Bots buy them to have this kind of a glitch happen. Called support, deleted my account and last time ever i use Any canada computers. Did not even offer to put my name on a waiting list.
Best place to go for SD cards Staff are friendly and helpful.
Awesomeness clean and safe and great place to get what you need
Small selection compared to the Burnaby store. Didn't have the product in stock and ended up with an alternative. Was unable to even look at the product before buying. Almost no floor models to see. Staff seems less knowledgeable than expected. Seemed like only a few actually knew anything about computers.
Not the best experience today. I purchased a 3080 graphic card back in Oct 2020 for my son's new computer build. They called me today to pick up. I understand this wait time is outside their control but I was surprised they told me I had to pay an additional 225 dollars because the price now increased. I find this business practice not honorable since I paid full listed price 6 months ago. I have purchased several thousand from Canada Computers over the last few months but I will take my business elsewhere for future purchases. Taking advantage of good customers during this time of the pandemic is pretty low.
Great covid policies, staff are friendly and helpful. Online pickup is great. A+
It's very rare for me to leave a 5 star review but when you walk into a store and ask for something and the attendant runs and grabs it for your asap and knows all the tech specs that's when you deserve the 5 stars.
I went here to buy computer parts to build my very first PC. When I got to the store they were out of stock in pretty much everything I needed. I ended up paying 300$ more because they gave me more expensive parts. I went home and build my …
The only good NCIX in Vancouver. As with every computer specialty shop, make sure you know your stuff because the staff may not.
I just finished up being helped by their service technician Leo, and what a pleasant experience it was. I brought my computer in as it wouldn't start, and he was able to diagnose the problem and go above and beyond with service. I really appreciate the company's direction and won't be shopping anywhere else.
Bought a new headset that worked for 3 hours. If I'm able to get a positive response from CC when I go and return these headphones, then I will change this and comment on my return adventure.
Is was fine. But the prices a little bit more ????.
Great place if your in a bind and need a local place to buy computer parts
The best place to check out of your building a PC or wanting a new laptop. They offer financing if your credit score is okay and have an income. Good service good stock and will order if out. Tv's there seem to be expensive. Best for laptops tablets and other hard to find tech.
Reasonable prices, great staff, fast service.
Horrible experience the CX rep gave me the wrong advice went back to due a exchange the manager said he has to charge me a re stocking fee . I was like "buddy train your staff first" people will come for their competitive but won't come back after their refund policy
The service here is poor at best. Prices are good but that's really all you have to look forward to. I've been there a few times and every time I've left feeling a bit jilted. As for my current experience...I ordered something in store because they told me they were out of stock but had it in the warehouse. I was told it would be at the store with in one to two days and that they would call me when it got there. It's now day 3 with no call back. I called them but even tho they are supposedly open til 6:30pm - no one is answering at 5:25pm...it just goes direct to voice mail no matter if you choose sales or pick up. So, I'm stuck waiting another day for my product and looking forward to not having to deal with this place ever again.
Good friendly service. Reasonable prices
Great service very good very good people very helpful with highly recommend them great prices too
My first time visiting here, and it was really a great experience here. Im happy with my purchase, and the custom pc i build is just smooth.
As a Small Business Owner finding solutions in a timely way is very important - I had a computer issue come up that would directly impact my clients/business day. Stephen, Alfonso and John came to my rescue. They went above and beyond to help me solve my issue and reviewed everything carefully on the phone and in the store to ensure I got what I needed to get back to business at The Business. Thank you guys for your help. The equipment is running smoothly.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff !!!
Amazing customer support and service, very helpful and quick, Mark took less than 10 minutes to help me fix my new PC
They always make me use their hand sanitizer (which I don’t mind),but it always leaves a sticky and gross residue. Poor customer service as well. Went across the street to Memory Express, and way better service. Get some real hand sanitizer if your going to make your customers use it.
Great range of products, excellent service. You can find all sorts of computer related things and even put a tower together with the specifications you desire. I recently bought my new laptop from them, a few gadgets and left my husband's laptop to be diagnosed. I've got pretty good discounts for boxing week.
Pretty good place! I bought my computer (had it built) here once upon a time. However, stock is low as of now and the staff seem to want to get you out of their hair quickly. Pretty good, though.
I had a dilemma in which I needed a large amount of data recovery from an old external hard drive mostly all .jpgs of my kids when they were babies. The staff at Computers Canada in south London explained the data recovery process and were excellent in showing empathy and compassion to the importance of this data recovery. The team was able to answer all my questions and explain the risks and no guarantees of success but reassured me they would do everything in their power for a successful data recovery. They kept me in the know as they proceeded with the process and was able to complete a successful transfer of ALL my pictures and files. I would 100% recommend this location for data recovery services.
Good staff i liked what i saw and auggest others take a look at this place.
One of the best places for buying computer parts. They will price match. Staff is friendly.
I bought my computer on this place and recommend a lot.
Knowledgable staff and they offered up good recommendations for alternate Products that were better deals from sales they had on.
Had a good experience here recently when I needed a new SSD. Walked in and the first employee I saw was so engrossed in watching television on the big screen, he didn't even notice me come in. Then, the first guy I actually talked to obviously doesn't work there because he's a people person. He was obviously annoyed at the interruption, and told me there was nothing in my desired price range when I could see at least two brands I knew of that were less than $100. Anyhow, his older coworker stepped in and saved the day, pointing out a good SSD from ADATA that was in my price range, that also had great specs. He answered my questions thoroughly and offered tips for making it last longer (SSDs don't last like the old spin-drives, regardless of what many people will tell you). I could be a dick and give a crappy review because of the poor start to my visit to the store, but we're all bound to encounter a bad apple or two now and again, and the fact is at least one person was able to get the sale and make it a good experience. In fact, I've bought my current desktop PC, two Fiio music players, a badass CPU cooler, and three SSDs from here in the last few years -- always have the same luck with regard to service.
Wide selection, friendly staff that was ready for the holiday season. I suggest this store or newegg.ca for your computing needs.
Would not return same item different color
Great customer service
Worst experience.
2080 ti vs 2080
Quick, cheap, awesome.
Great place to buy/ build your gaming rig they have friendly helpful staff and great deals
The employees are very intelligent about this field that they work in! Gasp! But in all seriousness, they are really good at what they do. They help in whatever you need, and don't try to sell you the most expensive product, but try to find the best deal for you. I like this place quite a fair bit.
Better than the Tiger Direct that they replaced. Lots of good stock, good pricing and great to just drop in for some quick impulse purchases or needed items like memory cards, cables or drives. Well most likely get a pre-built system from there in the near future.
ood location and high quality services
Don't buy anything from their online store, they are not able to process an exchange in store if it is defective.
Was a little annoying to wait outside, but no fault of the store. Amazing service as always.
This has been my go-to electronic store for years. Cheaper than the big box store or the on-line places. They don't push their in-house warranties and they have all sorts of small accesory items that the big stores just don't carry. They often have more for sale than what is on display so check out their website before going there. I love this place!
Great selection and fair prices, as competitive as Amazon. Their return policy is lacking but they at least take back defective products. Staff is friendly but they never answer their phone, even when the store is not busy. I tested this in store for giggles.
I felt that the staff were distracted but friendly enough. The products for preassembled desktops were overpriced, I was simply overwhelmed with the layout and products and lack of staff support.
The selection and pricing is good - when you're not helped by someone its a tad off... Also purchased a pixel warranty on a monitor and after I her placed my card 8n and paid - I was informed I just bought a 30 day warranty.... Brand new Monitors should not have any dead pixels and should be returnable in that period without a restocking fee as thats only a defect if its the amount of dead pixels the manufacturer covers.
Large selection that is rarely seen in store
Staff was very helpful.
Good to buy from, prices are close to most other shops. Just do your research on the products yourself before you go.
Davinder was very informative and asked all the right questions to make sure that i made an informed decision to purchase a webcam. He also went a step ahead to check competitor pricing. Clean store and nice variety of demo units to test out products. Will come back again ????
- Horrible "race for product" practices without an ability to place an item on hold for even 20 minutes or purchase it over the phone. Rushed to the store twice already only to have a customer in front of me purchase the last item. All the 4-5 people behind me were also left empty handed. - No ability to place a backorder over the site or phone, forcing customers to come into the store and wait in line outside because of covid restrictions. - Unhelpful customer service representatives: every specific compatibility question is met with a reluctant "let me look it up" and coming back without a clear answer. I have not seen a proactive assistant once at this store. - No returns policy on most products even if the product has never been opened
Great selection with great prices, unfortunately the customer service is non existent.
Excellent service and quality from start to finish. Walked in hesitant because I was looking to build my first gaming pc, but Lance Wiffen the senior technician did an amazing job of walking me through the various parts I would be needing, all tailored towards my needs. He gave a genuine unbiased review on many options and allowed me to pick what I wanted, which made the experience personal and not pushy or sales driven. I also had the pleasure of meeting the district manager Sean Lee who ensured I was well taken care of and in the right hands when it came to my first pc build. All in all, I walked out with a very clean and professional built pc and I couldn't be happier.
Great selection for enthusiast. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Amazing customer service, highly recommend buying computers and parts from here !
A wide variety of computer and electronics. A great store.
Staff were very helpful in picking out parts for a PC build, very happy with the recommendations. Was also pleased with the service when I came back in to order a product from another CC location.
great selection of tech stuff and helpful staff
The clerk i got wasnt too helpful or knowledgeable...had to ask manager for other insights and options available for my build...the clerk said he had 15 years experience but didnt know how to use the in house computer to see what stock was available at their store...ended up finishing my build at memory express up the street-they were a great help and left no stone unturned in trying to help my needs..memory express gets 5 stars in my experience with them.
The Prices are great, and its a Great addition to Halifax for the Gaming/Computer Scene. I Have Built Computers from components purchased here and most of the staff are Friendly. However, I Waited 45 Minutes at the counter for someone to help me just to buy a stick of ram, and had someone push ahead of me and get the attention of someone to purchase their ram. I ended up walking out after waiting, was not impressed at the service. 45 Minutes and was not even acknowledged... Edit: I have updated my review because in the 5 times I've gone in since this occurred, and have been acknowledged almost immediately!
This place came recommended to me as a local business, which was appealing to me. I needed a new laptop, so I went in and was helped by a friendly person, and left with my new laptop, a lenovo ideapad. When I was setting it up, it said that there was only 10 months left on my warranty, which was really weird for me. When I would install a program, it would give me an error, then install it anyway, and later I would get weird glitchy errors when using the program. The camera also made it look like I was in a fog bank. It was super blurry. The webcam on my 5 year old mac was far better than this one. Needless to say, the laptop didn't meet my expectations and I recognize that this isn't the fault of the store. I eventually left the store with a full refund, but the person that I dealt with negated everything I said was wrong with the laptop. I explained the warranty issue, he fiddled around with it and showed me a date that reflected the date that I actually bought the laptop, which is fine, but I know what I read and it clearly said the warranty only had 10 months left on it. I looked up online that lenovo computers can have errors on their warranties and that some people have to call the company to reset theirs, so I'm not the only person this happens to and I'm surprised that a lenovo dealer such as Canada Computers isn't aware this issue and would just deny my statements. We couldn't recreate the errors that I was experiencing with the programs when I was in the store either, so that was denied by the customer service person as well. When I mentioned the webcam issue, he opened that up too, and I became worried that it would be crystal clear or something and make me look like an idiot since none of the other issues I was experiencing at home could be proven in store. Luckily, the camera was incredibly blurry, just as I said it was. The person helping me said, "Oh, well that's because it's pointed right at the lights." I explained that this is exactly what was happening at home and that I didn't have this sort of lighting in my home office. I need a decent camera on my work laptop since videoconferencing is kind of important nowadays. I'm not really sure why everything I was concerned about had to be negated in such a manner. I wasn't even actually told that they were going to refund me, so it felt like I was being told that none of my concerns were real, which suggested that I was going to be stuck with the computer. I wanted to go to this place because they are locally operated and rather than going to one of the big box stores, I thought it would be good to support this business. Instead, I was told that none of my issues were real, but it was also explained to me that I can just take time to troubleshoot all the problems. I just don't have time to figure out problems with a brand new computer nor do I enjoy being told that my issues are not real. Someone in line while I was waiting to get into the store said to get my money back and go somewhere else. I think that was good advice. It's a shame though because the initial customer service was great.
Was able to do my online pickup and the card is good but overall disappointed. The card I was buying is being heavily scalped and nobody bothered to confirm my name, ID or order. The staff were rude and wasted about 5 minutes trying to sell me some kind of "line skip" for $90 so if my card broke I could buy a new one right away? The card I was buying had a 4 year complete warranty, not sure why they are trying to sell me something useless on top of the card. The rest isn't completely directed at them, but CC does not answer the phone at any location and does not have a working customer service line or email. Also, staff are various locations are definitely scalping cards right now. I've checked out cards before and got a confirmation email, but never got my pickup email. Honestly, just don't business with CC unless you're desperate to get a GPU. If it's a part you can readily get, buy it literally anywhere else. Your purchase is safer elsewhere
Matthew the manager was great, really good service.
Good service and helpful staff
Terrible customer service I had to go and grab a video card quickly and the store was about to close in 30 minutes. I had to stand at the glass table waiting for some one to help me seeing they don't allow people to grab what they want themselves. Some other customer comes in with his PC in his hands and out of no where a employee comes and helps him right away and I'm still standing there waiting with five minutes left I just gave up and left. I love building me own PC's and I loved TigerDirect before they closed I wish there where more PC shops to go to so I can buy new parts but I'm stuck with these guys. The employee that I dislike the most and treats me and even my friend the worst is the Asian guy that works there but it only takes one crappy employee to dirty up the rest of the team fire him and ill come back to continue spending money on thousand dollar PC parts.
Been to a lot of CC over the years and some times the employees are just not friendly or helpful, but that's not the case here. Every single employee was knowledgeable about the products they carry, where they are in the store, and what the products do. Especially Enzo, who helped my friend build a PC. 10/10. Would recommend
Didnt have what I wanted, had to find someone to help me.
this business and 2001 Audio Video should be locked down for ever before you buy stuff there make sure you ask them about return policy many things you can't return there at all once you buy them or they will charge 10% restocking fee but they will not tell you that until you ask them very bad customer service they didn't price mach with their very own same store the item that was purchased 1 week earlier I will never step in their door again.
They had everything I needed and the staff were friendly and very knowledgable. Overall, the store was very clean and modern and had lots of items on display. My only complaint is that it's a little hard to find things without asking due to the size of the store and the absence of labels above the aisles.
Friendly and fast service. Prices seemed fair. Let's hope the hardware I bought is as good.
Looks like they took over the location of the former (and bankrupt) NCIX. Service was friendly and prompt. So far a positive beginning for this new company taking the plunge into the higher rent computing/electronics retail market. Some of their pricing mirrors that of the former NCIX, being able to beat out prices of other stores in Metro Vancouver and even online entities such as Amazon.ca. I cannot speak for their online order and fulfillment.
Couldn't be happier with the staff
Knowledgeable and they don't try to sell you on expensive brands to make money. They are informative and know what they're talking about. I've seen good prices as well.
Great staff and very helpful
Worst customer service ever. I called in asking about Ethernet cables and the guy on the other line didn't want to let me know if they had the item, didn't want to let me know the price and kept insisting that this was a prank call and did not take me seriously. I know maybe the field of work you are in does not allow you to interact with the opposite sex-- ever, but just because a woman calls in asking for a product does not make it a prank call as hard as it may be for you to believe. It's 2018, get with the program. And maybe consider getting someone with actual customer service or even the minimal of human interaction skills to answer the phone would be a good start to a dying obselete business.
Have ordered stuff online and have shopped in store, great prices helpful and friendly staff, and great selection of products in store, also on their online store
The selection of products is second to none and I can always source what I need. However, the customer service has declined since its smaller location back in 2007. No one greets with a smile and I've received contradictory information from different staff asking the same question. If it wasn't for the product selection, I wouldn't be going anymore. In fact, with Best Buys new computer setup, I may be going there first for my future purchases.
great place to go for computer parts or a new computer related accessories they know their stuff and they have a wide selection of products available for you to pick from.
Good service, good return policy, lots of sales and selection. Don't go in dumb though, research online for a good price versus convenience factor.
Excellent computer and electronics store - so glad they expanded to the east side of Oshawa!
Nice people. Extremely limited stock. I would imagine it is all online.
So, I've been having power issues with my PC. My anxiety led me to believe there was an expensive problem with the PC it's self. I didn't purchase it here, but brought it in to to try remedy this problem. The tech started it up, and diagnosed the problem, or at least ruled out other problems. They didn't charge me for simply plugging in their software to do this. Which, for a student, was an amazing break. The biggest thing, is I didn't feel like an idiot when they were going through this process. Which, 90% of other computer stores will do. I'll definitely be taking the rest of my business here in the future.
This is by far my favorite Electronics store for so many reasons. Be it the excellent layout and displays with computers you can try to the well informed staff and the great demeanor I cannot recommend this store enough. A special shout out to their employee Enzo is warranted as he has consistently given me the best advice of the many experts I have talked to and helped me unbelievable with 3 computers builds. Thanks Enzo and the whole team for being awesome.
The folks that work here are very helpful and knowledgeable about everything that relate to computers. They helped me pick out a proper PSU and a proper cooler for my PC upgrade so my system wouldn't underperform and overheat. Very satisfied with their selection and the folks that helped me.
Usually have tons of products in stock and staff is very friendly. Would be a better rating if they could pick up the phone here. Tried for 5 days to get ahold for information and couldn't get through, trying various times during the days. Got a confirmation email and text saying my curbside is ready only to get to the location and have to wait inside and go in for it anyway.
Great staff! I love shopping here for computer parts.
If you're looking for any gaming or streaming equipment then this is the place. Would leave 4 stars because of the long lines but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because it was the day after christmas. They have all kinds of stuff like gaming chairs, rgb headsets, high end mics, monitors and so much more. Highly recommend.
Got bluetooth speaker, when i opened it, it seems like used one, returned it in an hour but the salesperson suspect that i did it something, very disappointment to visit that store
5 months later, still waiting on an RMA and cust service just gives me the run around. Useless support team once they have to liaise with manufacturers. Honestly, use Newegg.ca or tigerdirect.ca because Ncix has gone downhill. RMA# 453329, since October and counting.
Really great store. Big selection, helpful staff, and nice prices. The only one bad thing is that there are not many products on display at the actual store front. That problem is easily solved by the website. Other than that, great store!
Great service
Helpful staff. Quick in and out. Good quality, lots of brands to choose from
I ordered a number of items from NCIX online, however Julie from their Web Order area informed me that the MS Arc BT Mouse that I had ordered was no longer available but that a newer version was available. Once I "okayed" the order, she handled everything, ordering and mouse and handling payment processing. She also informed the designated pick-up store to hold my other items beyond the standard 5 day holding period. Julie also provided updates of when my mouse would arrive. She answered my emails promptly and was super nice to deal with. Thanks Julie.
Nick is awesome, helped me pick out everything I needed to build my own PC. Answered all of my questions even IF they were stupid.
Best PC shop in town. Knowledgeable staff, excellent customer service. Only complaint is the parking lot, in a busy strip mall with farm boy and chapters so parking can be difficult sometimes.
very disappointed. I purchased a lap top, they said it was processed and sent to be shipped from Richmond. A week passed and I had still not received the lap top. We phoned, however no one would answer the phone. We emailed and days later received a response saying the item was sold out and they would not be filling the order, even though I had paid fully over a week ago. I am not impressed at all! I will never buy anything again here! I ended up buying the laptop from Costco.
I have been a huge fan and frequent customer of Canada Computers for the last more than 20 years and have always preferred them over the service, selection, expertise, and pricing of the big box stores. However, at the time of writing this, during the December - January provincial COVID lockdown, I’m thoroughly disappointed with the response of this location. Not only does their “curbside” require the customer to enter the store, which is illegal, they do not even have NFC tap/Apple Pay available or even hand sanitizer for customers who have to enter the store to pay. Management at this location can, and should, do so much better for their loyal clientele.
The store layout is pretty aesthetically pleasing. Blue uniforms are pretty nice but they kinda look like Smurfs. One time I bought a mouse 10/10 great quality. After I finished buying it I went out into the parking lot and grabbed my snake out of my car. He'd been asking for a snack so I finally feed him my fresh mouse and he starts choking there right out in front of the store. I was stricken with panic when at that moment the manager came out and gave my snake the heimlich maneuver. After he coughed up the mouse he wasn't breathing and I got so scared but the manager also gave him cpr. After 3 solid minutes my boa was back to normal. Truly this is the greatest computer store in Canada. † God Bless & Amen.
Honestly, go walk across the street to Memory express. Canada computers is not only withholding GPU stock for 3000 series to only use for pre-built computers. There's no price matching and there's no returns or exchanges at this time. They blame covid-19 for everything bring final sale. This is the only electronic store that has everything as final sale. I'll even go as far and say best buy is better. Just avoid only go here if it's your last resort.
Won't get my builds done anywhere else. They take pride in their cable management work. Unlike some stores, they actually know computers.
Fast helpful service
Quick and efficient. Even had someone help carry out the TV.
Good place to get computer parts.
Nice store. Helpful staff, if you need that kind of thing, pricing is hit and miss.
Love this place got my TV wall mount here and there's so much more I want to buy. Great selection on everything electronic Stop here before you go anywhere else. Best Buy was selling the same TV stand for 129 99 I got mine for 29.99. Highly recommend this place
LOVE IT!!! Finally a real, Canadian owned computer parts store with great hardware and competitive pricing. Just picked up the TP-LINK AC4000 router, best price anywhere, including Amazon and eBay...so I was very comfortable to spend my money there.
Friendly staff helped me find what I needed. The store is well stocked and organized.
I went in there 4 times over the course of about 10 days. Don't take their advice. Period. I talked to several different people over the course of about 10 days, to help get me the best computer for the money. I told them exactly what programs I run and exactly what I do with my computer. So I took their "Expert" advice, and they hooked me up with a 1 month wait to receive a useless computer. I spent $900 to replace my 5 year old, $600 computer, and now I'm having to sell the computer they sold to me on Craigslist because it's worse than the 5-year old $600 computer I was trying to replace. The worst part is they held the computer for me in their store after I bought it (because I was waiting to get a video card installed in it) then when I finally got the computer home and realized it wasn't capable of anything, they told me they couldn't take it back because it was purchased over 15 days ago... Yeah. 15 day return policy for $900, even though they had it in their store with them. My final recommendation to you guys is to not take their advice. Do you research online, and save money buying your parts from cheaper online stores. Then pay someone $50 to set it up for you if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. NCIX is a scam. Very unethical business practices.
Good prices, great selection, knowledgeable staff.
They have A lot of stuff... but they were not descriptive about the product I wanted to buy and forced me to get multiple add-ons My verdict: just go to best buy
Best service of any CC stores I've been to by far.
Excellent service ????
Terrible service, bought a computer from a separate canada computers and in less then a month the OS crashed. Unfortunate but it happens I called the store I bought it from and was told I was under warranty took my computer to this location and was told it would cost 80$. Less then a month and they won't cover the defective product. Absolute garbage service I will not be returning here.
great service from nic and edwin
A great little electronics shop that's always had exactly what I'm looking for, helpful staff, and great displays or stock that's fun to just walk around and check out.
I don't why everyone complains about the level of service, they are computer geeks after all dealing with people is not exactly their forte. That being said my experience with this company and finding the parts that I need in store are usually more often than not readily available if not suitable replacements are in stock.
Great customer experience. They had quickly prepared and confirmed my item for purchase prior to me making a trip out of town to come and pick it up. Thank you CC&E Oshawa!
Very helpful staff. We told him what we need. Showed us the options. Will recommend this store to my friends
Great selection, staff could be a little more friendly though ;)
Other ncix stores have a much bigger selection and stock
I'm not pleased with the way they're handling the current conditions. All items are final sale, and if you place an order for in-store pickup, you'll wait in line outside the store with everyone else (including those waiting to browse). Combine that with requiring a 50% deposit for waitlist items. I appreciate their occupancy limit and social distancing encouragement, but other stores are also managing this and offering much better services - curbside pickup, separate lines for in-store pickup, regular return policies.
Very clean and they take social distancing seriously. Everyone was wearing a mask and let only so many people in. Even with all of that we got great service and found what we needed within minutes.
Walmart always has what I need. Good prices
Absolutely great place for buying electronics & computer related products with reasonable price and quality , always experienced excellent service done by the entire team with customer satisfaction.. we have been buying stuff from them for our personal and professional needs .. highly recommend to save time & money by Shopping here
The best store for Computer parts and electronics. Priced fairly with constant deals. Friendly staff and knowledgeable. All you need for your PC and electronics experience!!! Located opposite of Sherway Gardens North side. Plaza also has Subway, The Captain's Boil and a nail salon.
Very helpful staff. I will continue to shop there.
Completely useless. Their warranty is a joke. Employees know nothing about what they sell.
I'm rateing this 2 Stars only because I bought a key pad and when I went to return it cuz I couldn't use it the store said we're not taking any returns that have been opened because of covid-19 Shoppers beware simply don't shop here as these policies are far to rigid and simply outrageous. so I'm stuck with the keyboard I can't return I only opened it look at it and found the cords were too short but they still wouldn't take it back I didn't even use it
I took my fully functioning laptop into their shop to have the keyboard replaced. It was a minor issue, but worth fixing. They powered it down for me it has never worked since. They fried both the Motherboard and Battery. Eventually, they shipped it off to head office. It would not boot up and the battery was dead. They called me to let me know it was working again and wanted to know if I still wanted to replace the keyboard. I said yes, they said it would be back in 2-3 weeks. Almost 2 weeks from the last call, they called me again. We have determined your battery is dead, it will cost you $90 to replace and it will take another 2-3 weeks. I told them that they should replace the battery since they broke it and why wasn't this looked at 2 weeks ago when it initially came in? They will get back to me. I am still waiting for my laptop to be returned and will never go back again. Be aware of shoulder shrugs, double talk, and stalling tactics if you take your computer in to be fixed. Go else where.
So much better than the NCIX that used to be in this location. Always helpful and a much better selection.
Decent in store items, very friendly and accommodating staff.
Excellent and knowledgeable service. Would recommend
Went to the store to order some computer part. was advised by one of the team members that i cant order alot of parts due to the line up they had so she advised me to order online. NP. ordered online and spent over $2500 i have still to receive my confirmation email and its been 9 days since order went thru. iv also paid extra to get my shipment sent in 1-2 business days iv spent 2hours waiting on hold for a customer service rep for them to hang up on me when i call back its just hangs up the call! this company is a joke DONT ORDER ONLINE!
About 20 ppl in line for rtx 2080. Website says 4 in stock, and 1 left by the time they opened the door at 11 am. But first 2 ppl still got theirs. Asked where the other 2 went? The girl/lady said 2 ppl came the night before and put their name for the 2 cards, she mentioned the stock came that night. How? Why the 2 ppl didnt just buy the cards that night? Is that mean the store employees were saving them for themselves? Or friend, family maybe? Some of them got there 10 am (store open at 11) incuding manage4, none of them came out asking or telling us about stock # on the cards. Could've told us so we could just go home.
Where else is there these days? Would be nice if there were some competition.
Solid store but prices are kind of high on prebuilt machines. More focussed towards gamers and custom builds and repair/replace
They have alot and really good stock at good prices. The staff are really helpful and will help you with all your needs there
Went in to ask how much a pre-built computer would cost, the rep quickly showed me and then suggested I build my own. Gave me an estimate in minutes. Great service and game helped me save some money with instant saving!
So glad to a location close to home. Staff know what they are talking about for a great gaming PC
Decent store, for staff it really depends who you get. Computer store staff aren't the most social people, expect get answers just may take some tooth pulling.
Great selection, and most of the staff are excellent! Had one of their employees "talk me out" of buying an LED lit charger cable for my phone because they believed such a feature to be a waste. Even after I explained that I was aware that the feature would slightly reduce the rate at which this kind of cable would charge my phone and assured them that this didn't matter to me, they insisted that I shouldn't get that kind of cable and were to apathetic to determine whether they carried such a cable... This sort of person should not be allowed to operate in a customer service role unless their supervisor can successfully teach them not to force their opinions on their customers...
Absolutely outrageous. Ordered something last week, have yet to hear from them on any status update of the delivery (I'm picking up at the Vancouver Broadway location). After I made the purchase, an email quickly came telling me my payment was approved and such, but not to reply or contact them as they would send me another message to say my order is ready for pickup. Week has gone by with nothing so I called the 1-877 number to inquire. They tell me my order should be at the shop and that they'll transfer my call to them. Lost the call connection... twice. Thought it could be a technical issue, so I called the Broadway location directly and they hung up on me... twice! So they processed my money transaction in a flash and now are unreachable. Still have no idea where my order is. Great job guys! I'll be sure to tell everyone to stay well away.
Excellent service anything u want
Really enjoyed going here unfortunately during these tough times of the pandemic they are the more difficult. However when I came in to do a backorder on something, KRISTIAN, was very helpful and really lightened the mood in terms of the environment we're currently in. This guy really knew his stuff and was a good help and just overall excellent service. Thanks Kristian!
The cord I needed costs $60 at Walmart. It was $20 here!!!! Staff was friendly and helpful! I will be coming here first from now on!
I just start off by saying I do not work for Canada Computers or have any relation with it. Canada Computers is one of the Top computer stores you can goto in London, it's way better (and cheaper) than BestBuy, The Source and other shops, they give you almost the same price as anything you will find online, there staff has alot of knowledge and is very good at what they do. This is the only place I will goto in London for computer parts.
The best service even if we did just get a quote 10/10 would go back
So this review in particular is with my experience with Enzo and all I can say is wow. He helped me for upwards of almost 2 hours to get all the parts for my pc. I wasn't able to get a GPU but that wasn’t his fault just simply the times we …
They are really kind when they are selling you something. But god forbid you get a lemon because you know, it's electronics ???? Then, you're are on your own!
Not bad
Great selection for low end electronics, I did however had to track down the employees who were just standing around chit chatting.
Friendly staff! I haven't been inside the location but for an online pickup yesterday, it was a nice experience. I like it when staff demonstrate great customer service!
Good store deals and good selection, although you may find some "Brand New" on sale but turns out to be open boxes that are resealed. Also some staff don't know much about the product you're describing, such as not knowing what a 2.5" hard drive is? and keeps giving me 2.5" SSD's. Its best to know what you're looking for and not relying on the staffs unless you don't really have a choice.
Staff is pretty good at helping. Internet pick up is quick. Parking can be tricky on Broadway.
I had my RAM upgraded, Nick was super helpful and fast! Good customer service all around.
Must visit once before making your purchase at any other electronics store...
Knowledgeable people and excellent service. I have visited them at least ten times during the pandemic due to the increased demand of technology to work from home. I was always helped adequately. I mostly ordered online and it was ready for pickup in the next couple of hours. I did not have to wait long in queues for pick up. When I had to build my desktop, the staff guided me to the best of their knowledge. My PC is very stable and fast. I am happy that I bought a PC from them instead of buying an expensive preassembled machine from Dell. Staff tries to ensure safety of everyone by following provincial guidelines.
One of the biggest Canada Computers I have been to. The selection is pretty good and the website corresponded to the inventory. I asked for my item to be put on hold and it was, without a hitch. It's a bit difficult to access by transit and the store itself was a bit dusty / some display items we're broken (keyboard key missing, dead pixels). All in all, it was a good shopping experience. I got my item at a fair price compared to the price-gauged internet options and the staff was nice.
Dream place for pc lovers. They have everything you can imagine
I am not tech savvy in terms of selecting equipment, and I wanted a basic desktop set up that would be suitable for everyday use. The staff member (it said Corey on the receipt) helped me pick out the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and processor in full with their opinion and suggestions based on what I told them. I'm really happy with it after using it for a few days. I would definitely return back there for more suggestions.
Very friendly customer service!
One of the few brick and mortar comp stores. Still around . will informed staff. Would recommend.
Good stuff
Staff reached out to help. Smiling and happy working fellas
Nice stuff ...... attentive staff
I love stores that are packed with electronics and all sorts of things that a person wouldn't have known was needed. ???? The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and the prices are fair.
Sell defective equipment and tecs have no idea how to fix it.
Best computer hardware prices and the quality is as good as you can get anywhere else unless you are looking for something really specific. Check their stock online before you go in as the place is often really busy and it helps to know …
Parking is a bit difficult to get to sometimes especially when it’s busy. Paid parking in front of the store but that’s not available 3-6PM Store is about the same as any other Canada computers. Much easier if you reserve online and then pick up in store
Mostly friendly and helpful with customer service But .. but there's always an oddball in the pile
No one picks up the phone at this store! Also the guy who “fixed” my laptop literally didn’t fix the problem...
They dont even answer the phone
Helpful staff, but they could take the pickle out of their posteriors. The salesperson's attitude talked himself out of me upgrading the graphics card to a 4k streamworthy because evidently he thought I couldn't afford another $400. Rest of the staff was very nice and knowledgeable, and as such I ended up spending an additional $800 in accessories. Missed the Black Friday PS4 deal, but what can ya do.
Great costumer service, specially from connor, he was willing to help all the time, I really recomend the location at broadway!
The staff were very helpful and service was quick for such a busy location. The online ordering system sucks but staff in store made up for the poor online service. If ordering online and picking up at the local store it's best to call that store with any questions about your order because the online system will not be of any help. You'd be lucky to get an order confirmation ordering online.
Store feels a bit like a warehouse. You'll likely find what you're looking for, somewhere on some shelf. The quality of the products is fine, and the prices are ok too. The customer service leaves a bit to be desired, with reps being a little unfamiliar with many of the processes when it comes to returns, or price changes. The cashier area is also a bit confusing when the store is busier, as there is no clear indication as to where you should be lining up, or who will be available to help next.
My husband practically lives here! He often finds great deals on the parts or equipment he needs.
Helped alot for someone that doesnt know alot about PCs. Helped me build a pc that did everything I needed it to
Pretty good prices and deals. The service is great too, very prompt and helpful when I have questions. Having the option to pick up an online order in store is quite convenient as well.
Super friendly staff. They were quick and precise with helping me purchase and fix my computer. Best electronic store in Ontario
Great store, great prices. Service department techs especially know their stuff. No dis' to Best Buy, but these guys are better.
Little pricey but a job well done
Good selection, BUT, I don't think you could find worse sales staff anywhere. Constantly talk over my head even when I tell them I don't have their knowledge. Inattentive ... 2 of us were standing 20 feet away from 3 sales staff who were just checking their phones and laughing over memes for over 3 minutes while we were waiting for someone to get us an ssd drive on the other side of the counter. After my brother in law hollered and asked them if they were on break they decided who should come over to us. Rude and unfriendly. Who hires such losers?
Just got my new video card and power supply there, not bad
Great people. They know their stuff. I had a question about memories for my desktop and I got multiplple options. Too bad they don't fix devices from Apple.
The staff is amazing and super helpful. I went in there fr a laptop and the guys helped me out and got me what I was looking for. I go here al the time for parts when i need them for my pc build. They know their stuff and I trust their word on parts they recommend.
My goto computer store for the last 5 years. Very good selection, okay prices, good service.
Knowledgeable staff. Large store with small store feel.
Great prices for the best product. Staff has more knowledge that you could ever need!
Always fast and knowledgeable.
Amazing selection especially for cables, adaptors and parts, and prices way better than anything in Best Buy/Staples. I go here for everything.
Excellent service, they helped me walk through all of my requirements for the specific PC build that I needed and to find a solution that fit my budget. Then they built it the same day! Their prices are also quire comparable to places like newegg.ca, and the labour for building a PC is minimal. Highly recommend.
Great Technical knowledge @ the service desk...diagnosed & fixed the issue in no time..reasonable rates for repair too... Good job Cody!!
A great selection of computers and accessories. Knowledgeable staff and competitive prices.
Everything is fine but the only issue is "no return" really!!!!
Canada Computers Oshawa has the best service, selection and prices I have ever found anywhere. The time and effort taken by their employees, the person who answered the phone and Matt regarding a new power cable for an old laptop with specific needs, saved me lots of time and money. (Knowing that the wrong recharger won't recharge my computer battery and can damage it saved me a bundle.)
An outstanding computer store. It's so great to have a shop like this that's not a part of a big box store. A great selection of PC's Laptops, tablets at competitive prices. If it's computer related and they don't have it in stock I'm sure they will be able to order it for you. Weither you're a hardcore gamer or average computer user a great place for your computer needs.
What can I say, I've been shopping here since I was 16. From my first build and all the purchases I've made, the staff at Canada computers has always been willing to help me and tolerated millions of questions. Awesome place to go for all your pc needs etc
Really nice place. I got my 3080 suprim x there just waited 31 days. They have a really nice guy there. Really thank that guy told me not cancel my backorder.
Great friendly service. Needed to replace my CPU cooler for my ancient computer, they grabbed me a couple old one's that were lying around free of charge. Awesome.
Nice computer store. Good staff that are knowledgeable about products and services in the industry.
Always get awesome service from these guys...this is the place to go when you need anything. They can cater to even the tiniest needs! Really pleased and will be returning for more purchases!
Great stuff in side! Walked around for 30 min was not ask for help. Besides that its a great store!!
They had "SOME" stock of nvidia cards that website said it had zero. Thanks for the 3090 ;)
I'm Josef. The short Italian guy. Have to say I do work here and our staff is amazing. We're always getting more stock in! We have daily deals! (Disclaimer don't quote me on this from a year from now, my phone kept asking to rate Canada Computer's so I figured why not), not the owner, just an individual who works in the IT field, as well as Canada Computer's is one of the best places. Don't be afraid to ask us for anything. We're always stocking and keeping up with the demand. I love the customers, staff, and the service centre has very experienced Techs. I'm grateful to learn which is what we consistently do. If you passing by, please just check us out. Very good company. 10/10.
Great store. They offer a great selection of computers. Canada computers also offers a large variety of computer parts and accessories. Good prices. The staff is helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable.
I'll never go back to St. Catherine's location, I'd rather travel the extra mile go to Hamilton location or different computer parts store. "Cashier: Jennifer" that's what it says on my receipt. Most unfriendy person you will probably meet. Can't say the same about other staff at this location because the person who brought me my order was extremely polite.
Helpful did not shadow me around the store and annoy me like the first time I visited one of there stores.
My favourite computer store for many years now. Good prices, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly staff. In my opinion, the best computer store in Vancouver. Highly recommended!
Fair, but Tough to work with in this locked down environment, but still my local go-to for computing parts. Knowledgeable, helpful staff
There is a very negative attitude in this store from the manager down. Do yourself a favour and go some where else.
Great service. Friendly and helpful staff.
Friendly and knowledgeable service! We were served by a guy named Bronson and he was incredible. My girlfriend and I were shopping for a heavier duty laptop for her upcoming school program, and he was super patient and helpful, explained exactly what we need, and gave us some good, honest recommendations. We made the purchase right then and there (originally planning to hold off but we were pretty much sold). Just got home and booted it up and we're super happy with it. Thanks guys!
Chadwick took care of everything I needed. Really appreciate his help with my new pc. Paid a good price for what I got and all my questions were answered. Thumbs up ! Thanks alot !
Helpful staff, reasonable selection and they do business credit accounts. If you want something specific, or a large quantity of anything, call ahead because they have many stores and might be able to source it from one of the others.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great prices and excellent customer service!! Always an awesome experience!!
Great staff friendly. One stop store
Great service!
They didn't have what I wanted but they were still super helpful.
Go here for your computer stuff. Great staff.
So many different choices. Easy to get lost. But friendly staff
Very helpful, I spoke to the them over the phone and they were able to diagnose the issue with my computer, save me from getting the laptop serviced and found me the cord I needed since it was rather hard to come by considering I needed a Display-to-HDMI cord since I have a business-grade PC Price was reasonable, store was very clean and organized and there were lots of employees available to assist me. 10/10 would recommend!
Was driving by, saw your OPEN sign is flashing all lit up only to find out the store is closed and opens at 10.
Great people, great help. This is where I had my computer built, and they have been wonderful.
This is a decent store, u do get stock of most things but just check website for quantity on this location before going or call their number
Fantastic service. Cody was especially helpful and very quick to help me find the parts I was looking for. I'll definitely be back!
Horrible customer service. Cocky attitude. They seem to love waste your time asking to come back any other day because they are lazy enough to fix right there in the moment the mess they created. Complain to manager? Don't even bother, they don't care at all. I got the screen of my laptop replaced with a second hand one but they wanted to charge me the price of a new one. There were scratches and glue clearly visisble from a prety botched job but they insisted it was new, WTF!
I have purchased two refurbished phones and one brand new one from Canada Computers as well as two refurbished laptops. With each of these I have been sold excellent quality items at a great price. I have tremendous loyalty to them. Why someone would go to Best Buy and pay more is beyond me. Plus they are Canadian.
Excellent place if you want expert and custom computer parts or products
I admit I'm not an absolute computer wizard, I know things about computers but I'm not perfect... When I needed a new PC I was going to go to best buy but I stopped in here at first... And man oh man am I glad I did!!! They looked at how I use a computer + My budget +their sales and what best buy was offering and found me a machine that blew my old computer out of the water!!! They found me exactly what I wanted and made it super easy to shop with them I still can't believe how great a deal I got!!! I've decided here on out they are my one stop shop for PC stuff
Always helpful, knowlegable and professional. Best selection and prices for computer parts with a refreshingly honest sales staff.
Nice store and friendly staff. 100 times better than NCIX ever was.
(Translated) Good but the price is high (Original) جيد ولاكن السعر مرتفع
Helpful staff but overpriced tech, ask in store but search for better deals online once you know what you want.
The staff here is always fantastic and very helpful to find everything I need. And they always seem to have good stock even during the whole pandemic. Great to have a local shop to run out to when you need parts in a hurry
My go to place for most of my electronics. Great staff the best prices on or off line. Dont wste your timeJust go straight there
Had to go here a week after ordering some parts for pickup via their website. I went because when I called to check on my parts apparently some parts were sold out and I wouldn't be getting them ... surprise! So I scrambled to get equivalent parts that cost an additional $275 on what I should have paid ... And I'm STILL waiting for the rest of my order to come in. Oh, and the sales person neglected to ask for my membership number - so no points for me ... Had to go back into the store to deal with this last insult to customer experience.
Many empty shelves but they're so close together. The flooring and ceiling look to be in complete disarray. It is really quite the eyesore. That being said, the staff are always very friendly and helpful. Often times, the prices aren't much better than competitors but when they run deals, they're really good. Website stock count is accurate and actually updated throughout the day.
Any business that repeatedly avoids answering the phone all day is not worth your time.
This location has changed in the past 7 months. It was my go to store for service and product .My last two experience were somewhat less than positive. Quoted $100 to install a battery in my laptop (I was providing the battery, their suggestion), the Vaughn location installed it for $25. Also was looking for a docking solution, counted 9 associates on the floor, not one of them approached me to ask if I required assistance.
Came in to get my sons new computer all weird up and it was completed within the same day. Outstanding service on the crew their!
I purchased a Dell monitor from them, I was told it’s new and it seemed like pin packed. Today I got to know they sold me a refurbished monitor. Be aware of thr people in this store. Triple check things you buy. Didn’t expect this in Canada. I won’t recommend Canada Computers to anyone! The store I went was in Etobicoke. Always go to Best Buy!
I went in with a computer in mind, the sales fellow (I’ve forgotten his name because I have a terrible memory) was super helpful. He suggested another PC that would be comparable for what I would use it for and would save me a couple hundred dollars. So far so good with the new computer. Friendly service.
I've purchased a 4K computer monitor from here and am very pleased with it; the price was a good deal (got it on sale). Also picked up a keyboard and mouse for a fair price. Most recently, I bought a laptop which is a perfect fit for me. Great prices here; I'll definitely let my friends in the area know about this place. My new go-to for anything PC related.
I went in this last Thursday with my boyfriend and we had the pleasure of dealing with Raven who is an absolute superstar! Incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond in helping us secure a 3070ti in store! He made our day and we left very happy. Not all heroes wear capes.
Excellent customer service, fast shipping of the part I needed. Will definitely shop here again.
Friendly and helpful staff sometimes
Amazing customer service! Jade that works there is a super nice guy. Will definitely be going there for any questions I have.
Gotta echo the experiences listed I a lot of the other reviews - staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Sounds like a simple thing to ask for but it doesn’t happen as often as you’d expect!
It's the only place I use for my computer shopping, great staff and clean stores.
im a regular customer for this location and even recommend it to my friends...i bought gaming pc parts from this location last aug19 worth $1.6K+ using my credit card. today aug22 went back to the location to move the purchase from credit card to flexiti card which i just got card approval yesterday (to take advantage of deferred payment). i thought that this is a routine task for them. however, the super-for-the-day (who acts like he knows everything and smarter than anyone) said this is not possible. he said, i should bring back all the stuff i bought just for him to do the process. one wrong statement he said is that bestbuy use their own card but actually, bestbuy use fairstone finance...anyway, not happy with this person...so i will just avoid buying my stuff here, better go to amazon or other store...hah...so frustrated...
Canada computers Oshawa is one of the best computer stores in town, everything is well organized and the staff are super helpful and well informed
Doesn’t pickup calls?? How do you even contact the store. Absolute rubbish
Slightly overpriced comuter component store with knowledgeable staff
Usually an okay store to deal with however during lockdown they're order picking times are absurd. If you need to order something for pickup I suggest another store. Super slow.
Very clean, well organized, and competitive pricing. They do price match / lowest price guaranteed (10% of the difference) with other Canadian companies such as Amazon.ca and Newegg.ca. A wide variety of products to pick from and hassle free return / exchange policy.
Good place for computer parts.
They've now sold me 2 computers that have become defective within 6 months, the first they exchanged with ALOT of hassle. The 2nd time I left the store after being told O cant get my money back and now have to wait over a month to get it fixed by the manufacturer, effectively putting me out of work for another month, possibly risking me even getting hired in the first place. The guy told me to take an Uber to go get it fixed!!! I would recommend going somewhere else. This was a really disappointing experience with a company I wanted to support and gave the benefit of the doubt to. What a nightmare this has been.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, although would be better to have more cases in display rather than cardboard boxes
Terrific store. I purchase personal items and my work purchases through Canada Computers as well. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and will spend a lot of time with you answering questions. Sometimes the store gets very busy and I'm sure people take that as poor customer service but anytime I have needed something, the staff jump to help; if I don't require help they leave me alone.
Excellent store, helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Great place and staff. Wish they had all the stock.of the bigger stores
Quiet, laid back atmosphere but these guys almost always have what I need cheaper than anywhere else.
Very helpful, and friendly. had an amazing selection 10/10 would go again.
Had an awesome experience with Tristan. Helpful, patient, and accommodating. He really tried to get me the best deals and never made me pressured for time.
They rock !!
Great shop and better prices than most big-name shops
Unprofessional
Fantastic service. They had some issues with their home office server but helped me as much as possible. Great customer service.
Emailed them about how I wanted to build a PC and received amazing service from them. From the start to finish I received great communication from the sales rep Taylor and the other employees. Highly recommend this location to anyone looking to build a new PC
Best computer store in town, bar none. The most selection of anyone anywhere. The best prices of anyone, anywhere. And they'll price match just about anything. My only gripe is that warranty could be a little better on some items, but it's …
always helpful, i keep buying there for my online sales, just had one bad experience :** THEY DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE as quickliy ** other than that i am satistied.
If they are affected by covid they need to tell people this when you’re making a purchase online and to expect delays who expect quick service. I get an email after I’ve made a purchase that says they’ll get my stuff ready right away. Says they are open 11 to 6 but they can’t answer the phone or at least have an automated message for callers to let them know the situation. Poor customer service.
This is a recommendation for an outstanding employee named Joshua Tran. If the service in general is anything like the one we received over the Christmas break from Joshua, NCIX is a great place to buy a computer.Because of Joshua's outstanding service we are NCIX customers. He ensured we had the custom configurations we needed and if there were any oversights, he personally ensured our needs were met - to the extent of emailing user friendly instructions to add additional memory. Attentive service that shows NCIX is paying attention to it's customers needs.
Great selection of parts and prices, but experience ruined by rude staff that are clearly on commission and extremely vender biased/misleading. Know what you want, and deal with the staff as little as possible. Had a staff member laugh at me and question how my PC even boots up because I was using budget RAM sticks. EDIT: review upgraded from 2 stars to 5 stars. The new manager, Andrew, is very nice to work with and he actually cares about the customer. A very refreshing experience compared to former managers that have worked there.
service case# 449792, service charge invoice# 9538149, service tech: Nic Tamura (you have my husband cell number) that's the guy you'll be speaking with Said it would take 5 days to figure out what the problem was with our computer that wasn't working. Didn't call didn't say there was a delay. Called them again on the 6th business day only to hear them say there was a huge backlog and hadn't got round to it yet and it would be done tomorrow. Wasn't happy with the answer, should have communicated better or get the job done. Didn't discount or do anything to mend the issue so asking for a refund and giving it to the nearby PC store that has 4.8 rating and will fix it same day. Thanks a lot for wasting a week of our time on our main home computer! Highly unprofessional and lousy customer service and well as not getting the work done in time. service case# 449792, service charge invoice# 9538149, service tech: Nic Tamura
Great place to get pc stuff after NCIX close down.
Pretty good deals but I had to do a complete reinstall of windows to get the computer working properly. Not what I really want to do with a brand new computer.
Great service from them. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
Staff is always willing to help, though the actual store front is small and oddly arranged. While prices may be a bit above other nearby computer stores (*cough atic cough*) the staff is far nicer, happier, and knowledgeable. If your a novice, newby, or just have a few questions this by far is the preferable place to go... You'll be glad you did!
I was sent from the Whitby store to this one after the power supply that stopped working was already ready to be replaced at the Whitby store, after meeting with the customer service Rep at the desk he proceeded to tell me that I could not get the new power supply as this one is not defective even though it was ready to be returned at the Whitby store and I was sent to the Oshawa store to get it replaced. The worst customer service that I have ever dealt with I will never go to that store again and I feel bad for the guy who has a manufacturers defect part and they need to return it. NEVER go to this store, the people are useless and rude. Especially the guy at the service desk at 130 April 7th 2016
Extremely knowledgeable staff, excellent prices, quick to get items shipped from their other stores and I love their new location!
Great service and prices
Long lines and super short staff
Necessary cables and pins can be found here
Rock bottom pricing. Dont expect great service. More for the nerds who know what they want. Not that service is bad, its just not the kind of place I would send my Mom.
Always a fan of Canada computers. Knowledgeable individuals help bring clarity into purchase. Also, proper recommendations are made when someone notices if a conflicting issue may arise or hardware that may benefit more while being mindful of your budget. I've been coming to CC for over 15 years and it is always consistent.
Love NCIX. Get all my parts there.
Great place to get some great deals. I love Canada computers. There shipping is cheap too.
Bought a motherboard for my PC from here. When I purchased I also purchased their extended warranty, which they said that if there was any issue I could bring it back and they'd exchange it for the same product. A year later my PC is having some issues that I narrow down to being an issue with the motherboard (every other part worked perfectly in my brother's PC.). I take the motherboard back, and the manager claims that was never their policy and that they would send it to the manufacturer to have it repaired instead. Annoying, but it was my best option. I get a call a week later saying they've completed their testing and that there is no issue and it won't be sent to the manufacturer. Great! I take out my temporary motherboard I had borrowed and put mine back in...still broken. It probably sat on their shelf for a week and then they gave it back.
No one answers the phone at Vancouver Broadway store, Pick up or Sales option, during regular office hours. Now that's poor basic service!
Went in to buy $2500 worth of PC components, as they price match amazon. Manager was unwilling to believe me that amazon ships anything over 35 dollars for free, even to non prime members. Ended up ordering from amazon instead.
4 stars because they just aren't as big as some other locations and pricing has traditionally been much higher than online (overhead, right?). Selection and variety are excellent and it's great to be able to see a ton of cases and keyboards in person. They stock a dizzying array of storage and memory options and even have a nerd or two on staff to help with questions you might have.
I've been going here since they replaced NCIX. And so far the service and selections are really a strong point. The staff greets me whenever I come into the store and asks if I need any help. And the way the have the store layed out is very nice. The have most of their products on display and they have a healthy amount of demo units layed out.
Awesome! Great service! Sam is the man! They are very helpful and knowledgeable.
Amazing experience! Will be back for sure!!!
The covid lineups can take 15-20 mins to get to the front of it, so be prepared for a warm wait on hot days. Note, there are no lines these dayd Service is excellent once you get in!
Thank you for fixing my computer so quickly xo
Drove all the way from burnaby to be told that the items that I reserved 30 minutes before were now sold out. Mentally incapable staff
First time in this store and I was unsure where to find anything. I was interested in two items in particular. I wandered around and did a circuit of the store, then was approached by salesperson Anthony. He was extremely helpful showing me floor models of computers I was looking for, looked up other products in inventory and answered all my questions. I'll be purchasing next week and Anthony will be the reason why I will buy here. I would have given 5 stars if someone had offered to help earlier or even just greeted me when I came in.
Great Service and patient and very diligent about Covid Protocols
Great service! I walked in and was greeted by an employee. Told him what I wanted to buy and he directed me to where they were. It was very quick and I will be shopping here again when I need to!
They have a great selection of products are really good prices. Advice from the staff is dubious, they aren't knowledgeable able all products, but they pretend to be. I wish they would just say, "I'm not sure I know enough about that, but let's go ask this other employee who is our resident expert on those" or something like that. Maybe their commission structure doesn't allow it, but I've received and overheard some demonstrably bad advice at this store.
Good staff, reasonable prices. Sign up to be a member and you get newsletters with good deals and a points system that's well worth it if you're spending here regularly. Their prices are almost always within 5% of Amazon or Newegg and it's worth supporting local stores so most of the time I'll get things here.
Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. They build the computer and ready for pick the next day.
Save your money and go with someone else. Would rate 0 if I could. Bought a monitor and found out it was defective. Brought it back 6 hours later to be told it was "Physical Damage" and that I was SoL and to deal with LG directly. LG rep was stunned to silence. Took down store info. I wish I could hear that call when it happens. Wife and I are both decades long IT professionals who are asked by many people who we trust to shop with. Guess who I'm no longer referring and actively deterring people from spending money at lest the also end up robbed.
I spend around 2.6k CAD on a graphics card here and it's like they don't care about either the graphics card or my satisfaction. They've got the knowledge and skills but again, they literally don't resolve things unless I go there in person. I know it's covid and all but the ONLY way to have any contact with them is to actually go to the store (ironic). They don't respond to emails regularly and have been instructed to not pickup calls whatsoever. Probably the last time I'll ever buy anything from here. Maybe take a few things from Memex's books (like picking up calls).
Was in today (after standing in corona line up for an hour and a half in the freezing cold) because I wasn't able to ship a pre-built gaming computer from the Canada Computers website. I was greeted politely and optimistically, which is awesome with everything going on right now. It had been a long time since I had built a gaming PC and was out of touch with what new components would work best. Craig helped me through the whole process, helped me decide which components I should use and how they would all play together, while staying near my budget. I asked him to give me a 30 second run down of what the headers on the motherboard were, and he explained clearly and told me any other info I would need concerning lighting and fan controllers would be in the case manual. I put it all together this afternoon and it runs great! We did forget an exhaust fan, and a fan cable splitter as the motherboard only has two system fan headers (see you Monday)!
Helpful staff lots of cables etc
Prices are often reasonable, if you don't want to wait for shipping from other places. The biggest disappointment is service. Apparently the only thing they can do locally for laptops is software. If you suspect a hardware issue, don't bother with this place. I was told, that they would ship my laptop to their head office in Markham, which would lead to at least a month waiting time. Why do you even bother advertising laptop service? If I wanted to ship my computer anywhere, I would ship it to the manufacturer. I wanted to have the job done locally, but the only thing they did was to charge me $45 for reinstalling the system... Waste of money. EDIT: On a plus note, the guys helped me by re-sending the invoice. ASUS rejected my receipt (lost too much color apparently...) and I got a new invoice which allowed me to get my computer's warranty updated and secured the repair at the manufacturer free of charge. Thank you!
In-store shopping is very covid friendly. Have an employee help me the entire shop, making the purchase quick and efficient. In n out!
The store is definitely improving with their Customer Service. Compared to other locations, this one is fantastic. James is a knowledgable guy and helped me choose my graphics card.
Thanks Mike! You turned a negative experience somewhere else into a good one. Had you not stepped in, this build would not have proceeded! See you soon.
Reasonably priced. Helpful Staff
Well, they're closing now which is not a surprise, however a worker here was super helpful woth doing some magic with my order to allow me grab my stuff the same day from online order pick-up. Though if you think about it, it should've been the case in the first place... Well, to Amazon we flock!
Staff are knowledgeable and accessible! This is my go-to store despite not being in my neighborhood - such a difference from the Grandview location! Didn't even have to wait longer than 15 min on Christmas Eve - they do a good job with limiting customers for covid procedures. Happy to wait, but never kept waiting long!
It is a small computer store in Kingsway but it is good service
I bought a computer case here, they have a good selection. I also returned for a tp link, I like the fact you can check the in-store inventory on their website and its accurate. Good service, I will return for my computer needs.
i remember buying stuff online from the site years ago, when i found the store it was a happy day. great prices possibly cheapest than anywhere else and really good and helpful staff
I purchased a good ASUS laptop from this location but they never mentioned they don’t do any laptop repairs at this location and I was referred to the Whitby location which also doesn’t do repairs and then sent to Markham headquarters. Beware this company does not provide service locally. I am now waiting one month for a reply after paying a $ 56.49 diagnostic fee and we know what needs repaired. Do not recommend neighborhood friends. Buyer beware.
worst online computer store, they clueless and they don't feel comfortable when someone tried to ask them any question on the telephone Also, their price is not affordable and they never price match any other computer stores, despite their policy mentioned price match I don't recommend Canada Computer to anyone
Clean store with good prices and help
Best prices. Knowledgeable, nerdy staff - like your friend's kid who knows everything about computers. No pressure sales. Way better than the big box.
Excellent service for sure!
Very friendly staff and some of them are bilingual if you're looking for service in French. I found everything I was looking for and the prices were reasonable compared to every other place.
very helpful and knowledgeable staff
We purchased components from this location around one to two years ago. Zane and Neeraj addressed our needs and recommended what we needed. They considered price, brands, and necessity. We are very pleased with the computer to date, and this review is simply based on their recommendations as we haven't needed any warranty or repair service!
Friendly staff willing to explain Tech tips.
Excellent service! They helped me a lot with building a desktop computer for me.
So what I realized is that they don't really hire people who are specialized in computers. Only those who have some interest/experience in computers at best. I bought a pre-built from here, had issues with windows booting pretty much right from the start. Brought it in during warranty, claimed replacing the SSD fixed the issue. But the exact same issue persisted. I was too busy to keep coming in to deposit my computer for 3 days. Fast forward to next year, I paid to have the exact same issue fixed (hoping someone competent could manage this time) -- again they replaced my SSD with a different brand, but again this wasn't the issue. I decided to DIY this and did some research. The booting issue with due to an outdated BIOS firmware with their mother board. Took me half of a day of dedicated time to research this and truly fix it myself by googling terms I've never heard before and familiarizing myself with the tech jargons. I really should have DIY'ed this from the start than to trust their incompetent "tech support" who could only run some basic hardware tests and patching the surface symptoms instead of investigating root causes.
Good prices Good customer service
Friendly and helpful staff.
Great computer store and great staff. The knowledge and support they add to the build process is why I go there instead of shopping online and they just proved it right again. My 3070 had a manufacturer defect but instead of a disappointing RMA process I've got a new card already installed and they were genuinely happy to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. Don't ever get a computer from Best Buy :)
Bought a GTX 1070 here, so far so good. Great deal and great attitude
Knowledgable and friendly staff, with a very wide ranges and a big selection of products! If your looking to upgrade your tech or fix it up its the place to go hands down!
Excellent service, knowledgeable staff. Left there problem solved
this place is amazing it let me play fortnite for like 5 hours this place is tha best
Staff member told me three times that the only way to resolve a problem with a defective board was to buy a new one. Refused each time to look up whether or not I had purchased an extended warranty - which I had. Finally, a manager agrees that I did purchase an extended warranty but says that he has to get ‘approval’ to replace the board. This takes days apparently. From the Canada Computers website: “Tech Care Replace is offered on most individual products within Canada Computers and features a quick and easy replacement on your product. If your product is defective within the coverage period, bring it to any Canada Computers Service Centre location for a replacement.” and: “ When something fails, it can cause a disruption, but our protection plans will get your device backed up and running in no time.” So, turns out that claim is false. Not quick or easy. Went in to ask about progress after several days and staff member refused drag herself to the stockroom to check if the replacement board had come in. Newegg, Amazon, even BestBuy are more interested in customer service. Garbage service from disengaged and unhelpful people. Stay away.
Very clean, lots of stock and full shelves. All employees there were full of knowledge and ready to help!
Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They helped me find a nice computer and monitor set up and the perfect headset. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Be careful about returning things however because they’re not willing to accept open boxes.
Very knowledgeable and helpful staff, and a good selection. Always my first stop.
There's a lot of computer stuff here
They always have what I need and want.
Great knowledge. Friendly service! Russell helped me in making a laptop decision and thankfully he had the patience to answer all of my questions.
Picked up new ram, customer service was top notch and he answered my questions and when I asked if I should go to a more expensive kit for my setup he was honest and told me I wouldn't see any benefit instead of pushing me to more expensive stuff for a better sale. He explained everything about the speeds and took the time to help me get the best ram for the money. Unfortunately I didn't remember his name but he looks like the dude from gamers nexus anyway. Super helpful guy, really an asset to this store.
This is my new go-to place for tech repairs! Excellent service and professional advice. Aaron made time to help me right away with a quick fix while also providing additional resources for when I took my laptop home. I was extremely impressed by his quick work and willingness to help me first thing in the morning.
I can NEVER reach them on the phone. I have tried multiple times on multiple days. This is really annoying and horrible business practice. Whenever I visit they are always understaffed.
Hardware seems fairly priced; service seems pricey. Lots of computers in stock. Buying live is better than the internet; and this is better than the BestBuy experience. Conscientious and eager sales guy; liked him. Tried to sell me a warranty, but easy to say no.
Friendly staff wide selection of electronics, worth a visit if you're searching for anything computer related. They have televisions, and office chairs available. As well as many other things I'm sure.
Canada Computers is a hot dumpster fire do not purchase any of your computer parts from the store they do not obliged by any normal computer store policies. The employees are rude and uneducated people who lack any knowledge about computers and computer parts.All of their employees also lack people skills Most of their systems are overpriced you can find cheaper solutions on websites like Newegg and Amazon. They have an outrageous return policy as well.
2020: Some experienced store managers lately. This store has much improved over the last 2 years. Bravo guys 2018: Unfortunately arrogant and unhelpful associates. I believe this place will close soon 2017: Great location and probably the most effective take over of ex-TigerDirect locations. Staff helpful and enough square footage for wide variety
Friendly staff, knowledgeable and great pricing.
I can't say more good things about this location. The staff is attentive and super patient. Ricky helped me out today when my mom and I went in for an asus zenbook. He was super knowledgable of the different products and patient with us. My mom and I knew nothing about computers lol. And he was super thorough and never made us feel like we were wasting his time although the questions we were asking were repetitive and if i was a sales, I would've been super annoyed with us. Not Ricky though. Ricky was professional, kind, funny, and knew our needs even when we didn't. He didn't push us to buy a more expensive model or anything like that. Just offered one's that suited our needs and made us feel cared for. Will recommend this location to anyone. Ask for Ricky! He is great!
Good place to buy your next computer or parts to upgrade your old one. The store works best if you order online and ship it to your home. The store can be helpful if you need help in ordering something or you can get free shipping to the store instead of your home. Prices are competitive but a bit high on some things.
poor customer service. there is literally no one there and they could not grab a keyboard for me to make a purchase. told me I had to place an order online and wait 30mins even though it shows pay at store option too. I see people walking in and the doorman does not have a proper mask.
I bought a new SSD from this store and dropped off my laptop for an upgrade and windows reinstall, I came back the next day to pick it up, when I reached the car while I was still in the parking lot one part fell apart from the laptop cover. I went back to the store directly, but they refused to fix it for me. I never had a problem with that part before. So, be careful and check your devices very thoroughly when you pick them up from the service department because they could break them!
DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!! I will be contacting the BBB and my lawyer! Purchased a gaming computer and tower with 800$ graphics game card had them install for a Christmas present, did this Dec 10 2017 not even 30 days later 2 weeks after my son opened it up and set up his games we find out they left a screw out of the power supply, graphic card burnt out, no working fans hooked up...just horrible service for the 1300$ I paid less then a month earlier!! Went to them to see how they were going to fix the problem that was clearly on their end, person at desk was rude, didn’t care and could only say to me they only guarantee install for 14 days even after being told it was going to be a Christmas gift!!! They could care a less after they suck you for your money!!! My lawyer is in the midst of sending them a notice for the damages and repairs all from their lack of care and concern!! DO NOT GO HERE! I will see them in court!
Nice place.
I commonly build my own pc's and get my parts from Canada Computers, I built two computers on the same weekend, both an AMD and an Intel Build, My AMD was flawless with not issue, my INTEL I had a few warning codes, I tried for about a week trying to diag the problem. I thought there was something I might have done wrong. I dropped it off for the Oshawa service department to look at it. They spent a lot time but figured it out. There was a problem with the cables from the case. They were fast and kept me up to date on the what was going on, I would like to Thank Dan for all the hard work.
It wasn't busy at all when we were there so a quick in and out.
The place to go for electronics and computer parts. They have good sales to look out for. I ended up getting a brand new 1070ti from them cheaper than anywhere else when the GPU prices were really high. Also their customer support is the best, they always answer your question and often times they are way better and more knowledgeable than calling the actual manufacturer's customer support
Good, friendly service
I went in that store yesterday to ask for the cost and time of swapping and cloning an NVMe M.2 SSD drive and I was told it could be done within hours the same day, for $89. Today I call to have it done, I get told four days ETA and an extra $20 charge for the swapping. So I ordered an enclosure on Amazon and will do all of it myself, for a fraction of the price and time. Please give the right information to customers when they come in your store.
They've got most if not all you will need to build your own pc.. Lots of parts as well.
Not sure what the last reviewer is talking about. The Richmond store has been closed for over a year so if he did get his computer repaired there and broke it a year later then he should be charged again for a new repair. A lot of the negative reviews on here are ridiculous, its a shame they let any moron post a review with false information. I have never had a problem returning/exchanging an item or price matching an item, they have always followed the rules posted on their website, CHECK THEM OUT BEFORE YOU PURCHASE! This store is awesome, only good computer store left in London. The prices are good, the employees know what they are talking about and they have provided great customer service anytime I have had an issue, only downside is they often have limited stock or have to order it in to this location when it is in pretty much every other store of theirs. If they stocked the London location like the others it would be perfect.
The staff is awesome..very helpful..I recommend this as your first stop for any electronics..
Amazing store with very knowledgeable staff. A huge selection of computers, computer accessories and other electronics. I generally find their prices a lot lower than bestbuy. Very friendly atmosphere
Favorite place for computer "stuff".
They don't answer their phone. I called 8 times in the last hour to ask a question and book a repair time but they don't even pick up! It doesn't seem like I'm the only one with this issue.
Awesome place. I bought a corsair RGB ram from here and the employees were super helpful
Unimpressed with the customer service received today. Given totally different information than what was provided over the phone. Was told an item would likely be there today only to be told it would like be another 3-5 days (when telling …
Good prices on higher performance computers/laptops and good selection of computer/audio accessories. But if that’s all I was after I’d have just used Amazon. I was also after good service, and I didn’t find that. If you’re not tech savvy or well knowledgeable in the computer realm, it seems like the staff don’t care so much.
Helpful staff, love the site for browsing and anything available will get shipped if not currently at your local location.
I have been going to Canada Computers for years, and rarely have a bad experience there. Their employees know their stuff about anything technology. They can help fix your computer, or give you information about anything tech. Prices are usually pretty good, especially during sales. You will not regret coming here !
A survivor among computer stores post-Amazon. Well-staffed and full services are available.
The store is decent, but the repair service is the worst I have ever seen. The employee are lazy to do 30 second job, just taking money for nothing, giving the wrong conclusion and taking zero responsibility for that, rude and unprofessional. I've brought my PC for diagnosis, they left a bump on the case and as conclusion that motherboard and video-card are dead and needs to be replaced by the newer generation. That's not true, without repair I'm currently using those all. The manager wasn't helping as well, but at least isn't rude. I wouldn't recommend the store, but definitely would suggest to avoid the repair service! It's money and time waste!
Davinder helped me out when I came into the store to get some computer parts. Very knowledgeable and took a lot of care to make sure the parts I was getting would fit with my existing setup. Highly recommend!
Brick and morter computer store in this day and age? They are doing it right. Look sometimes you can't wait for your parts or even in the case of this store why wait when their prices are equal to even Amazon. They are knowledgeable that they get you exactly what you need. This store is not long for this world as delivery gets closer to same day but as long as they are around I will shop there.
Love this place
If you know what you're looking for and keep in mind this is just a store they're not making things and have to deal with manufacturers as well then it has a fairly good selection and Fair value.
Video cards are final sale. Got a card that runs out of spec and had to RMA through EVGA. Their 14 days return / exchange is a scam. Buy elsewhere.
Good selection except one feels watched at all times when shopping here...
Very clean store well presented staff. I called them up before hand to make sure they have my rca to HDMI connector. Knowledgeable staff A+ customer service.
they do not know how to answer a phone
Trevor is a good help. very knowledgeable helped me figure out a problem. the rest of them i haven't really interacted with as much but they all have good Canadian etiquette
Took my Hp Omen in for a battery replacement June 27th 2021. The technician broke my laptop and sent it to head office for repairs, its been gone for 5 weeks now. I'm posting this August 7th and still no word on if, or when my laptop will be returned to me. Their cooperation provides no one in customer service with any power or information to help the consumer. Its incredibly surprising and frustrating for a company of this size to neglect helping its own employees do their job - I feel bad for the people working there honestly. Most of all I feel bad for me though, no computer for roughly 2 months and no word on when it will be returned to me. Please don't bring your business to Canada computers. ????
I think with COVID the service has gone down hill. We waited patiently for over 30 mins outside their store. (not a problem I get it we all have to wait) only to get the employee that least wanted to be there and unhelpful in every way. We had to pry information out of him for their products.
Walked in & was completely ignored by staff. No eye contact because they were far too intetested in their phones. Will never return.
Don't ever expect them to pick up the phone when you call. I've been trying to inquire about my pickup order which I still have gotten no confirmation email for after a long time and I can't even phone them to see if it's available. Now it shows Out of Stock, so I'm not going to waste my time going to the store. Deciding to buy a PC part at Canada Computers was a huge mistake that I will not be making again. Go to MemoryExpress instead if you want to actually receive your product. Update: It's been two weeks and still haven't heard anything about my order. Update #2: It's 3 weeks later now. Got an email today from Canada Computers saying they've now cancelled my order out of nowhere. Please do NOT shop here.
Very friendly and helpful staff, killer selection and prices way better than best buy. got the connection cable I needed for 16 bucks instead of 39 at best buy.
One of the worst locations for CC I have ever been to, the customer service is horrible with student workers that know nothing about customer satisfaction and general customer service expectations. I cannot find any reason to ever use this store over options like amazon or bestbuy. Suggestion: make damn sure your manager is on location at all times because your entry level employees are ruining your reputation! or improve training!
Under no circumstances should you shop here. Tried to return a Christmas gift with the product intact and the receipt and they refused it because it was missing some cardboard packaging. Manager was disrespectful and dismissive with zero interest in providing even the most basic customer service. Do yourself a favor and shop at Best Buy. These guys are a bunch of thieves.
Little store with small stock. Staffs are helpful.
This is a very large store! All your computer needs are located in one place. Competitive prices too.
Awesome deals
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. They are always willing to help with any questions you may have and will help point you in the right direction for any computer hardware that will best suite your needs.
Bad customer service. Take your device somewhere else to get fixed
Friendly staff,informed sold me
People here are very helpful! Don't know much about computers but they were very kind and helped me out
Much smaller then their Mississauga location, I would say a quarter of the size so not much variety on the floor but if your main goal is to get RAM, motherboards, CPU, they got in store almost all the products they carry. They got the most popular CPU cooler, fans and power supplies too. The place where they do lack is in PC Cases. I don't belive I saw a single on on display like their other store. They got the most popular ones upstocked and in the back, so go in after doing your research. They utilized the small space to best they could. Only thing that is disappointing about the company as a whole is their return policy. Went from the best to the worst. Only items returnable are unopened ones. If your not 100% sure of what your buying, get it from Amazon instead, they got the best return policy hands down.
Rude customer facing service from Svetlana during order pickup. Explaining multiple times in a combative tone that if I lose my receipt I can't return the item because it's like "finding a needle in a haystack" despite it being attached to an online order/email trail. Really hoping I don't have to deal with her if my purchase has issues. Price was only $5 less than Amazon (and $30 more than Newegg, but of course no price match due to COVID?) - will probably order there next time as a precaution even though I wanted to support a Canadian business this time.
One of my favorite places to get computer/gaming components. Staff are always helpful, friendly and willing to help find the best thing that fits my needs.
Sam provided exceptional service and addressed all of my questions with outstanding professionalism. I would recommend NCIX to anyone. Please keep up the excellent work!
Thanks folks for having everything I needed. Great advice and service! :)
Very knowledgeable staff and a good replacement policy. They will help you choose what you want but be honest if its a cheap Chinese product
Great place to buy computer parts and software. They have good deals on new computers with everything you need. They also make custom computers.
This place was great. As soon as you walk in, you can see parts, boxes of stuff and laptops. Keep walking and there are desktops and cell phones. And then shelves and rows upon shelves and rows of parts components and other stuff!!! I felt like a kid in a candy store. Go to their website and you can check their stock before you go and buy it, super handy.
Great store for computers and accessories.
Super place for computers and accessories. Way better than Best Buy.
Staff is friendly and greets you quickly to see if you need any help.
Nice CC, big store, friendly staff. I'd recommend these guys. Best computer store In the city.
Helpful staff but can have long line ups
If you know your way around electronics, NCIX is the best source in the city for computer and technology components. Check stock online before you go and save yourself some time.
Staff were knowledgeable and were not afraid to answer honest questions at this location. Better stocked shelves than the Whitby location.
Canada computers is probably the only place I would consider buying anything computer related. Their prices are competitive and often better than online retailers. I have bought too many parts to count here.
Great spot for everything computers, parts and accessories. The staff are very knowledgeable, and if you need something returned it takes seconds. I would recommend!
These guys were good a number of years ago. I'd have given them 4 to 5 stars back then. However after yesterdays visit, I have found the heart to give them a 2 star for their complacency.
Good selection and knowledgeable staff, but absolutely horrible service. My boyfriend built his computer exclusively with them and Liam was very nice and helpful, made plenty of recommendations and scored a nice 4 grand sale for the store. A week later we had to return the headset and the customer service rep tested it and issued the refund. We headed into the rest of the store to look at other parts and the rest of the store staff gather at the customer service desk to talk about the returned headset. They mentioned it was garbage, everyone has problems with it, they know better than to waste money on it, etc. The great irony is that not one of them discouraged us from making the initial purchase, because... 4grand sale, and one of the girls had even initially commented that she has the headset and it works great. Oh and today, when purchasing a different headset she mentioned she has this one too! Does she just collect headsets for fun? Maybe don't recommend trash products to customers just to get a sale. That's a serious lack of integrity and we'll be taking our next build elsewhere.
Knowledge of people inside remarkable. Do not order from online store.
Best computer store in the region
The place has good service
NCIX is the first place I look for my technology needs (particularly cables). With a massive selection, reasonable prices, and a fantastic Web based ordering system, it is a painless and convenient way to buy.
Not impressed with the service on my lone visit ever.
Very helpful staff
I'm not a huge tech person, but their staff are always super nice and more than willing to help. Even when I describe things very vaguely, they are usually spot on with what I had in mind.
The management and the staff are nothing but good people. If you go in with no knowledge at all, the staff will help you get the job done. The store is very clean and tidy. The place is always busy but under control. Management is in the floor assisting customers and helping staff. It’s a rare thing to see at most places. Good work to the staff and management. I will continue to throw you my money.
Good service, they answered all our questions and the prices are pretty good.
My second home. Most of the staff are very friendly and even remember you! Oshawa location is much better than the new Whitby location which is inconvenient to get to.
I feel like this is one of their bigger locations, and the selection is great! They seem to always have exactly what I need, even when I can't find it anywhere else! The staff are always helpful and their store policies are great. Everything is laid out in an effective way that makes it easy to find.
I went into the Oshawa location and was looking into getting a new graphics card for my computer. I know little about computers but did do a little looking online. As soon I got into the store I was greeted and asked if I needed a hand. The sales associate then brought me over to the graphics card to talk to a gentleman by the name of Mike. Mike is super knowledgeable and extremely nice. When I got there he was helping another customer and he greeted me right away and said he would be with me in a minute. After finishing up with his customer he help me pick out my new card. I asked a ton of questions witch he answered all my questions with confidence! I’m honestly amazed with the service I received from the employees. I’d definitely recommend talking with Mike if you looking for any computer stuff. He even recommended what I should do next to help improve my PC. Thank you Mike
Other than online, this store is about as good as it gets in Vancouver.
Bought a cable from this store for my sons new computer monitor. when installed it was not allowing the computer to boot up. did some research and discovered that these cables can be made to have an extra pin in them that will supply power from the monitor to the computer and not allow it to boot up. took back the cable but had not kept the plastic bag it was purchased in and they refused to do return for a non defective cable. was told that they have to be able to resell the item being brought back. I told them they cant sell the cable because it does not work properly but he said they have to be able to resell the item in order to do the refund. so my advice is stay away from this store. or at least do not buy anything from them that says open box. chances are they are reselling items that have been returned as defective!!!
Most of the employees are rude and stuck up. If you don't know much about a product they make you feel stupid and try to upsell you on something you don't need. Almost always they're miserable and walk away from you when you approach to ask a question. I have talked to some really great employees who are very knowledgeable and helpful but they're few and far between. I know it's a electronics store but they need more training in customer service to make it an enjoyable experience shopping.
Best place to shop for any computer-related stuff! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
Excellent Service & Sales
Always got all the parts you need and most of the times it's more cost efficient than best buy and sometimes even amazon. Good service too.
Great place to get all your computer stuff. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Always a pleasure walking into Canada Computers. Very friendly, and best of all, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.
A gentleman named Jon went out his way to help me out with my computer trouble, definitely coming back for my next computer purchase.
Went in and a sales associate was very helpful in answering our questions and concerns for a new P.C. we wanted I think on it and came back a couple of months later and had the assistant manager helping us out - this guy was all about the pressure sales tactics which ultimately led us to head across the street to memory express and spend our money. Great selection and prices - just not a fan of the pressure sales
spent hundreds of dollars at this store but no longer will i ever buy anything from them again . I bought rechargeable batteries that ended up being defective and they told me im out of luck because they don't do returns on batteries .
Please Update Your Website - Due to COVID concerns, this store isn't allowing anyone inside the store despite indicating the opposite on the company website, a fact I discovered after waiting in line outside for over half hour. For what I'm doing, I need to see the components I'm buying first...good thing there's some smaller, local retailers in town that will allow me to do that.
I once gave this store a great rating but as of late it seems that any parts that I get from the store are defective I've gone through 3 dead radiators from here alone I don't know if it's a shipping problem or if it's just pure bad luck I dont know I took my pc in for a diagnostic they said they fixed it and not one month later its broke again and won't turn on. Theres been other things I've bought from here that have also broken a list that I don't want to get into for my own sanity and to say the least there very stingy about returns and there own accountability there for as of this review I will go there o e more time to see if my pc can be fixed and that will be the last time I do business with this establishment.
Few people are friendly here. The one who helped me was not. He was helping someone before me. He answered all her questions, so I waited. When he asked if needed help. I asked if he could do a price check. He didn't like it. I got upset. The manager helped me and pretended everything was okay. GG. Btw she didn't buy anything. Dude took it out me cause she wasted his time. Canada computer hiring ex use car salesman?
Has great stock of many different peripherals and accessories. Good price range and professional service.
Best pricing
Prices are fairly high, staff were unhelpful, unfriendly and fairly rude. A simple thank you after the purchase would have been nice. A computer building enthusiast can find better service among other shops and online competitors.
Don't expect much. This isn't the first time it's happened, but this will be the last time it's …
They've always had what I was looking for in stock. Staff have always been friendly and helpful when I've shopped in store.
I've visited this Canada Computers many times and everyone is helpful, honest and kind. Mike has helped me several times and I never felt rushed, he's knowledgeable and easy to understand when explaining his solution to your problem. Very few businesses take the time nowadays to help with a smile on their face, it's refreshing to see. Thank you
Don't order anything online with them.
10/10 experience, great customer service i have been helped by three different sales reps Anthony, James and one other gentleman who i do not know the name of. all where very knowledgeable experienced in computer hardware themselves. not trying to up-sell everything they have in the store and very welcoming to a customer such as myself who is not overly knowledgeable in computers
I bought a new tablet which is very easy to use and I use it daily.
I've had great experiences at NCIX. I built my first PC last November and bought everything from NCIX. They checked over my list of hardware to make sure everything was compatible before I made the purchase. The PC didn't turn on properly after I had put it together, and the guys at NCIX helped me troubleshoot and found out it was a faulty motherboard (they tested every component for me in the process). It was great and timely customer service, and I wouldn't hesitate to build another PC with them! I've also made a couple of online orders there, and it's always been a quick process to pick them up in the store.
Fun shopping experience. Better prices than Best Buy Staples and The Source. If you're looking for anything technology related, start your shopping here, comes highly recommended
Love this store, quite fair price wise and helpful staff.
Disappointed with the assistance at this location. They need to have more knowledge before suggesting soemthing different.
I went here to build my first gaming PC. I bought most of my parts here. Hudson asked me as soon as I walked in if I needed help. I told him I wanted to build a gaming PC, and he walked me through everything, and gave me great advice on what to buy, and what to stay away from. A+++ experience here.
Built a new computer on Boxing Day using some parts from Canada Computers and cam actually say that I lived the experience. The line well well managed and the staff were friendly and understanding. On the inside of the store, there was one customer for every one employee. This made it both personal and prevented any theft from this chain which I can totally get behind (as many retail stores lose a decent amount of products on big event days due to shrink/theft).
Apparently the staff of this store don't answer the phone during working hours.
Has a great stock inventory for most computer parts. Staff are very helpful in locating the products that are being sought out and making very good recommendations.
Great place to grab your components for your new build or replacement parts. Can special order and price match.
A great place to buy computer bits as well as the whole package. Staff is knowledgeable .
AMAZING SERVICE!! I was helped (multiple times) by Imran (Immy) - if his supervisor reads this, you need to give that guy a raise and a promotion and make sure you keep him, because he's the best computer help and advice I've ever had at a retail store - and I've been to a lot!!! Prices were good too - Immy helped us stay within our budget and get exactly what we were needing (bought a custom build video-editing computer).
Went there on Black Friday to get info about a computer. The guy told me that when you buy they order the computer in and set everything up which takes a couple days. they didn't take orders on black Friday and I should come back Monday to order. went back today to order it and found out I have to pay them to d0 the setup and install. Disappointed just spent $2000 on a computer and they can't do this for free. 1 star
Always love going here, always exceptional customer service, friendly staff, reasonable prices and plenty of great sales!
Good variety of hardware. As a gamer I found the prices reasonably good comparing to online shopping.
Needed something rather urgently and unexpectedly, and after 5pm (during COVID, no less). Canada Computers had what I needed in stock, and were good enough to process the order I placed online the same day! Got it before they closed for the night, and my computer is up and running again. Super easy to order, very simple pickup procedure, overall super impressed with their curbside experience. Really great staff too. Thanks!
Usually the best prices on computer products and good price matching service. Only downside is their poor return policy, but if you know what you want then it's worth it
Excellent service, knowledgeable staff, great prices.
There are quite a few things I like about this store. The selection of computer parts is fantastic, and if they don't have in stock they can order in. The staff are quite friendly and help quite a bit answering questions. They have display models, offer computer repair, and have a points program. The deals are also very good, I recommend checking the website for deals and calling the store to verify if it is actually in-stock. Sometimes I have shown up, and a product is marked wrong on the website as being in stock. The phone call will save you a trip.
Lots if selection and competitive pricing. Be sure to ask about return policy before buying.
Received help from Joshua at this location and he answered all of my questions and tried to save me money on my custom PC build. 'm happy with the service I received and will likely return in the future.
These guys are amazing to deal with! I find they're very helpful and have everything you need to satisfy your tech needs! Would recommend this store to any of my friends/family :) And have!!!
Good pricing good selection they will match amazon pricimg which is great if you are in rush .
Everyone was enthusiastic and willing to help!
I personally have had no problems with returning or buying items from CC. Pros are nice pricing, reliable products that I can pass on to customers, knowledgeable staff, and a very clean and modern facility. Shipping is regular and I can expect a package to come in within 8 days every time. The only downside is the Customer Service/Online Support. I have tried on one occasion to contact them numerous times, finally getting what I needed done... it was just a big waste of time for me. I have been notified that they are revising their customer service system, and I heartily agree with them.. but while they are doing it, as a customer, It is not very nice having to wait. EDIT: They have fixed their online shipout... and very impressed! Great job and thanks!
This place is brutal, bad advise and poor communication, take the extra few minutes and go over to the Whitby store,
Store was a little tougher to find as I took the bus and the bus pulled me ahead roughly four blocks down the road a short walk back and I found it was able to get what I ordered online and 100% happy excellent store excellent location very friendly and very helpful staff I greatly recommend anyone looking for a good deal to come check out the store or to look through their inventory.
Way too expensive and recommend things that aren’t ideal for your computer - kind of a scam
Came in to get some parts for a PC I'm building and the guy who was helping me was so helpful and overall fantastic. I asked his opinion on some other parks I'm ordering online and he was very insightful. Didn't push any sales on me overall was incredibly pleasant.
Asked about price for an SSD, was told I couldn't get it. Finally got the price, then had to wait 30 min while the only checkout was occupied answering questions the floor staff could have answered rather than not letting people buy their items and check out.
Excellent customer service. I was helped from the moment i walked inn till i left.
It was the only place that had my graphics cards in stock but when I got there they wouldn’t price match any store except newegg and the even weirder thing is that they wouldn’t price match from newegg if the item was sold out! What I’ve been to the Brampton store and the price match from everywhere so I didint really get what was going on but the employees were kind of freindly.
Support local! Great selection, helpful staff, fair prices. Check them out before buying online.
Curbside pickup only as per covid restrictions. Setup at front door works well.
Can’t say enough about the team here. They’re always happy and ready to help, and not afraid to say “I don’t know, let’s find out together” And nobody has ever been pushy in the least.
Quick service, fair priced, easy to get items. No complaints so far
Great staff fast at finding the parts I needed fair price as good or lower then Amazon. Will be back for more for my new build.
Lance was awesome, I had a stripped screw and he got it out immediately and hooked me up with new screws, very fun crew who are clearly passionate about what they do.
love the new store. great for those that want to build their own computer. knowledgeable staff
Still waiting for my computer's
Good
(DO NOT GO HERE) they told me that a simple cpu upgrade would be done by tomorrow it was a week late as well as the cable management it has been caught in my cpu fan so many times and it’s a problem for cooling this place is terrible the person who did it was miserable as well and they never pick up the phone i encourage you not to shop here
Nice place. I bought a mid range MSI gaming laptop at a very competitive price. The service was good, there wasn't any obnoxious insistence on warranties or protection offers (or if there was it was done with enough tact that it wasn't obnoxious), and my product is in fine condition.
Save yourself the headache and go next door to memory express. This place won't pricematch an item if their life depended on it.
BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT BUY YOUR STUFF HERE! MY WIFE AND I TRY TO SHOP LOCALLY BUT THIS COMPANY HAS IMPLEMENTED A "FINAL SALE" POLICY AND THEY WILL NOT LET YOU RETURN OR EXCHANGE ANYTHING EVEN IF IT IS DEFECTIVE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. THEY HIDE BEHIND THEIR FINAL SALE POLICY INSTEAD OF STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. DON'T RISK IT... GO TO BEST BUY OR MEMORY EXPRESS OR EVEN BUY IT ONLINE! ALL OF THEM WILL LET YOU RETURN OR EXCHANGE IF NEEDED. FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BURNED BY THESE GUYS YOU NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU!
Called from Victoria and tried to order a GPU, they said no guarantee and i would have to come into the store to order one. Not helpful at all
Great service.. knowledgeable staff and products in stock for whatever your needs.
Service is always exceptional here. On my last visit I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed help finding anything. I was needing a very specific video adapter and due to their massive selection, it could have taken me some time to locate. With the help of the employee I had it in my hands on seconds.
Well It is nice to see that most all of you have only good things to say. However I have not. I know times change and "buyer beware is the normal rule in the retail industries, However all I will say is " Buyer beware Canada Computer unfair" After purchasing a large amount of equipment from this establishment over the past two years I will never set foot in the store again. Yes the service staff are awesome but the corporate policy is that of a barbarian practice that tells the consumer we do not care about you we got your money. All over not a return, not a damaged unit, but selling a unit that they said would do the job that was in detail explained and when I got home opened the box of a unit not on display, to find it was not suitable for the task lacking in the accessories that I specifically explained to the sales person for a hour. I then put it back in the box with out even plugging it in or opening the lid to exchange the unit. The next day after work I returned only to be told even though I would be spending a few hundred more that I had to pay a 10 percent restocking fee on the unit. So Yes they need rules to control abuser I hear ya! But this was strictly It would not do the job I needed it to do as It did not have enough USB ports to safely run the equipment I need it for with just two. I specifically told the sales person I need three or more. I will admit that I should have looked at the unit more closely as there was not one on display but I trusted the sales person as he seemed like he new what he was talking about.
Excellent service from the repair team! I brought my poor old laptop (it seemed to be dying!) in to them on Wednesday afternoon - by Thursday afternoon they had saved my data, replaced the hard drive and reinstalled Windows, all for a very reasonable fee.
I got most of my products from Canada computers Scarborough. I had to get some other ones which was only available at this location. I called them asking if they have them in stock and the person was so nice that he kept everything for me on hold until I picked it up. This was during the boxing day sale and they had like 1/2 items left. 10/10 for their service and pricing. Would highly recommend them for any pc parts for your build. Call them to confirm if the item your looking for is in stock as the website is not always updated properly.
Typically, having Canada Computers right across from Memory Express has made this corner of Broadway a great hub for picking up PC supplies, as I've generally found the experiences of dealing with both stores pretty equal and between them I can find just about everything I might need for a build. For the time being however I have to dock CC for their inexplicable abandonment of their pricing guarantee as a Covid protection measure. Huh? I can generally understand the changes to their returns policy on that basis, there's no way of knowing who has been directly handling a component post-purchase. But how on earth can checking a competitor's website for the price of a component possibly constitute a health risk to anybody? Even in-store that makes zero sense, let alone ordering something online. I don't know of any other electronics retailer adopting such a policy - certainly not their direct competition across the street, nor larger more heavily-trafficked retailers. It's nonsensical and comes off as a very cynical excuse for them to justify shaving off some losses to their bottom line, which is frankly a big disadvantage when an alternative is a 30-second walk away.
I was there on Friday to pick up an order I placed online and there was a line of 15ish people and it was a littler over an hour long for me to pick up some ram which took like one minute. Im confused as to why theres a one person limit in the store. Today and yesterday I tried calling the store to ask a question and no answer. They have good products but their customer service seems to be lacking
Quick service and will price match. A great alternative to the former occupier of this location.
They need to have a personal call assistant
Staff here are incredibly knowledgeable and their prices are competitive.
Great location, very quick to assist and a wealth of knowledge with their parts and selections. My go to for my electronics!!!!!!!
Terrible customer service... No matter how good the products they sell are, never have I encountered a nice staff member at this location. Being miserable must be a hiring trait they look for.

Russel who works there knows his stuff, super helpful and informative, no push in the sale, showed options at my (budget!) price point. Would go again for sure
I wish I could rate this place -100. So I took my laptop for repair as it was having issues with the realtek audio driver. I drop it off and the employee tells me that they need to quarantine my laptop for 72 hours as if it is going to sneeze on them. They said this is company policy and it follows ZERO LOGIC. I don't understand what it can't just be wipe down and gloves worn. I am still baffled as to what quarantining accomplishes. So that is 3 days of time and money wasted for you, if you have a business. Then they charge 50$ for a diagnostic fee up front. I drop my laptop off on Sunday and hear no word from them all week. I call in on Thursday and they apologize saying no one has looked at my laptop yet but they will get to it today. I call Friday and they tell me that the hardware is fine and I remind them that the issue was the audio driver --they completely forgot that this was the issue. They said they would look into it and call me back later in the day. That did not happen. I go into the center to take my laptop away from them and they start telling me that they download realtek audio driver. This was a lie, it was not on my computer when I got home. They also said they think the laptop has a hardware issue as the left usb ports are not working. The employee used a broken usb to plug into my computer to demonstrate that the computer was not reading the usb in the port. He then stated that I would need to replace the motherboard. This was a lie. When I got home, I checked and the left ports were working fine. So basically I paid 50$ to be lied to and have my time wasted and be subject to potential fraud. I just wonder how many people who don't understand computers get scammed by this place. On top of that, the employees stand out in front of the store smoking and inside the store they stand around talking to eachother and all seem to be incredibly lazy and unmotivated. I have never seen anything like it. The tech guy who worked on my laptop just walked away from the conversation and walked to the back of the store never to return. I am completely baffled. And there seems to be no way for compensation for losses. The company seems to not even have any real interest in operating. It is like the manger of this location has just completely given up.
While all location have good selection and pricesvand usually good staff, their on line customer service is about the worst I've ever dealt with.
I don’t know why they call it “curbside pickup” when in reality the directions are “wait in line in front of the store for half an hour then go in and pick it up”
As no one jumped to help the 30 min i walked around, i was slightly disappointed. I shouldnt have had too but once i did ask, the staff was friendly and helpful
Replaced NCIX. Occasional good prices on IT stuff if that makes you a happy earthly shopper. Got a great Braun electric water proof travel shaver for 18 dollars that's working well for a year already. So no complaints. Service guys seem to be attentive. Choices are quite good for gaming chairs, big computer screens and boxes of all types with LED galore if that's your thing.
Well stocked, very helpful staff.
Ok computer store
Friendly and reasonable prices. Your technology needs.
Bought a faulty used power supply there. They let me return with no problems.
Awesome repair service staff.
A lot of what they offer send kind of off brand. Service is friendly and if you're looking for something you can't find at BB, you might find it here.
Has all the standard electronics you'd expect from any other retailer, but I find its a gold mine for special cables and adapters that are hard to find anywhere else. Even standard cables are much cheaper here as well as a great selection of memory cards and camera batteries.
Excellent service and product selection and prices. The salesman found me all the right products at all great prices. Emma was my checkout girl today and she was a shear joy to deal with. You guys worked as a team and made this grumpy old man a very happy customer. GREAT JOB.
Do your homework on their website to find the products you want, order, pickup. Or at least write down the SKU codes and check availability. The store itself is more of a pickup location. Great selection and prices.
Good prices, awesome selection, excellent service! I am very satisfied with my experience and would definitely shop with them again!
Bad service with good prices
I ordered an open box computer chassis. The payment was promptly accepted and on the 5th day I received an e-mail telling me they actually don't have the item in stock.... They suggested I purchase another type of case they have in stock (no guarantee given my recent experience) or request the refund, which I did right away. I have never experienced anything like that before - not in dealing with reputable retailers. A quick glance at their own employees reviews of the company (Glassdoor website) indicates company is struggling with rather poor internal culture. No wonder customers are not served well or at the best the service is chaotic. Here are the snippets from NCIX employee reviews (Glassdoor - 2015): "Installing open box or RMA parts into new computers? Telling customers a made-up ETA so they don't cancel their order? Providing fake analytics data to vendors to claim marketing funds? Importing grey market products? Mandatory unpaid overtime? Abuse of personal information by HR and blatant discrimination? If you can think of it, it's probably been done." "This place has illegal or underpaid warehouse employees waiting for their PR card. These sponsored workers are all from China and none of them will speak up for fear of losing their working status and being sent back. How's that for company culture?" "Gifts at the Christmas dinner are customer returns and RMA products. Seriously?"
I did place an order on Thursday and payed for it via Direct Transfer. Today is Monday and I haven't received any information about the shipment or tracking number. I called them today at 7am (their headoffices are in Toronto) and they told me they have not received my payment, or their system hasn't recorded it, the person at the phone told me to call them by 3 PM and I did, just to have me in the phone for 20+ minutes just trying to talk to somebody . Finally somebody just grabbed the phone but just unhung it and avoid the phone ring to bother them. I had to put a star although those guys doesn't deserve any.
Great prices at a local store, very nice employees but the return policy here isn’t as good as memory express or amazon. You are better off buying hardwares at amazon or memex if the price matches.
very bad service. Long wait lines to pay for items while rest of store empty.
Staff don't approach you and not asking if you need help
I bought headphones here, and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable! Canada Computers sells way more than just computers!
tried calling many times during store hours and the phone lines just rang forever. how am i supposed to get curbside pickup if they don’t answer the phone
The source of everything computer and electronics. The staff are fantastic and ready to help. Personalized service and a large assortment of desktop, laptops and tablets, televisions and dashcams. Great deals when there are sales but normally very competitive pricing.
I had a wonderful experience at this Canada Computers location. I visited them because I had an issue with a motherboard that I purchased for my daughter. Michael at the Technical Service desk happily received us and took the time to help …
They often need to order what I'm looking for, service is mediocre.
This store is great for the selection and pricing. Great deals on weekends too.
Honestly greatest place to build a pc or get it bulit for you.Talk to my man Ricky who is an amazing person and helped me so much great service
When I walked in, I was plesantly surprised with how fully stocked they were. Wall to Wall filled with computer related stuff. I was looking for an ethernet adapter and no clue as to where to look. Thankfully someone approached me right away and showed me to where they were. I got exactly what I went in for and for a good price. Was check out soon after. A very pleasant experience. The service was very very pleasant and helpful. If I need any computer, phone, digital related stuff I'm going here first before best buy for sure.
Excellent store for electronic and gadgets
Professional service!
I think covid restrictions are getting to some staff, the lady at front desk yelled at me and threated with trespassing because my pickup order wasn't ready Covid or no-covid she was out of line
Happy with the work the folks here put out. Was my first time going for a full desktop build and only knew which GPU and processor I needed. Staff member Keagan (though they all are experienced) gladly assisted me with the rest. He only went over my budget by $100. Didn't trust myself building it, so they got the CPU assembled in 3 days for $110. Thank you for the incredible PC! Works wonders compared to my laptop.
Had an incredible experience! I needed a wireless router and had no idea what I needed. I was in the store just long enough to find the wireless router section, when I was approached by an employee named Brandon. He was super helpful in explaining what to look for in specs and was able to recommend a range of options. He left me alone to research (at my request) and was back with perfect timing to help me finalize my selection. I was able to get a sweet deal too. The model I ended up getting was also on sale so I saved a few bucks. Brandon helped me lock in a 3 year warranty for only a few dollars extra. Usually I don’t but extended warranties, but it only cost a couple cups of coffee. The product works great. I’ve had solid internet! Thanks for the great shopping experience!
Previously NCIX very good selection
Smaller store, very helpful staff. Surprised at the amount of selection they have in stock for many products.
Small, not the best location, but it serves the St. Catharines area well. Went on Boxing day, which apparently was not a good idea, so hard to really judge, but the staff seemed fairly knowledgeable.
Really nice and super helpful employees, great overall experience. Would definitely recommend
I love this computer store so much. Maybe one time when I have a lot of cash on me I will go there and pick up a few computer parts for my prebuilt. I would also highly recommend going here if your having troubles with ur PC. I’ve been also thinking about working but don’t know what positions are they hiring.
Good place to buy anything relating to computers but they’re customer service is truly garbage. They don’t pick up the phone. Not the number on this page or their website. The only location that picked up my call was in Hamilton. I had to place my order with another store because Canada Computers didn’t even give me a chance.
Even though the prices there were a bit more expensive, I would buy here just because the Jason was so helpful in helping me pick out parts for my build.
Love this store! I never get tired of going here. The staff are very helpfull and friendly and the selection is amazing. Only issue I have ever had is going in to buy one thing and I walk out with more than 10 lol. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent place to shop for electronics, slightly more experience vs online. Staff isn't the most knowledgeable with their advice so make sure to go in knowing your stuff before hand.
Their great website supports their stores, and you can usually find deals here plus price matching. parking out back.
Friendly staff, really impressed with the layout. Aisle upon aisle of product on display that you can actually see and read for yourself. Huge improvement over ncix
very patient and helpful, did price matching and helped me find all the parts i needed!
Helpful staff, good selection. NCIX will be missed, but Canada Computers seems to be a great replacement.
From the minute I stepped into the store I knew I was in good hands. Tyler went above and beyond to answer any questions I had and source the specific parts I had requested for my PC build and I was fortunate enough to receive the 3070 GPU model I had wanted. Thank you both Tyler and Tristan for helping me build my dream pc!
Saw that they had the Viper V360 headset on sale and saw on their site that it was compatible with the ps4. I had asked the sales rep if it truly was compatible and he say yes. After I bought it I found out that there's no actual information anywhere that states it is compatible with the ps4. I emailed the rep who did my transaction and told him the story. He said if I had any issues to just bring it back even though it was deemed a final sale. I got home from work and tried it out. To my surprise it works great. Thank you for being considerate under these circumstances.
Why is this place so depressing? It has an atmosphere similar to a cemetery. Some items don't even have price labels.
First time experience wasn't the best going in. None of the staff welcomed us into the store. Didn't bother to ask if we needed any help, tons passed us and didnt look at us. As for parts they didnt have what i needed.
Whats wrong with their web site? Never get in with the stupid reCAPTCHA
Bought a pre built pc that didn't work from the jump, they did their check for defects 2 day process and didnt find anything.. came back home and the pc was still faulty. Peter worked with me on an exchange and talked me through the best options pc wise and the new one is incredible. Great customer service from everyone involved but Peter was incredible!
Definitely a good place to shop if you're familiar with technology. Prices are reasonable. I've found most staff to be quite knowledgeable, but I tend to take the reigns when asking questions and am very specific due to how much I know personally. I have found some staff to be a little disinterested when "helping" me. Bottom line, if you're well versed in the world of computers and need good prices, this is definitely a good place to shop. If you're looking for serious hand-holding and direction, you'll probably be disappointed.
The ABSOLUTE BEST computer repair store ever! thank you Matt, you are amazing
On February the 23rd i went to their location on Waterloo to return a refurbished phone that was defective and i had the luck to be served by a gentleman named Travis. I told him my budget and he showed me online what they had which were few phones so while i was trying to make up my mind he told me give me a moment and went to the back.In the meantime i had to choose from the selection that i have been shown which i did. Travis came back with another phone which was not displayed online and it had almost exactly the same specs of the one i had to choose but was 200 dollars less. He patiently and skillfully explained everything to me and set up the device. I left the place happy and frankly amazed because we all know how sales people try to up sell but in this case Travis put the customers needs first so i am a fan of Canada Computers and hope it's management will capitalizes on people like Mr Travis.
Ever since this store opened it has been one of my favorites. The customer service is excellent, they are there when needed but not at a pestering level, and they know what they are talking about. The presentation of the store as a whole is beautiful, super open and everything is super easy to find. And for the other people reviewing saying that the prices are too high, you don't know what you're talking about, this is the price of computers.
I've always had great service here the staff is second to none.
After spending over $1000 on upgrades my computer had problem after problem - contsant system crashing, faulty sound, a DVD player that stopped working, jittery mouse movement, you name it. After bringing my heavy tower computer in at least 3 times, problems persisted. I asked for a home visit since they couldnt' find anything wrong when I brought it in, they wanted to charge me a THIRD time for servicing. I WILL NEVER USE NCIX FOR ANY SORT OF COMPUTER SERVICING EVER AGAIN.
They have many laptops and computers to look at but was not happy with the staff . I had questions and could not get their attention to have them answered.The store was not even busy.
Not the most helpful staff. I was told a set of expensive earbuds were Android compatible. They were not. Then I could not return them. A month later I almost bought a different pair. Another staff member told me they were compatible. I looked them up and they were not. I left, went down the street and bought a liar somewhere else.
Need computer peripherals or parts? Professional manager makes sure there team operates at a higher standard for customer satisfaction.
Pre-ordered items on multiple occasions, and everytime the items were ready for pickup in under an hour. Pickup at the store was always quick and easy.
I placed an order on December the 9th for a Christmas present. They took my money the day after that, saying it will be “shipped in 1-2 days”. I check online and it is still processing the order. I’ve had to go into the store myself and pick up a new item, and try to cancel my order. I got the item through the store finally, but the order is STILL processing, nearly a month later. I’ve emailed 3 times trying to get them to cancel the order and give me a full refund, but I have heard nothing back. Terrible customer service.
Definitely deserve a five star review. During Covid times they had a policy disclosed in email about coming an hour before close to pick up items that I didn't realize. I don't think they mentioned it on the phone when they call me to let me know my item was in... However, even though I arrived less than an hour before close due to my drive from Hamilton... the manager was understanding and let me wait in line and pick up my item. I have been a Canada Computer customer for a long time, but this was my first time dealing with this location. I appreciate a manager who knows when to make exceptions. 5 stars.
Pretty much some of the worst, laziest staff I've ever met in my entire life. Jade is a fantastic employee that recently quit, everyone else are miserable, condescending and will never go out of their way to order or transfer any component for you. Ordered a gaming chair a year ago through Jade with no issue even though the other two employees said they couldn't get it. Pure laziness.
Staff are very helpful, great selection of products. Unfortunately, not all of those products are on display. Want to look at a PC Case? Unless it's one of the half dozen they have out, the other 100+ are all in their boxes.
This store is awesome. Where I moved here from you would never find a computer store that carried anywhere close to what these guys carry. Their pricing is excellent and the staff are awesome to work with.
Priced above other retail locations sadly, supposedly price matching isn't a thing. Be sure to shop around alot before buying from here 9/10 times it'll be cheaper else where.
Went in looking for a very specific cable. Was questioned why I needed it, then was told it wouldn’t work, the associate became rude when I ensured them that it would. Very condesending, very little basic knowledge on how things work, also extremely rude. One would think if someone is asking for a very specific item they know what they are doing. And it is currently working, time will tell about the quality. Save yourself the hassle, tons of computer stores in the area or amazon.
My favourite electronics store especially for computer parts, custom built computers, and computer peripherals like USB drives, mice, etc. Always the best prices and best price matches.
Great place. Everyone is knowledgeable and polite. They know all the right questions to ask to assess your needs. Stopped in to buy a laptop and I was in and out in about ten minutes. I've shopped with them several times and I've never been disappointed.
Great help for prices, John is full of great info and really helpful.
So we have been dealing with Canada Computers for years both with our personal and business technology needs. Recently I called in to order a particular computer from them and found that it needed to be shipped from another store. I was dealing with an excellent Sales Rep named Logan. He patiently answered all of my questions and made sure he knew what we needed. Sadly due to Covid the shippent took longer than usual. During the entire process Logan kept me notified of where and when the computer would be coming. I am very satisfied with my experience and would recommend Canada Computers not only for the fine products but also the excellent service.
Great little store with a wide selection of computers and computer accessories at seemingly reasonable prices.
Good and quick help from staff no matter what equipment you're looking for.
Bad and rude service. I asked about the intel cpu 4770 Lga 1150 fan. They do not know which one is 3-pin or 4-pin. The helper is not a expert. They just do not work hard. Also, they charge me a 10% for return item . I just bought less than 5 mins ago. I told one of employees full refund but, the employee didn`t tell me exact return policy. Later on they bring a supervisor, the supervisor told me because I put a fan on the service desk and leave a silver ink mark. I was dumbfounded. They are not polite. Do not buy anything in this store. Not recommended to novice customers for computer.
Ordered 2:47 ready at 3:09 in my hand 3:30 thanks for being awesome!
They have a pretty decent selection of computer hardware and other electronics. They had a nice deal on a USB hub I was looking for. There are lots of staff, often busy. But when you get served they do have a good idea about the products.
Jacob was very honest and helped us get a card in the harsh market
Current COVID policies around returns, price matching, and price protection are highly restrictive, especially compared to other businesses. They do not allow you to return open packages and they do not offer price protection "due to the current situation" (?! is matching your own sale price going to spread the virus?!). I was not informed of this policy when buying the item -- these new policies are not advertised in a prominent way. Impersonal, lazy and delayed service. Had to wait at the door for 10 minutes before anyone came to acknowledge me or ask what I needed, despite two separate employees being within eyesight of me. Even after being acknowledged had to wait another 10 minutes for help despite the store having only 1 other customer being helped. Watched the person in line behind me ask for help with fixing a laptop, be given vague and cold advice, then leave and not come back. To top it all off, one of the cables I bought was defective straight out of the box. Thankfully they still offer replacements for opened, defective products, but at this point I am so frustrated with their store I do not want to go back.
If I could give 0 stars, I would. Customer service is the most terrible thing I’ve ever encountered. I never even got to experience it. It was brutally impossible to to cancel an order, as they would never answer. Once my order was delivered, my power supply was defected and now I am attempting to get a hold of them. Filed tickets, called, and waited for hours. I even got hung up on without speaking to anyone. Would never recommend ordering from this company if you didn’t have to.
Awesome prices, awesome service. They always have just what I need.
Service was outstanding friendly, helpful and polite. I will go back anytime
i came into the store to get some help finding parts as i am building a pc for the first time. the store manager, wayne, was super helpful and both of the cashiers were very friendly! customer service was top-notch. i would definitely recommend this canada computers location to any computer newbies like me :)
Their customer service is completely terrible. The majority of the people who work there will usually treat you with disinterest - perhaps the company treats the employees the same way, and I empathize with that. But if you know what you …
Great place to get something locally prices are comparable to Amazon. Might be a few dollars more but the convience of getting something immediately is great. Great selection and stock
Prices are a bit high since you can get things a lot cheaper online, but they were willing to match prices so that was nice. It was quite busy so I had to wait a bit to be helped.
Knowledgeable staff + good sale prices.
To sum things up; 1. Rude staff/poor customer service even though they get commission on sales. 2. They will try and charge you a restocking fee unless you can prove their products are faulty. 3. Prices aren't actually that great and often times you can find them cheaper online. 4. Parking sucks. This store will be from now on my last resort, and definitely will never recommend to anyone.
Interior was lacking. Employees were dismissive and a bit rude. Went in and walked around the store, trying to find the part I was looking for, and no one offered assistance. Was not asked at the checkout if I collected CC Rewards so I mentioned it while punching in my PIN. The girl at the registered was visibly annoyed and told me I should have said something before beginning the transaction. Would be a better policy to have store associates ask about the rewards program at the beginning of the transaction. Drove an hour and a half for this. Will not be returning to this location.
Wow! This place has everything and at really good prices too. I tried to get CAT5 plugs in Woodstock, the best I could find was a pack of 4 for $8.99. Here, I found a pack of 10 for $2.99. Awesome. Very neat tech and tech mods available in here. Even my kids enjoyed this store. Lots of different computer hardware and accessories. Friendly staff, slightly narrow yet very clean aisles. They also do computer repair. Great place for the tech geek.
Ehh pretty bad customer service.
I was looking to build a gaming PC with little to no knowledge. I emailed an associate who works at the store with a budget, & my requirements. In less than a couple hours I got a email back with a list of parts and builds. It was everything I needed & met all of my requirements. One of the best experiences I've ever had making a purchase. Highly recommend!
great for electronic parts
Great variety of tech items at a good price
Prices are good. Friendly and knowledgable staff.
It was awesome! I came in with a lot of questions and they helped me with all of them! Walked out with my ram upgrade and dual monitors for my new setup. (They also built my PC earlier this year and it is a monster!) Shout out to Kristian for being the man! Highly recommend this place!
Went looking for a video card (at a historically bad time), and left with a decent confidence in my purchase. Thank you, Christopher.
Best place to buy computer parts and accessories in town. Good selection in stock, and helpful staff.
Great service and got me what I needed to get up and running quickly and in style.
The staff were creepy. And kept talking way after the conversation was clearly over
The price is expensive and they can't fix my computer.
Awesome customer service. Usually stuff you can't find in other places you can find here.
Excellent customer service. Wide variety of stock. Very helpful and knowledgable staff.
Went in with a malfunctioning desktop PC. Left with my PC back in working condition. So pleased with the service these guys gave. Such friendly and polite staff who know what they’re talking about. The two main techs are extremely nice and knowledgeable about PCs. Trusted them 100% and wouldn’t have asked for a better place to bring my computer. Highly recommend.
Large, clean, well lit store with a sizable inventory, and friendly knowledgeable staff.
Excellent. Customer service, and the guy was honest about the product and costs and the capabilities of the hardware, with regard to what I was going to use the computer for.
The customer service here is SO bad they should be embarrassed. Like BOTTOM of the barrel. No one smiles, says hello, or offers ANY assistance. And very few of them have ANY product knowledge. 3rd time in the store ... I don't know why I come back. Today's experience will be last, for sure.
The best selection of computers and parts in London Ontario. Fair prices and helpful staff.
Employees very knowledgeable and helpful.
The customer rep was very polite and helpful. My purchase experience was delightful.
very helpful staff. even with the simple questions I had, they were very kind and explained things thoroughly
Great place for all your electronic needs. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff makes this place my first goto destination.
In the current climate of online retail dominating things it is great to be able to walk into a store and be greeted by friendly faces and neat rows of everything that you could want in terms of computer stuff. I bought something and took it back a week after to get a credit on something better and they were only too happy.
Always enjoy visit to Canada computers
Aside from computers, they have a surprising selection of appliances. We got a Nespresso here for about 50 percent off retail price. They have other appliances like vacuum, hair dryers, etc. Worth checking out before going to best buy or Walmart.
Great customer service, Knowledgable staff, sells you what you need and will help you keep a budget
Relatively quick service and great prices on computer parts.
Bought a power supply here for dirt cheap and the girl who sold it to me was super friendly, ive always gone to canada computers for anything i needed and they always have really solid prices on things. Prices are pretty fair even for open box products
it is one of the only places left in St Catharines that carries all the components you need for your computer. A large inventory of stock and good pricing. Help was easy to find and were pleasant with helping. They are even open on Sundays while everyone else is closed.
First off they do not pick up the phone ever, took me 2 days to get a hold of them calling 8+ times. When I finally got a hold of them I asked for a 3060TI, they told me the price was 689.99, so I drove out of my way about 30-35 min and when I arrive and go to buy it the price was now 899.99, they said it was an old price and didnt even say sorry or anything. DO NOT SHOP HERE TERRIBLE SERVICE
(Translated) The installation of the hard disk requires a special screw, and the clerk enthusiastically gave me eight, and it is free and especially cool. (Original) 安装硬盘需要一种特殊的螺丝,店员热心的给了我八个,还免费,特别爽。
Good spot for your computer and peripheral needs. Website works well with their inventory system. Haven't been disappointed yet.
Great price on computer, great deals
Great store to get all your tech, from media, gaming, to audio engineering, and all for reasonable prices. Currently enjoying my latest purchase, the Gigabyte Aero 15 (really recommended it). The staff was great in explaining all the purchase methods and offers and making the whole experience pleasurable. Truly recommend this place. 10/10
I love the selection and have purchased a lot of equipment here in the past. I must agree with others who have experienced poor service. There is certainly a feeling that I am disturbing them. Not all of them but a few. It is unprofessional to say the least. I've just dropped $1000 on three displays this past Friday. Needed two more displays, site shows a stock level of 2*. I called to check on the 2 showing as in stock, told that there 'should be' three, one being an open box. I asked if he could check the stock to ensure that two were available unopened as I didn't want to drive across town for a 'should be' and asked if he could hold them if available. I was told that they don't hold anything. I suppose that policy works for some, but I said that I'd just order online. I prefer to support Brick and Mortar but not with that attitude. If I am going to take the time to drive to a store then I expect to have good customer service. I couldn't get it on the phone, saves me a trip. This location will be emergency parts only, everything else will be purchased online from here on out. Sadly, these guys will be wondering why they might be unemployed in the future. Good luck CC!
I saw that they had a great deal on a Computer case for a build I was doing for a friend. My local Canada Computers had sold the last one, and I saw that there were three in stock at this location. I ordered the build from Amazon, aside from the case, and the case shipped to the door faster than Amazon! The parts were all purchased at approximately the same time on both sites. I'm very pleased with their shipping time (for a small fee). It was impressive.
Please fix your printer, quotes with the logo cutoff at the top won't be authorized by workplaces.
Needed a pc case for a new build. In and out in 10 mins. No drama
Smaller than the whitby location, however doesn't lack the merchandise or staff to help answer questions. Recommend it if you need equipment but don't want to travel far.
Great staff. Great selection. Great prices! Multiple buying options. Online to select and hold for pick-up or in store. I find using the website to find\compare desired items and using the inventory check is super handy. You can create a login and add to cart for hold where they pick it for you and have it ready upon arrival. From start to finish I find they've become my go to store.
It has really great employees and a wide selection of items I would recommend visiting.
Great prices on computer equipment and parts
This has to be one of the worst CC locations. When you purchase something there, they will ask if it’s ok to email you a receipt. Be careful as my receipt did not include the sales tax on it. An official receipt will indicate the sales tax because its essential for tax purposes. Very shady practice. When I questioned them about this they blamed it on the “Head office”. Also they have very little product on display. All In all, it makes for a bad shopping experience. The Cambridge location knows what’s up.
Wanted to buy a open box GPU. An employee jokingly asked if I was serious and ignored me.
I was in a tough bind and they came through by helping me out.... Can't say enough how much it helped me get a job done... props to thier crew.. totally recommend ????
Nice enough place but do not pick up phone calls very often
I came in here to purchase 2 specific items from the store. I would have ordered them online, but they were out of stock online. The first item was behind the cash register and I had to repeat what I wanted multiple times and each time they would reach for the wrong item. The other item was on the shelves however someone reorganized the store and no one could find it. Their stock system also had the wrong location for the item. Eventually the 3rd person I asked knew where to look. The location is neat, clean and the staff are friendly. Prices are decent as well. I just wish the staff were more informed.
Good service okay prices I got what I went for
They will sell an "extended protection plan", and tell you it will cover anything that happens to your purchase,only to then say the complete opposite when you actually attempt to use said "extended protection plan". Abysmal customer service
Great prices and great customer service! Always friendly staff.
My go to computer store in London. Staff always helpful. If I had one knock, since they closed the 2 locations we used to have and opened this much bigger box version, for me, it lost the feel a smaller store had for browsing. Don't get me wrong they have tons of stuff however the lasting feeling is you are in these longer aisles that are tall and somewhat narrow. So much so, if I do want to browse, my family waits in the car.
They have really good supply and staff who are good at locating the things you want - if you know what you want. It's however a terrible idea to ask for, or expect, any good advice on computer-related things. In retrospect maybe it's just me being a little dumb, but when I had some computer-related questions (Needed to replace my motherboard) I associated the dude standing in front of the motherboards to have a decent idea of motherboard compatibility. He assured me that my existing CPU would be compatible with the new motherboard... it was not compatible. He also assured me that this motherboard was backwards compatible with my existing RAM and that people online were just misinformed... it was also incompatible. Those are just two instances out of a whole string of events. His poor counsel ended with me building a very expensive and mediocre computer of theseus for very little tangible gain. Canada Computers has a return policy that makes it very difficult to bring something back once you've removed it from the box. I understand why, but it did mean I was stuck with an overpriced gamecube. I got lightly roasted by my friends for the string of awful purchases I made that day. I acknowledge that a good amount of this was my fault for not being knowledgable about computers, but I wish I was the only clueless one in the room.
You would think a franchise that sells consumer electronics would, you know, sell stuff that works. I guess my expectations were unreasonable. My bad.
The only brick and motor franchise I visit for PC and related products. Low pressure. Helpful staff who typically are well versed and knowledgeable. I am consistently referring people to this store.
Great staff very knowledgeable and good prices
I spent over an hour and a half looking at laptops here. The staff were really honest with me, didn't upsell me, and did their best to find a laptop that would work for what I was using it for. When I realized the model I got wasn't upgradeable, I returned it for a higher end model at another location, no hassle whatsoever. Really glad I dealt with them in the first place!
Wow ! I should have really researched before bringing my business to this store. Horrible ,vulgar and aggressive manager . I spent over $100 on a set of headphones that do not work with neither my NEWEST android phone, nor with my smart TV. All I wanted was exchange it for another product that would work , hopefully with employee's help . The manager kept looking aggressively at my bag with a return while I was waiting in line. She was not friendly at all. I would like not just for a head office, but also for the owner of this chain to look at camera footage , Nov 4,2021, between 2 -2.30 pm. The manager OF YOUR STORE is yelling at a customer ! She called me a horrible person, just because I said God sees everything and she just might get a reciprocation for her rudeness and luck if care. This place is beyond the bottom line . I am upset and shaken. Do not shop there ! Take your money and your business to stores where employees care .
Very nice staff, they have a lot of knowledge and overall would be my #1 go to place when it comes to buying anything revolving pcs
Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Wish I had gotten my computer here instead of getting ripped off at a big box store
Had what I needed in stock. Fair pricing.
Changing my review. Advertised a product as new online. Drove 45 minutes to get it only to find out it was a demo a year old on display and used. Employee not helpful at all. No discount offered, no extra warranty unless u paid extra for it. Said oh well take ot or leave it as is and that was the end of the service offered. Hard pass never again...
Lack of stock is my only complaint... Compared to the Toronto stores this location feels rundown and empty. The staff is helpful and typically happy but otherwise I only go here if I know for certain the item I want is available.
It's got a lot of cool stuff but the store is pretty small, laptops are kind of crappy and overpriced. They need a bigger selection of laptops, monitors, and headsets.
As I have seen on this website, I agree with some of the posters about poor customer service! No one answers the phone. No one responds to emails. I bought a laptop back in April and already the pointing device doesn't work. When I looked up how to fix the problem online, the internet said I should be able to update the drivers. When you go to the control panel, there is no option to pick the pointing device under "Mice and hardware". I shouldn't have to bring the laptop back to the store for such a simple problem! I was impressed at first when I bought the laptop, but they seem to not be interested in helping once you leave the store with your item!!
It is a great store for any electronic needs, it has almost any component you need for a computer and lots of accessories on top of that. Great selection of keyboards and mice. They have a large selection of cables at decent costs. Many things are cheaper here than at larger stores, and it makes you feel good to support a small store.
The best place for all your tech needs.
No more returns if unhappy ???? 2 weeks if broken or unopened . Easier returns was one of the only reasons I shopped here over Amazon. Seems silly to give up a major competitive advantage.
John was very knowledgeable, an extremely helpful. The store is very clean. Hand sanitizer at the front door. Good job guys
Very helpful in helping my fiancée upgrade her computer
Pricing error in a published flyer. How can a company advertise a price in a weekly flyer and not honour it? Ask these sleazy scalpers who pretend to be a retailer supporting the community! Apparently it's totally ok to just change your pricing digitally and tell everyone it was an error. Why don't all retailers do this when you walk up to the checkout?! Last time they see a dime from me.
Bad service; the person behind the counter doesn't care too much!
Overall, Canada Computers is a great store. Ive been shopping here for years but today I am writing a review due to some issues. Firstly, the variety and all is crazy good. I called to infer about the status of the GPUs as Im looking to …
Joe was a great help tonight.
Ordered some parts last week. My parts from Amazon and Newegg came the very next day. Out of curiosity, I tried emailing them about the order status. A week later, I have not gotten a response nor have I received any update on my order whatsoever. I attempted to call them, but was directed to a busy call noise that ended the call automatically. I’ve bought things here in the past, so it’s disappointing to see a Canadian company lack the customer support you’d expect from a domestic company. Amazon and Newegg at least have an option where they either call you or provide a response within a set number of days. I’m sure the virus has changed business, but from the looks of other reviews, there hasn’t been much change implemented to adapt to it. I will say, they were very fast with charging my credit card. My PC build is on hold now because of this, but now I can now say I’ve done my part and have met them half way. Hope something will change soon. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they’re flooded with a million emails. Chances are, I’ll probably direct people to order from Newegg or Amazon if they need anything. Parts are usually sold by the manufacturer directly and are covered by warranty. Plus shipping is usually comparable or better than CC.
Good selection of stuff and good service. Doing a good job of adhering to covid rules as well.
Good staff that work here. Always willing to help you find what you need and make recommendations. They have just about every cable and adapter known to mankind. Manage to pick up some good USB thumb drives at a ridiculous price, always fun to go and look around just to see what they have.
Lance and his colleague were very knowledgable and helpful! Thanks guys!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wide selection of computer parts and associated products. Good deals and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.
Great Prices And Great Staff!
This Canada Computers is wonderful. The staff are amazing and incredibly helpful, and always very friendly every time I have come in. I've been searching for a new graphics card for a while now and Tristan went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help me out in my search and helped me get what I needed. I am super thankful for all his help and I am so so happy. Thank you very much for the amazing service.
Great service, and a good place to ask questions and get help, and in general, the staff do their best to be friendly, and it shows. They can be a bit brusque at times when things get really busy, but must stress that I don't blame them at all, as this is a more complex job to work than most retail positions. You can expect to find what you need here, I suggest NCIX first to anyone in Vancouver who has computer related needs.
Don't expect quality service from the staff. Even thou I've spent close to $15,000+++ dollars in this store in little over a year... I still get poor service and nothing is ever in stock at this location. It's sad that Head Office doesn't even bother to look into how the ship is being run here. It pains me to have to go into this store as is almost my only option. Two of the tec' guys are pretty good but majority of the staff is ridiculous. I hope that they read this. I could go on with every problem I've had here (and it's well documented) but what's the point. NCIX really isn't gonna do anything about it.
What a great experience!! The manager helped us out and Joe cashed us out and signed us up for the rewards program!! Both were incredibly helpful. Joe was absolutely awesome!! Best customer service we have experienced in quite awhile! Keep up the great work guys!!! We will definitely be back for ALL of our computer related needs!!! ????????????????????????
Friendly staff. Computer sales, parts & service. Glenridge Ave store closed and new store opened at Fairview Mall 》Geneva St
I came in with a motherboard return. I put everything back in the box. And there was a screw missing that I didn’t know about, because I never took it out to use. I assume the motherboard was already opened by the store to update the Ryzen 3000 compatible bios (crooked sticker on the box) so I wasn’t concerned and assume the store misplaced it. Now that the screw is missing, it’s my fault... I was also THREATENED with a “final sale” and no return when I slightly showed my frustration in my tone. In the end they cannot guarantee that the next person to check it will have the same requirements of items in the box even if I bring back the screw. I had to go all the way from Orleans because that location didn’t allow in store returns. Now I have to make the same trip across the city again. Edit: I came back the next day with the missing screw (taken from another board) and the same customer service rep had the audacity to tell me that I was missing a screw stand-off. 2 facts were already established: I was told that I was only missing a screw, even asking them to double check what I’m missing, and secondly the box was opened upon purchase because it was a RMA product that was sold to me as “new”. Still they refused to have the reasoning that the product may have lost those items due to the previous customer misplacing them or the manufacturer forgetting to put it back in the box. It took a manager to be able to confirm this type of logic, wasting my time twice and needlessly spending my patience.
Was interested in a camera which they had not in stock but would be shipped once available. Contacted customer service to inquire about delivery times. Contact said product was discontinued. Website clearly states it will be shipped once available so they aren't lying per se, maybe they keep it up there for the old bait and switch. Bottom line, I cannot trust the information on their website and I will take my business somewhere else. In a saturated market, the buyer has lots of choice, just don't choose NCIX.
Good to use as a pickup for web orders, or if you need to ask questions. Also good if you're just looking for accessories. Not great for browsing though.
Great staff and generally have what I need. Been hit like everyone else by the shortages but are willing to do what they can to help.
Just wanted to buy a gift card for my son. Went to the "returns and exchanges" desk where there was a sign that read "gift cards sold here". When the employee finished with the customer in front of me, he walked away from me and picked up the phone and started answering technical questions for someone over the phone. I stood there and waited. And waited. And waited. I know the customer on the phone made the effort to sit there, in the comfort of their own home, while all I did was get into my car and drive 35 minutes from out of town and go into the store in person so maybe it's my own fault for expecting some level of customer service. My bad. When he finally decided to get to me he did process my transaction quickly and efficiently. So there's that.
Their items are wayyyyyyyy too overpriced and if you want your PC built by them it's like $250 where as enders direct will do it for $10
All the staff is super welcoming and efficient. At 6am for Boxing Day they all smile and are so helpful. Congrats for your hard work all time to advice so well and conjugate the best price with the best technology! A spécial dédicace to Neeraj who helped me so much with all my questions and for his precious advices that helped me to save money, to have excellent components for my son’s computer and for his great dedication!
Been here many times and have always been treated great. NCIX is one of my favourite places to buy the tech stuff I need/want - they have great deals and lots of selection!
I'm from out of town, and had to get all of the parts for a new computer in store. The staff were very helpful, and knowageble.
Went to the store after checking online to make sure they have the product i need. Online they say 5+ in stock at my local store (waterloo). I wait an hour outside, i get in the building ask the lady at the front and without looking at the computer she says "No, we don't". If your going to force people to wait outside to purchase your products make sure you online stock IS CORRECT. The man in front of me had the exact same issue, THANKS for the GREAT service. You guys also don't answer your phone.. what's up with that? Would recommend Best Buy over this junk
They are new and you can tell staff is still learning the systems, service is good except for this one weird manager type that kept following me around the store, dunno know if he was trying to be attentive or thinking I'm a shoplifter. Otherwise this place is really NCIX 2.0 (can even recognize some of the old staff)
Not nearly as good as they used to be. The selection is gone, there are tons of employees but most of them have no idea what you're talking about.
Amazing place to shop, better prices then Tigerdirect for products and for repairs and much much better customer service. The staff know what they are talking about and will do everything they can to make sure you get what you need. By far the best computer shop in London.
The place is nice and have everything pretty much, but I dont think that I'm going back after they stopped me and start searching my bag WITH NO PERMISSION after the shop door sensor start alarming and for no reason. I was so embarrassed and speachless of what happened they made me feel as if I'm a thief and didnt even appologise after finding nothing, the customer service is BAD, however they have great products.
Used to shop here religiously. Prices were good. The staff mostly sucked, but Sandy took care of me and my needs so I got to bypass the passively aggressive sales clerks. Since Sandy left, I have no reason to go back. Tigerdirect has a wider selection, and roughly the same prices, often lower and the wait is usually only a few days for delivery. And since the staff in the store look annoyed when you ask them questions, you won't be missing out on any customer service/help/tech support for your purchases. In closing, I've gone in using my cane, hobbling around, barely capable of walking and been ignored, sent to the wrong place and told to, "look for it myself" on more than one occasion. Sandy was the one saving grace this place had.
I walked into the store looking to purchase peripherals for my boyfriend's new computer. I stated I had no budget in mind, but also no real knowledge of what was good, and that I would appreciate some assistance/recommendations. I got one …
Good place to build a PC. Keep an eye on the weekly sales and weekend sales. Sometimes you find realistic sale prices .
This is a fantastic store for computer components and had the best pricing on most of the items they sell. Most of the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Just forgive the upsell when going through the checkout.
They have me a broken thx 1050 ti
This location provides poor warranty due to Covid 19 no refunds at all however they will take back defective product and exchange it but no refunds sketchy location. Business bureau of Canada should be involved in this specific locations business practices using Covid 19 as an excuse to defraud customers for they're hard earned money. Brandon the manager should learn better customer service.
Canada Computers is a near-wholesale computer part depot. If you know what you want you might as well order it online and then go pick it up in store. The staff is knowledgeable, however, so if you don't know what you want, they can help you figure it out.
Very positive experience with the store manager! I was looking for a business laptop and found the newest Zenbook fits my budget and needs. The store manager Cissy helped me choose the right configuration and follow up with me for the order (since it was heavily back-ordered). Not only she immediately notified me when the shipment came, but also making my life easier by changing the pick up location in the Vancouver store after knowing my business is located in downtown. I think a genuine personal touch is very important nowadays in the e-comm dominating era. Making orders online and having it shipped to you is convenient, but having real interactions with professionals will actually give you extra piece of mind when it comes to purchases like this.
This place beats all other brick and mortar computer stores I've found for price and selection. Enough so that I drive in from out of town to go there. The staff has always been able to offer quality help when I've needed it, too, but they don't jump on you when you're in the store (which I like). Be advised --- you may go in for a new charge cord and find you really need a gaming keyboard or new monitor. It happens.
Service was pretty fast. Good selection.
The new NCIX. Much better store configurations. If they’re not the cheapest, they’ll match.
The store had lots of stock and staff to help.
The selection of product is unmatched by anyone else in the city and even better rates than online on some items. They generally have a good stock of parts, musical supplies, monitors, gpus, motherboards and the works. However some of the staff definitely give off the vibe of being immature college kids. One in particular would scoff at having to replace an item on an invoice going off about how long it's going to take and so on all while giving the look of just apathy for the job and sale which was not a small order. Other than that great experiences with half the staff who don't see arrogant. Will be returning for sure, also let it be known there is a limit of 1 gpu per customer.
Bought 2 smartphones from them (a year ago and now). Good price, attentive service, the devices work perfectly. I'd say the choice in tis category is too narrow. Also, I wanted to buy a flash-drive and an sd card during my last visit, but they were "out of stock".. Kind of weird for this kind of store. Anyway, overall experience is fine, solid 4.
I bought computer parts to make a system desk top. I send email to the assistant manger and he took charge ordering them for me. Making the story short the Video Card was defective. I send him an email to take my card to store and his staff test it and if it has problem change it or fix it or exchange with something else or refund me. He even did not bother to answer. I spend about $45 for wrapping and transshipping it by FedEx to Ontario service center of ASUS to get it fix.
Poor service, cashier and another employee chatting behind the counter, cashier saw us approach and failed to address us for a minimum of 2 full minutes as we stood there waiting to be helped for an item stocked behind the counter. We live in Waterloo and would much rather drive to the Cambridge location where service is a lot better.
Great deals on vast selections of tech for gaming and office.Displays offer brick and mortar ideas you can't get on-line. A real techie toystore ???? lost a star on available help but excuseable during Covid.
Excellent service. Store is good sized and you can try out many products. Price matches memory express.
great prices and has nice monitors
Wasted almost an hour just to pick-up an order. Staff couldn't find my order which is right in front of the checkout the whole time. They helped me bring it to my car when they left i checked the box ended up giving me the wrong thing. Good thing i checked what i got before i leave. Had to go back and wait again to get my order. This chinese dude who helped me looks like he hated his job and giving me attitude.
Has what I want.
Go here for all you tech needs...cheap cables... peripherals...great store...this store has parking.
Store has great variety, but employees don't seem like they want to talk to you. I would recommend memory express for tech support, but ordering pickup here is good.
Was told they were gettimg graphics cards in for black friday.. drove an hour to go get one.. employee tells me i have to buy a full pc setup with it...
The sales associates here are knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks.
Canada Computers is the best! Exactly what a computer and electronics store should be. Every staff member knows what they are doing and is super helpful, lots of in store sales, and they have everything you could need. Even when they are busy you can expect prompt and attentive service.
I was looking for a Wifi extender. I found one on sale for $23. The website suggested a 2 years protection plan for $3.9, I said I might get that. This store is 2 mints of driving from where I live. I went there and bought the extender and got the protection plan. When I went home I saw on the box that there is a 2 years warranty on the device. I thought I don't need the protection plan since I have the warranty. I was going to the same plaza the next day for shopping so I took the extender and went to the store to return the plan. I had to speak to the manager for that. When He saw it he said, it's only $3.9, I said I know but I don't need it, he said I wouldn't leave the house for that, I said I live around the corner and I always come to this plaza. His comments were unnecessary, when I pay $3.9 for something worth $23, it means I paid 17% extra, and if it's not worth it, why don't you offer it for free?!. I didn't need it, so I don't care about how I would pay for it because it's worthless. It's like someone offering you a big bag of garbage for just $1, the answer is NO despite the low price because it's garbage!!!
Great place friendly knowledgeable staff. Haven't built a PC in yrs, was out of touch with new technologies which the staff was nice enough to bringe up to speed. 1st time singing up for a Canada computer membership and ordering from the site directly however their is a learning curve on ordering such as when you see in store special order, it means they don't have it in store and they need to order it in which can take a 2 days to 2 months as they do not know for certain what the eta will be. Honestly I just go to EBay or Amazon and have it in a few days. I will continue to buy from Canada Computers if item is in store or they can give an ETA..if not Amazon here I come.
Two stars for friendly staff, but the supervisor was willing to cash in on what could have easily been my ignorance. Only after phoning in, putting the item (HTC Vive) on a hold, walking to the store that day, looking at the order, did I see the price was set to approx $170 more than the newly slashed (from 1,100 to 800) retail as of a month prior. It was only then that I asked and was told candidly that was why it wasn't sold yet. As someone with a passing knowledge on the technology I come to rely upon for a living (art, animation, video editing).. I cant say I would trust NCIX to take my interests to heart if I had anything less than a fully informed purchase to make. Had I been told over the phone about this, not made to waste my time, and aided to find the best option, this would have been a 5 star review from a grateful future customer. Going with Newegg from now on
I was very well served by the crew at Canada Computers Waterloo! They did an awesome job! However, I can't recommend the online store. If you buy at their website, choose the Waterloo store and pick it up there.
Solid customer service by friendly staff. Good selection and comparable prices.
Excellent and knowledgeable staff.
Looks like it has reasonable selection, but that's the only good thing I can say. I wanted to open a keyboard package to try typing on it before buying it, as it was one of the few that one didn't have a display model out on the shelf. Was told I could buy it and "return it if it didn't work" because they didn't want to open the package. Not really sure what a physical store is for if you can't make sure the product works for you before you purchase it. I was likely going to buy it, but worst-case, they'd have gotten that missing display model. It's too bad. I'm in the market for a new PC. This would have gone a long way towards me buying it there. Instead I'll probably be getting both online. I certainly won't waste my time going back there again. Sorry gents.
Went in twice first time was before there grand opening was treated well and told I would save a lot of money if I came back the following week for there grand opening. When I came back for the opening I was treated even better and a staff member spent an hour of there shift helping me pick the best parts within my budget I am very satisfied with my experience at Canada Computers and will return when I need anything new.
Perhaps I've just been lucky, as I've heard the customer horror stories from friends and family, but I've always received great service when in the local store. On some busy occasions, I've had to wait for service but, on others, I have been actively approached while browsing to see if I needed assistance. There seem to be a few staff that enjoy what they are doing and know their stuff (at both the component and system level). I recently received some advice on a home theater PC build that, once I researched further, was confirmed to both accurate and helpful. Like other reviewers, I do suggest visiting the website first if you know what you're looking for, as there have been occasions where the sale price had not yet been posted at the store.
Had a great experience at this location. The staff were very friendly and did a great job helping me purchase a new office chair. I would highly recommend this location!
Excellent service, good prices. How do you unsubscribe from the newsletter?
Awful customer service. Employees are lazy, and more often than not, extremely stupid. If you have to go to this terrible store, make sure you know exactly what you want, because it is likely the employees will simply avoid you. Also they have truly reprehensible return policies. Id strongly encourage pc builders to take their business online, and drive this awful store out of business.
Beware!!!Horrible product and service. I bought a laptop from them and in less then a month the battery wouldn't charge past 94%. I decided to let it be because it didn't affect the performance and now after having it for 2 months it is broke. They refuse to repair it or replace it or refund me. I was told they would fix it if i bring it to them several hrs away and at my expense I am now stuck with a computer i cant use and am out a lot of money. I trusted them because they say Microsoft certified refurbisher i guess i was wrong. I will be contacting Microsoft only to tell them their name is associated with such poor service. I feel like i have been scammed. The pic is of the only thing that comes up on my computer. I am warning everyone i can. Dont waste your money.
Had to update rating to 1 star after my son was told he has to pay a few more dollars for the same replacement. NOT acceptable and NOT good business practice. Purchased fairly expensive headphones & warranty. One side didn't work right out of the box. Tried varying things with settings etc, still no luck. Went back to store next day to be told they're out of stock and they'll order a new pair in, call when they're in and it should be about 2 days. 9 days later still no call. If it's going to take that long, maybe allow the full reimbursement option when you can't deliver what you say you can instead of telling us in store credit only. OR even allow us to get a different pair that may be a couple $ more (not over $10) and eat that charge as a show of good faith and business practice. I'm sure it doesn't happen often, so should be no issue. Also, your sales staff might need to be retrained in customer service or hire staff who have a little background in computers and hardware etc.
Bought my ready go system from the Vancouver Broadway store almost a year ago... I stream and game frequently. My case fans were starting to get really loud. I called and asked the Burnaby location if the fans are covered under the 1 year warranty and it is! So I brought it in.. also mentioned that I’ve had a couple blue screens and freezes after the last time they replaced my RAM (earlier this year, another issue that they fixed with no questions.. one of my original RAM sticks was faulty, so they swapped it with new ones) The Tech was able to identify two fans with worn out bearings and replaced them.. and also replaced the radiator fan. Of course having all 3 front case fans replaced would’ve been ideal but this was still great service! He also adjusted my RAM settings in the bios to run at optimum settings. I’m kind of regretting not buying the extended warranty.. which includes free cleaning once a year. That peace of mind for another 2 years would be amazing haha.. oh well, I’ll definitely continue doing business with Canada Computers in the future.
Good service, knowledgeable staff, lots of stuff in stock. Will be back!
Customer service here is pure trash. Staff are very unmotivated and unenthusiastic. It's like they don't want you to come. One of the guys is either eternally depressed or really hates his job.
Big retail store and plenty of staff around to help. All street parking in this area is pay parking. Well organized layout. Just came here to pickup an online order.
Great selection in store, had a very wide range of products and variety. Unfortunately the associate behind the counter was offering more than what I set out for was needed and talking down to me, it seemed as if he wanted to be correct when me and my friends of knowledge not the products already
Great friendly and helpful staff, I go there for all my computer needs.
I mean wow is all i can say. Wont be returning. How can you run a successful business when your cashiers is constantly flirting with the staff. When i come to pay for merchandise I dont want to hear your employees hitting on eachother like its high school. I frequently shop at the whitby location and let me tell you the world of difference. You walk and are greeted with a smile and asked if you need a hand. Here in oshawa, you have to wait until the female is done flirting with the male employees for them to even acknowledge you. You have questions? Better wait. Need help ? Better wait. My advice is , stay away from the oshawa location and go to whitby!
It is a computer store with decent prices and great service.
Not the biggest selection but it gets the job done.
Same place Tiger Direct used to be. Better that Tiger Direct was tho. The place is STOCKED! Lots to choose from, good products, good prices. The staff was mostly helpful (couple of guys and what looked like a manger standing up front more interested in their chat than customers). Got what I needed at a price I was happy with and got out in no time flat!
Won't pickup their phones. Want me to go in person, in the middle of Covid19 to backorder a graphics card. I have no issue going there to pickup, since that's actually reasonable in preventing scalpers
Went in to purchase a monitor and they weren't price matching.. salesperson was rude and short and wouldn't offer an explanation. I walked out without purchasing. London drugs had the same monitor $80 cheaper, and with their price protection guarantee, they had it $100 cheaper during boxing week which was refunded without question or issue. I think I made the right choice. Would not go back to this location.
Lovely and helpful staff! They have the best prices!
I had ordered RAM 15 days ago from these guys and one of the RAM sticks was giving me the blue screen of death and was faulty. I opened a ticket 15 days ago with my order number (2091207) and have not heard anything back. Absolutely shoddy and terrible customer service and I will not be purchasing anymore products from Canada Computers.
Coming from Ontario, it was awesome to see Canada computers in the lower mainland. Staff at this location are super knowledgeable and helpful. Will definitely be back!
Worst place for customer service. I used to be a most loyal customer, maybe because in 15 years I never had a need to return anything. Until this January, that is. I bought a 2 port USB 3 controller in December that broke down in three weeks after installation. When I took it back to the store, not only did they refuse to honor the warranty printed on the receipt, they actually accused me of being a liar and a cheater, trying to return a different product to them. I cannot remember EVER being this badly mistreated. I wish I could rate this place with a negative 5
I am 14 years old and the first time i went here was awesome.The customer service is awesome, the employees are super nice and they have soooo much stuff
Terrible service, completely disinterested staff that seem like all they want to do is be as unfriendly as possible. Stay away.. other big box stores have better staff.
Staff are unpleasant and don't care about you. They are rude and they are unwilling to answer a question such as, " do you offer returns?". I went there because I had no other choice; wouldn't recommend to anyone. Try MicroCenter in the US.
Neat, clean store with friendly employees. Large selection of computer hardware and limited software.
So amazing. That have so much computer parts. If you are looking to upgrade your PC this is one of the best places to go.
Had to get a refund for a product that wasn't broken (a charger for a laptop that WAS broken) and they were super understanding. Thank you. When I bought the charger I wasn't as prepared as I would like. I had my laptop but not my specs with me. The guy was nice enough to try several chargers to see which would fit.
Great knowledgeable staff.
I don't like to complain...but. I have used these guys in the past for many computers and repairs etc. I went here this year, and nobody was interested in helping me. When I finally found someone to help, they weren't very helpful. Am looking elsewhere for computers and repair services.
In Waterloo, as a one-stop for computer components, this is the place to go. Lots of selection and great prices drive my four star review. However, if you don't know what you're looking for, or need some tech help, this may not be the place to go. There's always so many staff around that aren't all that interested in helping. It's getting better, but still not a place a send people who aren't techie.
great selection, awsome staff, good prices. I will be back for my future PC purchase.
Extremely helpful guys here!
Helpful, good selection, got our graphics card here and enjoyed it!
It's an overly hot, sterile and devoid of personality environment. Just like my nerd body. It's perfect!
Reasonable prices and best place for refurbished products but very few options though. The staff was welcoming except one person who was the cashier there named Jennifer, she pretty much needs to be trained on how to handle a customer and needs to know that they are to be respected. She is someone whom I would never hire, specially when it comes to her attitude. She is the only reason for me to give 3 stars out of 5 because I spent close to 500$ there and bought a laptop that meets my expectations but still you know my experience was pretty much worse because of her. Hopefully the management looks into that and does the needful.
This place may be okay for consumers but beware if you are a business customer who requires care and attention be given to the products you purchase. Canada Computers will not allow you to test any of their products before you buy them, without charging you a 10% restocking fee. Kevin told me "Sorry dude, thats the policy - I just work here". Eddy Pang (Manager) told me that he would rather I not shop here if I wished to test out a potentially $20k purchase to outfit my entire business.
Naqiyah is awesome!
Canada Computers has been my church that I visit almost every week for computer parts I don't even need. From my Pentium 3 (WITH MMX technology!) to my Threadripper, Canada computer is preferred over best buy, future shop or other places if they still exist. Where else right now can you pay for your computer parts with Bitcoin used with the same parts you bought it from? It's like the tech circle of life. I admit I'm a nerd and I could ramble on forever so I'll awkwardly end this review.
Friendly staff, good customer service. Actually know things about the products.
Friendly and quick service when it comes to curbside pick-up. Remember to text the right phone number that's showing at their door and not the text that has your phone#. Learned my lesson.
Had the laptop I use for school do the blue screen of death, even though it’s an hp and put up a good fight - Cody managed to backup my entire hard drive. Explained errors to me and I can do in the future to avoid this again (as well as gave me a great reminder on the importance of backing up data) suggested affordable external hard drives and really helped me a ton (especially on a student budget). Literally beyonddddd grateful for the initiative he took when helping me, the follow up and just the general reassurance that I wasn’t as doomed as I felt. Cody deserves a raise, or more. Seriously great service!!
Top notch customer service and support. I dealt with Liam and he was truly outstanding. My first time at CC but I'll be back. You can count on it.
Good service. Great store for computers and related. They have tech support as well.
Staff are always helpful and polite. I've shown up 30min to close and have had the same level of service I'd get at any other time of day.
Friendly staff and a great selection. My go-to shop for tech whenever I'm in the area.
NCIX Vancouver is the best! Great customer service and knowledge, great prices, and quick service and shipping. Thank you NCIX for a great experience with building me the best gaming computer at an amazing price!
The worst customer support I've ever received in my whole life.
Clean, organized, friendly knowledgeable staff. Isles might be a bit close together for keeping your distance, but otherwise great.
Great selection, great prices, fantastic staff. Staff: Over the years having built a few computers myself I found that many places have staff that quite honestly don't know what they're talking about. Canada Computers however is very different, the staff are very knowledgeable about the products they stock and don't hesitate to ask other staff members for opinions or quickly research information that they may not know themselves. They are always easier to find the components or products that fit your needs and budget as well as unlike some other places I have visited I have never had any staff member from Canada Computers trying upsell me or try and convince me to purchase a product I do not need. Prices: while prices for electronics especially electronic components can fluctuate fairly quickly I have always found that Canada Computers has well maybe not the lowest prices but they are definitely close and struggle to find a place where I can purchase everything I need at a lower price. Selection: very rarely have I ever needed a component for a computer that I have not been able to find in-store or at the very least or durable online to Canada Computers. On another note Canada computers is quick to deliver and their office staff are very friendly in the event of any issue with shipping or your order, for example Canada Computers called me to notify me that the all-in-one water cooling Loop for my CPU was backordered for multiple months and asked if I wanted to wait or if I wanted to choose a very similar product which was actually $10 cheaper I always enjoy visiting Canada Computers whether it's with a laundry list of computer components or just for a USB Drive
Canada Computers is the best place in canada to buy any computer related hardware. You can find printers, speakers, monitors, cases, cabinets, wallmounts, cartridges, network tools, keyboards, mice, processors, graphics cards etc... The thing i like the most about this place is that they have around 15-20 pcs setup to test out the latest AAA titles for free on the latest hardware so you get to know what type of performance you’re gonna get before buying anything. Then they have the largest collection of the graphics cards that i have ever seen. They also have the latest ssds in stock as well. With all this they also have a 15 days no questions asked return or exchange policy on select items. My overall experience here was very satisfactory with the helpful staff and more importantly discounts ????.
Ok prices, ok selection..
I came by on Sunday, and a employee Annie help me find the wifi card of what I need. Very knowledgable, and its working very well, thank you.
Always have what you need
I have dealt with Canada computers for many years in different cities. This one has got to have some of the worst customer service. I reluctantly go in there and only if I really need something that day. Most times I will buy it online or go to another store to have better service and a better return policy. It's sad there is not more competition.
I honestly cannot thank enough the whole staff here. Specially CHASE, RAVEN & GAVIN. I ordered online PC parts and asked them to assemble it. Even with the whole COVID meltdown ..the team was quite efficient and helpful in each and every call. CHASE even helped me to identify the incompatibility in the parts selected. Moreover, I cannot be more thankful to RAVEN to make the whole process an easy smooth transaction and also to answer my million questions I had. (Specially for a person who is a computer Noob) :D Hands down one of the best stores in the ontario ..!!
Best computer specific store in town
Computer shop for tech savvy people
Great store and even better customer care. If your a tech savvy they got what you need and know what you mean when you talk tech, if your a parent or partner or just not tech savvy they know what you mean when you say I need that thing for the other thing and will not only help you find it but help you understand and get the best one for your need. The online orders with shipping a class, fast cheap shipping if not free and that 500 dollar thing you bought that amazon or other places will leave at your door no they will try next day or you can pick it up so no worries if you won't be home on that rainy day. When it's I need to get a part or wire etc I go here every time
The store is really nice and the product selection is pretty good. I have bought lots of things here over the years as I like being able support a local business. The most frustrating thing about Canada Computers is their policies. I ordered a open-box Joby tripod and it was missing a part, and although they accepted the return, they tried offering me a $20 discount which didn't even cover the price of the missing part. Their policy on price matching is also super frustrating. I wanted to buy a hard drive that was $4 cheaper either from Dell, NCIX, Amazon Canada and Newegg. They would only price match NCIX, Newegg, Best Buy or a local add. Long story short, NCIX offered free shipping but Canada Computers still added shipping and lost the sale over $4. I completely understand this with price differences over $10 or $20 but cut people some slack and just price match under $10 and not hassle me over it.
This place has the worst customer service bar none. I went in, 1 customer in the store (me), 8 employees minimal all chatting away in a corner. I was going to buy one of the higher end GPUs from them, but after standing around for a while I decided that the $1000+ sale was going somewhere else.
Real bad customer experience. I was working for a company that was ordering often at ncix as the accountant. We had our account blocked every week because we had a credit limit of 1500 $. We were buying for 25 k per year of computer stuffs. The problem was the process for making payment was long because our company had to get authorisation for payments from headquarters in LA and we were in Montreal. But we were always paying. When I contacted them about this issue they almost laughed at me saying they would see into that matter and come back later to me. They did come back but with a no answer stating that they just don't allow higher limits. Customers - companies are relationships that have to be cared and growth gently. It also goes both ways. You get a bad service you have an unhappy customer.
Very dishonest and rude. Bought a joystick that was sold as new but was used and broken.
Friendly, helpful, knowledgeble staff. Prices pretty standard. Parking is difficult.
I will only ever buy PC parts here. The staff are more than helpful and it's so easy to replace defective parts. They will make sure your new parts work properly before swapping them. There are always sales too so you don't have to commit $1000 on a new GPU. They price match so if you see something cheaper on Amazon, it's still better to buy it here.
A few issues here. Purchased a gaming computer here and 2 days in, started having kernel panic errors in which the computer would randomly restart. Had been told there was a 30 day swap warranty when we purchaed it. When we took it back in to exchange, service (that acted that we were disturbing their day) gave us grief because we had installed a card in the computer (that we had purchased from them the same time as the computer), as that apparently voided the warranty, even though sales told us at the time that we could install it ourselves. If they expect us to follow policies that their store has in place, then they need to be provided with the computer purchase. Also, the service department needs to be located or managed that they aren't getting hassled every minute for things the sales staff should be doing, such as networking qu and non-system returns.
these guys know what they are doing ! i built my PC for the first time and i needed some peripherals ! usually you would think a shop would always try to get their low sales product go first but no one gentlemen at this shop helped me pick my first PC gaming headset. amazing Recommendation and after a month i picked up my first wireless gaming mouse and again he gave me a great recommendation. unfortunately i dont know his name but i will be calling and asking for his name. if you are reading this review! thanks a bunch ! all u guys who want to build a pc go to this location ! they will help you in the right way ! i have a rtx 2080 i will be upgrading to the TI soon ! and this place will be my choice of sale ! most of the times their price is lower than amazon ! for the guy who works there i was their today and i bought a hyper 2x headset a while ago and today i got the g703 ! you rock buddy !
Store employees were good. The store manager was aloof and indifferent (didn't even respond to my good bye) after I just dropped $5K on the place. Perhaps she should look toward the London store for guidance on customer attention. London is excellent.
Very impressed by the selection of equipments they sell here! More cables than any shop I've seen in Vancouver. Lots of computers equipments in stock. They even sell niche stuffs like portable audio amps, soundboards that are close to impossible to find in shops in Vancouver. Way better than NCIX. The price is better and service is faster and friendlier than NCIX too. Happy with the new addition to the neighbourhood.
Brought my desktop in to be serviced. The staff were very friendly and quick at their job, was in and out in no time. Said I would here back in a few days. Overall very satisfied.
Great selection of computer stuff, much better than Best Buy. Little disappointed with the lack of assistance as the reps who were just standing around would only point me in the right direction vs helping me find the appropriate products.
5 stars when you're allowed in the store, one star when you have to wait in line outside of the store.
I don't understand all of the negative reviews. I know they are a new location and the selection in-store could be better but the service and helpfulness of the staff were very good. I went in to pick up parts for a new PC build and they had most things in stock. I did check their inventory online first to make sure parts were available. Staff were quick and friendly to gather up my list of items and ring me out quickly. I even added myself to their loyalty program to accumulate points. Wish them all the best! Update: Looks like almost all of the bad reviews are from fake reviewers. How can all of these people have visited stores in Ontario, Illinois, North Carolina, etc.?
Horrible experience. My monitor was impacted brand new out of the box. No damage to the box itself. I opened it, noticed it and brought it right back same day. Only to be told they would not replace it right away as they have no way of knowing I did not break it. What an insult! They stand behind their policy rather then helping the customer. Send it back get your credit and give me the monitor I paid for....no no our policy is customers last. Make sure they open you items and prove they work before finishing a transaction with this place. Never again will I shop here and I will never recommend.
Not good in service. Come on guys. Smile!!
Great service, I bought a gamer laptop, and regret it later (I should have bought a work laptop). I was able to return it an get a full refund. I was very well treated and they didn't even charge for swap my custom SSD for the original HD. I also got a Chromecast and a case for my SSD. I recommend it for everybody.
One of my favourite spots to get computer components, have used numerous times and always leave happy. Competitive prices, and the website is great for checking inventory levels or even ordering.
They have a huge selection, pretty much everything you need. Not the most helpful employees. I bought a power supply and asked for tips to install and it seemed like I was asking them to build a rocket ship. Was told to go home and try to install and if not working I have 15 days to bring back .. thanks tips
Bought a Steelseries Arctis 7 from here after my headset died the night before. I walked in, asked where the headsets were and a very kind gentleman walked me over to them. I said thank you and he awkwardly kind of stood behind me waiting for me to choose. It was nice that he was there and ready to answer questions, actually even recommended the one I got. I think they may have issues with people stealing, or something similar. They are VERY friendly but it seemed very surveilled. I planned to look around after I picked my headset as I wanted to look into building a new PC but I felt too uncomfortable to do so. Again, very friendly staff but I think they're overprotective of people potentially stealing.
Great place for computer parts and offer variety of different gaming/office chairs to try out
Great service. So glad they are there.
Sales Associate was helpful explaining about deals and which is practical
zero star if I can pick. The worst store I ever met. Request a price protection online because pandemic, customer service responded one week later after store hour which the day end of promotion, he said I should ask store. went to store next day but the local store said it has already end the promotion, nothing he can do. What kind beautiful trick they played.
Build my first PC thanks to the helpful staff here. It was extremely stressful finding the right components on my own however Mikey and Sean went above and beyond to insure that my build goes well. They continue to provide exceptional …
Great prices on anything computer related
A place for those who are into computers for sure. You will find mouse, keyboard, monitors, cords, tv mounts, gaming chairs, kitchen machines, speakers, sound systems, vacuum, headphones, consoles, cameras, printers, scanners and many more.
I've never personally had any issues as some reviewers mention, but it's difficult not to feel a slight discomfort when entering the store. As though the staff dislike outsiders, plan your decisions carefully or else you might encounter a level 99 elf lord with +5 mana boost.
Phenomenal customer service! I needed a Display port monitor splitter that they unfortunately didn't have in stock. The amazing staff searched around other locations and even called to put it on hold for me. Store is well organized and everyone was incredibly friendly.
Used to be a good place to shop for computer parts and accessories. But fortunes have changed. The cashiers are long gone and now you have to stand in line for 10 minutes waiting for one of the salespeople to help some guy browsing every video card known to mankind.
No wonder one of the best services for the people who need technical advices and eager to customize one's desktop. For brand-manufactured pc, best buy would be more preferred. But I was very impressed to receive a good customer service while I saw some critical comments below. Best to avoid the busy time
Love this place! I've been there only once I ordered everything for pick up and one guy helped me with choosing a fan for my PC. The girl on a pick up service was so nice she even asked me if I need a taxi because I was getting home by bus with my new 2000$ PC only a case was 10.3kg. I built my PC and everything is perfect, never crushed!
Kept my laptop for 4 months, telling me it's fixed 3 times, only to ultimately tell me they couldn't fix it. Will never use their services again.
Great place for getting advice if you need it as well as getting the parts you need for your PC build along with other things
Every time I go in here, it doesn't matter who I talk to... they're super friendly and knowledgeable. I built my first computer last summer and they were amazing at helping me pick out the best components and were patient with my while I was messaging my computer guy to confirm. I don't love the location but it's worth the drive from Welland and mall parking lot woes.
Better prices than across the street. Professional and prompt staff. No concerns.
They have a good selection of computer related stuff at decent prices. Store appearance is rather bland but you don't buy products based on looks right....
Very friendly and helpful and they make sure you wear a mask and clean your hands
good place and nice stafff
Huge selection at great prices, staff are decently knowledgable, but somewhat hard to find. Almost all the time I end up going to this store, because they seem to have it all, would recommend if you want one stop for electronics.
They had what I wanted in stock so I order led it for store pickup. The order process was simple. When I arrived at the store there was quite a long line up to get in. All-in-all about 30 minutes to get in and pick up my part. Other than the wait -which is understandable these days - the whole process was efficient and easy.
I get almost all my PC and networking stuff here. Got a few phones too over the years. The pandemic made things a bit messy. Online orders are fine. The other day I was in the area and needed a new router as mine died. They have posted outside their door 2 numbers. One to text your order#and they will let you pay for it. The other is to call in to place an order by phone. After a while they picked up and refused to let me order by phone. Rona will do it. Don't know why they won't. I ordered what I needed online elsewhere as I would not be in the area for some time. :/
There is not Customer service at all guys super rude and extremely unfriendly it feel like they ware doing me a favour answering my questions will never set a foot in that store
Everything you need for your home electronics and very knowledgeable staff...they're a total bunch of nerds, exactly the people that should be running a computer store! Haha
I shop here for my computer needs. The staff are great; very friendly and knowledgeable, and there is no sales pressure. They have competitive prices and will price match too.
Covid-19 crisis or not, DO NOT SHOP HERE! This is my second bad experience with Canada Computers Halifax location.. The first was when I went looking for a case which showed in stock on the website. After looking myself and being unable to find it, I asked the clerk. He said if it wasn’t on the shelf they didn’t have any (there was supposed to be more than 1 in stock). He wouldn’t look it up in the system even though the store wasn’t busy (unusual, the place is normally quite busy). I left and immediately ordered it on the website for pickup in store, next morning I got the email that my item was ready for pickup. Now with Covid and their curbside pickup.. It has been seven days without any word on pickup. No answer at the phone, no response through email. They definitely took my money for the product though! I’ll be charging it back on my credit card and never do business with Canada Computers again. UPDATE: Still no response from Canada Computers and their curbside pickup isn’t really curbside. You have to wait to be let into the store to pick up your product. Ridiculous.
Worked with Matt (PC tech) during my visit. I walked in expecting to just replace my power supply and then test it in the store but realized I should let the guys do the installation and tests instead. They were knowledgable and helpful. The process was quick and easy. I would recommend the staff here.
Product selection seems to be less impressive than it was a couple of years ago.. That being said, the customer service is just fine. It seems the only people who have a problem with it are people who do not understand the concept of a restocking fee - usually in place to encourage people actually figure out what they need/want to buy before buying it.
Great stock friendly staff and very informative
Handled pick up of my online order very efficiently and strictly controlled access to store for COVID-19 health measures.
Could spend hours in this store
The staffs at the store were helpful. We spent almost 2 hours there, comoaring prices and different brands and prices, left and came back after dinner to make our decision because we bought close to $900 of computer parts. The staffs were very patient and helpful in that process.
Pretty accessible location with parking. Plenty of variety in stock and a place to test out mech keyboards which is pretty nice. Social distancing practiced. However service was just average.
Great location, helpful and had in stock $30 what another location said would cost $300. Will be back for more tech needs.
Knowledgeable employees who clearly care about their customers! Was overwhelmed going in, as someone who is building their first pc, but was saved hours of research by their extremely helpful team. Would give 10 stars if I could.
I order A LOT of our equipment from NCIX. Friendly and fast. When there is a problem (rare) it's solved quickly and professionally.
Please please please never close down... Best Buy sucks, we need good computer stores like this one to exist.
their online service is very poor. bought a ram stick online and wanted to cancel the order, first customer service took so long to reply to emails that they said will be replied to in 1-2 business days. then i wanted to cancel order and i have sent multiple order cancellation requests but still they wont reply after 3 days. now i dont even know when they will cancel the order and i will get my money back
Very knowledgeable and helpful. Came in with a broken pc. No idea what was wrong. But they helped us very fast and told us what to buy
I normally do not go out of my way to write bad reviews but this store takes the cake. In an effort to buy a graphics card I called the store 6 times in one day trying to see if they had any in store, not a single answer. I gave up for the day. The next day I try calling a little earlier shortly after they opened and got an answer almost immediately. I asked if they had any 3060's, they said they had a 3060ti for $689, score. Since they can't hold it for me I rush down there, a 30 minute drive out of my way. I get there, it's on the shelf for said price, get through the entire transaction including making an account with them whole thing took probably more than 5 minutes. Final price pops up on screen... $1004.... what? Card was priced wrong it was actually $899, over $200 more than what was discussed on the phone and displayed in store. When questioned the employee offered no apology for the mistake and instead just said "oh that's an old price". That price being close to scalper prices we decided to not buy it and drove another 30 minutes back emptyhanded. Worst customer service ever, guy talked way too fast and I didn't understand a word he said and when he screwed up no apology was offered at all. Never going back, I recommend you go somewhere else.
The perfect place for electronics and computers. Just like radio shack but much cheaper.
What an orrible experience. I am handicapped and I struggle to stand. I leaned on the conter for support while I was going to ask a question. Well I was shouted at for havjng my hand on the counter. I just left.....
Great selection and price for a brick and mortar location.
Went in with my absolute zero computer knowledge looking for a solution. Was lucky enough to be helped by a guy named Mark M. I let him know that I knew nothing, he assured me it was no problem and using analogies I understood , basic explanations and a really kind demeanour he walked me through and got me everything I needed. I’d highly recommend this store and if you have the chance try and see Mark M as he was so knowledgeable, kind and easy to work with.
I always run into an employee at the entrance eager to help. I've not once had to search what I went in for. Makes getting what you need and back out a record breaking event! Saves me a lot of money as well, or otherwise I'd be walking out with a bunch of stuff I didn't need, as I'm addicted to spending money on tech :-). It's a nice big, clean store full of friendly people. Give it a visit today!
Helpful and friendly. Will be back.
Easily one of my favorite stores in all of London, the staff is always very helpful to shoulder always will start and they're usually cheaper than any other computer store around. Would recommend this to anybody looking for computer parts or a full computer or even a laptop
Always find decent deals and nice professional looking displays always find what I am looking for and everything I visit the staff are always ready to help
Great service!! Very satisfied with the staff and store.
Taking forever to get a response from these people about my RMA
Real good people, really informative and helped a lot, they also teaches us with detail and facts and had patience I would highly recommend this place and the employee I want to thank Kristian. For helping me shop
Good selection of items. Disappointed with staff assistance. I was looking for an item, the person stocking shelves didn't want to assist and said they weren't sales so if I wanted help I would have to go find someone else. No problem, I will find another store that's willing to assist.
I was looking for for a tablet and I called and I spoke with Joseph and he was really nice and I put the tablet on hold. I arrived at the store and asked for the tablet, it was an open box. I spoke with customer service representative and explained to her that it is open box so I should receive a discount on the item because somebody else already used it, touched it, and returned it. It is covid. She said it is not company policy to give a discount on open box so I asked to speak with the manager. She then proceeded to yell from behind the counter the manager's name who was in the back office, very unprofessional. She was so rude to me. She had horrible customer service. The manager came out and explained to me that they do not give a discount on open-box and if I have any issues to contact head office. I was really turned off by this whole situation and especially the customer service representative who had the worst attitude. I never give bad reviews but I will not return again.
Busy, busy, busy This location is turning into one of my favourite stops when looking for computer related stuff. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to take the time to talk to you. As with every retailer at this time, stock is an issue and it never ceases to amaze me that the cable I want is the one sold out. Nonetheless, it's a comfortable location for sourcing your computer related components from desktops through to tablets.
Used to be a nice store with big selection, but ever since the pandemic, prices have become absolutely absurd. For instance, the memory express across the street that is less than a 2-minute walk away sells 3000/6000 series cards for a few hundred dollars cheaper without requiring you to purchase a full system. For the cards this Canada Computor does sell, they're far above msrp, priced even higher than eBay scalpers. A GTX 1660 super was priced nearly 650 today and the 2060 was about 750. It's clear that Canada computors as a whole is taking advantage of the shortage and trying to leach as much value from customers as possible.
Great customer service, decent prices a tiny bit cheaper on other web stores but a store in real life is anyways better, They have nearly anything you would want for your computer they even had a Logitech G920 racing wheel which i shouldn't have ordered online a while ago.
What a great experience at Canada computer Burnaby. Lined up about 30 mins to get in, due to covid. Kristian welcome me and my friend in the store. I tried to get some info about the AMD GPU I preorder few weeks back. Kristian not only gave me well explanation what's going on with the AMD situation, also help me check my spot. Then I ask some other question about Nvidia GPU. Again he gave me all the answer I am looking for. He's service is well belong my expectation, since I don't have much good experience with Canada computer Richmond . Guys, I swear you will be worth the time to go visit Canada computer Burnaby. They will not disappoint you. Thanks again Kristian .
Guys, this is a 'FACTORY OUTLET' themed store. They ARE NOT focused on 'Customer Service' -- They are focused on Volume and Price. --- DONT COMPLAIN - this is the way they are. …
Good Service
I never plan on going back there. Ask them specifically to do something for my motherboard to make a CPU compatible and they didn't even properly do it. Making it seem that the CPU was broken when in fact they never flashed the BIOS to the latest version like I asked them to which would've made it work and management just brushed it as the employee did it for safety compatibility reason which wasn't even the case since the manufacturer provides the BIOS update. Only positive thing that came out of this is I now have a solid PC repair place that knows what they are doing.
Most staffs are nice but some of them aren't too friendly. For some reason, everytime I went the store are pretty unorganized. Besides that, I ordered a laptop and a few components for my PC and they never reach out to me once the parts arrived until I call them.
I bought just about everything to build a PC from this location. I dealt with Moore, Niraj and Eddie. No issues. Service was good and honest. Ran into a snag with my purchase of Windows 10 on USB. Product key was fine but the USB was not bootable. It was a bit of a complicated situation and they resolved in a reasonable amount of time. I'm seeing some people report bad service but I didn't find this. Remember: Customer service is a two way street. If you want good service, you have to be a good customer and vice versa.
Terrible customer service. I was shopping with my friends for a monitor and some computer peripherals. We were just about to finish up our shopping when Jacob came up to us to rudely tell us that we were taking too long shopping and he wanted people to leave the store within 10-15 minutes of coming in. I understand that there are COVID guidelines that the store is required to follow, however, if the staff wanted us to leave within 15 minutes, that is something they could have conveyed to us when we first entered the premises. Furthermore, the way that Jacob told us that we needed to hurry up and finish our shopping was extremely rude. It was clear that we weren't welcome there, so we left and took our business to a different location near Burlington where the staff was much more friendly and welcoming. I would not recommend going to this location, and especially not recommend working with Jacob. Horrible customer service.
Courtice / Oahawa location should close down or hire new manager and staff. Poor service, go to Ajax or Whitby store were they actually care about customers no matter how busy they are!!!
Cheapest computer parts in town, and friendly staff. Too bad management seems to hate you and everyone else. Do note that stock is very limited and ordering things in takes forever. Also price matching is non existent despite what the website claims. Also if you return things, there might be a restocking fee. Edit: customer service is non existent anymore and no one picks up phones. The website list things that are unavailable and let's you order, until you arrive on site.
Always fast and efficient with friendly staff
Be very careful when dealing with this location of Canada Computers. I went in on December 1st to purchase a Window's 10 Pro Operating System and went to pay with my Visa Card. When I went to use my card the first time there was a Error message that appeared so I used it again with the magnetic strip and punched my pin number and it went through. When I got home I went on my online banking and it showed on my Visa that I was charged twice for the same purchase. I printed off the screen shot and went back to Canada Computers and tried to explain to them what happened and they were very un-cooperative and very un-helpful and told me it's my banks problem and that I should go to them which I did and filed a dispute. Again, very un-cooperative and very un-helpful. I doubt I will deal with them again.
Placed an order for a back ordered item back in February when I was told it would take 3-4 weeks. 3 months later I get a call to confirm my information and was told 2 more weeks. A month later another call saying they will no longer guarantee to get the item, and was offered a lesser alternative at a higher price which I reluctantly agreed to, I called back a few minutes later to switch back to my original choice only to be told I could no longer do that, that I had to take the lesser more expensive item or cancel my order. They were unwilling to refund over the phone and forced me to come to the store. Funny note, I called other locations and they confirmed to me that they were continuously receiving and fulfilling their back orders for the same item I had initially ordered. Way to take care of your customers. I Will never shop at this location again.
I'm really happy Canada Computers opened up on the West Coast. This location took the old NCIX location, and I'm really glad it did. Stock selection is amazing and the workers there are really helpful. Russell, Naqiyah, and Mateo went above and beyond to make sure that my needs were met. I will be shopping here again as much as I can.
Absolutely no service no help interaction with myself or other customers. They probably love their work as they regale each other of stories about the customer base. If we are not wanted in the store then make it a pick up only or delivery only store. The only person who seemed to know his job was the guy on the cash. But, still didn't know how to deal with questions posed by those older and ran away from the cash if you did not have any merchandise in your hands. Definitely not a repeat customer! Sorry is the closest I would would say about this company as being Canadian.
Best computer store in London. Staff know tbeir stuff. Good selection.
I switched this rating from a 1* to a 4* based on the assistance that I received from one of the store managers, Jay. He was more than helpful and accommodating. For a full 5* I would recommend that Canada Computers change their return policies, something that is outside of the purview of the people working at the store level.
Usually I do not have an issue with this location. But recently I was profiled and followed around the store like a criminal. I've spent thousands of dollars here and they can try and cover it up by sayin they were being helpful but it was so obnoxiously obvious that they assumed I was a thief. Horrible.
Great assistance and customer service by Tryston who was helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back again.
Very knowledgable and helpful staff! Anthony was very friendly and helpful in ordering a small, inexpensive part for us. Very well equipped computer store
Worst shopping experience ever, On December 11th, I purchased a CPU cooler at Canada computer; after the installation, the PC won't boot to win 10; I needed to press F12 and select the boot managers; therefore, I sent the PC to them for technical support take a look. On December 13th around 3:20 PM, before I went to the store, I gave them a call that I was coming in 10 mins; the two gentlemen who sat behind the services counter refused me to do the quick check due to poor space management? and only told me to leave the computer with them, and it will take two to three days for them to finger out why; from my point of view, this is not only lack of internal communication but also no service want to provide to the customer, all they care is the money but F your service. If you read the comments, please save yourself valuable time and money not going there; Memory Express will be a good alternative. Thanks
Knowledgable and friendly service would recommend to anyone to go here
Terrible service, I hope you don't have any problems because it's sure won't be NCIX's problem.
garbage after-sales service
Always make sure the box not opened Because Canada computer they reselling open box as new
Great product selection..However pricing on the shelves was not up to date with the website and required assistance from the staff to find products. Having said that though, they were VERY helpful and went out of their way to assist in finding those products for me. Even opening a box on a new keyboard so I could look at it before purchasing. Awesome store with lots of cool stuff!! Be careful though, as you'll probably end up buying something! LOL!
I was told to go across the street to memory express to price match don't buy from here!
I have to give a shout out to a manager named Curtis. I bought a number of high end components from this store and something kept bricking the motherboard. Curtis himself took the time and actually figured out the problem which was a brand new psu I bought at Mega Computers that was putting out such low power it was frying the motherboard. As I live 4.5hrs from that store Curtis did everything he could to help me out and was polite and understanding the whole time. I can't say the same about his lead service guy though, who was extremely unhelpful and imo disrespectful. I can't say anything until you bring the computer to me was all he said. He's the kind of guy you want to throttle because you know he's good at his job but horrible at customer interaction. Anyways, thanks Curtis for doing what you could, and to the rest of the staff that were also on point.
In times where stores are hurting for Money you would think Customer service would be the most important thing. We were not aware of the store policy as per aquiring items from the store as NoWhere on the website does it say. We went to pick up a item and had the code ready and were turned away and told they couldn't help us. We had to order it online first and then wait for the email ( minimum 30 min) in order for us to aquire our item. I cant believe they turned away a sale!!! I will not be shopping here anymore!!!
I hate having to do this but I've been a customer for over 5 years and recently seeing the direction that the business is heading, I want to warn people that when they deal with this business they need to treat it like gambling. Prepare to lose. Do not take any of the employee's advice, know what you need, do your research beforehand. If you can, just choose Amazon, at least they honour all of their policies.
Ordered something and cancelled it shortly after. Did not receive a refund after 3 weeks. Sent 4 emails, 0 responses. …
Very bad service. The cashier there was being racist towards me.
Clean ,informed , friendly
Excellent Selection
Not trust worthy, bad customer service...
Good location, plenty of parking available, great display of merchandise, friendly and helpful staff. Get all my computer, tablet and phone supplies and components there.
Very knowledgeable staff. Always available stock
Purchased a computer. Very knowledgeable staff
Great service once again from Canada Computers on Wellington Road from Stephen. He helped me pick out the router that would best meet my needs. They are my go-to for computer accessories & supplies.
Horrendously unprofessional staff. They’ll condescend instead of help, seeming while taking great pleasure doing so. Even the manager who was called to assist was incredibly standoffish. How any of these people have jobs is beyond me. Shop at staples instead.
Great supply of parts but a bunch of the staff watch u in the store like ur gunna steal stuff. Its very uncomfortable to have staff members peaking around corners at you. And there return service is atrocious. If u can get it from Memory Express go there instead.
Is it even worth ordering online? I made a order for pick up and hoped to get it the next morning, but never got a email confirming it was ready. I called the same day and a few days later to no answer. A week later it says the order was canceled. Very confusing...
Great store, friendly employee's which are kind and helpful and always have the product that you'd need!
Hudson the tech was a great help and got me exactly what i needed
Return process is terrible! One hour after placing the order on Jul 21 I contacted customer service to cancel the order as I realized the product I ordered was incorrect. I was told I couldn’t cancel the order, had to wait for it to be delivered, and then request a return-a complete waste of resources. In any case, waited for it to be delivered (I give 2 stars only because the item arrived quickly) and I sent it back right away. PC received it on July 30 however I till have not received a refund because they said it takes 2-4 weeks from receipt to process…for this experience alone I would never again order from them, in case I needed to return something
Had what I needed. Was in and out
I'm very mpressed with the staff's helpfulness. I came into the store today looking to return a wireless network card that I thought was incompatible with my computer. And while they were willing to accept the return, the sales associate was able to explain to me what I was missing in the installation and it turned out that I was able to do it after his help. Additionally, he did not make me feel stupid as they were explaining it to me. I will be using this location again in the future.
Excellent service! Guys know their stuff and are quick to help! Great products and prices!
Not sure where all of these negatives reviews are coming from. I purchased a PC recently and had a great experience, the customer service was very helpful and the selection was broad.
Great customer service. I brought my pc in and had Big Mike take a look at a few issues for me and things couldn’t have went better. Would 100% recommend for parts and service.
Just recently purchased a new Canon printer Tried to hook up to my laptop/Chrome book Discovered that it is not compatible with Chrome book Called to see if I could return it and was told no only if it was not opened after 15 days How the hell else would I find out Ask them if they could do anything for me and was told no lously customer service Never shop there again ????????
Masks are mandatory at this location, but if you're unwilling to wear a mask (another visitor, not me), you're going to be harassed and yelled at by the staff, hoping you will get COVID and die.
Question people . When u buy parts it comes with 1 year warranty right . Well theses guys want me to pay $60 per part for warranty . Out of all the years I have built computers I have never heard of this . This place ripps people off . Will never deal here ever again .
I had a great experience at Canada Computers. Alex helped us a lot during the first day, and when we had to return the next day - due to an error on our end, measured the length of Ethernet we needed wrong - Bronson was a great help at doing our exchange! Great knowledge on computer components and a decent selection as well ranging from cases, peripherals, etc although graphics cards are solely online only. You can order for store pickup though from what I gather. Thanks a lot!
Very helpful staff & super nice. They even took time to test the tablet we brought in.
Solid store, typically has all I need and the prices are competitive.
Knowledgeable staff, quite friendly, clean store, lots of product and fair pricing...
Sold me faulty ssd. Made me pay for a more expensive replacment. Bad service. Manager more interested in his lunch then service.
Finding parking after 3:00 is challenging because the parking lane reverts to a bus lane, and the adjacent side street requires a permit to park.
awesome, no problems. Reasonable prices. Especially cat5 crimper $10, thanks for that, I'd be out $50+ anywhere else, even most places online. Nice selection of almost anything too, there's always a cheaper option as opposing to majority of other physical-store electronics retailers.
The staff in general but not all act like you are bothering them and have no interest in helping you. While checking out I noticed a few products way up on the ledge behind counter. I asked about one of them and he looked at me like "don't make me get a ladder" so I left. Toxic location.
Large store with a large inventory. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great prices!! A++
I was after a travel router and they had it at a great price. There is a huge variety of products here. Good service too.
Great selection, helpful staff, prime location. A much-needed addition to Oakville's brick and mortar retail outlets.
Good service and they have some great pricing
Return Policy is very poor during covid.
This is one of my go to places for computer components
Good selection of everything computer related. If you are missing some type of cord and have been unable to find it anywhere else, this is the place to check.
If i could give this place a 0 star I would. Was waiting in line for 14 hours for the release of the 3070 and 3 random people show up 3 hours before opening complaining that there was no one was waiting in line and they just cut to the front of the line. Everyone made complaints but the employee sided with the 3 other people and allow them to go in first. They also said they would "check the cameras" 10 minutes later they come out and say that they "arrived first". These people were most likely the employees friend.
Worst customer service. Had rude and arrogant staff on multiple occasions. On one occasion, I asked for a specific hard drive (which they keep behind the counter) and the guy brought it straight to the cash so I could pay for it, without showing me a close-up to see if it was even the right drive. 20 minutes later when it was my turn, upon scanning the drive I realized the guy brought the wrong model to the front. When the cashier asked him to get the right one, he rudely tried to blame it on me and make it seem like it was my fault. On another occasion, when I was paying for something and they forgot to apply an instant rebate, I mentioned it to the cashier and she replied with a very smarmy "well how was I supposed to know that?". You're the cashier, it's your job to apply the rebates properly! Do not go here expecting any help whatsoever. Know exactly what you need before visiting. Pay for your things and leave. Literally the only reason I go here is because it's within walking distance and I can save money on shipping. Otherwise I would rather order online and not have to deal with the rude staff.
It would have been nice of them to advise one, through their online ad, that there is no browsing in their stores. Waste of time, as I had some questions but felt rather rushed due to the line up behind me outside the door.
Curbside pickup works smoothly. Glad that I can still get things without having to wait for delivery on everything.
Great selection, great staff, reasonable prices - help keep local computers stores alive, I love being able to browse not just order on line
Just buy parts online.
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! I bought a camera online on Thursday, picked it up Friday, tried it Saturday and it was defective. Called the London store (nice staff!) - they weren't sure when or even if they could get a replacement and said they couldn't bring one in from another store. I called their customer support line (again nice but not very helpful staff) - there was a camera in their Milton store but I'd have to drive there from London to pick it up (they wouldn't transfer it to London or ship it to me). Apparently this is a new 'policy' which basically means if you buy something and it's defective there's a good chance all you'll get is a refund because they would sooner lose a customer (which they now have) than have something sent from one store to another. This will be going to the Better Business Bureau!
So I call the store to ask about the correct RAM to upgrade my son’s PC. And I have to call a couple of times before I get beyond voicemail, and I speak to someone. They ask me to send an email, which I do. But there’s no response. Another email and perhaps a dozen calls - but now no-one answers the calls. Very poor service.
They helped me figure it out what was wrong with my computer and didn't even charge me for it
Anthony was an amazing help today! Great store...good advice...great customer service. Thank you.
Small location. Sometimes there isn't enough staff to assist customers with questions. Staff are otherwise very friendly and helpful.
I was in the store shopping Saturday with my face shield on which follows the region bylaw and had interactions with multiple staff members and no one said anything. I go in Sunday to return the item and got yelled at by multiple employees from across the room telling me I had to leave the store because it wasn't a mask. I tried to explain to the employee but they wouldn't listen...this made me irate!!! Never shopping here again!
Absolutely awful! Paid $2500 for a pre-built computer. After about 20 days it started to shut down while playing GTA. Called to see what can be done about them SELLING me a PRE BUILT computer with a power supply that can't keep up with it's specs and told me that I need to pay MORE money just to get it looked at. Went to the manager and he was EXTREAMLY disrespectful. I am extreamly upset that I spent this much money on a piece of junk, only for the manager to say "I don't care." Mike or whatever his name is SHOULD NOT be in that position and needs to be fired asap. If I could give zero stars, I would! Terrible. DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE!!!
Knowledgeable staff, huge product selection, great customer service and good pricing. 5/5
Great staff they had exactly what I needed
Scammers, they ruin things instead of fixing them!
Excellent service! We ordered items online for a local school event and had prompt and efficient service from the staff on pickup in store. When we asked about additional quantities, Vlad was very helpful to get us exactly what we needed, at a great price.
Awesome place there, nice and patient sevice people
Absolutely amazing staff and tech support. Enzo and Chase are knowledgeable and trustworthy professionals. I had a damaged external hard drive. They were clear about what they could or couldn't do to help me recover the data, did all they could, ensured the my device was not damaged in their care, and took the time to explain things to me in great detail so that I understood exactly what was wrong and what I needed to have it fixed. Highly recommend this store for your tech support needs.
WARNING! If you absolutely have no other option to buy, then buy from this store. Worst …
These guys are without a doubt the best around Always my go to store. Took my laptop in to get a second hard drive installed and they had everything in stock and installed it on the spot for me. Works well! Don't go anywhere else but here.
Went in to buy a battery backup (UPS). They had two 260w units made by the same manufacturer, yet different model numbers and pricing. The boxes didn't indicate what the difference was between the two. I asked a representative, who didn't know, who asked another representative that didn't know, and finally a 3rd came and said "one is newer, just like how apple comes out with new iphones, that's the difference". Is customer service not important here? Who is hiring these people?
Prices and parts are decent ... customer service is non existent. I can understand not allowing browsing but when you know exactly what you want and the denie entry because there's 2 of us purchasing ... fine ill buy elsewhere and would advise as well.
Best Canadian computer component store, been shopping there for over 20 years, no reason to go any where else, they got it all!
Give hight quality, but most expensive computer accessories... and i/o devices
Great staff, did a good job fixing my PC.
Thanks, Connor, for all your help selecting the right screen for me! I really appreciate you going the extra mile and making it so easy! But tell your company's social media peeps that they really have to make it easier for people to find this and write reviews! The app is useless :)
The few times ive been here Ive gotten great advice and service. The staff knows their stuff
Stopped in to see if they had any new 30 series video cards in stock and was surprised that they did, but, they wouldn't sell me one unless I bought it as part of a bundle with a motherboard and CPU. Here's the kicker, they don't have the motherboard in stock for the bundle so even if I wanted to spend another $300 to $600 on top of the cost of the card I still couldn't get it. On the shelf but not for sale.....
Curbside pick up was fast. Order was correct and priced were good. Nothing to complain about.
This Review is for the Oshawa, ON location. Currently, Canada Computer's return policy does not allow returns of opened products. It is understandable that they have changed they're return policy in response to the COVID situation. However, the fact that I paid full price expecting a new product ($70 cooler master fan) the company gave me an opened box without informing me; thus, immediately voiding the return policy is unacceptable and bad practice. I called the store and they refused to exchange the product and insisted I prove it's defective in order for an exchange. Additionally, the box was missing all its paperwork (i.e. product information and user manual) proving that it was tampered with. TLDR: Paid full price for new CPU cooling but received an open box that I cannot exchange. The employees were nice but their policies suck tho.
Had a great experience today at Canada Computers. Raj was the sales associate who helped me. He is well informed and understands exactly what I was looking for. Perfect score for customer service!
They are the best! Very knowledgeable and if you need service Matt Is the guy to see!!!
I'm not very well versed in the computer industry but the guys are and they're very helpful
Great
Horrible, horrible return policy. If you can find the item anywhere else do that. Do not buy from this company. Ordered a headset and tried it once it arrived and the sound was terrible. After calling half a dozen times and leaving 4 seperate return request tickets online I finally got a hold of a rep at the store and they told me that once the seal is open it cannot be returned. They didn't feel that "poor sound quality" was a defect. They refused to allow a return. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY.
Low inventory but the sales associate who assisted me, Bronson I believe, was incredibly patient and helpful. I’m very indecisive and he was kind and accommodating during my whole visit. For the customer service, 5 stars.
Great customer service and staff! Mike was extremely helpful in every process of making a great computer setup from picking out parts to picking out a monitor. Great experience!
They were able to quickly and efficiently figure out what was wrong with my build and quickly repair and return during the holiday busy season. Very impressed
Great place for computers and accessories
Decent store, stocking 3080ti's as of sept 12th 2021 (which i bought) for near MRSP. Knowledgeable staff, no complaints
Joshua C was very knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect laptop. He was very friendly and helped us from the second we stepped into the store to 10 minutes after closing! Will refer people to this location!
Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Good prices
Very helpful staff
Ordered online. Emailed me when ready. Pickup took no more than 5 minutes. Love what I bought.
Zindagi
Great staff and very knowledgeable. Keep up the good work and keep helping with technology. Great job
The lady that i talked to today was surprisingly extremely helpful, knowledgable and willing to take her time to help me with my problem. I didnt get her name but this rating is for her, not the store. Thank you!
Favourite Computer store. Must go for anyone who's actually interested in tech. Best Buy has nothing in actual computers and parts
If you want staff who know their stuff and will go the extra mile for you, look no further.
Went in to get an SSD and they price matched it with Memory express no questions asked. great.
Simply the best place for parts and accessories, I got the magical AC Ethernet Plug to hook up my office/game room PC to modem via electrical outlet, works times over times faster than the wifi adapter (router is not close)band it was the best solution. Love their customer service, anything you need a dedicated employee will walk with you for all your needs if required. 6/5 stars if I could.
Refused to do a price match with other Canada retailers(Memory Express, Amazon(SOLD AND SHIP BY AMAZON) etc..). Even tho they wrote it all down on their price policy("Canada Computers & Electronics will beat any Canadian authorized dealer’s current advertised price, fastest shipping method available by 10% of the difference"). Stay away from them and just go to ME instead.
Brought in my PC and paid roughly $100 to have their team install a 1tb m.2 nvme ssd and clone the current ssd in my PC to the new one. They called me two days after I brought it in and said they couldn't do it and instead did a brand new windows install and corrupted my hard drive. How do you corrupt a hard drive when cloning one ssd to another ssd you ask? Who knows. Clearly never bringing my PC back here again. They couldn't do the job I paid for. Guess I learned two lessons: 1. Don't take your PC to the South End Canada Computers and 2. Backup important files on your hard drive even though a computer company should not go anywhere near the hard drive.
Friend and I were greeted by the friendly staff once we entered. While wandering around , one of the staff shadows us around made us feel uncomfortable as if he suspected us of stealing. Other people might find this is a good thing since they're there to ask questions from but continuously following you aisle by aisle is very uncomfortable in our experience. We normally don't get bothered/noticed by this but he is too obvious as if he was hired to solely follow us around and pretending to look around as if he is a secret shopper.
Service Department had been extremely helpful in getting my sons Custom PC up and running the way it should. Customer Service is on point. I will not hesitate to bring my business here in the future. Thanks for all your assistance.
Rude employees
Tried calling their toll free number but tried everyday for a week and only got a voicemail that doesn’t let you leave a message. Tried their email service but no answer.
Customer Service Training is Suggested. As far as the store, price and product offered they are good. However their staff really needs some customer service training. Initially I had a bad experience with a male staff member that didn't go so well. He was short, rude and the item I was looking for he was "pretty sure they had some on the shelf".... ? I thought oh well, they are busy. I decided to give them a second try. Good experience with Jennifer and my online order. Not such a good experience with the pick up. I understand that we in a trying time right now, but the fellow that got my order for me needs some time off and could benefit from some training.
Ricky helped me build a desktop which I have no experience about it. He patiently explained everything and showed me the best options in my badge. Overall it’s a great place!
The new and improved NCIX. Lots of different items on the shelves! Actually feels like a computer store. Plus they have a 1%cash back on purchases over 100$ so that's a bonus you dont see much at other stores! The staff are always friendly and ready to help! Give this place a go :)
Favourite place to get computer parts, the staff are knowledgeable and friendly and I've been going there for years. I just wish they had a second location in the north end of the city.
Very knowledgable staff and good selection of products.
They had the cord I wanted. But closed doors after the customer in front of me even though I was there at 4pm& sign said open until 6pm. No reason was given. No exception even though I told them I drove over half an hour specifically. I don't blame them for closing if they want to 2hrs early if given a REASON
Great knowledgable staff and great customer service.Each employee truly takes the time to work with you to make sure you leave happy with your purchase.
Very Helpful Staff! I wanted to build my first gaming PC and they helped me right away, they are very experienced and gave me just what I wanted. Great prices and discounts on many items throughout the store! I loved it! Definitely recommend.
i had an employee at the vancouver area make me out to be a homeless person when i was trying to purchase an item saying that they were "reserved" when the product was clearly on the shelf, and to add to it, she didnt even search up anything on the computer and showed nothing saying that they were reserved in any way. the employee made no effort what so ever to help me in finding what i needed.
This whole store is an EXPERIENCE! So I get in there and it's like a labyrinth but that's ok because they don't know how many JRPGs I've played. First things first so I'm browsing along looking at these merchants stocks and an NPC approaches, he was lower level so I defeated him with ease but I knew staying in one place would attract higher level encounters so I decided to flee to another section of the store. Ahh yes the keyboards, I'm no white knight but I am a keyboard warrior, AVAST but another NPC has found my location, demanding I fulfill the, '3 year warranty' side quest. haHAA I do not do such meaningless side quests, that is the work of inexperienced naves. After the brief encounter with the Keyboard King I yet again fled to another section. Needing a rest in my adventure I approach the gaming chair section, finally a place to rest, b-but I can't … ***YOU CANNOT SLEEP WHEN THERE ARE ENEMIES NEARBY***, GASP I turn behind me to see the final boss, the only other real player character in the game. The highest most broken stats out of all the in game characters, and their username is: Manager. I put up my best fight and even knowing I was well rested I was no match for their, "Stop sleeping in my store" ability. I tried my best to deflect it with my, "oh the chair was just that comfy" but I fell short after they hit me with their special, "That's $450, it's one of our best models". After that I managed to barely escape without a full party wipe, the only sad part is my main partner sustained a lot of damage, and with wallet's health so low I'm not sure if it can make it.
Pretty much all the pieces that you nees for a gaming computer.
A very nice store that is well laid out. Great selection of components. Was upgrading my dad's pc to a data ssd. The reminded me that I needed a SATA cable. Saved me a 2nd trip back to the store. Prices are very competitive. I would highly recommend shopping here.
I went in with a physically busted gaming headset, and the guys were super helpful and fixed it on the spot for me. All it took was a quick unscrewing and rescrewing with a tiny phillips head. Quite friendly and refreshing, especially since I'd gone into Memory Express across the street first and they were useless and made me feel like a thief by asking me to put my backpack behind the desk when I looked at other headsets for 30 seconds on my way out. Then had to wait to get it back 1 minute later. Long story short, these guys are much more friendly and helpful!
These guys are perfect for my business needs. I buy from a few places in town, but I always seem to stop here. Great service from all the staff on Broadway.
Awesome service, helpful reps
It looks promising! Great addition to Halifax
I arrived at the store with my son's computer, he had purchased some upgrades and installed them himself. However, it wasn't running properly. The staff in the repairs section were amazing! They helped problem solve quickly and sent me home with money still in my pocket to a happy teenager :) Great Experience
The staff have been helpful and the prices always seem to be very competitive, highly recommend for whatever computer parts you might want.
Good Service - Friendly staff. The culture is to give you space. However, in my opinion you can have that culture, but still make eye contact and initiate a greeting without a full court sales press.
A dude managed to get me a rgb gaming chair for the same price as the regular version. 10/10 would ask empolyees for help again
The staff was friendly and they had the products in stock that I wanted. They also have good communication between stores being able to see if your product is available in another store if unavailable where you to. I highly recommend them for your electronic needs. If not this location then another location.
They have good prices and friendly staff but their customer service is lacking, after 9 days of waiting for a rebuild I'm finally told that they *started* working on my PC, after being told it will only take a week (due to black Friday builds) there was even a possibility my PC would be done maybe even as early as the Friday according to a CC rep! I receive no updates on my machine Friday, Saturday my inbox sat empty until I called, they had not started work yet but my PC was next in queue and would be ready that Sunday according to the technician, Sunday comes around and at 2:30 they call (3.5 hours before closing) apparently next queue to them means that its next to get moved around, because 2 "rush" orders came in and delayed my PC AGAIN, after spending upwards of $1500 here in one go and still not having my PC after 9 days of waiting I doubt I will return unless its to do with warranty. If you are paid to do a job, do the job or at least be polite and let the person know you are experiencing major delays, I would have been more than happy to wait had they at any time tried to contact me with some sort of apology or notice. 2/5
Amazing staff and very friendly even till end of day! Very helpful with my computer component purchase. 5 star!
Nice spot, previous NCIX
Easily the worst experience I've ever had with a retailer. Their return policies, customer service, and management are terrible. Bought a GPU from them, had a rattling fan so I brought it back to ask for a return or exchange as per their policy clearly stated on the receipt. Left it with them for a day and they said there was no problem with the GPU and the noise was coming from somewhere else in my PC. Two days later I brought them my whole PC with 2 videos clearly showing the problem was with the GPU, then they caved and said they would go ahead with the return. 2 hours later of waiting, they once again refused to give me my money back because they said they couldn't find a serial number and they seem to think I tampered with the card. Despite telling them that I did not remove any sticker and that the card was exactly as I bought it, along with the fact that the serial number is on the box, receipt, and official registration, they basically told me to take a hike. Most (not all) of the staff I interacted with were condescending and unhelpful. If you buy something from here, just hope you don't have any problems with it because if you do I bet you'll have a similar experience.
Just wanted to say a big thanks to the guys at Ncix Vancouver and more specifically Russell. Just recently built a gaming PC here, even though I changed multiple parts throughout the process the whole experience was incredibly smooth and easy. only $50 for them to fully assemble the product too. I've got a few friends who are going to be building computers in the next while and I will definitely be recommending them here. Thanks!
I am fond of this particular branch. It can be a bit hard to navigate sometimes due to clutter but the staff is very attentive and helpful. The prices are competitive for components and there is actually parking available behind the store most of the time. Be sure to check stock before you go as they sell out of popular items.
Good selection. Knowledgeable, helpful staff.
Summary: Actually 0/5 stars. Spent roughly $1600 at this store and was laughed at when I tried to return something. Will never use this store again. Use Amazon. Staff: On their own would be 2-3 stars, I've had everywhere from awful interactions where they legitimately laugh at me when I try to return something to mediocre. Most of them are nice enough but don't seem to have any product knowledge both in a technical sense and knowing about what is stocked at the store. Even workers at Best Buy have more knowledge. Staff (DURING COVID-19) The front door stays locked and you have to knock on it to be let in, I've had to wait anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes before someone even notices, not even a "The store is full right now, we'll be right with you". All staff seem incredibly annoyed to be there and don't feel like doing their jobs, almost as if you are a burden to them and they just want you to leave. They also always seem reluctant to let you in the store, when I had asked about a certain mouse they didn't have in stock I had to persuade them to let me in to look at other ones. Product: Most of their products are from known brands (Razer, Logitech, etc) No issues with any products so far. Service: Legitimately terrible service, bordering on scam artists. Their return policy is non existent unless the product is defective. You could buy something walk out and come back in 30 seconds to return it and they'd tell you to get lost. Recommendations to The Store: If I were an outside contractor that they had hired to fix issues with the store I'd tell them to strip everything down and start again because their business is awful.
Hands down the best place for everything computer related. Friendly staff, excellent customer service. This is a company that genuinely cares about their customers. Great addition to the Bayers Lake business park. If you need anything for your desktop computer, from a mouse to a monitor, they have it. Warranty is really good even from their website. Price matching and knowledgeable staff. Five stars.
I've never been to a computer parts store before but this shop blew me away, super friendly staff.
Lance and the boys are absolute gods, this is my literal 25 star review of probably the best customer service I've ever gotten! Went wayyyyyy above and beyond to help me, this just turned into the only computer shop I'll ever visit.
Sanji was extremely helpful and throughly answered all of my questions. It’s not often you have such a good experience with a retail employee. Couldn’t recommend him more.
The staff there are friendly and helpful they explain everything and the price is good and they fix things there to
Do not shop here. Horrible staff and refuse to return products that any other electronics store would be happy to return.
Even though there was an irate customer in front of me the web-orders, a staff member checked up on me waiting in line. I had gone in to the store not expecting much, because I had mistakenly ordered the wrong memory for my apple mac mini. Due to moving places, I had put off installation of the memory, so it has been 10 days past the 30 day return policy. Either-way, I explained my predicament and the employee promptly replied that she would make a one time exception given that I just wanted to exchange. This is great service. She went in the back, and I was on my merry way in much shorter time than expected. It is good to see that store staff still have the capabilities to make these exceptions.
Ordered a Seagate Barracuda 2TB hard drive from this location during lock-down. Arrived as defective, and I sent an exchange request for this product. It took a month for them to respond. The deadline for the exchange/refund was two weeks.
Prices are good, and the Best service in town!
Same great store. New location.
awesome deals on android boxes.
Tried to buy in store they said they don’t sell it. Found the had it in stock at the store. Tried to buy it online. Couldn’t do that either. Asked for help. They didn’t respond. Buy somewhere else.
Really happy about the service I experienced with the gentlemen in the Service department. Quick to understand and come up with good solution to a silly GPU problem(MFG related). Once again, thank you.
AVOID. Medical discrimination occurs here. The Cambridge store is bigger, better, cleaner and friendlier.
They never doubt my computer knowledge coming into the store like some places have, and are always fast, efficient, & helpful when I visit!
Fantastic service and pricing. I needed an outdated part for a fan to keep an old pc running and they were able to make it happen. Will be back when I upgrade to a new machine for sure!!!!
Too be honest I haven't bought anything from this location in a very long time and I usually just go in to wander while my wife shops elsewhere in this plaza. However, I am always approached and politely at least 2 twice while I am in the store and they're selection is vast.
Great customer service. Went to fix a heating problem with my laptop and they got it fixed on the spot hassle free.
Very helpful staff and reasonably price computer parts laptops etc. Overall a very good customer service and a smaller shop feel. You normally don't have to wait long to get some customer service if needed. Staff seems very knowledgeable which is extremely helpful when you're really not sure what you should be buying sometimes to solve a problem with a computer or adapters for different links and so on.
This place is great for all the parts you could ever need. Jesse is by far the best employee there, always helpful always polite. Unlike that bearded guy who always look like he's miserable i don't know who he is but he seems lazy he's rude maybe its just me but your in a retail job my pudgy furry friend learn to at least crack a smile. Or take a joke
These guys have gone to the dogs. Everything that shows "in stock" is actually in a wharehouse in Ontario. A small order came in three shipments! One took a week. They give you tracking numbers but no info as to what items are in which delivery. No one answers the phone, waited an hour for a call back last Friday. May as well choose a straight online retailer, at least they will ship faster with better communication. Last time shopping at ncix for this 15+ year customer.
Great store, great staff. John guided me with putting together my first PC build and patiently answered any questions I had. There is a good selection of products and price matching is available - perfect for getting all (or almost all) components in one spot!
First impressions? Courteous... affable... not pushy... straightforward...
Fast and friendly service, while i was dropping off my laptop for repair.
The worst customer service I have ever seen. The tall supervisor in this location is racist at the limit. He gives no respect to color people. Tigerdirect is amazing with great customer service and great people. You are really valorized at Tigerdirect as a customer.
Great place I don't like the set up for RAM and Disks, but I suspect that's for loss prevention and I don't really know how they could do better. Bigger sign things, maybe?
Excellent products for great deals. Always have good deals on cell phones.
Service was mediocre at best. I got passed to 2 other staff members before I got helped. The 2nd staff member who ended helping me was clearly not very keen or seemed to care much for the job I guess. I would have given them 3 stars were it not for the killer price I paid for a pair of hard drives.
Quick on their feet to help and really know their stuff. Will defs be coming back.
when I was picking out my computer they were very helpful, kind and even assisted me with inputting some RAM. however, when I had an issue with my computer, they shipped it off to a different city because they said the maker of my computer had a main store beside their head office. 3 months later, I called to ask about the status of my computer, no answer. 2 months after that and 3 calls later, they returned my computer, more damaged than it previously was (but i signed a waiver so I can't do anything about it) and told me that my laptop could not be fixed because they do not sell that part anymore. not only was I ripped off $50 for someone to keep it for 4 useless months, but, I called the maker of my laptop and they mailed me a new part within weeks, I took my computer somewhere else to have it installed and I have had no issues from there.
I try to buy local, however this place is one of the reasons I shop online. I have been looking for a laptop and the sales rep was no help and resorted to pressure sales techniques. Went to best buy and the sales rep there were very helpful and I found a laptop that was best suited to my needs.
Went in and had already checked their stock for an item. Asked the sellsman if they had the item, without batting an eye or checking he says they are out... I'm like are you sure? He is like yup. I'm like I check the stock levels myself can you check it? So he checks it and what do you know? It's there... Lol anyway good prices, good selection, but do your homework first before going in.
Great service
Purchased a gaming rig on February 27th with a NVidia GTX 1070. Wanted Windows 7 and they told me they no long sell it so I had to purchase Windows 10. Took the system home and spent days trying to get it to display properly on my TV/monitor. I tried three different TV/monitors using different settings and was unable to fix the issue of poor quality screen resolution. Read on the Windows 10 Forums this is a known issue! After 4 days of frustration I brought the system in and they hooked up to a 4k TV/monitor and the resolution wasn't much better. Was told they could put Windows 7 on the machine and for a fee (the week before I was told they didn't sell it anymore). So now I'm stuck with a $2300 door stop that's sitting in the corner of my office. I had to go back to my old Windows 7 machine to actually get a good picture - disappointed!
Great service. Spent extra times answer lots of questions.
Avoid this location. I like Canada Computers overall but this particular location seems to have trouble with hiring the right people. Twice now I’ve had an experience with an employee there where she was condescending and rude from early on in the conversation. Not a good hiring policy for a brick and mortar store, given how easy it is to get the same products and components delivered to your door... Lines to talk to staff can be long (15+ minute wait) depending on when you go and what type of item you’re asking about (pc components have people asking lots of questions)
Good selection of products at very competitive prices. Service is pretty awful, best to go in already knowing what you're after.
Found a great deal here for a new laptop computer on Black Friday. The salesman seemed to know just about everything about the computers they sold at the store but also a strong general knowledge of everything else technology related in the market today. I felt I was set up just right with them.
Very ungrateful sale stuff, arrogant, you can invest thousands of dollars and that won't make any difference, they are just very unappreciative of your business and I'm rating the store located at 1045 Wellington Rd, London. I used to shop there a lot, at the old Wellington location, than I've stopped because of the arrogance. About 6-8 months ago I went back to get a new items for my sons upcoming build and I was wondering why I did stop going there, than shortly after being inside they have refreshed my memory. Some stuff members have changed, some old faces I remember, but nothing has changed, still the same ignorance. If they keep on going this way, they will end up like NCIX and you better believe it. No more Canada Computers for me.
Friendly staff and free parking at the back
Location and selection/variety of products is nice; however the staff is the same rude & unhelpful staff from the previous store... with some members being especially unknowledgeable. The return/exchange policies are terrible. Don’t even think about opening anything... If you want to find out if something is in stock, you’re arrogantly told to check the website stock levels whilst you’re in the store itself... And no, they will not bring in something from another store for you if they don’t have it. Horrible customer service, I’ve never had a half decent experience here. Best bet is to do your research online if you need something, and wait for a sale to pop up. Otherwise I recommend Best Buy. PS: Don’t even get me started about their BS in-store warranty for an additional charge... You’ve been warned. Good luck.
Great service, always friendly. Stock is ok for a non centric location
Friendly staff. Great sales. Depending on time of day/year, wait times can be long.
Is this a scam ? I cancelled my order before they ship and they still haven't refund on to my card yet. It has been seven days after they said they will. Are these reviews on "good service" Fake? Update: They gave me my money back after about two weeks. But who knows if they will do anything if I didn't ask them about it. Online Customer service seem pretty unprofessional.
Amazing customer service! Sean & Mike were extremely helpful, providing friendly service and resolved my issue within just a couple minutes! Even walked away with a free part. Highly recommend!
Meh inventory
Go see Hudson B. Very knowledgeable, straight shooter excellent resource
Customer service is sadly lacking.
Great buying experience with bright employees. In two straight days I was helped by Jaran and given assurances regarding issues with my computer. Great establishment
Though we are going through a global silicon shortage making it difficult to find parts or good prices for said parts canada computers is always stocked (aside from gpus), the workers are very polite and ready to assist you any time. They are also very knowledgeable and can identify issues with easy, this creates a friend environment where customers don't have to scramble and look for someone who knows what they're doing. It is always clean and well kept. Everything is visible and easy to reach on shelves. The store is divided into sections for all parts and anything else you may need.
The service team comprising of Cameron, Barbara and Sadig have been very helpful and understanding throughout the process of getting my computer fixed and upgraded at their store. The manager Kelvin also helped me getting a 30 series card.
Im all about helping my community and local businesses but this place is not what I imagined. I went to buy a laptop as I'm not very tech savvy, and everytime I would walk up to one of the customer service reps they would brush me off and not answer any of my questions. I was unhappy with my experience and ended up buying my laptop online.
Great customer service. I needed to transfer my browsing history from my old laptop to the new one. It was very tricky. At the Best Buy store, where I purchased my new lap top were willing to do it for $100.00. I went to Canada Computers and just asked. They offered help right away. It took good 15 min. for them to figure out how to do it. But they did it, and didn't charged me anything! Big thanks to Richard and Klint. You are awesome! From now on I am loyal to Canada Computers store. Thank you!
Best place in town if your looking for anything to do with CPUs or laptops ????
Excellent staff great experience haven't build a pc in over 10 years. Keegan I believe his name was extremely knowledgeable and helpful no bs kid deserves a raise. Won't shop anywhere else now.
Excellent service - recommend coming in during mid-day to beat the after work rush. It seems like everyone who wants a good deal on electronics knows to come here. Friendly and knowledgeable staff make this leaps and bounds better than Best-Buy, Futureshop, etc.
What’s important to know about this company is this: -They usually don’t have the best price. -They have a very restrictive return policy. -Staff range from helpful to condescending. For me it boils down to this: is it cheaper somewhere else, and do you need it right now? If you answered yes to the first part and no to the second, then buy it somewhere else. Otherwise CC is fine when you’re in a pinch.
Bought a few laptops here and also used their service department to repair a laptop. Great prices and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.
Dude working there helped me fix my pc and put it together. Awesome service and very impressed.
All orders have been place by everyone in line. Everyone has the notifications to come and pick up their items that the store said are ready for pick up. Why making us wait in line for hours???? Why does the staff is not taking care of the persons waiting outside with negative temperatures and snowing??? This is just ridiculous, I’ve been to multiple locations of Canada computers across the GTA the last couple of days and and never seen anything like this! No I don’t blame COVID, I blame the staff and the management!
Helpful and quick, manager has always been quick and efficient to assist.
If I could give them a 0, I would. I have bought two laptops from them over a 3 year span. I purchased the warranty with both, which is not cheap, and they find every excuse not to honor obvious warranty issues. The store blames head office, and head office will not respond. Perfect circle of ignorance. Horrible customer service and lack of respect for paying customers. Will never buy another item at any of their stores. Be prepared to be ignored by them after you make your purchase, because they already have your money. Stay away!!!
Refused to show the variety of product and so disrespectful when I asked to show More
I had a great experience upgrading my laptop today. Lorenzo was courteous to me and helped get my laptop ready for a quick upgrade. He also offered good advice on buying a new desktop and was awesome to all the other customers around him while I was waiting. 5 stars
Massive computer store. Absolutely massive
Lots of products!!
I've been here a few times and have had good experiences but this evening I tried looking to getting a SD card but the person that was working seemed to no have any knowledge and didn't care to find someone to help me. So I didn't bother buying one. Hope this is not a new thing for this store as I would like to come back.
Great staff and experience. Customers are a little bit much sometimes though.
Wanting to build a new computer. WENT to the store on a Tuesday around noon, door was locked, sign saying you need to be let in by an employee. I waited 15 minutes and no one came. I phoned the next day. Wanted to put my name on the waiting list for a 3080 and a 5900X. They wanted me to come back in person and put down a 50% deposit. No word as to when stock would be back. Run away from this place. I wouldn't trust this place to hold $700 in good faith.
Super knowledgeable staff!!! Came with a network switching issue. Got all the hardware I needed on the spot for a great price. And got free network spec information from the very knowledgeable employee.
These guys will never pick up a phone call so if you make multiple backorders you wont know which one arrived
Really helpful staff in the Oshawa and Whitby locations. They will take the time to chat with you about the best solutions. Pricing is exceptionally good.
Terrible customer service from several staff. Employees appear to have no emotions, and cannot look you in the eye. It is clear that the staff need to be trained to be actual salespeople instead of robots. Luckily there was one kind gentleman, who actually helped us. I have never been inclined to leave such a negative review online until now. This is actually one of the worst retail experiences I've ever had. Visit Memory Express instead, or the NCIX in richmond for much better service. I will never be buying from this location again. If the atmosphere does not change, I am sure that this store's reputation will continue to spiral downwards
Always kind, helpful and courteous.
Terrible customer service, stand around talking to each other ignoring everything around them, never answer their phone, try and call them, you'll see
Informative staff, talk to Hudson if you want to learn about what to buy and why.
Always everything you need in stock with the best prices.
Reliable for parts. Good prices.
Great service, in and out quickly. Great prices too
Waiting for pickup line for over an hour during winter due to covid19. Why is there a big line for "pick-up"? incompetent staff? short on staff? why is this failure passed to us customers? if one person is holding up the line, maybe let the others through instead of making them wait to death for soemthing they already paid for
Really good inventory for Jack's, wires, connection device's. Great knowledgeable staff to help save you money and time.
I've purchased several things from this store in the past, mostly when I built a new custom PC about 4 years ago. Brought said PC in about a week ago to diagnose an issue I couldn't seem to figure out. Didn't act out for them which sucked but the technician (Will) did notify me of an issue with my power supply which upon further investigation may have been my problem all along. Spoke with me on the phone for over 15 minutes to get more details on my issue to better diagnose it. Also spoke with me in store for longer and answered all my questions. Credit to Erin who took my original phone calls and questions and who checked me in when I dropped my PC off. Great customer service from them both, professional and courteous. It's worth mentioning that a few of the kids that work there have the customer service skills of a wall mounted buck head; but the folks that are there because they like to work with computers and people are alright. 5/5 stars for Will's help and Erin's customer service.
Customer services are terrible. Warranty and return policies are so unfair. Dont use canada as the name and treated people like shiet. Canadians don't do that! Try Ncix or best buy from now on. All Good comments above for this store are bogus! Stay away or you will learn a hard lesson! Taylor is an obnoxious kid.. he hang up while u talk to him about an order. And claimed that customer swore at him. MCKENZIE IS THE manager and very bad one too. Seem like they know it all but customer relation.. Wait and see when the company goes bankruptcy.. they will be out of a job because no customer service skills.. Wont be long! Your company bad reputations are spreading fast. Google it and see for yourself before you shop here.
Poor service, and deceptive warranty practices. Was out $1000 and lost a bunch of time when connector for a liquid cooling unit broke in less 6 months and destroyed the motherboard and other components of my $3500 custom-built computer. This unit was assembled by Canada Computers. Was hung out to dry when I lugged the computer back to the store, they wouldn't cover the damage even though it was likely an assembly error which caused the tube to rupture prematurely. I was told that I had to take it up with the manufacturer of the cooling unit, and was worn down by their warranty process, eventually giving up and just buying another motherboard, cooling unit and other replacement components. Our research group has since switched to buying all of our computers from a different source after this incident. Would recommend avoiding this store or reading the warranty very carefully...
This place is highly recommended by those who know but they still don't have everything.
Where I bring my comouters for repairs. I like their service.
Service tech rep, Lance, is a down to earth fellow & most importantly, honest. He's extremely knowledgeable in hardware, Win, Linux & other skills. I have yet to seek the assistance of their other technical professional, Leo, who has assumed the responsibilities of their previous service tech named, Shae (spelling?). Shae, was also a wonderfully helpful person. So far, their tech savvy crew have been a fantastic bunch. To me, after sales service is the pinnacle to any retailers' success when many shoppers are engaging more into on-line purchases nowadays. I still do enjoy a walk-in store front whereby I can interact with sales reps for their know hows to make an informed decision. Their in store staff are always friendly to deal with. Although I have bought tonnes of products from them, I have never had to return an open item back even thought that I know of their 15% restocking fee. But as I had just found out today, they've done away with restocking fees!!! I nearly fell off of my chair when Ricky told me of it over the phone. Keep up the good work you guys & gals!
Excellent selection of pre-built systems and computer components. Better yet...they're Canadian.
Stopped by here last week to buy a few things (time was around 7:00pm) the website & Google said they were open until 8:00pm. Store was closed. Very disappointed that a large chain such as Canada Computers would be so unprofessional. Needless to say they will not be getting my business as I will be shopping at smaller stores.
Great selection, but so unfriendly and unhelpful, which is unfortunate for a tech store where many customers do rely on advice from the staff to navigate.i 100% appreciate the safety measures they put in place to protect clients and staff, but as you are not allowed to browse, compare and investigate you better know exactly what you want. They really do not like you having questions or not having your purchase picked out ahead if time. At that point ordering from Newegg is the better option plus you do not get all that condescension that way.
I paid 120 dollars for a fan replacement and the fan stopped working within a month... It was also ramping up and down all the time for no reason. They tell me this is my computer but it's never done this before... I had fully reset the computer and have no trust in their repair process.
Horrible customer service, horrible return policy, they'll say one thing on their website and when you go to the store it's a completely different policy. Bought my monitor off them which turned out to be defective and will be the last purchase I ever make from CC. Just a terrible experience, do not waste any of your time or money with this company.
It's a Canada Computer Store what can I say. Nice selection of everything computer or electronic related. Good prices, staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Bought a custom built PC with a 1080 ti and it was a great experience. Staff is very knowledgeable about their products and they did not try to up sell me. Multiple employees served us and treated us well. They opened the motherboard to do a pin check to make sure the pins were not bent during transport which I thought was really good. They assembled it (took about 2 business days) and everything was in tip top shape and worked perfectly right when I booted up for the first time. Their stock was good as well. Found everything I was looking for (extra stuff like a mouse and mouse pad, surge protector). Only reason it is 4 stars as opposed to 5 is because the first guy we dealt with told us to wait here while he fetched the parts, and we were waiting around for a good 15 minutes only to learn that he was on his lunch break and put the parts at the front so we could pay for it. Not a big deal really, but the guy could've told us.
I had a terrible experience with your service technician. I came to CC after being instructed to do so from a Best Buy technician; I wanted to buy additional RAM for my computer. After BB looked it over they told me to purchase RAM from CC and come back to them to install it free of charge, but after purchasing RAM from CC I figured I'd ask and see if they would be able to put it in since I was already there. The technician (TJ) said it's generally a 30 dollar charge, but he would be able to do it this time. He then installed the RAM and told me it would be 30 dollars - which was the first confusion. He had originally agreed to waive the cost since I had explained that otherwise, I would have gone back to BB to do it for no cost. After some back and forth I said it's fine, I will pay it. He then turns on my computer, and it crashes. He turns to me and says "what did you do?" and proceeds to tell me that I must have brought in a malfunctioning computer to begin with. I explain again that the computer was working fine at BB fifteen minutes ago, and up until the RAM was installed. I asked to speak with a manager. He explains to the manager that I apparently told him the computer was malfunctioning (I did not, because it was not) and I then suggest removing the RAM to see if that was issue. Sure enough, with the RAM removed and the original back in place, the computer was working fine. Needless to say, I did not purchase anything from CC and received a return for the RAM. What I didn't get was anything else. Not an apology for accusing me of lying about the state of my own computer, or an apology for selling me a defective product, or any type of offer to make up for the completely disrespectful behaviour (the technician served every customer behind me before troubleshooting my problem despite how long I had been there) or lying to his own manager about how our conversation had proceeded. When I asked the manager (John) about the protocol around how employees check a computer prior to an install, he confirmed that employees are to screen computers to ensure they work before making any changes. So how the technician and the manager seemed to believe my computer was broken, to then find out it was a faulty RAM and to respond to me saying "so it was the RAM?" with "I guess so" ... really? I shouldn't be the one telling your technician how to troubleshoot a problem that he caused! This is a computer I use every day for work, and in light of the current situation with our economy I depend on this computer for my job. What if permanent damage was done to my computer? On my initial bill it states that the power-on test was done - but somehow both employees managed to blame me before testing the newly installed product? To add insult to injury, the manager told me that he's been having issues with this technician and he will talk to him about it. So you have existing issues with someone, but still believed them over what my bill said, and still didn't offer an apology or any type of retribution in the event that my computer has any type of damage from this transaction. I was so upset when I left this location, that I went online and spent way more than I needed to on RAM just so that I wouldn't have to deal with another technician from CC. I can't believe this even happened to me; and at this point the only mistake that I made was entering the doors at this location.
Product is pretty much the same as in the Mississauga location. I like thier prices and variety. Very competitive. Besides, here they had a great service! I ran into 4 different staff and they were all fantastic. Attentive, knowledgeable, pleasant. Great experience.
Incredible store if you are interested in quality computers. The staff are amazing at what they do, very knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone on staff is willing to help, and in the rare occasion that they do not have an answer for you, they will happily find someone who can help you better.
Grateful for Travis’ help: as I walk into the store I notice three staff members waiting to help — that’s a good start. So I ask my question, and I get three different answers. No, maybe, and a yes. You’ve probably guessed it, Travis was the guy who gave me the yes. In sales, the customer ONLY ever wants to hear yes. The customer has money and a need for a solution and that’s what they want to hear, so what if it’s expensive or will test my patience to wait for it to come in. Thats for me to decide if it is outside my comfort zone or patience level. Travis took his time to make sure he got me the right piece of equipment and used his resources to maximize my benefit (asked his colleagues if there might be something better and/or cheaper, searched the computer system thoroughly, and made sure I knew what I was getting into). This is customer service. Thank you, Travis.
No exchanges although the updated and current website says curbside exchanges. Trash company.
Good prices and the staff is very helpful.
Friendly staff. Wide variety of selection available. Not very accessible if you don't have a car though. Quite a struggle to haul it back to white oaks to catch the 90.
Needed a laptop for work they have tons to choose from and they know everything
The prices here are fine, the selection is okay, but the service is very poor. I was in there this week and asked to make an exchange and the guy behind the service counter audibly sighed in my face as if I was putting him out. Another time I spent $600 on a purchase and the person on cash didn't ask if I had a rewards membership, so I ended up missing out on hundreds of dollars worth of points. Now that I think about it, I've never been asked if I'm a rewards member at this location. What's the point of a rewards program if I can't earn rewards? There are a few helpful people here but most of them don't seem to care. You're better off trying your luck somewhere else.
Purchased a cpu cooler and thermal paste. Salesman wasn't knowledgeable enough to let me know the cooler had pre applied paste. Went back to return unopened paste and was told it was final sale.
I had the pleasure of dealing with Eric for a return, extremely pleasant and cheerful guy! Keep up the fantastic customer service Eric!
Well stocked store, very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Fairly priced goods, with a wide selection. If something isn't in stock they'll have it shipped in. If you have any questions you'll get a good answer. The place isn't busy by accident;. It's a good place for computer equipment.
Awesome service, amazing prices. Helped me build a computer that boots into desk top within like 15-20 seconds ???? forget the guys name but he’s awesome for the black on black set up
Great service. Staff know thier products. Peter, the repair tech is great.
If you're a tech loving computer geek, this is Candy Land. For those that are less tech inclined, it may be a little intimidating at first. Once you talk to any of their staff you'll be just fine. Steven was technical but good at breaking things down into simple terms. My latest experience was building a new PC for photography and they did a great job adding what I needed and leaving out what I didn't. Great experience overall!
Clean well lit store, the gentleman staff called the female staff three times to serve me,if he saw me first why wouldn't he offer some help or at least say hi. ...
Best place ever. Great help. Amazing customer service. My main store for computers hdd. Thank you.
doesn't matter what time of day or what day of the week you call they WILL NOT answer their phone but don't expect to drive 20 minutes to go to the store to get the information you require as the staff is not interested in anything other than acting as a simple transaction counter. Very smug and condescending attitudes, as if these dweebs had formed the silicon themselves. Store hours change on a whim- was 10-7 Monday to Friday, but suddenly after the weekend they changed all store hours to Wednesday to Friday.. Now it's back to Mon-Fri. Can I trust it? Probably not. Is it inconsistent and unreliable? Hell yeah.
Helpful staff! They suggested changes to my parts to ensure I was getting the best performance possible. Thank you.
Previously had good experiences. Took desktop in for diagnostic on April 30th. Took a month and repeated attempts of contact to be told to come pick it up.
Researched the components need for a new computer. Compared prices with a few online places, remembered Canada computers and looked them up. Alot of prices were comparable or better than the main online sites,(newegg). Real nice if you need components in a hurry or dont want to wait or pay for shipping. Will definitely do more business there.
Really bad return policy. I bought something based on their recommendation. It doesn't work. They only do exchanges, NO REFUNDS. Super outdated and lame policy compared to all of their competitors. Wouldn't have been a problem to return anywhere else. Don't bother buying from here unless you wanna get stuck with things that dont work.
I had such a great experience helping my son build his computer thanks to RJ and Tristan H. Any time we had an issue getting issues with the build solved; Tistan and RJ were always willing to go above and beyond to help. Those two are the best!
Had to return a broken laptop. The girl at the returns counter was very nice and helpful. Also enjoyed the purchase experience in December. Alexandru was excellent, quick, helpful. A special shout out to him for being so careful and gentle handling the laptop while showing it to us.
First time l have ever been in this store, was surprised at how big it is.. Took my laptop in, fixed in no time and very good price...will go back again.
Always a pleasure to deal with this location! Highly recommend.
I don't see them being in business after COVID. Customer service was horrible....never again Canada Computers
These guys are great. I'm happy they took over the space from NCIX. It wasn't even 60 seconds before someone politely approached me. He opened boxes so that I could see monitors that weren't on display. Great place. I will be back!
I can’t believe how amazing the staff is here, especially the customer service staff - fixing my laptop in a day with their warranty - amazing service
My go to shop for anything computer related. Awesome selection and great prices.
Connor and Yaseen were AWESOME. They were really great in helping me troubleshoot my computer problems, and seemed to genuinely care. They were open and honest about the problem, and in the end bent over backwards to keep me happy. I will DEFINITELY be coming back to the Broadway location for my future needs.
Horrible return service! I would not recommend to buy from here. Rather go to memory express next door who even does price comparison
You would think that on opening weekend they would go all out to establish a reputation for good service and competitive prices. They quickly erased that possibility with me when they refused to price match (for a cheap mouse of all things) with Best Buy, so I went to Best Buy.
This store is Great, I have been buying PC components and accessories since it was a much smaller store located next to a sears outlet, last week I bought all the Components and Accessories to build a solid functional PC for my wife who now teaches from home, as an upgrade from the ancient chrome book she was provided. The rep helped me through all the parts and even suggested better replacement @ same or cheaper price, or specials i hadnt noticed when looking online. Had my whole order ready for pick in a few hours. 11/10 would recommend again.
Purchased a new laptop from here. The staff explained to me I could return in 1 week to get an additional $50 due to a sale. They were very helpful in finding a laptop with the right specs however there was 1 Asian staff member who felt the need to laugh at every question asked in a rather demeaning way... returned a week later to exchange the laptop for a new one due to a battery defect & they were very helpful. However beware of the 10% restocking fee even if you exchange for the same laptop! & they do not consider software issues as a defect. Overall, would recommend this store.
Called ahead to ensure product was available. It was. Inventory is all on a peg board not designed for the vertically challenged (very high up). I managed to grab a longish box of one sort or another and wrastle it off its peg. (Limited staff are hard pressed to tend to each customer. They might want to consider "accessibility issues". If I can see it and its not under lock and key I'd like to be able to reach it). I'm not quite 5'5, by no means the shortest stick on the street.
Great prices on electronic computer parts + accessories and efficient service thanks
Kristian was really helpful. Had a great experience, I dont know much about computers but he gave me a lot of recommendations!
Pros: They were friendly and efficient; I pretty much knew it was the motherboard before paying for the diagnostic. They ran several tests in front of me before payment. Cons: They charge approximately $300 before tax (parts+labour) to replace a motherboard on a 2 year old laptop, but that may be completely fair. It says in big black letters on all sides of the laptop box (manufacterer's shipping box for the laptop) "DO NOT STACK SIDEWAYS". I wonder why it was stacked sideways when I picked it up?
I attempted to exchange a 2 day old defective monitor (1 of 3 that I had purchased) because of light bleed issues. The rude employee at the service center had trouble diagnosing the issue under the bright store lights for 10 minutes and decided I was making it up. I didn't bother mentioning that I'm an expert in this field with 18 years experience but the qualifications of the employees here are deeply concerning. I even had to stop the guy before he attempted to clean the brand new display with Windex, which he later mentioned to his coworkers so they could laugh about how I don't know what I'm talking about. The monitor was ultimately exchanged and the employee made a point of telling me that it was going back on the floor to be sold to someone else (I'm sorry, whoever you are). They gave me a monitor that they had opened and, "verified," was working before sending me home with a monitor and no display cables (HDMI and Displayport) in the box. I guess I'll have to make another trip back to the store, for the last time...
Good experience and advice
Great selection and fair prices. Staff was very knowledgeable.
I always find whatever I'm looking for there great place , great staff
Travis was a very knowledgeable person. Took the time to explain and show me many options before my final decision. I appreciate his experience and made me feel comfortable, and did not rush me. I give him a 10 if i could. Great job.
By some sorcery this place manages to maintain lower prices compared to Newegg or Amazon or any other electronics store. So if you are building a computer then definitely come here. Staff are very knowledgeable and if they happen to not know something then they are very eager to learn. I was genuinely surprised to see such a curious spirit in the workers, I don't think you will find such eager, friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic employees anywhere else. The whole place is beautifully organized and most things are very easy to find. The only downsides really is just the fact that this is a brick and mortar store you might not have as wide a variety of items. And also check the return policy on graphics cards. It's not the best. Recommendation to the owners: keep up the good work. Your employees are top notch!
got my bios updated here for 50 bucks no line up. great staff and great selection. the back of the store seems bare but only because it is such a large location
I purchased headphones from here June 11 2020, Logitech gaming headphones. I got a warranty for it, for 3 years. The sound comes and goes, it started about 6 months after i purchased it. I came back with my headphones and receipt and the technician said nothing was wrong with them so i left. Im back here again today and i got the same technician and he told me the same thing and to leave them here for further observation. I told him he helped me last time and told me the same thing that he tested it and sees no issues. How can you test something in 5 minutes? I paid for a 3 year warranty, its my 2nd time here, why cant i get a new one? Why the back and forth? I paid for a service i think i deserve better customer service. On top of that he was very dry and obviously not helpful. The warranty is useless. DONT BUY IT
Quick service lots of helpful staff. Buying there for years. Parking is good too.
I had a problem with my iPhone and I went to Canada Computers to help me sort it out. The gentleman there was very knowledgeable and was courteous and patience with my many questions. I would highly recommend Canada Computers without worry.
Canada computers always my choice but employees at this location doesn't like people who knows about computers and parts. Great selection. If you need help with something they are not going to help you and if they do they will tell you basic stuff reading of the box,(I can do that by myself). I'm living in kitchener and I'll rather go to Hamilton location than here. I get better service at dollar store than here.
Bought something from them and then found the same item on sale at Newegg for $20 cheaper a few days later. Brought the receipt in but was told they don't match prices with "online stores" however the policy on their website says they do. They also do not offer price match after the purchase had been made. Don't waste your money here. They rather turn customers away for nothing than making people happy. I've since found Memory Express opened a location just at the plaza immediate East of Canada Computers, just a few steps away. They have better prices and much better price match/protection policies. Not only do they match online and in-store competitor's prices up to 15 days after purchase they also beat it by another 10%. Will be shopping at Memory Express from now on, learned a lesson for $20.
Helpful staff
One of the best computer/electronics places around. If you watch for the specials, some really good deals to be had.
Have been there several times and have only experienced great professionalism and kindness.
The guys here are all so friendly and helpful - and not at all like many tech places who like to condescend to those of us who are technologically challenged. The person who really stood out though was Connor. He exemplifies impeccable customer service and is a solid human being. I bought an enclosure for my dead MacBook's hard drive so I could get all the data off it, and when I asked how to do it he not only patiently explained, but offered to do it for me. Above and beyond! Based on my experience, I highly recommend this NCIX.
They are gauging the price of Nvidia video cards and are selling them only if you buy the whole computer. The excuse is because of scalpers, but what they are doing is exactly the same, and worse because the price is inflated and they are available only in bundles.
I will say i was always happy with the customer service with the staff however on my visit last week one female which i think may be the manager was very rude and not helpful at all, i realize we are facing difficult times but the rest of us are as well, i have been shopping there for years spending alot of money, i will be taking my business elsewhere where people actually value my business.
This store charges a 15% re-stocking fee for simply opening a keyboard, inspecting it, and exchanging it for something else in under 15 days. Their selection is mediocre, their staff is usually unavailable. I see no upside to this place. I suggest finding another store or shopping online.
Great selection and prices. Call ahead to make sure the item you want is actually in store.
Refused to price match some ram for a $30 difference from an online competitor and was given snarky attitude in the process. I could honestly care less about $30 when I had $1300 of hardware sitting on their counter, this level of respect is downright insulting. I walked out and am now in the process of ordering everything from Newegg. I drove an hour out of my way to buy my hardware here, online retailers will be getting my money and any future purchases. I have purchased several items from their old location and recommended them to many friends/co-workers ... never again.
Great customer service ????
Bought a computer for my daughter. Less than a week later it was defective and I took it back to the store. The exchange was not a problem and took less than ten minutes. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely return for my computer needs.
Helpful staff, good products, reasonable prices
This is the worst place I ever been. We went this store during virus time, one employee keeps asking us to keep away from him. They got POS machine on the table outside and we saw other customers show the pic to him what he wanted then purchased, when we tried to buy, he said we could only buy staff online and pick up. Then keep asking us go away, we all wear masks and got 2 meters away from him. He asked us to go parking and don’t stand in front of store. I don’t understand why he got discrimination on us heavily. All the employees wear masks except him, other employees’s attitude are nice and helpful. We don’t know his name, but we will never come back and tell my friends Canada Computer have discrimination on people.
Great place for computer stuff. Friendly staff that very approachable. They help you out the best they can or ask someone else if they don't know. Bought computer and few other stuff there.
Best Buy has a monopoly on computers and electronics market in London. Thanks to Canada Computers people like me who cannot afford to dish out thousands on mediocre computers, can shop there. Never have been disappointed with their product and service.
Store was super organized and clean when i walked in. Was looking for a mechanical keyboard for my girlfriend. I think his name was Brendan, he was the one that helped me choose the perfect keyboard. He was very knowledgeable and kind, and he had a funny sense of humour that made me feel comfortable. 10/10 would come back to ask him about more products. Dont know much about the other staff but i bet they're great too.
I've been to this location one time and will never go back. Went in asking for advice on a new computer and was treated like an idiot. Awful customer service.
Just tried to return an item I purchased before the lockdown in Ontario and was told they would not accept it because it had been too long, even though the store was actually closed. Somehow I was supposed to have "curb-side pickuped" my return. I think that is a shaddy practice and is taking advantage of people during the pandemic. I will not purchase from Canada Computers again,
So I was in yesterday evening to get some help with my laptop and Tommy was super helpful and provided great customer service. He solved my problem in a matter of minutes! He's absolutely amazing and I will be coming back to this place. Thanks Tommy you rate 10 stars but it only allows you up to 5!!!!!
Good weekly Special.
I am thrilled a Canada Computers opened up in Oakville, there is a great selection of products and friendly staff. I was assisted by Jacob and Shawn when planning out my system build. They made the entire process seamless and are truly experts in their field. I highly recommend you visit their new location for all your computer needs.
I am not good with computers at all and was interested in building a gaming pc. I walked in with the little bit of knowledge I have and asked for a few pointers from the staff. One staff member named Enzo came to my assistance and I had advised them of my situation and what I wanted to do. He immediately knew what to help me with and proceeded to go through each part I needed individually and was very mindful of my budget and gave me different options and outlined every single pro and con to each pc part. Even when the pc was put together and I was running in to minor issues, he was even willing to help me after the pc was built and walk me through the process. I was eventually able to get my pc running to 100% and couldn't be happier. Enzo displayed outstanding customer service and exceeded all expectations. He was kind, professional and was incredibly knowledgeable. Building pcs are very much intimidating if you are just getting started, he made the process a walk in the park. I have a friend that is currently interested in building a gaming pc right now and I have recommended him to Canada Computers and had advised him to get assistance from Enzo if possible because of his outstanding performance. In conclusion, 10/10 experience at Canada computers, go here for any tech or computer inquiries, you will be taken care of.
Great store, I used to come to visit just to ponder around and see some parts for my pc in person and it helped a lot, their display computers really helped me make my final decision and the employees were super kind and helpful 10/10 recommend
Not impressed. Came in at least 3 times, not once did anyone approach me to see if I needed help. No one acknowledged me when they walked by. They were standing around talking amung themselves.
PLEASE SHOP HERE! Everything about my experience with Canadian Computer in London was perfect. They are very customer centric, from our phone call ahead to make sure they had the parts (TAYLOR), to helping pick out the right components (TAYLOR), to the technician (KLINT) who was amazingly quick and very knowledgeable. Great experience. PLEASE SHOP HERE - we need to ensure this company stays here in London!
Too expensive
Best place to buy computer parts and accessories
Knowledgeable
Very disappointed in their customer service. On black friday, I told the associate I ordered half the parts for my pc on their official website and I was here for the parts I couldnt get online and he kept insisting that thatwas a mistake. He claimed that I wouldnt get them for months and I should cancel the order and buy through the store. 3 days later it was apparently he was lying since the parts came in assumably for some kind of commission.
Had a great experience at NCIX Vancouver today. Yaseen Ismail patiently did some magic with my computer and got my internet working. I thought the problem was with my Internet Service Provider and was having to wait several days for a service call. Was happy to cancel the call!
Overall really good place and good prices. Customer service can be a bit iffy. For example I wanted to upgrade something I bought a day before which was unopened and the one I was upgrading to was quite a bit more money. The guy dealing with me went through the actions of charging me 15% restocking but I quickly talked him out of it. I like the price match feature. Their prices are generally excellent but their PM does allow you to enjoy further discounts. They get the business and everyone's happy. Loads of stores in BC also makes this my number one choice for computer components and electronics. I had to phone to get an RMA for a defective hard drive and waited a long time on the phone. Best to go in to a store, where they're very helpful and efficient. I concur with Thomas on OCZ products. They declined a few mail in rebates even though I followed the application instructions impeccibly. The OCZ person accused me of being the competition when I raised this on NCIX forum, although NCIX was pretty good about it and offered to help. I would never buy OCZ stuff again, but will happily deal with NCIX
Good service!
They don’t seem to like helping people new to building gaming pc’s. I literally have to get mad and tell them that nobody in the store is willing to help me before they’ll actually help answer some questions. If I walk into a specialty store I expect the employees to have some knowledge on the product they’re selling
This was my first time there. Staff are friendly and helpful. I was getting an HP printer cartridge which costs between $45-$56. I was surprised, they had a generic brand called ican. It's the exact same as the HP brand, cost $20. My new go to store for computer stuff.
Just what yiu would expect from people focused on computers, not people.
Employee name chad, refuse to sell me a RTX gpu even thou my information was correct and I have received pick up notice from Canada computer. Management should look at employees from this location because they are reselling the gpu under the table to thier friends.
I can't say enough great things about Canada Computers. The employees are SO helpful, as I normally look like a damsel in distress in these places. They won't oversell you on what you don't need, an really take the time to explain their products.
Store front pickup was quick and easy. Would recommend !
Always a 5 for service and knowledge, and now a 5 for Covid precaution for their team members and customers. I guess that's a 10 star rating.
The guys are smooth to work with. Knowledgeable and happy to give a hand ????????
Brought my computer here for a simple repair and they did it for me on the spot. They were quick, and very conversational. Helpful finding a couple extra parts for my build
I have never seen a worse service in Canada ever. Those guy destroyed my day. Never come here!
The staff at the Oshawa location are very knowledgeable and amazing staff, every time I go in they always ask if I need help or to help me find what I'm looking for faster. Recently there was an issue that I reported to corporate, they were trying to force me to buy warranty for the 3070 and it's the only way they would sell it to me. I made a complaint to corporate about this issue where I promptly received a call from Mike at Oshawa to remedy the situation. He explained what happened and that what the employee said was not right and not what was happening at all. After chatting with him, it was a miscommunication as he told them to upsell warranty, not sell the GPU with only warranty. I am very happy with the outcome and the answers I received. I highly recommend this store as they care a lot about keeping their customers happy.
Bronson was super helpful! Got everything I needed and provided me with options/recommendations. Thanks Bronson!
I don’t know where to start. Customer service is non-existent. My friend purchased a $1,400 monitor with a $300 warranty, the monitor didn’t come with mounting screws to secure it to the stand. After bringing it up to the store managers attention he suggested he goes to Home Depot to pickup screws lol. With the lack of service received my friend decided to return the monitor. We were in the store for a solid 40 min after they took the monitor waiting for the return. Honestly this left a sour taste in my mouth and I will never purchase anything from this store. Best Buy set a bar too high for this company to follow. Wish them all the best but until they learn more about customer service they will not succeed.
The staffs are very friendly and gave me some helpful tips. Choices are quite good for gaming chairs, big computer screens and boxes of all types. I had an awesome experience with one of their staff there. He tried to get me the best deals and never made me pressured for time. Thank you so much for my experience here. I would surely recommend this place. I brought my dad here just last month and he said great service. Every time I need something, I would directly come to this place. Thank you again and God bless.
Waiting for my RAM to come from Richmond to Coquitlam. Already passed 2 business days. No driver today apparently If I knew I would have ordered somewhere else. Otherwise good skilled salesperson.
Went to get a gaming mouse but couldn't find someone to open the case for me, eventually gave up and left. Lots of employees but there were about six of them behind the counter serving two customers, nobody on the floor. This was on a Saturday so might be better on weekdays. Price and selection are okay, but if you know what you want order online and pick up in store. Edit: Tried again on a weekday when store was almost empty but was even more frustrating trying to get someone to help me get something out of the case. Waited in line for 10 minutes and when I got to the front they started doing work on the computer (processing an order from the phone?) and didn't acknowledge me. Several people behind counter doing what they could to not help. Changed to 1 star.
beautiful store and good price
Great store! Great prices on items you can only find here! Large and Clean store with friendly staff. Lots of products to choose from. I feel like a kid in a candy store every time I visit. Located in the mall so you can get all your other shopping done at the same time.
Placed my order online and received a pickup notice fairly quickly, which was nice, but my pickup experience was not. Absolutely terrible wait times. Most recently a ine of 15+ people and five orders processed within 40 minutes (8mins per order). They cut the line at 3:40 (close at 5) because they wouldn't be able to handle more orders that day. This is a frequent pattern, and I have experienced long wait times at this location multiple times. Don't come expecting swift or easy service. I'm unable to comment on the quality of product as I did not receive mine.
Went today place was empty - for lease sign on the window. No further information on a new location etc etc and the website has wrong and misleading information on their location
Staff are nice and helpfull.
Doing great with their covid protocols. staff was kind and efficient
Swing by today to grip a SSD for my laptop. Ricky who was a staff at Canada Computers help me picked out the SSD. Taught me how to install it. If you swing by the place holla at Ricky. All the staff are good 2 go.
Place is great, bought my first pc here and they were very helpful and informative!
Great computer store. I usually look online for the same part at a cheaper price but seem to find Canada Computers has a very good price too. And it's in my hands once I buy instead of 4 or more days for shipping. They also do shipping to store for free and their inventory amounts are listed with each item at each of their stores. Always call when stock is 1 to 3 of what you're looking for.
Had a wonderful experience. Went in with questions on how to do a dual monitor setup with a laptop, and for a recommendation on an inexpensive but decent quality monitor. The staff was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable . I was in and out with my brand new monitor in less than 10 mins. They even offered to carry my monitor to the car for me. Another thing to mention... they are also doing a GREAT job following covid protocol...I felt very safe during my shopping experience.
Good selection for the most part, but horrible warranty. But the worst is their staff. Not interested in helping, expression is they'd rather not be there...I go with one other customer being helped by staff member, however, blonde girl and tech guy, not interested....I wait up the front counter ready to buy something...make eye contact, but nothing...finally, after other customer come in, I get fed up and call her over, she says, oh, we're busy...you weren't before....poor poor service....I will buy from Amazon....Worst warranty.....worst service....
Great. They knew their stuff and got everything I need fast.
Employees have always been friendly and knowledgeable. They are not afraid to give their personal opinions about certain brands despite making a cheaper sale. Whatever, beats me coming back to exchange a product or asking for a price match.
I called because I was interested in purchasing a headset. It wasn't clear from their website what ones they had in store and how their delivery options worked. After stating that I was interested in a headset, I got the response "Well, I can't go through our entire inventory with you, you should just look online" in an insanely sassy tone. It would have been nice if instead they tried to narrow it down. A proper response would be "That's great, we have a really good selection. What is your budget?" Then try to narrow down to the ideal headset from there.
Service is slow here with staff joking around a lot while customers are waiting. The staff had sold me a video card they received in a shipment which I saw later on that the sealing circle at the flap was tampered with and was no longer a new product. When I came back the next day to return the item and raise the issue, they assured me the product was brand new, and that I had opened it and used and would not be in a resaleable state. Will be taking my business elsewhere.
Great staff good prices very helpful
My husband goes here and so I got his review. He is a IT business owner and often gets parts from Canada Computers. Its convenient that they bring the parts to you. You tell them what you want, they find it and bring it to you which takes a lot of annoyance out of shopping. The staff is pretty knowledgeable, prices are pretty good and they have a large selection. I get computer parts from them and I have yet to have a bad experience.
The kind of company that is good during your initial experience but have zero accountability or customer service skills besides making that initial sale. I attempted to exchange a defective monitor they sold me as their website said if you brought it in they would send it back to the manufacturer for replacement. The employee said that this was no longer the case because of COVID, despite their website saying this service was in the context of additional COVID support they were supplying. When I pressed him a bit on this he just stared at me with a dumbfoundead expression and offered not attempt to help in any way. In the era of companies who realize the benefit of having friendly customer support and a reasonable return policy - avoid Canada Computers like the plague.
Pretty good service. I knew what I wanted already, so I was able to get in and out without much troubles. The checkout line is always empty though, which kinda scares me since there's not many places where I can walkin and purchase computer components instead of buying online Was there recently, I watched 3 managers ordering 1 employee around...I asked another employee if this as the norm...it is... My suggestion to the managers there, if the 3 of you have time to tell one person what to do, you can do it yourself. Lowering my rating because of that, the staff there are great, and I made sure they knew that before I left
Staff is amazing! Very knowledgeable and helpful.
Just bought new parts for my gaming PC and the service was great lots of help.
Greeted at the door by Gary, one of the staff at the Burnaby store on Kingsway. He answered all of my questions. Tested an adapter for my notebook before I bought it to make sure it was the right one. Had helpful suggestions when I was choosing other items. I'm not very computer literate, so I really appreciated not being left to wander the store trying to find what I needed. Store is clean and bright, and well stocked. Very good experience, and I will be recommending them to friends, family, and co-workers.
My first experience with the London location started waiting in line for the 3070, unfortunately I wasn't able to get it the day of release but they put me on the preorder list and I was able to get my 3070 the next day! I went in the next day and dealt with Christopher who was of great help. Keep in mind this was my first PC build so I had a million questions. He was patient with me and answered all my questions my satisfaction, he let me know that the RAM I had purchased for my PC wouldn't be compatible which saved me a lot of time! He was very knowledgeable about the parts and was helping me out for more than an hour if I remember correctly. Thanks for all your help to Christopher and the rest of the CC London team!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Service for corporate/dealer accounts is even better! Please keep it up!
The staff are excellent. I bought my nww laptop thru Mike and Kaitlyn. They indicated some sales that were on, they answered all my questions, were professional, thorough and made the experience comfortable. I have dealt with the staff at the Townline and King Plaza location before for my old laptop and always been helpful and knowledgeable. If they are in any doubt, they double check with fellow staff. They have everything you need regarding computers and electronics. ???????????????? 10 out of 10.
Great service and very friendly staff. Definitely the best Canada Computers of the bunch. Keep up the great work. ????
Good service and friendly helpful staff.
Im absolutely amazed at their customer service. Theyre very knowledgeable and easy to approach. Most importantly they seem to really enjoy helping you. Sean personally took the time to help me out and fininsh my desktop build while they were busy. He then went above and beyond that and also installed all my drivers and windows so it would be ready to go. I dont think i could be happier with the experience i was given at this location. The other locations around the area cant compare, not even close.
Did not enjoy my time there and regret going to CC London to purchase my computer. So I understand during COVID people are grumpy and so many new rules are applying but this is my story. I called the store to pick out a decent gaming computer, the representative was actually helpful on the phone, told me to write down the item numbers and bring it to the store and they'd get it all ready for me. This is where the nightmare begins. So when I first arrived there were no customers behind me and I began to ask some general questions before I drop 2K on a computer system, as I was asking questions the one representative was not willing to answer my questions and then rudely told me to wait approx 30 feet from the store while they get computer ready, and said they need to serve other customers (as nobody was behind me). Already I was a little frustrated on how I was being spoken too. Then they kept calling me over telling me they don't have this in stock or that in stock so I told them to give me something similar. Then the worst happened. The nice gaming computer was brought to the front, I could see it, and was ready to pay. As I was standing there the rude gentleman went to the one who was cashing me out, they were talking to each other then they look at me and told me the PC was sold in between the time I arrived and them getting the order ready. That crushed my moral and I was REALLY angry then. They said there was another tower that was just as good. So I said sure, truly I just wanted to get outta there. Once home I opened up the tower box and was so disappointed in what I saw. The tower looked like it was from the 90's. No cool flashing lights you'd normally see on gaming computers. This was a giant waste of money. I ended up calling the CC in Waterloo and told them my story and they were much better and were able to satisfy my computer needs. I DO NOT recommend CC in London. Rude employees and bad stock.
Just terrible. I wanted to order a replacement keyboard for my lap top and replace it my. They wouldn't let me buy the keyboard unless they installed it themselves.
The worst service ever. I placed an online order online for an item that the website showed as available in inventory (12 pieces). 2 days later, I receive an email that the item is not available and my purchase was placed on back order. I responded immediately requesting to cancel the order- because I have an urgent need. Another 2 days went by and I get a link to cancel the order online; however, I tried like 10 times to cancel it but the order remains active and I don't get a notification or confirmation. I emailed support and waited for a few days now but no response. I tried calling the support phone and the local numbers many times and I waited for more than an hour on a couple of occasions but it keeps saying that my call is important to them but no one picks up. I'm honestly shocked by the poor service.
Everything went fine, so it tastes ok. They take covid seriously and I approve
Since I started to deal with Canada Computers I am very happy with the service and attention provided to solve all my issues in terms of buying new components and/or repairing my desktop computer in two different occasions. Regarding repairs they are just great since in the first occasion RJ P, an excellent technician working for Canada Computers in Milton, did a very quick and precise diagnosis of my old gaming computer in 2018 and found that the problem was a failing video card. He spent time to recommend me the best and cheapest video card available and fully compatible with my system. Also suggested to pay attention because the next component to fail would be the HDD. The branch of Milton was closed for good 3 months after such repair, Actually my computer failed again and in this occasion the HDD was the cause. So I decided to go ahead again with Canada Computers after discussing this issue with many others different providers with no success. So I was incredible lucky to find again R J P. after checking in 3 different Canada Computer branches. Therefore, he did that again and rebuild my computer with the best and cheapest components compatible with some of my old components that are still working properly. R J P. was pretty good also for loading very old games (from 2003 and 2005) which I played with in my old PC that used window 7. Actually this rebuild was performed via Windows 10 Pro. In fact now , I have again almost a brand new computer with very good components which is capable to have a performance as good as brand new computers but a much lower price. Oakville's branch and R J P. policy is they are only happy if all the client's issues are fully solved and became happy too. I fully recommend this branch and R J P. who is very knowledgeable and reliable technician who does the extra mile to solve any of your problems.
I had one condition on buying two laptops for my kids, they had to be able to run minecraft, after being assured that the two laptops could run the game for my kids I made the purchase, only to find out that these laptops CANT run the game, I was cheated and lied to by your associates, and will never go back in one of your stores
Great experience, was fast to replace my New laptop after hardware failer. Knowledgable and easy going.
Kristian was a great help in helping me find which GPU would be the best bang for my buck! Greatly appreciated his help today!!!
Lots of product to chose from. monthly specials and knowledgeable staff.
The best selection of inventory for computer parts, cables, video monitors etc. Highly recommended
Awesome service!!! Took the time to repair chrome book so we didn't have to ship out and be with out!! Really appreciate your help, shout out to Justin! THANK YOU
Extremely helpful staff and good stock
Juat wanted to say these guys are amazing soo helpful very knowledgeable and provide awesome service. The service team as well is extremely helpful and are completely honest with. Thanks guys for all your help with my son's new cpu build
Went to buy a laptop.although very much customer friendly did not get any promotion new year deal
Very personable and helpful staff!
The worst customer service one could experience. It was so bad that I left the store and paid $150 more to buy an SSD and memory card off of Amazon. And their tech staff were so stoned that I had to teach myself and risk destroying a $4000 laptop by doing the installation myself rather than to let them do it. That's how bad my shopping experience was!
Your one stop computer store in niagara area and so. Has everything one would want to building your new computer or up grading
Honestly could not be more dissappointed/angry, had a great conversation with one rep about monitors, another rep however not so great, told him I needed windows 10 usb at least 3 times, and he assured me he grabbed the usb version and put it in the bag, get home to see its the cd version, cant return......150 bucks gone
They have a decent selection and will price match online stores which is a huge plus. I have picked up a few items from here recently and it was a smooth and easy process. Highly recommended.
Be careful of their repair/build service. I brought it my computer to have it looked because it would not turn on. After getting my computer back and bringing it home I saw that I part of my new motherboard I bought was chipped off by them. I called in to ask if I can receive or get anything from this damage but they were rude and yelled at me. They didn't acknowledge or even tell me that they broke off a part of the motherboard upon receiving my computer. Customer service is bad from those repair guys while the remaining part of the store is pleasing.
Went in Boxing Day to get a new setup and the guy I was dealing with told me the headphones w mic would work with the laptop I had purchased. The mic didn’t work so I went to return them and they wouldn’t take them back because they weren’t faulty. Garbage service.
I had a full paid pre-order for rtx 3080 GPU from Feb. I got a call indicating that my pre order is no longer valid and to go in person to the store. No offer of another card or anything for holding on to my money. All along they strung me along whenever I asked for updates, "shipment should be coming soon".
Unprofessional staff laughed at me when I didn't pronounce the name of a computer part right.
Very good prices, I'd say similar to what Ncix used to have. They have quite a wide range of products, which is great for any computer person. Store layout seems the same and staff very helpful
The staff here are really good, impressed by the quick and efficient service. Special thanks the Cameron for resolving the issue with my MB. Will be doing all my electronic shopping here from now.
Great service. Call ahead to set aside product to be picked up....
Best prices around ????????
Excellent helpful service, you were not left to wonder aimlessly looking for what you want.
Placed a backorder for a 3080 halfway through December. Had to order in person at the store front (outside), paid in full in advance. Got notified it was here halfway through January via text and email. Immediately showed up to pick it up, …
Reasonable prices.
Although on previous visits, it would take a good half hour before a salesperson came by and asked if I required any assistance (if they came by at all), this visit was different. It only took about 5 minutes before someone came by and offered to help me. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. The salesperson was friendly, and although he was not an expert on the product that I was looking into, he was honest about it and did his best to help. Even for someone who was not an expert, he knew enough to give me some things to think about and was helpful. So i will say this was one of the more positive visits I've had. Hopefully this trend continues.
Best pc place in London. Prices are the most competitive around and the staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. They will also usually give you their honest opinion when comparing two products.
I have picked up sever items here over the last couple of months. Although the selection is a little lean at the moment (most likely just a result of covid) the staff is up front with what they know and dont know. I appreciated the one staff member not knowing anything about the NAS I was purchasing admitting to it instead of lying about it.
I come here on a regular basis to purchase computer components. The service is minimal as another reviewer has said. Staff avoids making eye contact with you and when finally engaged are not helpful. Selection at this specific store is also pretty poor. More and more often I end up turning to newegg.
Great store. But they need more staff on the floor busy days. They staff on shift were doing there best but we're out numbered
I've been to other locations but the Waterloo is hands down the best. All the staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. Was a pleasure doing business. I shall definitely visit here again
Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Went into the store, with a vague idea of what I wanted and the staff were able to direct me to the best product for my budget. No complaints and my computer has been working well ever since.
Staff are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, whether I'm in and out shopping, or have 20 questions for them. Clean store, prices on par (or better than) newegg or amazon.
The employee listened to what I needed and quickly found a solution.
To the employee whom insisted the product I asked for (pricing hard drive converter) wouldn’t fit and tried to sell me another one that actually wouldn’t have fit... guess what it fit in my Mac Pro with no problem. Also next time you ask if someone wants to go from 3.5” down to 2.5” or from 2.5” up to 3.5” as I tried to explain to you in store when you said there are certain circumstances that you could.... you have a 2.5” hole/space , you take a 3.5” ball ... is it going to fit? Not to mention that most 2.5” applications can’t supply power for a 3.5” drive. When a customer asks for a specific product just sell them that product, chances are they are more educated on the application than you are.
Alex is super helpful and competent; the team there is friendly, honest and straight to the point. I love the fact that given the proper information and problem they'll do their best to fix it or give alternatives to the solution.
I thought some of the negative reviews were exaggerated but they aren't. I've been a long time customer for Canada Computers when I was in Ottawa and now I tried this one in Oakville. Everytime I visit Oakville site, I have to go to Burlington/Mississauga location afterwards to get better service/products. Problems I have with this store: 1. Employees are all just going about their own business and customer walks in with zero help until approaching a grumpy employee who gives the look of "how dare you interrupt this conversation I am having with my friend". 2. The websites clearly show what's in stock, and it's not seen in the store, and when I ask an employee to find it, the employee begrudingly finds it in the back and refuses to look for other items that the store has and says "Oh, we don't have any". If you are used to having real customer service experience, skip this one and go to the Burlington/Missisauga location because the environment in this store specifically is down right hostile toward customers.
Excellent, knowledgeable service without pressure! Justin answered all my questions and made a number of suggestions, one which would not cost me anything! I ended up making a purchase to see if it would work, assured that I could return it if it didn't. It did work and I'm so pleased!
Best prices
Called and asked a question and was hung up on by some women
The staff was friendly and approachable. I asked someone for advice with a new headset and he was knowledgeable. I also price matched with a sale that best buy had and they beat the best buy sale by 10 percent of the difference. I would recommend checking them out.
Canada Computers is an amazing store for your all computer and other needs. They carry all the parts that you need for building your own PC. They also carry pre built desktop and laptop PCs. Apart from the PCs and their associated parts they also carry following items: -External hard drives -Solid state drives -Blank media -Printers, monitors, scanners, keyboard and mouse, toners, speakers, UPS and blank media -SD and micro SD cards, USB sticks -Operating Systems and antivirus & security software -Play station, Xbox, games and other accessories -NAS, Routers, range extenders, switches and firewall, etc -Surveillance and security cameras -Home automation -Cameras and camcorders -TVs and home theatre -Professional audio, phones, GPS and SMART watches -Appliances and furniture -Drones and other r/c toys -HDMI, VGA, USB, Audio and networking cables Plus a lot more. They also provide repair services for PCs and laptops, etc. The new location has a lot more on display and it is huge.
Same staff and same management as the old location who wouldn't take back brand new defective goods they sold over the counter. Furthermore they have no interest in helping you unless you're looking at something that will profit them like a new laptop.
VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Was going to order a graphics card online for my sons computer. The price was listed as $369.99. When I got to checkout it said that the price was "To be determined". Since I did not want to get charged a crazy price, I called store to find out what was going on. Waited on hold for 30 minutes the first time, so I hung up and called back. Sales person said he did not know why my online order was telling me that and that the price was indeed $369.99. I asked if I could pay over the phone or he could hold it for me and he said no. I told him I would try to complete the order online. I was not able to, so I called back again. Asked again if I could pay over the phone or he could hold he said no. He told me to come to the store. Drove all the way to the store and he told me he had already sold it. Honestly, my hope is that Bestbuy starts carrying more computer products. There service is much better.
Helpful service
WORST customer service experience I've ever had. Don't waste your time and money at this store, you'll only feel disrespected in the end. I purchased a iPhone charging cable from Canada Computers - Waterloo and was told that there would be no issues with it being compatible with my device. Sure enough, it turned out to be defective two weeks later. I even spent more money to get the more reliable brand that they recommended. Boy, they sure fooled me... If it couldn't get any worse, they REFUSED TO EXCHANGE my charger for a new one. Although I did not keep receipt or the box for the charger, I was literally talking to the employee who ACTUALLY REMEMBERED selling me the charger, but they still would not offer and exchange since they claimed it was against their policy. If I didn't need anymore proof, I even had the transaction history of my debit card purchases, which showed proof of purchase of the charger. Once again, they ignored me and claimed that they wouldn't help me because it was against their policy. I didn't know I had to hire an auditor before I could get decent customer service... I voiced my concern to the store's manager, Dave, who was completely UNSYMPATHETIC for my concern and DID NOT CARE to help me whatsoever. As I tried to explain my situation, he cut me off several times and was very hostile in how he communicated with me. This made me feel very embarrassed. All he could offer me was to call the head office, which is just an easy way to shift the problem onto someone else. And of course, as I called the head office 10 TIMES TODAY, nobody picked up! You can't make this stuff up! Had I shopped at Best Buy or Costco, they would completed an exchange in a second, no problem. I explained this to Dave, to which he replied, "that's their policy, not ours." Having a policy DOES NOT mean you're right. The customer should ways be right, but he made me feel like an idiot. I highly recommend that you DO NOT go here. EVER!
Helpful staff Conrad was very helpful. Made sure I got a laptop in my budget that would fit my needs. A lot better then going to best buy.
Location is always decently clean and their staff is definitely helpful. I would agree that I always feel like I'm being watched but then again I know there are a lot of wackos out there so it is what it is.
Probably the only place to go to for computer parts and components. Prices are much higher than Amazon. Great customer service, staff is always helpful. But I noticed that they have way too many staff members and not that many customers, I would suggest they have less employees, that way, they can lower prices. Free parking.
Back in the day when their Burnaby location was their only storefront it was so painful to shop at NCIX. They had the greatest prices but you would have to stand in a group of customers for hours just to have someone help you. Now that they have multiple locations, ironed out their customer service and offer ecommerce and pick up in store it's hard to shop anywhere else. This is a great example of a store that listens to their customer base.
I found Anthony T to be very condescending when working with him today. I understand that your salespeople have to try to upsell, but he wasn't trying to upsell me - the person making the purchase - he was trying to upsell my partner - the person who was just along for the ride. He did not direct any of his questions to me, and instead would look to my partner for an answer every time. It was a frustrating experience.
Good place to computer wares. Also get points for doing so.
I had an excellent experience with the repair of my laptop. The customer service, dedication and follow up is so much evident and well appreciated. The technician Mr. Tryston H. went over and beyond in fixing the problem. Will not hesitate in recommending this place. Keep up the good work.
Great place for all your computer needs
Beware - if you buy anything that happens to be DOA (dead on arrival) from them, they won't replace it until they confirm it is in fact broken -at least a 2 day process for their techs. If you want to buy a replacement while you wait and after dropping off the device to be verified as dead, you'll have to put the order in online and wait at least an hour for them to process it - even if you're at the store, it's in stock and you're waiting. Terrible experience. I've spent 10s of thousands with canada computers but will never use this location again.
Came by to buy some parts for my PC build. Staff were very knowledgeable about upcoming processors and very budget wise. S/O Gary and Kristian. Thanks for all the recommendations and help
Friendly staff, good prices, but disorganized
A mix between a warehouse and Staples store, they've got fun, hard-to-find stuff in here. It's sometimes easy to go unnoticed for a while, so just pipe up a little for service. Sometimes their deals aren't super clear (for example, a video card is on sale, but only if it's rev. X.a and not X.b). The iCan store brand is kind of low quality (for example, the lenses on the optical audio cables I got here scratched every time I plugged it in somewhere new). But mostly it's a well-stocked and fun place.
We went there after BB. What a difference. Just straightforward, no "iffy" statements, just right to the point. We got the deal we wanted, with all the bells and whistles...very reasonable price. Peaceful and satisfying end to a hectic Boxing Day search. They fix everything, when needed, in house. I bought the whole 4 year maintenance program. I think, I'm going to be very happy with these guys!
It's not bad. I don't like how they never ask at checkout if you're a rewards member so you have to remember yourself to mention it to get the points. Every other store always asks.
Staff makes a big difference here . They able to answer your question and explain differences between products. Also professional and helpful . They listen and give you choices without any pressure. I did major upgrade to my gaming computer and it was very smooth and positive experience.
Best computer store I've been too in Canada thus far.
Got what I came for. Bought online for in-store pick-up. Same day delivery was only $4.5 if you live far. Had all the parts I needed. They have a lot of affordable parts from China. They carry the some of same stuff from Amazon. Customer service was non existent but I knew what I wanted. Lots of parts on display to compare. Would buy here again to support local.
Was looking at power supply and graphics card. Staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They were able to make several suggestions and recommendations based on what I had, and what I wanted. Highly recommended for anyone looking for any computer parts (or a computer) that may have questions about what is best for their needs.
Asked about a battery replacement for my Thinkpad and although they do not carry it suggested a company out in Vancouver with the website. Solid customer service!
Picked up a motherboard about a week ago, never used still in the box. Went on the website today and saw the sales I saw a different motherboard that I wanted. So I went to return my other unused motherboard, they told me that I could not return it because the box was open even though I said it was unused sitting on top of my desk. The manager (or I think is the manager) completely ignored what I was saying and did not end up getting the other motherboard I wanted.
Fun place to shop if you are a techno geek. If not, the people working there know their stuff so you can get good help.
Great but I am becoming weary of shopping their due to their ever expanding return policies. I understand that returning headphone that stick in your ear canal may be an issue but applying the same policy to over ear headphone is ridiculous. I also don't advice buying appliances or other consumer goods ad they won't accept returns.
The store has knowledgeable and helpful crew. It is a good place to browse through if you are looking for specialized tech stuff not available at the common franchise stores. For brands and gadgets available at the franchise stores, we found the prices here to be on a higher side. Still it is a place worth visiting while you are shopping to upgrade or replace your tech stuff.
9/10 times they have what you need
Today I purchased a laptop from this location, the young man who assisted me was polite, knowledgeable and very friendly. (Little Mike) There was a slight miscommunication and I had to return to the store a few hours later to get it figured out, Sam and Big Mike were so unbelievably helpful and patient. I am not a computer savvy person and these gentlemen took the time to not only help me and resolve the problem, they took the time to explain it to me! They helped even further when they took the time to let me open the program and make it sure it worked before I left. ????HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ????
Excellent and consistent customer service at every visit.
Best local pc related place
Awful customer service; repeatedly ignored & spoken rudely too.
Awesome staff. Very helpful. Will definitely go back for other computer needs
Just purchased some ram for my computer. I dealt with Devin, probably the least helpful person I have dealt with in a while. He rang up the ram and then informed me it was final sale. Probably would have been nice to have known before he rang it up. I asked if the ram was difficult to put in, he said "oh yes worst than a laptop in your all in one system." I asked how much for them to do it, he never bothered to find out the cost and acted like it would take weeks. I said, I know how the cover comes off. He said good you can install it yourself. First time shopping there and I will never be back. Later added. I watched a 10 min YouTube video. It took less than 5 min to take the computer apart and click in the Ram. Devin must know as much about computers as he knows about customer service.
I use to purchase all of my computer hardware here, today I made the last visit I plan on making after the service I received. I called and asked if they had a specific product, I was told yes over the phone. I whent into the store and asked an employee named Devin where I might find the item. He told me they don't have any of the specific items in stock that I need. After I was told over the phone that they specifically had it. So I asked to see similar items and he showed me a couple options and told me that one of them will not work, and they other is low quality and shouldn't be trusted. They did infact have exactly what I wanted, and when I said I wanted to purchase it, he was very rude and stated they would not accept returns due to incompatibility. I said I would take the gamble and try my chances. He then proceeded to ring me threw without asking for my account. When I asked if it could be attached he told me its to late and offered no further assistance. I'm boggled by this terrible tier customer service. I'm glad another parts store opened up in town, I will be moving my business to Memory Express. Just for the record the item was exactly what I wanted, it works perfectly(I waited until i got home to test it before writing this) but my receipt was stamped with final sale voiding my instore warranty due to the employees lack of knowledge.
10/10 AMAZING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE !!! Went in because I had a "CPU Fan Error". The guy took my computer apart saw that I didn't even have a fan to begin with then custom installed a fan where there was no spot even for it to fit. He didn't even charge me for the labour so my issue was solved for 13 dollars!!
Bought a gaming desktop from a reputable brand but it was giving troubles from day 1. I was very nervous because I had read bad reviews about CC’s return policy and post-sale customer service. But I was surprised and relieved. Brandon (I believe that was his name, the tall guy in a Bluejays hat) was very polite, patient and helpful. He offered to replace the unit but gladly gave me a full refund without putting pressure on me to go for an exchange. Andrei stood beside me throughout the process and I felt like I got taken care of. Excellent customer service. Wish you guys great success in your careers.
These guys seemed knowledgeable and helpful. Good prices.
Sold me expired ink catridge...had to go to North York (yonge and eglinton location) to get it replaced (replacement worked without issue). The reason I'm blaming this store location rather than the manufacturer is because when I brought the packaging and all of its contents to the yonge and eglinton area location, they said they've never seen this kind of packaging for my cartridge. And... the expiry date on the box was covered by their barcode sticker. Shady af.
I placed an order with them on the 6th of July . I want to cancel it and keep calling and nobody answers no matter what department I call. The only communication there is is by email and that takes minimum 2 days to get an answer and sometimes more than a week. Really disappointing and still waiting for a refund.
All the cables and little tech things u could ever need
The prices are good, and the staff is great. They're very proactive when it comes to helping you find everything you need. Many of the prices are on par with what you will find on Amazon.
I bought a motherboard at 5 p.m. yesterday and I went to change it today at 11 a.m. and they told me they didn't accept it because it was open and you're not supposed to open it if you buy anything to verify your answer was to sell it in Kijiji
These guys are absolutely amazing. AMAZING customer service and quality in everything they do. Very approachable and knowledgeable.
I needed a particular part for a fix on a computer. Picked it up here, for a decent price too! And it was in stock. Courteous and friendly staff.
Always impressed with the service I get at this store. I'd like to give a special shout-out to Brandon for his speedy replacement of my motherboard; in talking with him, it is obvious that he is extremely knowledgeable about computer hardware
I went to the St Catherine’s store today, middle of the day on a Thursday. Store was closed. Hours of operation on the door says they should be open. I have been a retail owner and operator for 25 years and have never had my doors closed for no reason. The management and staff in this store is a joke. I will buy my stuff on Amazon. Thanks for saving me money Canada Computers.
Went in to buy a graphics card and they had several on the shelf. Was told I wasn't allowed to buy the $2800 card without buying at least another $1000 worth of stuff I don't need, and the message was delivered with some hostility by the sales associate. If scalping customers by forcing them to buy stuff they don't need and can't return, how does that make them any better than a straight scalper? It makes them worse, as that puts the kit well over what the card would cost from a scalper!!
Second time there, first time bought a pc case, was planning on building a gaming pc on budget. meshify S2 is the case I bought 2 weeks ago. Went back yesterday to buy part was planning on spending 700 to 800 compared to the two pcs I have are 10 and 15 years old, so anything would be better. I went in there welcomed me which makes the environment there better, till I asked a young guy that works there what my plans are and budget once I told him my price range he literally shut me down, and told me there's nothing I can do it will cost 1200 for a build. I showed him a picture of the parts I want that I literally searched up on there site and still got shut me down by him. I left him and looked around to I seen an older guy that works there I asked him the same thing. His face expression got me worried till he started thinking and started walking me around explaining parts that would be in my budget. What do you know he set me up with everything I need to get the pc up and running. For him I'd give it a 5 star or more if could, but it has to be 1 star cause that young employee, way to disrespectful. Will go back to the store but if I see that kid working I'll happily turn around and walk out.
This used to be a good store. I bought the Tech Protection coverage, I would not recommend this to anyone save your money and the headache. The no waiting translates to come back in an hour when we have tested this cooling unit, then goes to we don't have it in stock but come back in a 1 to 3 days. They were rude and very unhelpful there was no replacement of equal or lesser value offered. I was told that it was not a contract and that their are more details about it on the website. This means that their agreement they are selling you is not fully disclosed at the time of sale, and their conduct makes it obvious they have no real intent to honor it.
Has a large selection of computers, electronics and accessories. Staff is very knowledgeable.
Staff isn't too friendly, and always seem suspicious whenever I go in. I guess they've had a lot of problems with theft, but they've never been too friendly or willing to help. Shelf stock levels are usually abysmal (for the last year, or so) but I was in there on July 8th, 2017, and everything looked well stocked, which was a surprise.
Was good the last time I went but when i went this time it said open on google and their hours on the door were 7 days a week closing at 9pm. Went there at 5pm and no one in site. Came frkm another city so quite dissappointed. Plus the parking lot is a mess. And I wasnt the only one trying to get in. Groups of people...
Bad return/refund policy. Store staff are ignorant and arrogant people trying to get you to buy as much as possible even if you don't need it. Go to memory express across the street if you can.
Better off buying online, but they're great for emergency purchases like case fans.
Jacob was extremely helpful finding exactly what I wanted. He knew everything he talked about and was exited to help me out. He also knew what products go well together and would 100% recommend going to this location.
Awesome location. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff here, would totally recommend, whether your needs are repair or purchase, they have the skills and the inventory to satisfy.
I mean, they have computers. Mostly laptops to be honest, but there are plenty of parts and the staff was knowledgeable.
Great staff, always find what I need. Go online to see if they have something in stock before you go.
Advertises false deals / bundles. Does not deliver. Customer service is the worst I've ever experienced from a retailer. Does not respond to inquiries. Avoid at all costs; amazon is a much better experience.
Canada Computers is the best place to buy a computer! Last year I needed a new laptop for work and shopped around at Best Buy and the Source, and the Canada Computers staff were by far the most knowledgeable and helpful. I got a great deal on a refurbished Acer laptop, took it home and had a few problems with the Windows on it, so I took it back and exchanged it for another one no problem. Almost a year later and I'm still very happy with my purchase!
Had what I wanted in stock and helpful staff to help me find it. Great selection.
no customer service, lousy price match policy
Super helpful staff. Helped me preorder a graphics card today. Thanks!
The people talk way to matter of factly about PC parts and they're mostly always wrong imho. People that know nothing get bad recommendations etc.
Wide selection of product. Staff more helpful and knowledgeable than large box stores. Well priced. I always go there for all electronics parts and accessories
Well stocked computer store with enthusiastic staff eager to help customers.
purchased a custom build last year and found it odd there was no fans in the case. brought it to another store and they said fans should have been added from the beginning as im running a 2080ti and they tend to heat up. luckily i trusted my gut and got a second option. When i went in i told them i have no idea how to build a tower so i needed their expert advice. the first guy i dealt with was very rude and talked down to me until i asked for another sales person to help me as i didnt want to deal with him and his attitude. i told new guy my budget was about 5k and i needed him to show me exactly what was needed to build a powerful gaming pc. the fans were a big oversite that shouldnt have been missed and could have killed my pc within a year or 2. very disappointed considering they should be knowledgeable in building pcs. i wont be buying my next tower from here. if i could give zero stars i would because my budget was big enough this small thing shouldnt have been missed. i got it liquid cooled but everyone else ive talked to said other fans are needed to pump out the hot air through the back of the case and pull cool air into the front of the case.
Great selection
The lack over overall stars comes down to two experiences one in the past when I was building my Pc waiting for the 2080 ti to drop, I was given the run around and around and around during that time regarding when things would be in (preventing me from buying the card elsewhere), I was told I was getting the first one that came through the door ( I pre ordered 8 months in advance and wanted a specific brand card) and eventually found out one came in but was sold mistakenly to a customer off the street, which lead me to wait an additional month.(old news didn't even make a review about it at the time) Brings us to today, I purchased a $200 gaming keyboard, brought it home plugged it in worked great, went to plug my phone charger into the back extra port, would not go in... turned it around looked at it and noticed the plastic "cover?" that cloaks the pins was gone (not in my phone usb male portion or in the box / wrapping just gone, and a pin was bent preventing me from plugging in. This is a minor issue but still brand new KB should be in fact defect free. Called the store first to explain the situation was told "yea bring it in to our service department for review" (was never told about physical damage policy) wasted my time (I work and have 3 kids under 2 at home spare time is valuable) went in they pulled it out looked at it and in not so many words told me I broke it and was lying and they wouldn't do anything about it. Their explanation for why they knew I was a liar "because every keyboard that leaves corsair's factory is inspected for quality" LOL I work in automotive quality and can ASSURE you things that are "inspected" by humans are missed about 15% of the time, this is the reason companies have warranty departments. Was told my only options were to go home and accept that fact that I have purchased an item returned it within 20 minutes of original purchase due to a defect and this local company I am trying to support told me to pound salt. Or contact the Corsair warranty department (lol why is that needed when things are inspected?" and wait approx 2 weeks while I shop back my keyboard and wait for them to replace it because "they don't want customers saying bad things against their name". So Corsair is smart enough to eat the cost of doing business because they do not want bad reviews but Canada Computers welcomes and encourages such reviews with their lack of return policy that even remotely allows the customer to be right.
amazingly helpful staff, especially for someone like me who doesn't have great knowledge of computer components or how to build your own PC. One of the managers mike took the time to help pick out each and every part i would need to build my PC and had it ready for me to pick up the next day. Mike built me my dream PC for an amazing price and is by far the most knowledgeable and best PC tech i have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
When you charge 20 dollars for BIOS update and the technicians cannot install a cpu cooler properly and plugs in an HDMI cable into a ryzen chip without igpu 10/10.
Awesome service from Anthony and Jacob, very friendly and knowledgeable service. Answered all my questions
Great sales staff. Reasonable prices
Cold, unwelcoming customer service. Very up in your face right when you walk in and then disinterested thereafter. I was in the market for a computer with set parameters and wanted to know some options. The guy gave me one mediocre option and had a very 'take it or leave it' attitude. Would have appreciated some effort and sincerity in trying to work with me in finding something I would be happy with. As it went though, I bought from BestBuy because they took the time to care.
Ebrahim, a very polite and very helpful young man, should DEFINITELY be recognized for his professionalism and efficiency. I don't know much about computers so my husband sends me with pictures to purchase equipment and such. This young man went above and beyond to help me. All I had to do was pay and thank him, which is all I want to do, not wander looking for something I have no idea about. This is my husband's new favorite store and fast becoming mine. Well done!!!
Always a great selection of computer parts and accessories
Went here this morning and had excellent customer service, especially given the current situation. I went as soon as the store opened as I heard there was lines and there was but this was a non issue as they were 3-5 minutes max. I also went before receiving my "ready for pickup" email as I was unsure whether they even got to their emails during this time, and the item I was purchasing was on sale and the sale was ending Today. I was unsure whether they would honor the sale after today but they said they would, as it is based on when the order is placed, that aside they quickly put together my order that wasn't ready in a matter of a few minutes. Just wanted to show my appreciation as some people have given negative reviews lately but I think most are unjustified.
Not recommended, stay away from this location.
I was told that my computer would be back to me in 2-4 weeks, which is fine, but I was also told I would be contacted with a price in the next few days after dropping it off, instead I did not hear from them for over 2 weeks and ended up having to go in to ask after not getting any information over the phone. The female staff that works at the welcome desk is overly rude and makes it known to customers.
DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! GO TO MEMORY EXPRESS!!! The "final sale" return policy at canada computers is completely BS. If you try to replace or return a broken/defective product they just claim "finale sale" and won't replace or refund your product. Memory express has much better service and a legit return policy.
Went in the store looking for nvidia 3000 series gpu. Saw a bunch of them sitting on the shelves. Was told by employees they could not sell them to me and whispered to me that i had to pay them a fee under the table if i want to get one.
Lots of selection ..great helpful staff
The best of online with bricks and mortar. Great and knowledgeable staff that fields all sorts of questions while not being pushy. Prices are very competitive compared to online options while offering better return/exchange times if you're one of the unlucky few to need it.
Many people have told me about how great this place is but they never seem to carry what I need. I've been there 6 times over the last few years but I have never bought anything from them because they haven't had the products that I was looking for. Today I went in for a USB adapter..
Very condescending staff. When asked questions sighing and acting like a know it all. One guy in there is probably the worst sales person to deal with. And won't sell gpus by themselves. Never using their services again
Built my pc. Fixed my dads cheep and i continue to hit up their staff for opinions on my pc purchases. 10/10 would shop again
Friendly staff able to answer technical question .
Staff are rude and condescending when asking for advice on parts. Never offering any type of advice and talk down to you when you're unsure of something. Worst customer service ever. Only reason I still shop here instead of Newegg.ca (which has lower prices) is because I hate shipping computer parts.
Prices are better than many other stores.
Got 16g of ram and 500g solid state hard drive. Worked perfect computer flies now. Cost $201 well worth it.
I purchased whole computer parts for my child's online class and i really thank this store for their hard work at that day. However, my built computer has internet issue, of course i updated lan driver, with motherboard Lan port even though the internet line doesn't have any issue with other computers. So, I tried to contact this seller to ask exchanging the motherboard but they have never received callings. I also asked this company's customer service but no reply yet. I have no idea how to exchange this issued motherboard, not refund. Maybe, just sell parts after then not their business any more. What a easy business they are doing.
DO NOT GO HERE, GO ACROSS THE STREET TO MEMORY EXPRESS! this CC is stockpiling GPUs on the shelf but won’t actually let you purchase unless you do a PC build with them. customer service is non existent and they just chat with each other and ignore you in the store. Worst computer store ever
I like
Avoid this place, to this day I still think about how they gifted me with the worst possible customer service the few times I went.
Relatively new store location and my first experience with a purchase from them. They quickly and easily arranged to help me exchange a monitor that I had purchased from their store within a day of assessment. Staff is very friendly and the experience was smooth. Overall, pleased with the service and experience. The store is also clean and very organized so it is easy to navigate for any computer peripherals or accessories that you might need!
Price is no good. Service is poor. Try to price match with ME but got turn away. Never buy from this store.
Store seems to have a good selection of products. Nice to see a dedicated store for computers in Halifax. Store is always clean and tidy with lots of staff around to answer questions. Our first time there it was supposed to be open until 8. Met an employee in the parking lot who said they were closed. Ask what time they were open until and he said 8 with a smile and proceeded to get into his car and drive away. It was 7:15. Since that day, we visited two more times in which the store was closed, contrary to the posted hours.
Great shop for your local computer needs.
Visited this store just a few days ago, and once again was impressed by the whole experience. Service here is always MORE than competent, and not just with respect to product and technical issues. The counter staff are patient, knowledgeable, and efficient. The products are always up-to-date and reasonably priced. Special thanks to Devon and Cody at the service desk for their help and support. These guys care! Can you honestly say you feel that way upon leaving almost any store??? Not usually. You will also notice long-time staff are always present here, a positive sign I believe of their satisfaction with their workplace and the services and products they offer. Thank you all, see you soon!
Sales people are very friendly and helpful!! And the price their are fairly priced! Highly recommend this place
Horrible service buyer beware. Purchased expensive keyboard one key popped off within a couple weeks. Tried to exchange item and they would not do it because the service guy said it was "physical damage and they do we cover physical damage". There was no physical damage only a defective product and I will not shop somewhere that does not allow returns or replacement of defective items. Horrible service. Another thing to note is that when I emailed them with my issue they would not even respond.
Awesome products, great prices. Check online and/or call to confirm stock before you go in, they don't mind one bit putting things on hold for you especially if it can save you time for them looking things while you awkwardly wait. Sales end Thursday, begin Friday. You can order things online to the store OR to a location for a fee, they occasionally have promos where if you spend $50 or more you get free shipping in Ontario. Ordering items do take time, expect 5-7 business days but ask as items may vary to bring in. Try to stay away from SPECIAL ORDER items if you can help it unless its a Pre-Order but even then, check to see delivery date. Prices online is what you pay in store. If a tag isn't there don't hesitate to ask but you should be good as long as you didn't see the sale a week ago or if its Friday. Return policy is a bit sticky, make sure you have the receipt, or the invoice number. Most if not all computer hardware is Exhange ONLY, once OPNED so be sure to ask your questions and/or do your research before you buy something, staff are very knowledgeable and friendly don't be afraid to ask. Thanks for the awesome service CC Team!
they're always d*ck's on the phone and love to flatter themselves with how much specs on a box they can spew out to you, and they're not very helpful. 0/10
Friendly employees and everything you may need for your computer.
The worst place I ever went to buy parts for a build everything they sold me had issues from day one save ur selves some hassle stick to newegg or OEM builds up save urself slot of heartache
Great spot to pick up all those little electronic and computer things you need for home of for the office. Also carry a great selection phone cases, and if I remember correctly they sell the Nespresso machines and pods.
Here’s my second review after going to the Richmond Canada Computers to compare with the Broadway one. In general Canada Computers works like this: Staff: 1-2 stars Reason: Sales Representative tend to only sell you something but don’t tell you what’s wrong or if something goes wrong it’s your responsibility to take care of it. It is best for those who want to buy computer parts and want to build a pc but for those who want to buy a laptop I recommend you buy elsewhere. Why? There are no reviews on their website at Canada Computers even after posting a review meaning they don’t want customers to find out what’s wrong with a computer before buying. Their return policy is totally subject to their companies policy and they can easily reject you for any number of reasons so it’s there for show only. On one of their repair policy it is noted that if you don’t pickup the repair after 3 months it’s theirs. They also cannot fulfill their policy of price matching on the web and I was there when I saw one guy come in before Black Friday to price match a bunch of computer parts only to be refused by the sales saying they don’t do price match for a long while now before checkout. In other words, if you buy something, don’t expect to be able to return it and if something goes wrong, Canada Computers won’t do anything to save you. All they can do is send it back to manufacturers to fix if under warranty, which you can do yourself. Response: Depending on the stores some won’t even pickup the phone. When they do, they tend to brush you off if possible and if your lucky you might meet someone somewhat decent to talk to but expect yourself to tell them what to do to get their jobs done. Also sales and repair department is two separate departments so if you want to know the status of your repairs, you need to contact them Monday to Friday when their technicians are in. Email response tend to be ignored if you don’t provide information. Customers are considered troublesome to deal with so employees tend to brush them off as a nuisance. Saving grace is repair department does do their job, while taking two weeks to do so just to apply thermal paste on cpu/gpu with a reasonable price and will send stuff for fixing for those under warranty back to manufacturer, but I highly don’t recommend it unless you have to especially those who have a laptop with say water damage. Then again you can send the laptop yourself since it’s under warranty. To summarize: Canada Computers is a good place to buy cheap pc parts and some laptops not found elsewhere. However, if something goes wrong it’s your problem not Canada Computers. Don’t expect returns or if you receive a dud expect to take it out of your own pocket. Customer service is only there to sell and expect to be treated like a beggar for any service for most customer service person in sales or to tell them exactly what they need to do to do their jobs. Repairs are ok and they do their job for those who have warranties to send to manufacturer or need special services to work on their computers like adding thermal paste to cpu/gpu they do their jobs for an ok price. Emails/Phone Calls are dreadfully terrible. Avoid at all costs and go to store instead. I don’t recommend Canada Computers due to their terrible service, bad communication in their own departments, bad communication on contacts and policies that they do not uphold but are there written down to take advantage of customers gullibility of thinking there is this service to return things or price match something only to be disappointed. I recommend bestbuy or amazon instead.
Excellent service ! Rick and the staff had my laptop repaired on time as quoted.
Helpful
I left after waiting to purchase a case fan and m.2 SSD as it took just too long for any staff to assist me.
Awful sales service. Also took them one week to assemble my PC. Not so experienced. Their communication skills are awful. I was initially charged an extra $50 without being told and sent home with the wrong paperwork. Really weird system. Really weird business. Even while I was waiting in Line I met a gentleman who had his computer "fixed" that morning. Turned out it still didn't work after trying it at home. I'd rather go to geek squad and get ripped of to there.
Terrible service in Halifax. Price matching policy is a joke!!! They are trying to charge you for the fastest delivery, and for EACH ITEM!!!! I was about to purchase 3 access points, which were 299 each in store. Other Canadian store has them for 229, with free 2 day delivery and $29 next day delivery. The manager at the store tried to charge me $29 x 3, for each item…… unbelievable !!! Very unpleasant to deal with.
Mike was great! got me exactly what I was looking for. Would defiantly purchase from there again
i have a disability and the they refused accommodate me the person on the phone even chuckled at my misfortune I loved this store for the longest time but the way they treat people with disability's is outrageous boycotting this store
Great costumer service and support, very fast with my orders.
Went here to grab a laptop and with the help of Enzo managed to pick the right one for me ! Extremely helpful will be back!
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff that are willing to help you find what you need
Freaking love this store. I go fairly frequently. They don't constantly pester me while I'm looking around like BestBuy does, they ask once if I need help then move on, which is great. They usually have what I want in stock at newegg prices or better. They're friendly, helpful and honest. Highly recommend this store.
looking for a fit bit watch band they didn't carry the brand end of story
If you think that incredible service is a thing of the past, think again. Canada Computers on West Broadway goes above and beyond in personal service and product quality. Shout out to all the staff and management who not only delivered the highest quality of service but demonstrated respectful teamwork every time I walked through their doors. Eddy who welcomed me the first day and started me off on my journey pointing me in the right direction , John who filled me in on some behind the scenes benefits of computer support services, special shout out to Neeraj, who’s incredible patience, expertise and consideration resulted in me finding the perfect, affordable computer to fit my needs , Conrad who, always with a smile, researched my questions and helped me find accessories to put it all together, Tristan who contributed to the overall respectful environment and gave nods and suggestions throughout the process as I witnessed him offer top quality service to others as I kept his colleagues more than busy. Wherever you are in this town, Canada Computers on West Broadway is not too far away and well worth the trip. Most people recommended that I buy online when I told them I was in the market; however, after my experience at Canada Computers, I strongly disagree. I am now a lifelong customer and I recommend you join me in taking your business to where you can count on being met with integrity in service and product. Thank you! No buyer’s remorse here.
Just waited for an hour in line to exchange a faulty controller. Got home looked at new one and box has been re-taped closed. So I guess another hour tomorrow. Also staff are very slow considering they only serve one customer at a time .
Good selection of many different brands of parts. I went after black Friday so selection was a little more limited than normal. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend.
I had an issue with a item I ordered, Jacob was able to resolve the issue right away. Very professional service from him and very informative. He really went the extra mile to ensure I was satisfied with the outcome ! Thanks again Jacob!
Good selection
The people are good to deal with but Canada Computers downfall is their terrible customer service and return policies themselves. You're subject to 10% loss on any returned products and if they have troubles putting the funds back on the card, regardless of it being the same account, they will not refund you the money (Whitby store issue). Will never buy there again... Not sure if Oshawa store is the same way.
Sales rep have zero product knowledge and don’t have any will to check a product. Been there twice and this was the second time i bought my stuff from memory express. I’d totally recommend going to some place else, never had this bad experiences at one place. I’ve been making pc’s over 8 years now
Great service, excellent advice for anyone that needs it for any computer/tech problem. Great deals for computer diagnostics and repair.
Bought a computer from them last year. Best prices where found here when I compared them to other local computer stores. The computer was their built in house brand and so far it was worked flawlessly. Will buy again and recommend others.
I misplaced some screws from an old build and though they didnt sell any screws the service department blessed me with some extras for free.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff and the store is well stocked. Bonus: unlike so many other places, their online inventory for bricks & mortar store is actually ACCURATE!
Great
Skip Canada Computers, after shopping at their stores since they were on Richmond and Wharncliffe the service is horrendous now and they’ll make promises when you purchase then walk back on their word. ???? Go to memory express they just opened a new store in town and don’t have a terrible return policy like Canada computers. They also price beat stores.
I purchased warranty for a set of headphones and I went in for an exchange as they stopped working and sara was very rude and was almost refusing to exchange my headset and said that I should just buy a better set of headphones and she said she will exchange it this time and I told her that I paid for the warranty what are you talking about and then she got even more angry. Sara has TERRRIBLE customer service!!!
Cancelled my back order for no reason. Also, just noting there are allegations that CC is holding GPUs for their pre-builts when they actually have the ability to fulfill backorders but choose not to. This is not an allegation to only this CC, but to CC as a whole. I will not be supporting CC any further, personally.
I could easily create new accounts to give multiple 5 star reviews, but I think the quality of service from the employees of this store speaks for itself.
Awesome computer store!
Nice and easy, picked up my online order will buy from this company again
Ordered a graphics that was in stock. Was ready within 4 hours. That's good. I arrived to pay in person and pick it up. Fairly quick to get it from the back. That's good. Check out. Told me total and out the debit machine in front of me. I said, "I am paying cash". "Use debit" exact words. "No, I am paying cash". Don't you have a card? Exact words. Then when I refused to use debit or credit, the staff member made a very loud and audible groan. And went and suited up as if preparing for surgery. I all for protecting staff during covid; but you should not be so rude and impolite to your customers. I could have ordered this card off Amazon prime. Remember that Canada computers... When your customers stop supporting your store. Because right now the only thing you are offering that Amazon doesn't, is rude staff and bad experiences.
Really glad to see this store succeeding. Jacob helped me to procure the goods I needed without any trouble. He was very knowledgeable and made some great recommendations. I hope management takes notice of these staff members that go the extra mile.
They’re losing to the competition. It’s too much of hassle to shop there during COVID, and their only advantage, lower price, is fading away which can fade away the whole business. - all sales are final sale now - the door man doesn’t allow you in and first question you what you want (felt like I’m out to buy some illegal drug :D). Didn’t allow me in. - he asked me what I wanted. I had search it before on their website, the had it in store for $20. He went to store and come back said it is $40. I can order it from amazon, $30 shipped, no hassle of dealing with the doorman, and free return.
awesome.. always turn to Canada computers for my computer needs
The staff are super knowledgeable and helpful when finding the right product and in the right price range. Inside the location is well organized with the isles being displayed easily; if you know what you need already it can be easily found. The only drawback would be the sometimes hard selling aspect the employees are made to push for; extra items or warranty on top when at the register.
This place is great we do all our business purchases from NCIX. Also do not go to ATTIC, purchased $10,000 worth of hardware and when i went to exchange a $20 memory stick same day they made me go through a huge ordeal so we decided to try NCIX and glad we di they are way better and their people are actually service oriented!
Amazing customer service. Went above and beyond what would have been required. I will be a return customer.
Very friendly staff, however not very knowledgeable. If you want to ask a question, take their suggestion to me and just google it. I asked one associate about an issue in my computer and he said he didn't know and that I should just google it. I asked another associate about ram and they googled it and read the description! TL:DR Knowledge: 2/5 Friendliness: 4/5 Store cleanliness: 4/5
Very disappointed with my experience. I purchased a monitor for $585 at 4pm. Got home to unbox it to find the unit had sustained damage and suffered a fracture in the screen. I immediately returned the unit to the store at roughly 5pm. I …
Great service and selection. It’s out go-to for computer parts
Bought a prebuilt three years ago and went to change the thermal paste just to find this. PC did run fine for that three years however.
If you build, repair or upgrade computers you already know NCIX. If you don't, well this is the place to get the best price, selection and advice in BC. Plain and simple. Their website also has the most knowledgeable reviews and advice.
I have been going to this store for many years... And always look forward to going back for my next purchases. The long term employees are filled with passion, knowledge and humanity. Especially the senior level staff. If I could give this location six yellow stars I would.
Awful customer service sent us home with a fire hazard for a power supply and nearly caused a major accident! dont get anything built here they'll screw you and force as much money out of you as possible and then mess up your build anyway
I have been a long time customer of NCIX, and then Canada Electronics. ...I spend 1-2 grand a year and have all of my computers built from there, and 100% of my monitors, chairs, and spare parts purchased there too. Today I walked in and despite being tested every other day, I was harassed and told to leave for not having a mask. ...despite there being NO mandate in BC. I have no plans of shopping there again and it will be referred to as Communist Emectronics from this day forward. Be well, it was a good run.
Waited in line for 10 mins or so while they were helping other people. A guy behind us was holding some things to purchase and another guy behind the counter ignored us and served the other guy without saying a word. Went across to memory express to buy my i9-9900k and mobo instead.
Always have good service and the staff is knowledgeable in there products.
The sevice was fast. However, the guy helping me was not at all ready to help with my questions. Everything i asked him i was told to look online for.
My husband bought some things during March break. I came back to the country March 20 as a result we had to quarantine 2 weeks. Then everything was closed on lockdown, the stores that were open weren't accepting returns. When he went to return one of the items with the receipt-unopened the store wouldn't take it back. They said it had to be returned within 15 days. That would have required us returning it during quarantine and putting their staff at risk- which is apparently what they would have preferred ( if they were even open during the initial lockdown). I never checked because we couldn't go anywhere.
I don't understand why there are negative reviews for these guys. I've been in a couple of times and the service has been great. They're helpful and don't try to sell you more than you need.
They just opened today and it is pretty sweet. Everything on display, no need to wait for Amazon and they price match.
Knowledgeable, polite staff and good on-site inventory. When I need a part in a hurry to fix a computer, this is the first place I go.
Bought a few computers from this place. Was pretty happy with the service and product I received. My girlfriend and I went in to buy a computer today from them. We waited about 10 to 15 minutes to be helped. We really weren't annoyed about the waiting part but it definitely stood out, especially when we know we've been noticed and are just standing around. Besides that the guy that helped us get the computer was pretty nice and help full. I asked if the computer that we were going to buy was refurbished or new, the man said new. Which we thought was great for the price and proceeded to buy the computer. We get home, open the box and find a pretty noticeable scratch on the laptop just above the computer. My girlfriend was pretty annoyed by thay because she just spent a good amount of money on what she believed to be a "new" laptop. We kind of ignored it but as she went through the box, she noticed that the charger wasnt even in the packaging, which were clear signs that this computer was not brand new. She was annoyed about it and so I offered to call the place back to see what they could do. The person a spoke to made me feel like I was the problem, seemed annoyed about what I was saying and did not even apologize. And mind you a did not call angry or rude as I know it's not a big of a deal because we can just come in and replace the laptop as he offered. The service from the gentlemen on the phone was very unwelcoming, rude, in considerate and un proffessional. It sucks as a customer who enjoyed going to this location to receive bad customer experience the way that I did after spending a good amount of money in the store. My girlfriend and I dont even feel comfortable about going back because of the way the attitude from the gentleman on the phone was. Its poor experiences like these that lead consumers to competitors all because of a simple problem that could have been easily resolved. All it take is for one bad experience to prevent a consumer from returning.
I recently went in to buy parts for a new build and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Very informative in regards to shipments of components and which parts to use and what was on sale.
I've been here many times spent I dunno 5000 on parts but every time I go there the sales people are ignorant, lazy and talk down to you.
Always helpful and have exactly what I'm looking for
Canada Computers refused to price match the Noctua D15 CPU cooler in store. The competitors (Vuggo and Amazon) had it in stock for $110 (not even a sale price), and Canada Computers was selling it for $140. The excuse I got for not price matching was that they temporarily disabled them for the week. I have never had a problem price matching at Memory express (which is across the street), I would recommend shopping at memory express
Wow this is a great run store. I have shopped in Hamilton Burlington and Oakville locations, but the St Catherine's one is amazing.I have a feeling these guys are well trained and picked because of their quality of the work that they do.
I came in the store with my dying computer, and Bronson, one of the tech in the store gave very good advice for a new SSD for my laptop (which was apparently the issue). He offered me to replace it in store directly to make sure it works well, and everything went great! :) Thanks again man! Merry christmas to you and the team
Consulted a sales rep about a USB headset, confirmed by rep that it used USB. Bring it home, it doesn't work, and call the location to be told to bring it in for refund or exchange. Drive all the way over to be told they won't do either. Then the manager gives me a fake number for the franchise to call. Very shady don't spend your money here.
Tons of selection of parts, very knowlegable staff, but the prices are sometimes quite high like for adaptors.
Always very helpful.
In-store they're helpful and knowledgeable. Don't waste your time calling if you have a problem because they never pick up. Customer support from their local office is nonexistent. My wife had to try calling the main office for customer support and even they couldn't even get in contact with this store. Get your act together.
PHENOMENAL service from Tony, Ricky, Kristian and TREVOR! Trevor, you're a legend brother!! Thanks for all of your help and hard work, boys!! Also, they strict with the covid protocols, I felt very safe in the store.
I came to the old location a while ago. The staff were kind and quite helpful. I prefer this store over the nearby Memory Express, if only they had a price beat policy like them!
They were very helpful, and even extended a limited time offer for me. With knowledgable employees who are very kind, hands down one of the best places to find help or get opinions for your tech problems!
I don't think I'll be doing any business at Canada Computers ever again. the staff are friendly and helpful on the phone but they had no sympathy for my broken parts as if I can easily afford to replace it. I had bought a cpu from here that came faulty, I should have went straight to the supplier for help instead of wasting my time at this company (luckily amd helped me out). dont sell me a faulty cpu and refuse to take it back. buy your pc parts anywhere but here
Good products, good prices, very helpful Staff.
They have some of the best customer service I've ever encountered. My husband and I were in there on Sunday, as we needed to have a graphics card installed into his computer. Lance was not only very friendly, but incredibly knowledgeable and helped us upgrade his whole computer at a fraction of the cost. The other staff members were lovely to speak with and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you!
The only option in London if you can't wait for Internet delivery on parts. Their price match policy is not what it seems though. Call ahead if price matching
I live in Victoria on Vancouver Island, but when I buy computer parts, my go to place is Canada Computers Kingsway. I have built 2 pcs and each time Ricky has helped me and done a fantastic job. Ricky is extremely knowledgeable and nice with tons of experience. I do not mind the extra 6 hour travel time. I highly recommend CC Kingsway.
Absolutely excellent place for parts and knowledgeable staff if your not to familiar with what you require.
This happened today this morning of the RTX 3070 launch in stores. There was a line and a list of people who were in line. Our chairs were placed in line and we were waiting in our cars because it was extremely cold that morning. 3 individuals CUT to the front of the line as everyone was waiting in their cars and socially distancing. We complained to the employees but they sided with the people who cut to the front of the line! I am assuming they're friends with that employee because the employee "checked the cameras" and only saw them at the front of the line... very shady and unprofessional.
My son had to buy some new RAM for his computer people are very friendly and very knowledgeable
Best Store for GPU at this time, Ning is totally awesome.
Miserable service in Halifax. Went in, found a laptop that interested us on sale, and waited for a sales associate to be available to ask a few questions. When he finally came over, he gave us a basic rundown then someone else came in and showed interest as well. He then told my wife and I he would get us one from out back. When he finally came out, he came over and told us the display was the last one and started unhooking it. We discussed it and when he finally unhooked it all from the counter he casually told us sorry but he had already sold it to someone else. To top it all off, the supervisor on shift watched all this happen and never said a word. Wouldn't waste my time or support this buisness. Went to staples down the road and they were amazing. Plus sold a better laptop at a better price!
There is one dude at the Vancouver location that is a total ass and clearly has no customer service experience. The actual service is also painfully slow. Too many employees doing nothing but standing around. When you buy something they print a ticket then you have to wait for someone else to grab it. Dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Helpful knowledgeable staff and a great selection of technology products with very competitive prices. My go to store for tech.
A horrible store and very bad services ????????????????????????
I've been going to NCIX Vancouver for nearly all of my tech needs (that is, anything and everything that I don't have to go to an Apple store for, since I use both PCs and Macs) for several years now. They have always been knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They're easily the best retailer for computer hardware in Canada.
not very helpful
Love NCIX but not the best for browsing - better to know what you want before you go.
Would give 0 stars if possible. Store management won't stand by their own posted return policy. Exhausted my options and will be charging back my purchase through my bank.
Excellent service. Staff always courteous. I have never had a bad experience
great experience at this location, Mark, and Matt are very courteous, very knowledgeable and professional..custom built rig to my liking and a gaming laptop all recently bought.....l live elsewhere but I come down to this location. General Manager very helpful and professional as well.
Very good experience with this store, would purchase from here again! 5/5 customer service and prices! Staff knew what to recommend me for my system
Compared service and prices to thier competition across the street and found them to be better on both fronts.
They will charge you for even putting in four screws which is a minute job. No such thing as customer courtesy.
This computer shop is well stocked. It has all the latest hardware on display and excellent stock. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. The repair shop is superb. If you need hardware or your computer fixed, this is the place to go. Only downfall is the awkward parking. It is hard to get in and out of the parking lot, due to the location.
Always has what I need at great prices.
Very friendly and cooperative. But doesn't accept American Express card.
Although this store is a new location that likely hasn’t had the opportunity to be truly tested over time, my experience in both buying parts for a PC build, as well as getting it up and running went without a hitch. The technician (Barbara) even went as far as to diagnose a separate issue with my motherboard that resulted in a replacement essentially under warranty. Awesome work from very friendly staff!
Less than helpful staff. Felt like they were constantly trying to upsell on what I wanted.
Early Covid: Up sold me a surge protector with only 3/8 outlets working. Went to return it and got told they don't accept returns and to come back when everything calmed down a bit and ensured I would be allowed to return it. Come back only to be told by managers the 15 day return policy still applied. So essentially got scammed :( Employees are cool, the poor rating goes straight to the managers.
Terrible employees. Employees allowed 3 people who showed up 3 hours before opening to cut to the front of the line during the release of the 3070. Many people were waiting 14+ hours for the release of the 3070 but they concluded that "they were there first".
If I could rate them 0 stars I would. By far worst business experience I have had anywhere. So to begin with I took my pc in to see if I could upgrade it. They immediately told me to "send it to the grave" and by a new prebuilt one (obviously so they get commission). I came in again later because my pc kept turning off, they quoted me 3-5 days for a diagnosis. It took two weeks just for them to tell me that the motherboard was failing. In which time I had called them a few times asking about it, I asked for a callback 3 times and did not receive any. So finally I went in and they said oh we have to send it into the lab for further examination. Over a month later with no communication on yheir part whatsoever i just asked for my pc back to which their reply was oh it will take a week and a half to get it back. They claimed they called me when it was back (they didn't) and I had to go in a find out myself it had been sotting there for a few days. They should have been paying ME for this disservice, but instead offered me no compensation at all (not paying for the "diagnosis" would have sufficed) and didn't even complete the diagnosis after over a month. Took it to Enderdirect and they diagnosed for free and found a motherboard the first day for it. Will never go back and spreading the word, what a massive joke! They didn't even apologize or act like anything was wrong the whole time!
Unprofessional
I always have a good experience shopping here. Even when it's busy the employees will make time for you. Returns/refunds are quick and easy which is not common for computer parts. We don't have many tech stores in London but I'm glad this is one of them and I hope for more stores in the area soon.
West coast first Canada Computers. Very happy they decide to took on the business out west. I shopping here twice. These employees are ex NCIX. Canada computer has good setup just like the Toronto College street and Yonge street. Canada computers is a very stability company only draw back is ex NCIX Employees lack of knowledge of Canada computers standard and Is product. Canada computers starting off with 4 store in Toronto. I still remember at Pacific Mall Markham, ON Andy can't pronounce Plextor my friend said is sound like Petshop. I told him he is trying to say Plextor. Not petshop. Good times. Hamilton County location is not as good as the one in Toronto. Memory Express will be Head on Head with Canada Computer. Customer service is not as important. Having the Product in Stock or within a reasonable time frame is more important.
Good choice of brands
AVOID THIS STORE!!! THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO SCREW YOU OVER!!! I made a $2400 purchase at this store and wanted to return the item within the refund policy. When I tried to return it the debit machine said "EXCEEDS REFUND LIMIT" which if you do any research at all you can see that it is a Moneris error, a payment system they work with. However, the young, ignorant manager tried to blame my bank for the error, which I spent hours on the phone with my bank manager and other departments from the bank who have never heard of the error. The only thing the manager at Canada Computers would say is "it has worked in the past so it should work now". He never even looked into it after my bank called him. I don't even know how you land a manager position when you treat your customers like that. Absolutely ridiculous. Instead of taking responsibility for the situation and providing the refund in cash or check form, he just said "nothing we can do". UPDATE: I gave them the option to contact Moneris and sort the issue out, or I am disputing the charge. They called Moneris and what do you know? I was right!!! It's sad when you walk into a computer store and have to troubleshoot technical issues on your own.
Great service
Service is not good as other Canada Computer store
Did my 1st custom build PC. Was kinda apprehensive. Russell helped me every step of the way. Asked me questions to determine what I needed vs what I wanted in terms of functionality & performance. I believe Russell helped me build the best computer for my price point. I would definitely recommend to anybody looking to buy / build a PC. Best customer experience I've received for buying electronics.
The staff were super helpful! I was looking for a specific product and bought the wrong thing initially, but was able to return it for the right product. They had to look for a while to find the product as it was in their overstock, but they did! Great service. Thanks!
I recently called this Canada computers and was most importantly greeted perfectly. Even though I wasn't able to go in personally it was great to still get friendly customer service. Steven was incredibly informative and helpful in getting me the information I needed and handled my needs efficiently. Thanks again Canada Computers for helping me
Great selection process of components, service was informed and they did the custom job to my liking
I've always had great service.havent sine any major purchases...but staff is helpful.
Bought a display model Asus Notebook, Canada Computers left the password on it. I have no way to access the computer I just bought! Not looking forward to driving back across town and standing in line to get this corrected! ETA: Just called and I was given the password and i'm currently using my new computer! Works great so far!
Great place, awesome return policy and super helpful staff best place to buy pc comments in store
Great place but customer service could be better
Horrible! Do not buy items their. Tricky Manager! I tried to return item because it was defective and they told me that I will be able to return it when Government will allow them to accept returns. Came back there today and they told me that I can't return it at all. Will never buy any items from this or any other Canada Computers again!!!
Jacob helped me find a 2060 for me top notch lad
Love this store, if you are a PC enthusiast and want to build a nice rig but don't want to wait for all your parts to be shipped from Amazon and Newegg you can come here and pick them up in person for comparable prices. They also have all kinds of other tech related things like security systems, TVs, sound systems, small and large home appliances. There's just a ton of great things in this store and it's worth checking out.
I called for some advice before buying a part, to make sure it was the right one. I was put on hold for almost 20 minutes, before someone came on asking why I was on hold. They hadn't transferred the call. When I finally got through to the Service department Dan was rude and unhelpful. I called the Whitby location and had answers to my question within 5 minutes.
First off, this is the first review I have ever posted and I feel that I needed to post as one should give credit, where credit is due. I decided to invest in a gaming PC and I am very pleased with myself that I decided to get my parts from Canada Computers & Electronics. The store also price matched items that I found elsewhere. I had everything shipped to the Burnaby location as some parts that I desired were at various locations. The best part was that my parts were shipped within one day! Russell helped me out not only with ensuring that my order was correct, but also was a big help with all of my questions. Moreover, he even went out of his way to help with bringing my boxes to my vehicle - wonderful customer service! I would also like to add that although I found out after I opened my MSI motherboard, a screw had been missing from the package as the manufacturers must have forgotten to include it in. I emailed Russell and he sent me a reply (after hours!) suggesting what the next steps would be. He contacted the technician at Canada Computers, Leo, who was also very helpful, and I had a replacement screw the next day. Point is, I was not left in the dark after purchasing my equipment! Thank you again for your patience, great service, and honesty! I will definatley be returning in the future for further purchases and recommending this store to both family and friends. Cheers!
Okay service. Best if you come there knowing what you want. Order online before you curbside pick up. Double check to make sure your laptop isn't opened already before you buy.
Ordered few hundred dollars worth of components over the black friday weekend. The website clearly stated a guarantee that you purchase will be processed and shipped within 24 hours of the purchase confirmation. Almost a full week later, …
Thank you so much for referring me to Data Recovery Group for my dropped hard drive. My hard drive was recovered and I'm so happy with there service. Thank you once again.
I visited here to use my points before they expired. I had ordered a USB hub and it arrived in a timely manner and I only had to wait for the person already at the checkout to be served. A quick glance of the store seems to be just a few customers in the evening.
Great store. Keep your receipt for returns. They insist that they cannot return goods that have had cables/wires inside box opened. Twice I've purchased items here that had cables or missing parts in boxes. Luckily I discovered this the same day and returned with no hassle.
Amazing service from James highly recommended!
Regular customer for the last 5 years.. Recently bought 2 Acer 32" gaming monitors.. One received as broken as seen in the pics. Didn't receive any replacement or refund.. lost $451 for their own mistake.. No more purchase from Canada Computers.. Moving to Amazon or any other sellers who takes responsibility for their products..
Ordered a PC from them. Took them two weeks to assemble. When arrived, the front cover of the case was partially detached. I had to use a plier to deform its hook to be able to snap it back in. I turn on the PC, I get a couple of restarts before boot (odd!!). Then the system boots and I install windows and drivers. Everything seemed fine. I turn off the computer. After a couple of hours I go back and turn on the computer, I realize that the computer keeps restarting before POST. I power cycle it. After a few tries, the computer doesn't even restart anymore and freezes before the POST. Tried everything I could, replaced power supply, RAM, bios reset, etc to see what's the problem but couldn't figure it out. I took it back to NCIX, they asked me to wait another week for the RMA to go through. This has been very frustrating for me; kind of disappointing that a new system arrives in that condition!! and I still have to wait another week for them to fix the computer!!! I give them 2 starts because of the friendly salesperson. My advice, before you go to NCIX, do your research. There are PLENTY of options for buying PC components, especially if you want to assemble it yourself!!
Don't ever come to this place to fix your computer, it's extremely inefficient and expensive, it takes them 7 days to transfer 150GB files, you need to call constantly to make sure the progress is made, no one will contact you after they finish the work.
Received computer from Toronto, had issues they couldn’t resolve over the phone, was advised to send computer back, been 6 weeks since I sent the computer, no full refund that they promised, and they never pick up their phone during their office hours.
I decided to build a PC for the first in a while and needed help with compatibility questions, they built a quote on a budget and answered a ton of questions. The service is great
Great place for parts and accessories. Staff very knowledgeable, and will walk you through your computer building needs.
Great price on Acer Gaming Computer for my son (right after Black Friday). I have had a couple of negative experience in the past but they always seem to make it right...great place to make sure my son is looked after...
I purchased two of the same USB thumb drive memory sticks back in September and when I took one out of the package yesterday I discovered it had a tiny connector (not visible as it was hidden in the dust cover in the sealed package and on their website pictures) instead of the usual standard sized USB connector. Upon calling them by phone at 10:05 am, Monday, Jan 3, 2022 and speaking to a sales rep asking if I can exchange them for the proper one, he said no as it has been almost half a year. Walmart and Costco have better customer service. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.
I dont mind lack of fluff and not bombarding customers with fake smiles and greetings, but the employees are pretty socially inept, which you might expect from a computer parts store. Never any good advice or assistance, never any recommendations. Employees seem really powerless and scared to make difinitie statements, might be management issue. If you can go somewhere else, do it.
A hundred times more knowledgeable than the geek squad, Hudson went out of his way to find things out and get a missing part for me.
The guy helping us was great, found the products we were looking for in our price range, will definitely return here.
Their website gave a 1 day delivery timeline for store pickup but after 4 days I called their customer service line, waited on hold for 25 minutes only to find out that the item was out of stock and they didn't expect delivery for weeks. Their rep was rude and unapologetic. It's now been 5 days and and I haven't received my refund yet.
Employees seemed like they didn't want to be there, or inexperienced The manager/supervisor was amazing though
XXXXX Hit seven months now of waiting for my 3080, and when i contact customer support they tell me my order was cancelled. The store didn't email me, or call me, nothing. I ONLY found out because I emailed demanding an update. AND they so far refuse to give me my money back for the card. or reply to emails. TAKING MONEY AND NOT DELIVERING LIKE THIS IS FARUDXXXXX Ordered a 3080 in November and was told 4-6 weeks, heard nothing and decided to call them... in December. got told i should never have been given a timeline and that i need to wait, nothing else. called in February and was told i was first on the list when they came in and it should be another week as per shipping form... called once or twice a month since then to get the same responses, either no answer or told to wait or get a refund. emailed customer service numerous time and was simply told to call the store, but they are sorry it hasn't come in and that everyone is in the same boat. Now i look on the website to find the card i ordered isn't even listed anymore and that a number of other cards are only 3-5 weeks wait time from an order today. most of them refuse to help if they can at all avoid it, they don't seem to care once they have the money, and whoever i talked to was either incompetent or outright saying whatever they thought would get me to go away. few have even bothered trying to give me information and have come back to tell me the computer gives them no information but that the items are "in transit" to somewhere.
Staff were quick and courteous, in and out in under 10 minutes.
My brother is still out 1000 for as they say a online special order. Monday we will be contacting the BBB. So much for consumer protection .
Very friendly helpful staff good prices
Inventory was a sparse and the staff were more interested in their new years plans than engaging with the customer. I wouldn't be back at this location unless absolutely necessary.
No body could diagnose my computer properly, I brought it here and they were able to help me and fix the problem. Thank you to the staff who were very helpful.
Brought in our old computer, service determined that the motherboard was finished. Came in following week with my son who is a gamer and had a list in order to build a new one. Staff was incredible at outlining all the pros and cons of each component and made great recommendations. Service built the computer and my son loves it. Have been there in the past and will continue to do so-highly recommend.
They have a great selection of hardware if you are looking to build a PC yourself. However, parts are often sold out and you have to hunt for sales if you want a good deal.
Staff not at all friendly and polite. I purchased an item worth 2K and the guy at the billing showed an attitude as if I am getting a $1 iced coffee. ( no offence to iced coffee) I had to ask for the invoice and warranty. The customer service over phone is terrible. Will get multiple responses each time, with an excuse that the staff are new and on training.
To respective store owner[s]/Managers/Potential Clients: I normally do not post reviews, or have time to learn all of the computer jargon, and keep up to date to everything technical. However, I feel like it is imperative that i take the time to write a review about my customer experience i had on the phone with NCIX. I initially called the Surrey location, and it re-routed me over to Vancouver. I had the pleasant opportunity to talk to Russell Vo (Service Rep at the Vancouver Store). Russell Delivered the best customer service that I've experienced in a very long time. I shop around all the time, and have not received close to the service he has provided. He was extremely funny, professional and very informative when answering my barrage of questions. He did all of this in a respectable time frame and even got my product "lit" up within budget. He kept me updated along the way, and ensured satisfaction. Russell deserves a recognition for the fantastic service, and thank you NCIX for assisting. Best,
The staff were super friendly. They always knew what they were talking about, knew about the products and where everything is. They were pretty funny too :). The store itself is very clean and organized. They have all the best products and almost always the product that you are looking for. I would 110% recommend this store to everyone.
Manager should be fired, no sense of customer service. I guess they hire what ever they can get do to covid. Another local store lost to amazon.
Very knowledgeable and helpful.
The staff here are very knowledgeable and was very friendly. Tony and Kristian (not sure if I spelt this right) was very helpful with all the questions I had about the gaming computer I bought.
Pretty sick place, everything you could ever need for electronics. Reminds me of the old radio shack but beefed up.
Friendly customer service but lack of inventory.
One of the worst business during this strange GPU shortage time. I’ve been living in Manitoba since July 2020 and the last time I’ve made a purchase at Canada Computers London was a power cable back in June 2020. A while ago when I returned to London, I went to this place looking to buy a new GPU. On the phone the guy is very rude and yelling to me that “your account has already purchased so many cards, don’t ever call back again.” Take a guess who can get access to my personal account other than me? If that’s the way to keep you stay in the business then good luck! Customers think about this before you making any purchases, there are other places offering honesty and keeps your privacy.
Sage found and returned my lost wallet! Above and beyond customer service!
Oh my how this store is loaded. There is not much walking room in the store and for those who are looking for computer supplies this is definitely the place to be. I found the staff a little short with my inexperienced questions about computers. Hey guys customers have to begin somewhere
Was helped by Bronson. Very friendly and gave me some helpful tips. Didn't find everything I was looking for, but the prices were good on what I did purchase.
Super great staff! Friendly and knowledgeable.
Staff are incredibly unhelpful and want nothing to do with you after you've paid.
The team at the canada computers in oshawa was great. I had to come in with my son to get his pc fixed. One of the gentlemen working in the service department (sorry, didnt catch his name!), was amazing. He was patient, provided great advice and amazing customer service! Thank you so much!
Get all my printer ink here!
Great store. Super helpful staff
Price seems to high .. but if you are in a harry and can't wait for amazon delivery.. then I guess you can find good range of electronic items here.
I had a complicated problem with my comp that required a lot of patience and trouble shooting. Mike was great and took the time to make sure my rig was working again. He kept me in the loop and got it done fast. I really appreciated it! Thanks!
Convenient, friendly and lots of stock. Always been a good experience with Canada Computers. I'm usually in and out because they always have what I need.
I have had nothing but positive transactions at this location. I made a $700 purchase just before Covid lockdown. I called the store a few times and Michael assured me that he would accept the return as soon as he could. It took a while because of Covid measures but sure enough, I went there and he refunded me without question. I just recently called and was lucky enough to talk to Mike again. My friend and I were looking for specific EVGA 3070 video cards. There was a short list for those cards because other people prefer Asus, MSI, Zotac. Mike came through as he always seems to do. Seriously man, thanks a lot for everything you have done. I can finally complete my build. I wouldn't shop anywhere else.
Best place for PC parts and other electronics and tools. A big THANK YOU to the amazing staff for their awesome service!!
My first choice for any computer needs Good service and decent price
Helpful and knowledgeable staff, great service!
Unless this company decides to place some value on the consumer, it will quickly become another casualty of Amazon. Their return policy is unrealistic and not applied with common sense. The manager, Dan's response when I asked about it was "Don't ask me, I just work here". I recommend you try everywhere else first.
Friendly, helpful and most important - knowledgeable staff.
Very knowledgeable staff. They helped me re-claim data from a corrupted backup drive that contained 20 years worth of research. Now I have 3 back-up drives to try and avert the same disaster.
I love Canada Computers. But not the store at this location. Manager don't care much for your business. Wanted to price match a Go Pro for $329. Canada Computers selling it for $399. Canada Computers Price match policy guarantees a price match in this situation. However, the manager at this location denied me a price match. Went to Henry's and bought it for $329. Also purchased a lot of accessories for it. And they gave me a free handheld monopod for it. But manager at Canada Computers denied me because he said $329 for the camera was below cost. But thanks for sending me to Henry's. They gave a way better deal anyway. Then, I later noticed that even Walmart had it on for $329. Sorry, Canada Computers St. Catharines. You LOST, and continue to lose. Congratulations Henry's for being so good to me. And kudos to Walmart for offering the same camera that Canada Computers has for a lot less. Bottom line, Canada Computers is an awesome store. I've done a lot of shopping at other locations. But the staff at this location are much to be desired! Shop elsewhere if you can.
I truly like to shop local but this is a store that will send you looking on line. Customer service is almost none!!! Staff stand talking and talking and talking... Or simply pass you by with a very important piece of paper in their hand. Web site in stock numbers are incorrect. Have had my last frustrating visit to this place for the last time. Helllo Amazon! At least my waiting is comfortable at home with a good cup of coffee... I do not recommend this mess!!
The employees don't know anything about computers.
Super knowledgable and nice staff that helped me a lot with my first build. Best prices around.
Staff are friendly but highly unprofessional. It's a decent place to pick up parts if you know exactly what you want. Otherwise, don't ever take their product recommendations. While I was browsing the store, I overheard one of the staff say that the only reason he was selling gigabyte products was because of some contest, otherwise he would never touch them with a ten foot pole. If your implying the products are trash, maybe don't recommend them to your customers?
Curb side pick up. My number one resource for all things electronic & computer. Online. Awesome technical service. Now more essential to our lives. Thank you Canada Computers.
I needed to hardwire a number of devices for my home network. I had no idea where to start and what product to buy based on my needs. One staff was very patient and helpful with me. He walked me through the different possible setups. We eventually agreed on an unmanaged network. The setup was easy and I've been problem free for over a year.
Purchased a prebuilt computer, got it home and connected it to the monitor and it would not display a picture, tried a second monitor and it still would not connect. Tested both monitors on my old PC and they work. Tried calling them but they do not answer their phones, contacted other locations and they advised that I bring it back to the store. I got back to the store within an hour of purchasing and they were not willing to do a straight exchange or refund for the faulty product. The employee who I assume was the manager spoke to me in a very condescending tone and acted as if I did not know what I was doing. He then advised me that they would hold my newly purchased PC for 72hrs before they could get a tech to look at it (due to covid-19). Which I understand however, they could accept the faulty product and provide an exchange then hold that as necessary and do their inspections when it was safe to do so. They now have my $1600 and the PC and they did not provide me with anything to show that they took it back for repairs. Overall it was terrible customer service and I will not be returning to this location once this has been resolved.
Like all pandemic protocols, a bit of a wait initially but once you start to get served it was fast and efficient. Some products very well priced. Quite Happy.
Very helpfull.
Good prices and they match other stores but if you dont buy their extended warranty good luck getting warranties through them this goes for most electronic products and i mean the branded ones such as ASUS or Logitec. Plus side is many electronics are cheap so they sell you another one anyways I guess you get what you pay for.
As many of the reviews here state, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Can take quite a while to get any attention from their staff. I've consistently felt like an inconvenience when I have questions, and often get very vague or incomplete responses. One time, I even made it clear to the staff member that I was looking to make a significant purchase that day (in hopes of them being more engaged), and did not notice much improvement. To be fair, once I'm able to make a selection, and it's usually in stock at a competitive price. I've purchased two full towers here, as well as various networking and audio equipment over the years. If there was another store around that offered their selection, I would certainly prefer to go there. Bottom line, do your homework before you go in! The staff, if you're able to talk to them in the first place, can really only be relied upon to know what's on sale.
Great selection of components on hand. And the prices are better than most places, but the parking stinks.
Was there today with my daughter. She is attempting to build her first PC and Aaron was super helpful and knowledgeable. He gave my daughter great feedback to the parts she needs and awesome advice!???? Thanks Aaron for being honest with my kid!
I had unique experience with Canadian computers overall extremely impressed with there customer service very satisfied
Lots of product selection and knowledgeable staff to assist.
The start of my purchase was quite enjoyable as I was assisted by a gentleman by the name of Robinson. He was genuinely interested in helping us build 2 custom pc's and was very knowledgeable in answering all of our questions. I was in the market for a new GPU and wanted to explore the possibilities of purchasing one. During our visit to the store, we found out that you can only purchase a GPU in a bundle with other items such as Monitors, Processors etc. We were also informed that there is special inventory for custom built pc's allowing us the opportunity to pick & choose the parts we wanted as long as we paid the labour to build it. Not at all my intention at the time of my visit but I was extremely excited and built my dream PC from top to bottom. Up until this point I was extremely happy with how everything went. It's the follow up customer service that has been extremely disappointing and taken this from a very good experience to a poor one. I contacted them for an update and was informed the parts hadn't arrived yet, no problem. Next day, I followed up to find out the parts had arrived but they hadn't started working on it yet, no problem. They have now been "working" on my build for about 8 hours and when asked if it would be ready on my way home as their location is out of the way but I drive past it on my way home, I was met with a blanket answer of "We will call you when its ready". I was offered this same answer multiple times by the service center and the manager on duty. Should someone have given me an actual time frame, I would have been more than okay waiting but the fact they won't shows complete neglect for customer service.
Good service, slightly cramped for space though so it can be kinda hectic when the store is busy
I came in looking for a specific product, the staff didn't bother showing me where it is, just gave me a general direction. while I was still browsing, the store staff just gathered around the checkout counter and started trashtalking what sounds to me a less knowledgeable customer, and called them dumb for their choice of computer parts. There was also so much profanity between the staff it was unbelievable. I've never witnessed such unprofessionalism and I am never returning to this location.
Staff was friendly, professional, had what I needed when it was my turn to get it with very little wait time. This was my first experience at pick-up as I usually order online for shipping as I live over an hour away in Peterborough - but it was worth the drive to get the parts I needed; just a shame I need to wait a bit longer for life to return to normal in hopes to tour an actual store front. Thanks again!
I guess I'm. To White to get service here was asking about a Mic mixer
Great resource for computer and server hardware. Prices are good but often beatable on Amazon.
Good service, knowledgeable employees, and neatly organised. Price match with ME was pretty easy as well. Most of my tech shopping will be done here.
Was excited to go to this location to get help from this "Michael" I had heard about on the reviews, unfortunately when I arrived to this location, Michael was just a greeter. He welcomed me and directed me to a tech at the back of the store. Once back there I was surrounded by 7 guys who clearly needed much more work to do, and I told the tech what I was looking for (a computer between 1000$-1350$). Right off the bat the tall skinny guy to my left cracks a joke about how I wouldn't get much out of a 1300$ computer these days, while the actual tech (very large gentlemen with face shield and beard) claims he has nothing for that price range, he has nothing similar anywhere else, and he cant help me find anything at another store, he said there is nothing we can do for you within your budget. Wow. He then suggested Kijiji.. I disagreed heavily, and was disgusted by his recommendation..and so were the other techs apparently. I finally left and went to the Whitby location where the employees were incredibly nice and helpful (and actually quite intelligent when talking about computers), and I got a computer! I am 100% satisfied, I came in under budget, and my computer is 10X faster than I expected. Boy what a DUMP this Oshawa location is in comparison.. DO NOT bring your daughter or son here for back to school shopping, Michael and his tech at the back of the store were not helpful and you WILL NOT have a great experience. Sorry but it's just true. Look at reviewers : Legendracula : Jhun h : Atchchuthan Sivabalasundaram These are legit reviewers
I've had two separate and exceptional experiences with the repair team at this location. Most recently they were able to repair an issue within 10 minutes that I had tried troubleshooting for more than an hour. I've experienced courteous, friendly and fast service whenever dealing with them. Recommended!
Lotsa selection
Terrible service, manager was awful to us they sent us home with a power supply that nearly went up in flames, then told us they couldnt do anything and to pay for a new one! awful treatment of customers I would rather waste the time and build it myself from now on order your parts and build your own!
Only picked up a couple of things. Friendly staff helped out quickly and even had ideas when my plans didn't work out.
You guys were great! I called to make sure what I wanted was there. Caleb was friendly and professional on the phone. I ordered what I needed online, had a notice within minutes that it was ready and got there to pick it up less than half an hour later. Despite COVID and its restrictions you made it a good experience. Thank you!
friendly staff, but they need more checkout stations
Friendly knowledgeable staff that can keep up with nerdiness about minute spec differences and compatability
Should be zero stars on this visit. Drove 40 mins to be at door at sharp 7pm for one item pickup order, and got shut out with Manager excuse.
I called to ask about a computer with specifics to purchase. I was told he can not spend the time on the phone to do this and to email them. My hard earned money now goes to a company that wants to take 5 mins on the phone and sell me . Curbside pick up was the lame excuse he used to not answer my questions. Heads up for those who are looking for good customer service.
The manager (forget his name) sorry, and James are amazing, knowledgeable. The rest of the crew is great too. Amazing experience every time
Had a lot of questions and the gentleman that helped me was super patient and helpful. Pretty stoked about my new gaming laptop. Thanks guyssss!
Staff are knowledgeable and quick to assist
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. They had the component I needed and the price was decent too
Everything computer
Really solid staff always willing to help, don't just push most expensive product. They work with you to get best bang for buck.
I've been the kid in the candy store before so trust me when I say this place is way better
Great location but constantly acknowledged like you used to get at Futureshop. I suggest ensure all of your items on the shelves have proper tags / pricing. As a regular online shopper, I am reminded of why I shop online!!!
People don't like their return policy... But think about the electronic world and how fast things get outdated. Best Buy had problems, other computer stores have failed, so maybe it's not a bad thing. I purchase from here 95+ percent of the time, its local, do your research before just plopping down cash then returning the item 2 weeks later. Let's keep this store in business.
It's a computer store like any other and I've purchased most of my computers and accessories from here over the last few years. However, what confounds me is the prices are the same/ similar to everywhere else but there is no refunds, just exchange for same product so why buy from here when i can buy it everywhere else for same/similar price including a refund for any reason i choose? For this reason alone I promise I won't ever shop here again :), Bye.
The staff is really helpful. They not only took the time to help me build my computer but a whole year has gone by and the manager was helping me optimize my drivers to make it run faster when I was having trouble. He took his time with me …
Was such an easy and enjoyable experience thanks to Jacob, took care of everything I needed and made it a fun time while doing it, would definitely recommend! Thanks Jacob !
Worst store ive ever been to, never built a computer in my life and I didn't know about some stuff that these people don't tell you about returning items, and immediately denied return because of a cap for a item, rude, unprofessional and flung around the returned items shows how much they take care of there used products, employees name was Dan! The whitby store has better manners and employees then this place.
These guys are really good. Every time I'm in there they're very helpful. Good job guys! Thanks for being patient with those of us who are not so computer literate
Had a laptop repaired. They were quicker than they quoted. Price was reasonable
Knowledgeable ppl, great customer service and the prices were surprisingly very good.
Ive been to this store many times.. much better than best buy.. Miles better even. Any PC part you could possibly want.. the staff are incredibly helpful except maybe one or two people.. Ive been abandoned a few times by the smaller Alex guy on different visits to the store.. I have also noticed this person sitting numerous times and on his phone every time I go there.. I guess the management doesnt care much.. but the others wouldnt seem to dare sit or be on their phone when customers are in the store. Anyway I digress.. This is a great store.. id give it a 5 star if it werent for the bad handful of interactions Ive had with this one employee.
Always a great choice when I need cables and computer components. Also they have a wide variety of electronic devices from wifi extenders to curved monitors to laptops and gaming systems. They also have tech services if you need help with computer issues. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help.
Awesome place for all the geek things you need!
Came in for a gaming monitor for my husband. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a staff member who offered to help us. We told him the exact model we were looking for and he was able to locate it in 1 second. He rang us through and the trip was quick and breezy and we walked out with the exact product we wanted without any fuss or hassle. We walked in at about 7pm on a Wednesday evening and it was great to have a staff member be readily available to help us as soon as we walked in. The website is very up to date on the stock of specific items so that you know the store you're visiting has what you want. This is great as we went out of our way to this specific store to get this specific monitor because the website said it was in stock at this location. Very happy with our trip to this store.
As it us in the grey lockdown zone, you order online and pickup at store. Follows all social distancing protocols: 2 meters apart in line, must wear masks... very efficient point of sale in store. Short lineup outside and very quick to fulfill your sale and process it.
Excellent knowledge and fixed my issues. Recommend this store!

This is a pretty good place to buy computer parts in the Waterloo region. The prices are pretty competitive with online shopping and of course, you have the advantage of being there in person. They price match against physical stores. Be sure to pay close attention to their sales when they have them. Parking can be a bit of a pain during high traffic times and because it is along the side of the building. The staff appear to be pretty knowledgeable and many are computer enthusiasts themselves, which really helps. They don't seem to be under intense pressure to sell, which is great. One thing I do wish is that they were open a bit later and that parking was easier during the peak times. Overall, I would recommend Canada Computers as a place to purchase. This is among the top places to get computer components in the Waterloo area.
Lance and his colleages are very knowledgeful and helpful. Lance fixed my laptop's display within 10 minutes,he is best technician.
Awesome service, helpful as always. Prices for most parts are better then anywhere else. Usually beating Amazon, Newegg, Memory Express and best buy. The people at the St Catharines store have always been helpful and its become a second home for me there haha. I recommend canada computers to anyone that asks
CC has been a trusted store for all my electronic purchases in the past, until COVID19 situation. They are plainly abusing this situation: Firstly, they do not honor their Price Match policy, they have suspended it, although that is not specified on their site. Second, they actually increased the prices on Ryzen processor while kept the discount. Why raise the price by the amount of discount if you can just remove the discount to get the product to the desired price? Thirdly, their return policy is ridiculous. Respectable companies like Best Buy extended their return policy on unopened products due to Covid-19 while Canada Computers completely cancelled it. So what if you bought a wrong item or if we packed your order incorrectly? You cannot return it!.....I never thought it would come to this - but I will rather shop on NewEgg, Amazon and even Best Buy, than buy anything from predatory company who abuses the virus situation with raising prices, cancelling their price match policies without notice, and suspending returns of products which goes against Consumer Act. None of the competitors go to the same measures.
I purchased an external DVD drive from the W. Broadway store. When I got home, I had some problem with it. Went back and had the GREAT SATISFACTION of having Leo and Neeraj completely take care of my two problems. They were amazingly knowledgeable, extremely nice and I had the great sense that they really felt good about helping me with my problem. I asked who their boss was, and they give me Sean Lee's phone number, calling to to tell him of my great satisfaction and appreciation of dealing with these 2 fine young men. I can't thank both of them enough. Andy Krieger Vancouver (Kitsilano area)
The staff were very helpful and helped me pick out a great budget computer case.
All kinds of shady stuff going on here. Avoid this company if you can.
As always I’ve had another great experience! I believe Aaron assisted me this afternoon with my purchase of a gaming pc. He showed me the options in store for the price limit I had and gave me his honest opinion. Didn’t feel rushed but he was there whenever I had a question. At the end of the day I walked out happy and now I’m enjoying a fantastic PC that’s exactly what I needed! Thank you all!
Vlad answered all my keyboard questions, great guy
Very poor selection and no attention payed to customer security. Monitors with customer information is left open and alone for anyone to see. Didn’t gett a single hello or how may I help you. Don’t leave your computer here unless you’re cool with literally anyone being able to access it
I purchased a memory for a laptop open it I try to returned it in less than 1 hour with the original packaging and receipt THEY DON'T ACCEPT RETURNS ONCE THE PACKAGE IS OPEN I used to be a big fan of Canada Computer store's WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN
Extremely rude staff, do not go to this location
3 stars for great products and prices. Some attendants were actually of great help due to the fact that I am not the most literate when it comes to tech devices. As per reviews below, yes, some of employees have 'the attitude' but you just have to shake it out of them, ignore their attitude and focus on what you are purchasing.
Hudson is the best sales person I've ever dealt with. Knowledgeable and a straight shooter finding us the best deals. Excellent.
Unbelievable variety of components for your PC .. a builder's paradise
Ordered online, had a notification that my order was ready for pickup within a 1/2 hour. Quick service at the store.
this place is the worst! they never answer their phones! they are super rude in person! it's like they hate every customer and i'm just trying to buy their stuff like why are you so angry BUY FROM MEMORY EXPRESS! I ENDED UP GOING THERE AND THEY ACTUALLY PICK UP THE PHONE! WHAT A NOVEL IDEA!
Good deal for computer stuff
Friendly and helpful staff. Unbeatable pricing, better than many online options eg amazon and Newegg. Please continue to support one of the few computer hardware stores remaining in Canada.
Helpful staff good selection.
Nice store, staff is helpful. Store is smaller than one in my neighborhood. Selection is good and pricing is fair
Great after sales service. Had an issue with my purchase. It was a bit damaged but after dealing with their manager Brandon. It was resolved promptly. He did his best to make sure that i would get what i needed and made sure that the initial issue was resolved. Great service and support. I've been buying from here and will keep buying here.
I had previously left a bad review on the old location near the pen center, but since this store has moved it has become much nicer. New employees are much more helpful and educated, massive improvement in customer service.
How are they VERY tricky? You say yourself you understand the policy CLEARLY states "all original items and packaging. You say you are missing 2 screws. you expect them to take it back and what? sell it to someone else saying sorry its missing screws? Don't lose stuff and retailers take it back that's how it works. Mathew Newcombe 8 reviews 3 months ago Be careful, they are very tricky with their return policy. Even when the cashier tells you they are easy going, don't believe them. Also refused a return because I was missing 2 tiny screws that I never used. I understand the policy states clearly all original items and packaging but this is just one more reason to shop at amazon.
Overpriced half the stuff is mispriced We went in to buy a gaming chair for Sun The lady was helping us we wanted to buy one that was more expensive but they didn't have it in stock So we settled on the one that was priced 199 and she helped us pull it out And help us bring it up to the cash probably for her Commission We get to the cash she scanned it and the price is almost $400 even though the price tag on the display said 199 They won't honour their mistakes there's no price guarantee or scanner practice code it wasn't the only thing that was mislabeled We have no idea what's a good gaming chair The one we wanted because it felt comfortable and had good back support they didn't have it was 249 The second one that was priced 199 was almost as comfortable so we thought She even confirmed before bringing it to the cash it was 199 So will never go there again it's not worth it
Best computer store in town by a mile and with NCIX being a disaster now this is the best solution. Good selection in store competitive pricing and Weekly deals as well as staff that will help and return policies that make sense.
Good place. Went in looking for a networking item and the guy that helped me knew what he was talking about and also got me into a better product than I thought I needed. Made sure that it was right for my needs and bought it. Even reassured me that if I got it home and it didn't do what I needed then I had 2 weeks to bring it back. I highly recommend this place.
The service here was fast, friendly and it followed the health guidelines for preventing covid spread. I will absolutely comeback
Extremely disapointed with the staff and the very slow service I recived. The wait for help is not good. However I there defence it was hard when others were really taking g up there time with trivial questions. Dont get me wrong I do shop there all the time. I go in i get what want and get out. Just dont like the overall atmosphere
Bought a power supply for my desktop computer. The sales associate showed me some models & explained which was the better one for my price range and computer model. He was very helpful & appeared knowledgeable & took his time to explain its features. In the future I thought I will go here as my first stop when shopping for computers & related components/accessories. I thought just maybe here they could have more expertise than either Best Buy & Visions & Staples in the computer business. I still wish I had bought my laptop here instead of Visions. Maybe they aren't so knowledgeable after all. When my friend tried to install the power supply, it was too large to fit in the case and the connectors couldn't fit into the slots. The power supply suggested by the sales associate was for a regular tower but my computer has a mini tower. The sales associate wasn't experienced or knowledgeable enough to know that so now I have to return it. Perhaps in the end these days it doesn't matter anymore where you go. There is a general lack of knowledge and experience everywhere about what they sell. Looks like you have to know exactly what you need before you go to buy what you need.
I recently purchased a custom computer from Canada Computers Inc. in Oshawa Ontario. Wanting a specific graphics card for my computer’s build, I pre-ordered the component months in advance. When it arrived at the store, Canada Computers notified me by phone and email. Arriving at the store I was impressed that the sales person I spoke to differed me to Mike. He studied my list of the other components for my “build” was informed me that they were drastically out of date. Mike was able to discern the type of computer I wanted to build and in a professional manner showed me my options, thoroughly explaining compatibility issues, pros & cons, best “bang for my buck”, and personal recommendations. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and his sales manner. I believe it was Mike who actually build the computer but I want to offer a shout out the lady behind the service desk (sorry, didn’t catch her name) who happily demonstrated how impressive the fully assembled computer was when turned on. I would highly recommend Canada Computers Inc. Oshawa for any and all of your computer needs. The staff are knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and friendly.
A great variety of electronics and acceptable prices. The staff are present and helpful they can give insights into differences between products. I recommend this store, prices for some SSDs were comparable to those on Amazon. Encolsures can be found at around 10 bucks which is excellent IMHO.
The store had a good price for the product I wanted but getting service that with sincere was a bit of a stretch. It was almost as though he was disappointed I knew what I wanted and the sales rep couldn't upsell me. The girl at the checkout was far more helpful as was the guy who actually went and got my laptop and did the walk-through with me when we open the box
Nice store and friendly staff. This isn’t my local Canada Computers but I had to drive here (1h45m one way) to pickup an in-store only bundle. I called ahead to confirm the parts were available and a very helpful staff member, TJ, made sure everything was good to go before my long drive. I wish my local store had such personable and helpful staff!
Sales staff were Great
Really terrible system used during the pandemic. Waited for 20 minutes to return a mouse
Bronson! Your exceptional next to none customer service has successfully refreshed my lowest expectation of what worst service can be. If you want to sell a 5.4k bundle pc say it out loud. If you are not happy with my pc build because you are not making enough money, say it out loud. Why are you lying about canada computer regulations on how they sell their product, why are other cc locations doing differently and you act surprised. I was willing to pay what you were upselling, accepting every regulation you have made up just because I wanted to get it over with and yet at the very last you still try to hold me off for two weeks for assembling??? You have all the item INSTOCK! Even when I clearly told you I am willing to pay your assembling fee but I will take the parts TODAY and assemble myself and you told me to pound sand and buy somewhere else???? Lol???? I guess I will.
I was a loyal customer having spent about 4k here within the past year. But I have now had 2 SSD cards sold by them blue screen my computer and erase all data off of them. I paid the first time to have them diagnose it and hopefully get my data back off. no luck there and about $100 down the drain. I was also told that what happened was a 1/1,000,000 chance, yet it happened twice. They refuse to take any responsibility for the merchandise they sell, they are not helpful what so ever with resolving the issue, and l they make you feel like your disturbing them when you come in with issues. I come to Canada Computers because they are supposedly the best when it comes to Computer help.... been proven wrong. Sales staff is great, never seen worse, more disrespectful, unhelpful workers in my life for the ones working behind the customer service desk. if you wont take responsibility for your products what so ever, then at least help the customer solve the issue, especially if they are paying money for the help after already buying the product.
I admire the patience of the employees at this store, I've been calling the store multiple times a day desperately trying to get my hands on a 30 series card. They are always happy to give me whatever info/updates they can despite the mass shortages. I can imagine how annoying it must be to answer the same question over and over. Was finally able to score a 3090 the other day. Not my first choice but better than paying a scalper the same price for a 3080. Good luck to everyone in the same boat.
One of the worst customer service experiences ever. I bought a bunch of new parts from them and there was a missing item in my order. To reach the store there are 3 options. You can go there where you will wait an hour outside before going in. You can send an email which I tried and never got a response. Or call where they've only answered my call once out of the 10 or so times I called. The time they answered the phone and I told them about the missing item, they told me they don't handle those issues in store and I had to call the head office. Fair enough I thought and I tried to contact the head office. I first tried calling and got greeted by an automated system which once I selected the department told me "we are too busy to take your call right now” and hung up. I tried calling about 6 times over the course of 2 weeks with the same result every time. I also tried sending them an email. I got no response from any of the 3 emails I sent. My issue hasn't been resolved and frankly, I don't want to support a company that is too busy to offer any sort of customer service. After the Christmas rush, I will be going back and getting a refund. I'd advise you shop somewhere else. There are other computer stores that aren't too busy to answer an email when you have an issue.
Prices are good and staff is very helpful.
Very good staff
No service quality here, no phone call whatsoever, took two months to solve ONE problem.
Really only place here in Halifax with a wide selection of electronic's in stock
Selection is decent and prices are okay, but staff are totally mixed. I had a computer custom built and it was built quite quickly, and the staff member who took my order and helped me select parts was helpful and friendly. The problems came when I had issues with my equipment. The speakers that I bought were under the exchange period but they had a factory defect. The employee fought with me a bit when I tried to explain i just needed to return the defective speaker. I didn't care about getting money or better speakers, just a replacement for the ones I already had. I was able to get it eventually. I asked for the OS to be installed before I bought the computer and it never was, as well. The staff at the checkout counter are hit or miss, usually a bit apathetic it seems.
The shop tried to sell me used (several clear signs of that) video card while new one was listed, ordered and paid for. Tried to convince me that I opened the box and now it's final sale, even though I bought it a minute ago; that was frustrating. After further arguing was able to return it. Certainly didn't worth driving here for 100km+. Looks like a bit odd experience with Canada Computers, usually it is better in GTA.
Good selection of parts and components, staff usually seems to know what they are talking about. Good prices! I've gotten several custom system built by them as the prices for the completed system are good, and they offer a warranty on the build. In years gone by, I used to enjoy putting together my own machines, but nowadays I guess I'm getting lazy in my old age. But Canada Computer allows me a fair bit of options for putting one together. For example, I don't have to waste any money buying Windows unlike other computers from big box stores, as I been using Linux exclusively for decades. Can be quite busy at times, and parking can sometimes be a difficult. Checkout can also be slow at times, again due to volume.
abs negative experience. ordered a few components online more than one month ago, still waiting. Even eBay is faster. Went to local store to get help - just was bounced. The phone support line is joke - you getting robot saying "leave a message" and then it hangs up the phone immediately, you even can't leave a message. For this moment I feel myself robbed for $350. Filed complaint to Consumer Protection BC.
Place is great! They ACTUALLY hold the modern products people NEED! Plus they have better hours and customer service than Best Buy! Not to mention, CANADIAN!!!
Avoid Best Buy. Better prices here and much more knowledgeable staff as well about products and compatibility. You won't have a blue shirt here trying to sell you a 100 dollar hdmi "monster" cable or a 300 dollar anti virus with your new windows 10/defender laptop. Better selection of products when it comes to computer hardware as well and staff actually knows their stuff on products where Best Buy Blue shirts won't know difference between Intel and AMD. They probably only ever heard of Apple.
Excellent price and selections
Awesome place to have yoour laptop serviced. Bought my current laptop from Canada Computers in Whiby, brought it to the oshaw location for service as it had harmful virusus. Dan the technician informed for every step of the way of what was going on and now it runs like brand new!!!
Buy everything tech here. Especially since Future Shop bought it.
Amazing customer service and top notch knowledge.
Good sales, has everything you need, but severally lacks in the customer service department. It's just one of those places that you'll keep shopping at, even though it makes you grumpy every time.
Really bad intergration with FlexIT Financial financing services. Why offer a service if it cannot be used online and cannot aquire an item from antoher store with the service. No workarounds offered besides a complex process for the customer. Their Policy: A deposit not on flexit would have to be made to transfer the item of the full value. Then you must return the item to use the Flexit financial. But, you have to wait three days for the item to be back in their inventory to purchase it again.
Best service ever. Went above and beyond to help my son great gaming PC on a budget!!!!
Quick service. Very informed
The staff are absolutely miserable, but it's still the best place in town to buy computer parts. I feel sorry for those wretched creatures who work there. Maybe one day they will find meaning in the struggle, who knows. I hope so.
Staff are friendly and helpful and always help me find what I'm looking for. The store carries a great selection of computer parts and peripherals, as well as cables of all kinds. There are deals to be had if you keep an eye out and the online in-store stock checker is helpful to prevent wasted trips.
Friendly and helpful staff
First of all very knowledgeable employees. Great prices and selection. Very nice store.
I used another company and learned my lesson.
This place is my first choice for computer parts and equipment in London. They keep up to date with parts and have good sale prices most of the time. Best of all their customer service is awesome! They have allowed me to return and exchange items after problems arose by defect or my own failure on many occasions that I don't think most stores would accept. They also know what they're talking about if you need assistance so I feel safe shopping here. :)
Nice friendly store and staff seem to know their stuff!
When I was approached by a staff member and explained that I was looking for a mid-level card somewhere in the $300 price range, I was immediately treated as if it was a nuisance to help me further, I should have known better than to suggest I didn't want to buy the $1000+ cards... I had been on the website earlier that day and had seen a few options for the 10 series cards within the $300-$400 range and yet when I mentioned that was my budget and asked what they would recommend, I was told "what we have on display here is what we have, we don't hide anything elsewhere". I found this an off-putting remark and frankly had nothing to do with my question, suggesting that I was somehow accusing them of being misleading. I continued to inquire about what their recommendation would be for something with a good improvement over my existing card, but that I did not need the latest and greatest. I was told by the staff member that they did not know really much about the differences and a opinion on the GTX 1660 and 1660 TI, and was handed the box to look at without any sort of information or knowledge imparted. When I asked if they might know how it compared to my outgoing card, they asked another nearby staff member who promptly pulled up a generic website and put in the information and turned over the screen and said it's way better! No reasoning or suggestion other than that of a higher score. The staff member that they had asked and told them that I was planning on using the card for VR, also noted that they would not use this card at all (a GTX 1660 and 1660 ti) for VR, they seemed to have more in depth knowledge and so I asked that since the minimum spec for the device was a 1060 card, how did this 1660/1660ti compare to that card, the answer was simply "well that's the just the minimum spec" which was put in a tone of voice that suggested that how ever could you suggest using a minimum spec or anything below the best of the best! I should have simply walked out at this point but it was later in the day and I knew that if I left and traveled to my local store, they would be closed, so I continued in hope that perhaps they might wake up and provide more assistance than that of a host of websites. I was wrong. I inquired on the difference between the brands, to which I was again told that "I'm not sure" and that "this one has three fans" as well as "well they are pretty much the same if it's the same card version" when I attempted to again ask for any benefit, I was told that "three fans, it's better for cooling, and I prefer three fans" again with no insight as to why it might be better other than the obvious (and a $60-$100 premium for the exact same spec card". I even noted that a major difference between the non TI card and the TI card was that of the GDDR5 vs. GDDR6 to which I received a "oh yeah" response... I am not sure if they are commission based and that when they heard I was not wanting to spend over $1000 on a card they simply dismissed me as a waste of time, or what the cause may have been. I work in the retail/customer service industry as a manager and would never expect or condone my staff dismissing a customer simply because they were not wanting to spend a fortune on an item that was beyond what their needs were. Find out what the needs of the customer are, suggest a product to fit those needs, and even suggest a reason one might decide to go for the next level above. Furthermore, you as a sales associate, have the ability and position to build value in a product and even perhaps one in a slightly higher price point, but that can suit the needs of the customer and aid them in seeing the value in their purchase. Ultimately, I have installed the card now, everything is working flawlessly and thankfully I was able to make the right choice for myself, next time perhaps I will just purchase something online instead.
Better customer service than ME down the street, at least these guys try to solve your problems
Curbside pickup really quick and the guys/gals are professionals
Low on stock since covid...but great service and nice folks..I hope they get more stock soon.
Very bad experience. I was stop to browse around the shop because I was carrying a bag??? I was ask to put my bag at the counter if I am going to browse around. What kind of service is this!
This store had a MASSIVE pile of graphics cards today (RTX 3060 all the way to 3090's and 6xxx series Radeons) - I'm talking something very huge -that they chose to not scan into their inventory. Instead, they sold it direct to people who were lucky enough to be at the store, and their closed circle of friends who were notified by those customers. The website mentioned NONE of this inventory. Others who weren't informed about it including myself, and those tired of waiting months on backorders got nothing. This is an unfair practice that only benefits random lucky people, and those that live or work in the area. While I'm glad my friends got their cards, I'm also very disappointed . Call me a sore loser , I don't care- I'll be boycotting their store. I hope corporate takes a note of this practice.
Attentive service and try their best to accommodate date. Stringent covid19 measures.
I have been several times in this store and it has always been a good experience. The staff is very knowledgeable and pleasant. Prices are fair and the service is great.
Fair pricing, friendly staff. Tommy was very helpful in explaining the products to me and finding what was right for me. Would highly recommend!
This location is great! Eddy was a huge help with picking out my commuter gaming laptop. As a student gamer with future esports aspirations, I was looking for a laptop that would be relatively easy to carry, had the gaming performance I needed, and had great cooling performance. The staff here took the time to access my needs and provided me with the solution that suited me best. Don't mind the plethora of fake reviews for this location, they are complete nonsense. This place is the best shop around.
They have some reputable staff but sometimes I just feel like I am not getting the best customer service, or just genuinely have disregard for a lot of things, made a return and they only gave back 90$! the product then when I bought a non faulty one cost 113$! Really would but wouldn’t recommend this location. If you have no other choice it’s easy n accessible. But your much better off to shop online, they’re one staff member Justin was super friendly, nice and understanding! same with this young girl who works cashier, outstanding! but the rest of the staff really just doesn’t give off a very positive vibe, very stand off kind of energy.
My first time going to canada computers couldent resist the prices I bought $4000 worth of pc parts back in april one of witch was a faulty cooler master liquid cpu cooler, it was working fine at 1st then shortly after the warranty ended the pump stopped working. The manager working this afternoon (did not catch her name) helped me with a swap even though the warranty ended also sold me an extended warranty just in case, i did not know the extended warranty was so cheap, now we have a working pc again. I am very greatful and apreciative will definatly make this my go to pc store.
Bought a 3d printer from canada computers. Printer had issues out of the box but I didn't think canada computers was accepting returns due to covid. 2 days after I buy the printer it goes on sale. I contacted canada computers 3 times over the course of a week or so about getting it for the sale price since they neglected to tell me it was going on sale just 2 days after I bought it. Their response was that due to covid they are not doing their price matching. I was not asking them to price match another store, I was asking for a store credit for the difference. No honor there!
Friendly and helpful staff, store was nicely laid out.
Awesome customer support. It was super busy but we didnt have to wait long at all
The people that work here I swear to god, I have only had bad customer service experiences. The workers just telling me to visit the website and look at the specs myself, instead of helping me at the counter. People literally not doing their job or caring about the customers at all. I ordered a strix and they stopped telling me where I was in line even AFTER putting a deposit in with them. Like I paid money, I'm pretty certain I deserve to know an estimate of when I'll get my card. Everyone that works here doesn't do their jobs and when they do they underperform substantially. If you don't like working here find another job! Don't sigh when I ask you for specs on a ram stick... like jesus you are not 12. This is about the Waterloo CC!
Great store, knowledgeable people. Could improve return policies
As someone who favours desktops as my main means of online interaction, this place is the ideal store for appropriate appliances and supplies. Their hours were a lifesaver when my monitor died on a late Sunday afternoon and this was the only source for a replacement at that time. Considering the advantages of desktops for economical computer power and upgrade flexibility, this is a store that understands that for a declining format and works with it for the good of all.
Dan is the man. Talk to this guy maximum expertise. Will be back!
Efficient location for picking up an online order. Parking at rear.
any time ive needed help or questions answered, their employees have always been a huge help.
Bought 4 Laptops from CC in Waterloo, They were refurbished but not a big deal. Open the product and the battery held ZERO charge, I paid for the extended warranty and so when I called and asked for a replacement battery the lady on the phone was very rude and told me to just return the item after I had set it all up. I had to speak to a manager to get him to order a battery. When the battery came in and they called me to come get it and I got to the store not only was the battery not the slim Li Ion that was in the laptop but they also refused to give me the battery without the proof of purchase. I explained I had just got a call to come pick it up and was never told to bring it plus its on file with my email. They refused to give me the battery and I ended up never getting it because by the time I could arrange to drive back to Waterloo they had sold it ... We spend over 10k a year with CC and after this we moved our business away from them.
Good deal. Staff is really knowledgeable
Not great customer service
This service technican was not helpfull at all. Moreover was rude and swore to costumers. He also stunk so bad that we could not stand it. Horrible experience, i hope he get fired soon so other people dont neey to deal with his bad mood and behaviour. Wont buy anything else from them and i am recommending you to do the same!
Rude customer service by Lana over email "this mouse has never left the store, it was used as a DEMO. We aren’t going to give a discount for fingerprints and dust. Anyway, I will cancel your order then." All I asked was a simple question of whether or not there is a discount because the item has been opened and used.
