just a heads up for the computer ppl on here, there is a new computer store in richmond called http://www.memoryexpress.com/ opening up.
According to the website their price match policy seems really good, 5% of the total price.

more competition with NCIX :D

[nabs]

they are advertised on the beat as well.

[gilly]

wow they have a good variety of parts. prices are pretty decent too.

[RCubed]

Ive had good experiences with MemoryExpress' in Edmonton. Friendlier and more knowledgable than NCIX. I hope its the same with this new location.

[ddr]

definitely friendlier, not sure about more knowledgeable though

they need to expand the PM thing to online ordering as well. then NCIX will have some stiff competition.

from my own experience when i was living in calgary, they weren't as willing in terms of PM-ing. we'll see how open they are in vancouver.

[twitchyzero]

saw it on rfd..good stuff hope they open a store in burnaby too

[Jayboogz]

Yes.

[Jayboogz]

Nice! I'm building a new computer right now from ncix. Anyone experienced with how ncix works?
If I tell them that another store is willing to give me 5% off total. How much will they offer back???
I've picked out the parts, shud I try to narrow down the stores that carry it cheaper and show them where and how much discount is offered???

[gilly]

wow they sell a lot of different stuff. Tvs too.

[6793026]

it doesn't work like that. you have to prove them an ad and show them.. you can't just say OH, abc company is offering 50 % off and assume they will just do it...

NCIX will just match the competitors price.

[Dragon-88]

Hope you dont have to wait 15-30mins just to get parts and invoice. When picking up NCIX is horrible for this.

it's called price match, not price beating

[Alby]

also for NCIX pricematching. the ad you show them or wherever the source is, they MUST also have it in stock.

[q0192837465]

nice, NCIX stopped having good deals for a while. Some comeptition to spice things up.

[nns]

also for NCIX pricematching. the ad you show them or wherever the source is, they MUST also have it in stock.

That's the same for Futureshop and Best Buy, IIRC.

[Ch28]

Uh....no shit?

Why would they price match a competitor when you can't even go there to buy it?

[6793026]

bottom line, it all comes from the same place and ncix and memx both gets the same ass pricing. the 5% is just a marketing tool to generate more business.

90% of hte time, FS and BB have exclusive models in which memx and ncix doesn't have and vice versa, so if you're expecting to buy a huge 70 in samsung tv with all the bells and whistle... and want to get 5% off.. you're not going to have any luck.

the two company has two separate business model. memx is based out of alberta, and they are CE focused. NCIX is online based and if you want, go and do research and pick up what you want and just pick up. totally diff culture at both company and both of them operate separately.

[Alby]

hey just saying so you don't look like an idiot when doing the PM and the competitor didn't have stock when they check.

[FerrariEnzo]

Memory Express is famous in Calgary abd Edmonton.. Its the NCIX over there...

im glad they branched out here...

[Levitron]

Just there...originally thought that the huge lineup was for the entrance but actually it was just the lineup for free burgers.

Staff there were generally pretty good to talk with, nice and friendly. They are on commission, but weren't pushy. Lots of TVs on display and also lots in stock.

Picked up some RAM for cheap. 6GB Patriot DDR3 for $75...not too shabby.

[Gh0stRider]

ahh shit. Grand Opening is today.

Free Burgers and drinks

[impulseX]

dealt with memory express in when i was still living in edmonton and built my cpu then. very very friendly and gave good opinions. hopefully the one in richmond has the same type of staff

[!MiKrofT]

Meh. I just ordered online from the comfort of my own home. Everything was in stock online when I checked yesterday night.

free food sometimes is bad..

last time i had free food at a store, i had the runz!!! so i dont eat free food from stores anymore...

[Meowjin]

I like NCIX, because of linus and because I've been going there for years. I don't see myself changing shops. If I'm buying tv's or laptops though and ME has it cheaper than FS, I will definetly go there instead.

[Grandmaster TSE]

went there to check it out
picked up the razer lachesis mouse for 39.99
as well, got the razer lycosa mirror keyboard as well

it was 89.99, said they would do 5% after price match, found it was selling for 75 at anitec and got the keyboard for 72 bux

[CP.AR]

picked up a 23" Samsung 23" LCD for 149.99

[Manic!]

NCIX had a huge sale to combat Memory express.

[ae101]

i prefer ME already cuz of the super friendly service, plus i know guy there already & hes willing to get me employee pricing but i don't need anything at the moment

but now i seriously regent getting my ACER laptop from FS in during the back to skool sale cuz ME has a bloody whole line of ASUS laptops for a better price, but i find it super funny that ME don't carry HP computers due to the fact that HP computers are unreliable & they use a lot of cheap material on there computers/laptops

[TOS'd]

Whats the store look like on the inside? Is it like a BB/FS where they have product all laid out with demos etc or is it like NCIX where you basically go there knowing what you want exactly. Is it a big store?

[CP.AR]

^ A mix of both... I would say

But again, this ain't Fry's electronics - so no doing stupid shit to the display mobos

[illicitstylz]

Wow, momentus XT 500GB (ME) priced the same as the momentus XT 250GB (NCIX)

$109.99, that's a great steal

loll! oh how i love fry's.

[Meowjin]

that store fucking scares me. They were playing the creepiest ass music too.

I'll stick to ncix.

[!MiKrofT]

loll! oh how i love fry's.
+1 It's a must stop place hehe.

[StylinRed]

Sennheiser PC360 for $199.99 sweet


damnit no in-store pickup option because its too busy

and out of stock on line -_-

sale ends today.... -_-

[JordanLee]

Anyone but a set of those HD555's and are regretting it? I wouldn't mind picking it up off you lol. Richmonds the only store open today and they have zero. Tried to pricematch with ME but they have none in stock either.

[The_Situation]

fuck sakes didn't know ncix had the sale

[gars]

I went to Memory Express this afternoon. Picked up a Maximus Gene III MB, and an i5 760. the MB was $30 cheaper at NCIX, so I got the pricematch plus 5%. the i5 was a different story, it was $60 cheaper than at NCIX.

excited to build a new computer!!

[TOS'd]

ME and NCIX get their inventory from the same place too.

[ae101]

the store looks super weird cuz it use to be a furniture store so they don't have a lot of shelfs & way before that it use to be a FS (not sure if anyone here still remembers that)

[!MiKrofT]

ME customer service is great. I ordered the Patriot 120GB SSD online for the sale price and this morning asked via email if I could pickup in store on Wednesday instead of getting it shipped. They actually called me in an hour to let me know the options available.

[CP.AR]

haha I remember when future shop was there - you walk in and you are greeted by a giant WALL of old school CRT TVs

[Fafine]

would bestbuy or futureshop price match http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX26916(ME).aspx ?

[Meowjin]

ncix will do it for 279
