They are a branch of noel leemings and last time i visited had budget brand fx5600's on the shelf for over 500 bucks....shocking,and when i asked for a cpu cooler,they refused to sell me one but offered to supply and fit one for 100 dollars. Again,shocking. |

| 243799 | 2004-06-12 22:55:00 | I've sent an email to everyone of those guys, rest assured. In most cases, they merely haven't updated their website. Does anyone in this country keep things in stock? |

| 243800 | 2004-06-13 00:11:00 | Ummm . . . . . . . Actually Growly, with the low prices users expect, and the wafer-thin margins that result, "just-in-time" buying is increasingly becoming the only way to keep buyers coming but stay in business . Only high turnover items can be held in stock . So, if you want cheap prices, be prepared to wait, otherwise go to a bigger outfit with heaps of staff, stock, and overheads . You will get fast service but pay a higher price . I go to Tech-Pacific for some items I can get cheaper elsewhere because I want them NOW . So, the answer to your anguished question is a "qualified" NO! Cheers Billy 8-{) Grinch Warning: Loosely topic-related but somewhat sexist ditty follows:- If you are feeling particularly humourless right now, please read no further . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I like the girls that do, I respect the girls that don't I hate the girls who say they will, but later say they won't . But the girl I like the most of all, and I hope you'll agree I'm right, is the girl that says she never does, but looks as if she might . *sigh* I guess you had to be there, but Growly's supplier dilemma somehow brought this to my decidedly erratic mind . :| |

| 243801 | 2004-06-13 00:48:00 | Interesting Billy T, interesting . . . . Now, I understand that these people get it cheap because they themselves dont actually stock it, but don't have a test copy? a random? something they didn't know was there? I guess that I was kinda hoping they would, though I knew they wouldn't . As for your . . . uh . . . poem . . . that's interesting too . Very interesting . *Sigh* |

| 243802 | 2004-06-13 01:33:00 | By some inexplicable feat of subconscious neural linking, this is what your post dragged up into my mind Growly: I like the shops that hold good stocks, I pass on shops that don't . I hate the shops who say they'll send, then later they say they won't . . But the shop I like the most of all, and I hope you'll agree, I'm right is the one that says it's out of stock, but we'll courier it overnight . Cheers Billy 8-{) |
