I genereally call ahead and see if they have it in stock. 90% of the time they will, if not, they can get it in the next day or two (depending on when you call) from their warehouse, then you can go in and pay for it then.

Warehouse or wholesaler....lol...most computer stores will tell you it is their warehouse but actually the wholesaler they deal with...anyway shop there many years ago when Markham store was thier only store...the tech people knew what they were talking about then..nice shop but I am not a loyal person to only one store, I buy from whoever sell for less.

ive ordered online and picked it up at their downtown location... they called me that the item was ready for pickup... it was quick, painless and good experience overall

Good store. The last two items i purchased, a high end vid card, and a 500 GB SATA HD were significantly cheaper than CC's price.

Guys at the bay/dundas location are very friendly.

Btw, I believe they don't let you return items, and its only exchange for store credit. I'm not 100% sure on this, I can't remember what he told me....i might be confused. Perhaps he said only if the item is faulty.

Could be either. According to them they had it in stock at the Markham location and just threw it on the truck they have delivering stuff daily, so I just picked it up at noon the next day.

they are very friendly at the bay and dundas location. i was bought speakers and a monitor stand that they dont normally carry on hand there. they did not have both in stock but they said they will order it for me. all they needed was my first name and phone number. no down payment, no other info.

they got great up-to-date prices and nice specials.

their online pickup form is flawless. just select what you want to buy,do a pickup checkout, and get a call when its ready to pick up and pay cash.

Same here...I ordered a low profile bracket for video card and they got it the next day and called me...the funny part was I changed my mind in the mean time (note I didn't have to leave credit card number or anything so I could have just bolted)...BUT I picked it up anyways because it was only $10 and am using it now and actually quite happy.

On a slight different note about Infonec :
I just picked up a Sapphire Theatrix 650 hybrid TV card and asked the dude if I can return it if I couldn't get it to work...and he said NO, only exchange if defective. I was actually a little surprised.

Deal with them serveral times. Better price than CC. Asked CC once if they can match price and they don't. Infonec match price for me twice.
Friendly store in Mississauga. Usually you can call and check for stock. Then order and pick up later if not in stock.

does anyone know hte return policy on infonec?

There's one younger Canadian guy working the downtown and the head-office location in Markham. He knows what he's talking about, seems to be a real enthusiast... which is somewhat of a rarity these days in such a market.

[matkun]

Their prices are low, which means their margins are razor thin.. which means they can't afford the expense of returns.

None of the stores that have good prices accept returns, because they wouldn't be profitable with such low prices if they did. You need a margin markup like BB or FS to offer 30-day return policies.

will infonec pm other places?

Why don't you ask them? If anything, I think price-matches are on a case-by-case basis. Only they will know the correct answer.

I had my current PC built by them 4 yrs back, awesome service and the PC is going strong still today Also bought random parts and whatnot from them and always had great service at the Markham location.
