Excuse: NCIX Product is different / OEM.
Answer: NCIX is selling the retail version of this product, you can see that both NCIX and BB/FS carry the products with the same manufacturer's part number:
NCIX Part #: DT100/16GB & BB Mfr. Part Number: DT100/16GB
They are indeed the same; however NCIX left the suffix "CR" off. They can call to verify with NCIX if needs be.
Excuse: NCIX Online Reseller.
Answer: NCIX Retail Locations: http://www.ncix.com/contact/
Excuse: NCIX is wholesale.
Answer: NCIX is open to the public with no minimum purchases or membership requirements.
Excuse: Limited Quantity
Answer: Please check the website again, NCIX doesn't say limited quantity for this item.
Excuse: Limited to Stock on Hand
Answer: Every store has a limited stock on hand (even BB/FS). If I needed a 5000 pieces, does BB/FS have stock on hand for immediate purchasing?
Excuse: Cash only
Answer: No, NCIX accepts major credit cards and debit cards without an extra service charge; you can also offer to pay with cash if you like.
Excuse: NCIX is not located locally.
Answer: As per the policy "The advertised item must be sold through and authorized dealer located in Canada." NCIX is a Canadian store and located in Canada. "Start singing O-Canada!"
Excuse: I can't give you the PM
Answer: Please provide me with your corporate contact information; I would like to make a formal inquiry with regards to the PM policy that BB/FS so proudly advertises. Also, ask the manger for his business card. Some managers will sometimes change their attitude completely when they relize you me business and somehow PMs happen (Usually the manager will say: "I'll do it this one time."). If they can't find their corporate contact, ask them if BB 1-866-237-8289 / FS 1-800-663-2275 is the number to call.
Excuse: Please step aside and will continue on the side
Answer: Sorry, but please complete my transaction first. (When I've previously stepped aside, they purposely tried to forget about me and hope that I would just disappear.) A growing lineup also places pressure on them to do the right thing, instead of trying to find excuses from underneath a rock to try to deny a legit PM.
Excuse: Talk amoung themselves. (delaying the situation, give them time to think up excuses)
Answer: I sometimes start talking about how difficult it's to get a PM with the cashier. Then I pickup the extended warranty plan brochure and ask the cashier if it's this difficult to obtain warranty through their extended warranty plan too (not too loudly, but loud enough for others in line to hear); two can play this game. Potential extended warranty sales disappears for the next few customers in line. One manager once lost it and took the brochure from my hand and placed it back on the stack and authorized the PM immediately.
Excuse: Umhhh
Answer: Please honor your lowest price guarantee policy.
BTW: Don't get rude about the whole thing, as this doesn't help the PM situation. Be a persistant customer, not a rude &*(&(*^! Please do not play the "race card" with regards to the management at BB, as myself and other RFDers has ran into managers from assorted races that try to deny a legitimate PM (BB, FS & Staples included). If you're a real jerk, they can actually have security to remove you from their premises; just be polite and keep you cool (you'll get to stay).
Please honor your lowest price guarantee policy.
Have Fun PMing!
BB/FS vs. NCIX using NCIX regular price! BB/FS is more expensive majority of the time!
