One of the things I find appealing with NCIX is that you can do free pick up in stores, and if they have enough stores it's convenient enough to do so, and it's cheaper than paying to get it shipped, and may be faster too.adamtheman wrote: ↑This is where I disagree. ME has 1 store in Vancouver, while NCIX has 7 or 8 stores in the Vancouver area. That adds a lot of overhead to NCIX. The majority of BC's population is within driving distance to ME's store. I don't see why NCIX needs a store in Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, etc. They are going about it the wrong way. The future is online shipping, with maybe 1 retail store here and there. Just take a look at Newegg.com... it is the largest computer retailer in the US and has no physical stores at all. They aren't needed.
If the store is inconvenient, you'd either have to pay for shipping, or make a trek to go pick it up.
