Anyone been to the new store of ME at all ?

作者: myversa 時間: 2010-9-27 09:02

Memory Express is a computer store? the one on #3? From the name, I thought it was a camera or craft store...

I thought it's not opened yet? Still construction going on there?

作者: September 時間: 2010-9-27 09:13

I think it's grand opening is this Sat Oct 2. I drove by there this weekend, they are still renovating...

Aren't Memory Express and NCIX sister company?

On the website it says you can still go into the store whilte it's renovating.

Compu2000 & NCIX are sister stores.

Memory Express came from Alberta from a Viet owner, Richmond store is their 7th location.

Don't find their price ( on their web site ) too attractive.
You can find some of their sale items cheaper from Best Buy or NCIX.

作者: kimball 時間: 2010-9-27 17:10

They say in their ad that they will price match competitors and beat the price by 5%. If they stick to their promise (and not play tricks) it is good news to computer/electronic users in Vancouver.

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2010-9-27 17:15

Oh .. they are entering Van market?

I think they are Calgary based .. not 100% sure.

My wife loves to shop there, (and NCIX too) but she said NCIX has better price in general .. ( I have no clue about computer stuff .. my woman in charge!! )

作者: pkphilip 時間: 2010-9-27 21:13

Memory Express was in the market for the longest time...

They were used to be 2 Viet guys driving around town wholesaling CPU and RAM, that's why they were called Memory Express because they deliver quickly.

It certainly DOES NOT beat NCIX as the owners are "big water pipe", they have lots to burn before they close down.

Bear in mind that they sell TVs and other stuff as well as components, so they are more of a problem to Futureshop/BestBuy.

The common components are coming from the same suppliers, and I am not sure how ME can compete solely on prices.

i was there yesterday... looks ok inside.. they said they will pm any store and extra 5%.. not the difference but actually 5% off the item.. not sure if it's true..

作者: myversa 時間: 2010-9-29 06:04

usually when you do pm, they will phone the competitor and check if the item is available in the competitor store. Will this new store have the same policy?

That's why i don't like pm, you may end up wasting your time and gas.

作者: lo_pak 時間: 2010-9-29 13:25

I don't like to drive on No.3 Road, especially that location...
Unless they are 10% cheaper, for the same item I will try buying from NCIX first...

And single lane traffic...

作者: 吳孟達 時間: 2010-9-30 10:21

Yes, wrong location for the store. They should take the old NCIX Richmond location.

The old NCIX store is too small. The new retail store, as advertised, is 23,000 sq.ft.

作者: myversa 時間: 2010-9-30 12:36

They do not post any grand opening special? Or there is none?

作者: 吳孟達 時間: 2010-9-30 12:45

For me, there is no need to have a retail showroom. A good website and a good location to pick up stuff is better.

作者: lo_pak 時間: 2010-9-30 12:48

回復 26# 吳孟達

Other than computer components, they still have other electronics e.g. TV, Home Theater, Camera, etc. Without retail space it's tough to promote.

作者: 吳孟達 時間: 2010-9-30 14:07

Right, so if they need demo places to show their new TV and Cameras, then the current location is a big NO NO for them...

yeah, just go to NCIX Aberdeen store.

作者: myversa 時間: 2010-10-1 07:35

we will wait and see their pm policy. If they really want to compete with ncix or other computer stores, they really should step up.

Let's rely on their pm then. Hope they will honor the pm without much trouble like anywhere else.

作者: myversa 時間: 2010-10-1 22:33

so who is going there tomorrow?

作者: myversa 時間: 2010-10-4 07:51

went there this weekend. It seemed so empty in big store. Imagine this was the old Future shop with variaties of different appliances and entertainment section. Now it was only tvs and computer stuff.

Nothing was particularly cheap and caught my eyes.

I went there yesterday. Horrible parkings. Other than that, nothing too impress me...
Based on those Demo PC stations, I think they are targeting at those new immigrants who can spend quite a lot on electronics. With the PM minus 5% policy, I'm wondering if they can balance their book...

haha I had to park in superstore (which I luckily found one space) and went for lunch there before I had over Memory Express.

The store looks very empty.

They "may" have expected customers will fillup those gaps...

作者: tweety 時間: 2010-10-7 18:51

I went there last sunday; lucky that I can park in front of the store.. I bought their special samsung dvd external drive for $39.99 + taxes; I checked ncix 's website ($59.99) before I buy it..
I also bought a camera stand for my boyfriend
I paid my product at customer services.. heehee. no line up there..

I don't want line up for an hour to pay my things..

good customer services..

but they carry those cheap acer or asus laptops and some brands that I never heard of

作者: eddie 時間: 2010-10-18 12:44

Went there at 4:00pm on last Saturday, there were more sale persons than customer.

bad location, the place may be too big for their business because there are so many empty spaces.

作者: cremedelacreme 時間: 2010-10-19 23:52

Went there yesterday afternoon, the place was huge but empty. Sales person are very friendly.

作者: DragonFire 時間: 2010-10-20 00:45

As a retail store, the location is waay tooo bad. The price are really not THAT attractive, NCIX will not be challenged.

Having a large retail store as a "computer + accessories" on main focus, it will not last very long....
