Oh, too bad the Queensborough store closed.  Doesn't make much a difference since I only visited twice so far even I live ~ 5mins away.

Their strategy is changing to smaller size stores now.

This set up was done on purpose.  They first experiment this BB+FS set up  in Toronto.  They found that not only the two won't cannibalize each other, they actually stimulated more sales.

Unfortunately  the market in Vancouver  is much smaller compared to Toronto

I smiled when I read the news a few days ago. I have deep empathy of the workers there who lost their jobs; I laughed because it proves my belief that prices are not necessary everything. Since they have been under-cutting the retail industry and completely screwed everyone over, I think it's karma getting back at them.

I also laugh at them because of their business models, more and more people are disgusted with them and move to the more local stores.

I still have a few FS gift cards waiting for Boxing Day sales.  Good thing BB will honour them.  Actually I like them better than NCIX.  I have not shopped at NCIX for more than 3 yrs.  Their prices are not that great, especially the last 2 or 3 BD sales and I really hate their mail-in rebate. Both FS & BB stopped rebate already and according to them, their sale prices included the rebate amount. I had two returns two months ago at BB. Since I never opened the package, the transactions went through somewhat smoothly as they had to reverse all my gift card purchases. The return service at NCIX does not exist.  If it does, they either charge you stocking fee or give you tons of excuses that you won't get full refund back. It's just awful!

I shop at NCIX on a regular basis and if you know where to look, their price matching policy can be your friend. Almost 85% of my purchases have price matched prices.

In terms of return, NCIX is a place for those who know what they are looking for and intend to keep. I have done a few returns in NCIX in the last couple months and the products were tested to be defective. They even allowed me to return 10 days late when my mech keyboard was not working at all. I guess many people expect the returns to be taken care of right away (refund immediately), but in reality, you may need to leave the products with them and let them figure out what to do.

I have not have a failed mail in rebate as I keep record of everything. Most rebates are done online now so the chances of a miss-rebate is close to none. I mailed all my USA destined rebates in the US to save postage. I got all my black Friday and Boxing Day rebates within 2 months.

I guess working in the IT industry and having to constantly deal with manufacturers for RMA just lowers my expectation for NCIX, I know what they need to go through to process a return caz I know it is not the smoothest process. So far NCIX is still my favorite place to shop even places like Canada Computers and Memory Express has better prices.
