Canada Computers

Another place with good products but crappy sales people. Don’t ask anyone for help there because they won’t help you. I waited and waited for someone to see me but they went and helped someone else. According to the salesperson, there is nothing they could do. Just get what you need and leave. Don’t expect anyone to answer any questions.

This place has just about everything, so make sure you come in knowing what you’re looking for otherwise you’ll leave with a big hole in your wallet. Canada Computers doesn’t always have the best prices, so look around beforehand (I use
). They had the cheapest SSD hard drive I was looking for, but the display price wasn’t updated. It still rang up to the correct discounted price. The sales staff definitely know what they’re talking about. I overheard them answer some questions while I was waiting on line.

This is my goto store for computer stuff
Pricing is reasonable but keep a sharp eye for daily deals
Staff is passionate and able to help

I visited this store for the first time yesterday as a friend was in town and thought it would be fun to drag me around Vaughan as they shopped for a laptop.
After visiting Tiger Direct, Staples, Best Buy and Future Shop, I remembered this store.
Walking in, one is overwhelmed with the amount of items they carry. While my friend went to look at computers, I wandered around the store and them remembered I wanted to pick up a media player for my TV. Others have recommended either Raspberry Pi or Peevos as 2 options.
When I found the media centre section, a staff member came over and asked if he could assist. I explained what I was looking for and he explained the virtues of both components and their disadvantages. He was knowledgeable and friendly and did not attempt to persuade me purchase something else. Although neither was in stock, he advised me that the Peevos is a regular item that they carry but it sells out quickly. Said to check their website for stock… much easier than coming back to the store.
Although we left without purchasing anything (the laptop she wanted was on sale at Tiger Direct), this store is now on my radar.
I will return when looking to source a computer, camera, etc based strictly on this particular employees customer service skills.

I’m the type of shopper that goes in and already has the product in mind. I do all my research before hand and don’t consult with sales people when I shop. Tech stores are toys stores to me. If I went in without a clue I would probably impulse buy the whole store. :)
This store is spacious and well stocked. It has many of the items available on the shelves for customers to handle. Fragile or very valuable items like processors, hard drives, motherboards are kept behind the counter.
Canada Computers has handy real time product inventory tracking system on their website showing which of their locations have stock. However if you’re coming from a long distance for an item I would strongly recommend checking the site and calling the store to verify stock. (Been accurate in my experience)
What’s different between this store and other Canada Computer’s? It’s larger I find and has a bigger photography section.
I’ve never had a problem at Canada Computers yet, but I never had to return anything either. :p
