Hiya guys,

Many of you will probably be surprised to see an article praising our ‘competitors’ right here on the warcom blog,  but the boys at WarcomHQ and I where discussing our own ‘favourite computer stores‘ the day, so we figure we may as well throw this out there and see what you guys thought.

Although I’ve never actually purchased from one of the direct competitor listed in the next paragraph , I have purchased from the MSY and found the service decent enough (and obviously blisteringly cheap! Back in the day, I also use to purchase from CPL & Centrecom. Generally speaking though, anything I need for myself is sourced directly from distributors  or if time permits, I’ll order from  Amazon, NewEgg, eBay or from the various other online institutions in America….

Having personally been in the IT Industry for going on twelve years now *groan* – I’ve always respected computer stores like Scorptec, Computer Alliance & HT. All of these guys have been around for practically ever, they have fantastic reputations in the industry and continue to grow from strength to strength.

So …. And as we reach the point of this article!

If you happen to shop with any of these computer stores. we’d love to hear your your thoughts about what set them apart from each other and more importantly, what makes them stand out. Is it their price? Their service? Something else completely? Tell us!

I’d personally like to thank anyone who takes the time to contribue feedback.

By doing so it will help us better service you.

Cheers!
Paul

Hi Everyone!

While we love selling heaps of ADSL Modems and Routers across Australia to many happy customers we do from time to time have to handle items returned under warranty.  I’ve been here for about 6 months and this is the first Cisco I’ve seen come through the doors of Warcom.

We received this beauty the other day which we have to send to our supplier to get checked and repaired.  I tried taking the best photo possible but it is difficult to convey the amount of dirt on this poor piece of hardware.  It looks like someone spent the better part of its life with it on the seat of their chair while they got their gear off and sat on it to keep warm during the winter.  After touching it to take a photo I had to wash my hands.  Twice.
