It's settled then, from now on I will purchase my equipment at A to Z (I do not need the embarrassment at $tarcon or have to travel to Eldi for BestSell or have to research my prices b4 goin to bloomug). Thanks for saving my dignity, time and money. Davis On Wed, 2010-01-27 at 11:46 +0300, Peter Karunyu wrote:
Bestsell ya eldi is quite okay; last time i was there, there were 3 cute sales ladies who talked quite nicely to me, served me quite well.
But the best experience i've had so far was @ A to Z Technology Solutions in westie, while waiting for my merchandise, I relaxed on a sofa, they served me coffee and surprise surprise, the sales lady there knew stuff about what she was selling; we made small talk about tech stuff, its was really nice.
And when my goods arrived, they gave me a few minutes to examine and try it out. And I didn't have to pay for all this niceness coz the item I was buying was like 5k more expensive @ starcom.
