Scam and cheating!
Complaint Rating:  0 % with 0 votes
Company information:
Future Shop
Richmond Hill, Ontario

I'll make this short and sweet... I spent almost $6,000 in home electronics and computers. Picked up the items myself with a minivan. Got home and my 46" LCD was cracked. A clear visible dent on the box revealed that someone from FS used their knee to lift the box. Went back, and they refused to do anything... saying I assumed the risk by picking it up myself. Let it be know, FS staff loaded and secured the TV in the van.

Obvious BS... The Sales Manager and GM worked together to deliberately try to screw me over and get me to walk away... duh... I drop over $2K on a tv, I ain't walking away. Excuses like... I'll need to review the video footage... it'll take a few days... I don't think so buddy.

Long story short...I got my TV back and will never buy from these A$$holes again, please DO NOT BUY FROM FUTURESHOP IN RICHMOND HILL... the managers are crooked, deceptive and downright pathetic. You guys know who you are and what you do.... all I can say is karma... what goes around comes around.

you have to know also Futur Shop is Owned by BEST BUY... and they make u think they are different store, is u see they have the same store decoration, same tactics of sales, same commercial or almost...

now they push there technicien to have a 90 days course to have an A+ certification, for what, just to install your xp or office, and you pay a 100$, a store in pincourt Quebec was doing a whole work, for 100$, they even charge 100.00$ to install a plug kb

I bought a computer laptop (at Futureshop)cost: $1175.oo total..I asked, does it have a disc for reformat in case I need to... no, i was told they don't do that anymore.. but we can make one for you... ok. Cost, my question. $100.oo said sales-rep... fine.. long story short... disc made, cost $ 40.00 other $60 was for set-up.. I never asked for them to set it up..told them not to !!!(they had already started doing it, I told them to stop)
If I had not asked question, I would have been charged, (as far as I knew) $100. oo for reformat disc... but after a lot of this and that, they charged me $40.oo for disc..and got refund for $60.00... WAS also told that "64 bits is the same as a dual core"..dont know if that is tru
ARe these sales(parttimers) properly trained or what?

Disclaimer: I am a tech lead for a Future Shop.

Rain: to answer you're questions...

1) To have FS techs create recovery discs for you there is a $40 service fee. However you can create them yourself with little difficulty. Infact the computer prompts you when you first turn it on. Make sure you have 2-3 DVDs handy.
2) Although I agree that $100 is a bit steep for computer setup I can say that it does indeed help those that are new to computers. The setup includes: bloatware removal, testing of the computer hardware, unneeded startup item removal, all windows updates, installation of a piece of a software and a peripheral, tweaking and optimizing the computer, and installation of program most people use (flash, adobe reader, quicktime, etc...) As well we create the recovery discs.
3) Many of the salespeople are not trained properly. They are basically people put into the job after reading up on what a "router" is from a very simple summary of tech subjects. They are NOT product experts. I am sad to say that some of the technicians are not much better. However a technician is more likely to know what he/she is talking about and will be more motivated to help you out.
4) 64bits and dual core are NOT the same thing. You can have a dual-core processor that is 64-bit just as you can have a 64-bit processor that is a quad-core. They are meant to describe different aspects of a processor.

Please people, do your research. The sales guys just know what is on the box and sometimes less.

Regards,

A fed-up employee.
