I'd like to inform anyone considering purchasing a computer from Campus Computers to be aware of my story. I first called Campus to ask about purchasing a new power supply for my one year old computer which I bought from them and was told "we don't sell parts for old computers" and then the receptionist hung up. I called back and asked to speak to a tech person which then agreed he knew which PS i needed and all I had to do was pick it up. I left work early drove from Vancouver to Surrey and was told again by the receptionist that if it didn't work or fit that I was stuck with it and could not return it. I told her what I thought of her and her attitude and left the PS and the Surrey store for good. Still needing the PS I went to the Coquitlam branch with my computer and bought the PS. The manager told me they would treat me much better so I decided to leave the computer there to be upgraded to a PII 233 for 400+ dollars. Pick it up in 3-5 days all parts are in stock. On day 5, I call and was told that the parts just came in today ready tomorrow. Saturday parts just came in will be ready Wednesday. Thursday Parts are in and tech is installing will be ready Friday. Friday still working on it will be ready Saturday AM for sure. Saturday 1:30 I arrive to pick it up. Still working on it for sure by 3:30. I state if not done I will take computer elswhere (computer still sitting in corner with case on). 3:30 I arrive and was told no one knows anything about my computer (nothing done to it) so I take home untouched. Get home to find it dos not work, remove the case cover and the CPU is missing. and no explanation to where it might be. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND STAY AWAY FROM CAMPUS COMPUTERS. -- Nick LeForte DATAbasics Vancouver, Canada CW2.003, CW4 nickleforte@iname.com
