Sorry to bit in what is this all about, Fs not giving price protection, I
for one have had very good responce to it, in the last 2 months, the last
time was for a BJ-200ex Canon Printer which was just a couple of weeks
ago would it be the salesperson or a preticular stoe that has a problem.
So far a satisfied CUSTOMER. The outlet is the Naniamo Store for your
information. Regards
GDH
