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
