Another 'avoid' recommendation ... I was in the market for an Epson Stylus Colour 760. Rang their Mt. Gravatt store and was told they had one in stock. Arrived at the store within 30 minutes, waited for 10 mins or so until I managed to speak to someone (not exactly the most helpful or friendliest sales person in the world) and was told they didn't have one in stock. When I explained that I had phoned only 30 mins earlier, I was told that I couldn't have been speaking to them! End of story. -- Cheers Shane Andersen Visit the Darling Downs Soaring Club www.ddsc.org.au Queensland's Premier Soaring Club <s800045@student.uq.edu.au> wrote in message news:Pine.OSF.4.21.0005261302210.29595-100000@student.uq.edu.au... > I thought i was the only one who was told the same! > > And I also left my system there to have the CD writer installed but when I > checked back one week later, they told me the writer wasn't available and > i should pay $100 more for another model! > > On Fri, 26 May 2000, Elvis Presley wrote: > > > i'll second that non-recommendation. the staff there are possibly the rudest > > human beings on earth who don't care about (or listen to, for that matter) > > their customers. > > > > they rarely have stock in, and usually make up some lame excuse if they can't > > get parts. i've twice been told that hardware was being taken off the market, > > and unavailable in australia, only to drive down to qld computer group and > > purchase the same "unavailable" hardware 15mins later. > > > > plus, their customer service (if that's what you can call it) is lousy. a > > friend of mine had his quantum drive replaced with a slower conners drive > > when he took his system in to have the motherboard checked out, and sunlit > > claimed no knowledge of it. > > > > DODGY business. another stay-away recommendation. > > > > s800045@student.uq.edu.au wrote: > > > > > oh God what a recommendation!
