Well I would complain about their service not that their website can't handle the overload.

Those 3 retailers are just that retailers. "Middle men." If you know what you need and want to buy, you can find it elsewhere at a better price.

So where is this magical place that sells cheaper than NCIX that isn't a wholesaler which you need to be a company and buy 50 of the product.

Hi,

Am trying to buy stuff from the best buy but it says I'm in the checkout queue but the bar doesn't move. Should I just quit and try again? Any thoughts? Anyone else able to get through and actually purchase stuff?

Thanks

No luck at all, in fact one of the reloads had changed the contents of my order so I had to start over.

Build a relationship with a reputable mom and pop store. They can make special orders for you and in most cases it is still a deal because they don't have the mark up to pay for employees or huge overhead. Plus the nice thing about being able to place special orders is that you get exactly what you want not whatever items they carry.

What mom and pop store buys electronics for less than the big chains like FS and BB?? I'd like to know.

yes there are cheaper places to get your electronics from, but you'll have to find it. There are tons of deals online, but most are all in the states and overseas. You'll have to consider how much you'll be taxed by customs. The big chains are a very good place to buy, since their return policy is very generous. Some cheap places won't even allow returns. So consider what you value more,

NCIX sucked big time this year. Sounds like you only saved a very small amount of $. In a few weeks to a few months, any items that were knocked down will be on sale again and even cheaper. Besides, NCIX. like many asian stores jack up the price before boxing day and then drop them. Most people just see the savings but don't know the previous price. They think they got a good deal when in fact they didnt.
