Okay, so I made a thread abit back asking whether 3 monitors would affect the performance of my computer much etc as opposed to one. I had ordered 2 monitors and a mini display port adapter due to me having an AMD card I need the adapter for the third screen. Needless to say I had ordered my monitors and the adapter last tuesday. Today is now Wednesday and as I had gone to pick up my monitors & adapter I found out that they only had my monitors in but not my adapter as I had already gone in previous last week to see if my monitors etc will have turned up!
So knowing there was another computer shop in town I went there to see if they had the adapter I was after, I explained to the shop keeper that I needed a mini display port to dvi adapter for my amd card. He looked at me with a blank expression as if to say I was an idiot who hadnt a clue what I was talking about! So obviously I wasn't getting one from their today. Needless to say I had picked up my monitors from the first shop and got a refund for the DVI adaptor (They knocked a fiver off for the 'delivery' but I shouldn't have to compensate if they can't provide decent service!)
So immediately, I thought I would use the upgrade service with PCS to see whether that would be any quicker. To put something into perspective, I had ordered 2 monitors and 1 adapter last tuesday and the monitors alone only just turned up today minus the adapter. I placed my order for an adaptor and 2 dvi cables at 13:15 and it had been despatched at 13:52. So trusting the 'locals' wasn't all that smart decision but the speed of my order was printed, picked, packaged and ready for despatching (And having worked in a warehouse it can be a long process to pick things!) that's VERY VERY impressive!
As far as I'm concerned any upgrades I need doing, I won't even consider using my local computer shops. I shall be allowing pcs to do all upgrades (There will be many in the future when funds come my way!) As if the turn around is as quick as that today, Happy wouldn't be the word to describe it!
So as in the title. PCS 2 - Local Computer Shops 0!
Cheers
