| - So here's the thing, I'm a pretty reasonable consumer. I need to make some home purchases here in the next few months so I applied for credit via their website. 26 seconds after submitting my application, I got a phone call from an area number. I was quite surprised it was from a salesman that wanted to tell me I had been approved for quite a large credit limit and should come spend my money. I agreed to come in that afternoon and see what they had.
I was looking for a laptop now, and furniture later and upon walking in, it felt weird. I was immediately approached by no less than five salespeople assaulting me with questions and their eagerness to help. I declined, because I wanted to check their prices vs. amazon just so I had an idea.
Immediately, I noticed their beautiful tv display area. The furniture, also appeared to be quality stuff and reasonably priced. The laptop I found, with the exact same specs, was $400 less on amazon. They 'couldn't' price match or flex on the price at all, which made my decision rather easy.
Keep in mind, as the day progressed, I received four text messages from the salesperson, with wretched grammar asking when I was coming in. This kind of approach couldn't be more of a turn off.
While they have a nice showroom, and a few of the salespeople did actually seem pleasant, my overall experience couldn't have been much worse. Sometimes it's moments like these that remind us that it DOES matter where we spend our money.
Unless of course you're into being harassed and badgered for overpriced items, in which case this place is perfect!
