So long, CompUSA

CompUSA logoIt was announced today that Com­pUSA will be clos­ing all of its remain­ing 103 stores. While most peo­ple will cel­e­brate this, given CompUSA’s less than stel­lar cus­tomer ser­vice, I mourn the news. See, in Augusta there aren’t many options for buy­ing com­puter hard­ware. There are a few local com­puter shops, such as Com­put­erOne, and sev­eral big box stores like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Tar­get and Cir­cuit City… but that’s it. Our only other option is to buy online. Good­bye, CompUSA.

    does this mean a big fat sale?

    I imag­ine there will be a store clos­ing sale of some sort… but how good the deals will be is anyone’s guess…

    I’m per­son­ally not sur­prised and some­what glad they are clos­ing… it will keep me from for­giv­ing their crappy ser­vice and mak­ing the mis­take or giv­ing them another shot every few months.

    The day or two wait to order some­thing online will be half the headache shop­ping at that store was.

    I guess I am lucky in that I never really had “bad ser­vice” when I went there. Usu­ally I hooked up with the Small Busi­ness folks and they usu­ally dis­counted any­thing I pur­chased from the store. I only placed one order online for in-store pickup, and never had problems…

    Oh well… Amazon.com usu­ally has bet­ter deals anyway. :)
