This computer store is conveniently located in the subway on Flinders Street connecting to Flinders…read moreStreet Train Station. It is slightly off-putting to come here at first as this establishment appears to be dirty and full of computers everywhere. A great, convenient locale which trades as a computer repair store; a store that buys and sells laptops and is also a high quality and fast Internet Cafe with cheap printing facilities. The rates are fairly cheap; we are talking about $2 for 20 minutes use of the Internet; not unlike paying the same amount for only half the time. And the loyalty system is quite good here as well. Regardless of how long you are on the Internet at any given moment; a minimum of 20 minutes is best to get your money's worth; for every five visits you earn credits to ensure that your sixth visit in using the Internet here is free of charge. Overall great value and prompt, friendly service. The same person is in all the time (he could be the owner) yet he always stops what he is doing at any given moment to look after each and every customer which is good to see; it is fantastic.

Okay, despite being a bit of a computer geek (though I wonder how one defines a computer geek these…read moredays since pretty much everybody used computers) I generally don't spend all that much time in computer shops. Maybe it is because I generally don't buy all that much - all I the software that I use is freely available, and I generally only get hardware when I absolutely need it - that I don't visit many computer shops. This place isn't bad, though the staff are only knowledgeable on the stuff that most people use, so if you come with a question like 'does this work on Linux' there response is - it should. Also, if you are looking for component parts (such as a power supply) then unfortunately you won't find any here. In a way it is a store that deals specifically with computers, and really only stuff that the average user would require. They also tend to be a little more expensive that some of the other store, but at least they do know a little more than your average salesperson at Dick Smiths.

The man who served me clearly did not want to be there and could provide no help (I could hear the other salesman being very helpful with another customer, luck of the draw). Was not able to view a computer case out of the box before paying for it because then they "would not be able to sell the item as new". Fair call? You decide. To me it was frustrating. Three stars due to unhelpful customer service, bordering on rude. I wanted to award less but I'm taking into account that I really need a coffee!

Unless you know a fence, Metro PC is probably your best option for cheap second-hand PCs and parts…read more At least in the CBD, anyway. And it smells a bit like a fence should smell - all dust and secrets.

After trying a few different cables (and I'm not sure exactly how I managed to acquire them), I was forced to accept the inevitable. My phone had turned into an expensive brick. I checked into MKC in Melbourne's city centre after finding them online. My iPhone had stopped recognising when it was connected to recharge, so I took it in and was told it'd probably be either the battery itself or the dock that accommodates the cable. The conversation went like this: Me: Hello. My iPhone is a brick. MKC: What's wrong with it? Me: (Explained what was wrong with it). MKC: Oh. That'll probably be the battery or the cable dock. Me: Can you fix it? MKC: Probably. Give us an hour and $79. 60 minutes later, I was handed back a fully operational, functioning phone. Brilliant. Staff were friendly and straight-talking. I was happy with the price. I hope I don't have to visit again, but if things go sideways, MKC will be my first port of call.

JB HiFi Bourke Street - Melbourne. I will never shop at JB…read moreHiFi again after the appalling service I received today when dealing with the Store Manager Patrick. I had had a price match approved by your online team (I am a business customer and they were matching an existing business discount) and Patrick picked up my call mid way through a conversation with a VERY FRIENDLY sales assistant and decided that he wouldn't be honouring what had already been approved by the JB Business team AND the JB online team and although he could see three different invoices that had been issued with the discount, decided he was the messiah of JB HiFi and the overall decision maker for the whole company and he would not be honouring the deal. For a store manager, Patrick had absolutely no customer service skills, was combative, rude, continually spoke over me and cut me off and would not listen to what I was trying to explain even though it was shown on the three invoices he was able to look at. As a result of this I will be taking my business for this purchase and ALL other future purchases for myself and my business elsewhere, even if I have to pay full frieght on the products to ensure that I am treated fairly and with respect.
