There's a good reason why they're called Visions.
Please do yourself a favor by reading this post before deciding to go buy any electronics or appliances.
Originally, I had bought a mid tier Samsung 50" Smart TV. The salesman who helped me was very knowledgable on TV's. However, what impressed me the most about the salesman was that he didn't haggle on trying to sell me just any TV. Instead, he provided me with information on the OPTIONS available within my budget range that best met my needs as a GOOD suitable TV for my family. So, I happily bought one from him.
Fast forward, one and a half years later, my TV malfunctions. I call up the TV salesman and he immediately sent a TV technician to my home and the problem was solved. Fast forward, two years after that, I tried to call him up again, but this time, he no longer works there, so instead, another TV salesman sent out a TV technician to my house. However, this time around, the TV isn't repairable because the TV manufacturer no longer carried parts for it. Although, it was no fault of their own and due to their exceptional warranty policy, Visions happily gave me a store credit to buy another TV. I am elated ! I am also very glad that I had made a good decision at the beginning, to also purchase their extended warranty for 5 years on the original TV, even though they still gave 2 years for FREE.
I now own a new TV that has better picture quality along with a slew of updated technologies than what I had originally with the old TV. In addition to that, the TV also comes with a new warranty to boot. I honestly don't know how Visions made money from this, but they sure know how to KEEP a customer like me very HAPPY.
In contrast to my purchase at Visions, I have a friend who bought a TV on Amazon and had headaches with it on day one. The TV arrived broken along with poor customer service. I also have to mention that she had to package and pay for shipping costs just to send it back to them for repairs after 2 years of use. Finally, after 3 years, her TV broke again and she had to throw it away because Amazon refused to help service it afterwards.
I'd also like to mention Best Buy. They use to be the best when they first arrived in Canada many years ago, but nowadays they're more like "Bad Buy", ever since their subsidiary Futureshop closed down. I did visit them to look for a TV, but I couldn't find anything good available in stock. The ones remaining were too expensive and out of my price range or too cheap quality like a no name brand that I've never heard of before. I curiously asked about their extended warranty and found out that it was very expensive, especially for anything longer than 3 years. I'm glad that Visions is a better alternative than "Bad Buy".
Before, I wondered why Visions' letter head is in bold red color. Then I realized that they're proudly a Canadian company ! Nowadays, there aren't that many left. Not only do they have low prices on brand name electronics, but their before sale and after service far exceeds my expectations as the last remaining Canadian electronic and appliance retail store still in existence, that actually support the products that they sell.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I hope that it will save you from headaches when deciding to purchase electronics and appliance products in the near future. Have yourself a wonderful day. read more
