how exactly is a distributor kept in the dark?

even if they haven't been on reddit/rfd, like most industries I assume word spreads fast

guess it's not surprising they want to have another go even so deep in the red...I thought at least a different field but the owner's clearly delusional thinking he still has any trust left in the hardware business

If the suppliers in this industry are anything like the suppliers in the construction industry they'll whore themselves out to the reincarnate without skipping a beat and it will be business as usual.

Stupid as it sounds I see it happen all the time in my industry, these dumb asses keep getting burned and they keep extending credit. ABC 2015 is going out of business, you owe us tons of money but you need credit for your new company ABC 2018? Not a problem how much do you need? We want to be your go to supplier.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that's what happens in the construction industry in this day and age. Real estate is huge, construction is necessary. I'm sure suppliers would not have any issues taking a gamble like that.

www.ncix.com is down, that was anti-climatic, no apologies to customers, no nothing lol

^ dang, i didn't realize it wasn't up anymore.

side note, i don't understand why people expect someone to say "thanks for yrs of business" or "sorry we are filed for bankruptcy"

Company (eg// NCIX for sure went down to next to nothing, staff wise; accountant, and a few family members + some core staff. I doubt anyone even know how to access corp website anymore.

They should have at least sold the domain name, could have at least made some money back on that given the number of traffic they were getting.

Works just fine for me...

It was definately down the other day, looks like they've brought it back up today.

kinda scummy to leave the website available to order things for months and months when they know very well they can't fulfill jack

already posted my reply to that 'why bother to say thanks' sentiment few pages back

if they can't access the website, they can easily write a public post on Facebook

Ncix just got replaced with Canada's computers at Lansdowne

Lansdowne is getting entirely re-developed starting before 2020 anyway... probably got the lease for next to free.

Pretty sure that's not the case. They'll be building in all the parking lots before the mall gets torn down.

As well, T&T is moving in next summer... not like they spend 1 year to renovate the zellers/target store for 2 years of business.

proof?

TNT is coming in so I doubt this will happen.

I thought it was still in the proposal/application stage

Thats what i thought too when i saw this.

24 towers planned for Richmond's Lansdowne Centre redevelopment | Daily Hive Vancouver

Not sure how good it is being vanshitty buzz,

They have to be approved still and with the new airport expansion who knows (Cause height restrictions)

I dont see this happening for at least 10 years imo

Someones gona get rich

Store Locator - Canada Computers & Electronics

looks like 2 of the west stores are open for business!

They don't need to close to construct a little city there. Did Brentwood mall close when they re-did that entire area? Nope...

Go by Lansdowne and read the billboards at the outer edges of the parking lot. Ask the retailers in the mall, all the small stores are getting the boot as their leases come up. I've lived in Richmond my whole life and next to Lansdowne for the better part of 14 years.

Same with Richmond Centre, the entire Sears parkade and Sears building is being torn off the mall and turned into towers.

Richmond has always had a restriction on all towers, not necessarily even because of the airport (though that is a factor) but also the ground doesn't support anything more than ~15 floors (will appear as a 17 floor building due to China not liking 4th or 14th floors). Not sure why someone even brought that up as a potential factor against this happening.

I thought they banned bypassing floor numbers because of issues w/ the fire department? Or was that only City of Vancouver?

If only they did that for Richmond, some cheap real estate to be had on those floors :awwyeah:

Which other stores do you guys use for purchasing computer related parts? NCIX was my go to because it was everywhere.

Memory Express?
