    I'm a notebook noob looking to buy an Asus A8JM. I have had "problems" related to customer service issues in the past when buying from, well, pretty much every computer store I've ever purchased from. I am primarily interested in purchasing from a reseller with a solid customer service record; if the price isn't rock bottom, oh well. I'd rather pay a few bucks extra and order from someone who won't screw me over.

    EDIT: And yes, I have read the newbie thread, I do know which Asus resellers are out there, but suffice to say that at least one of those stores is on my blacklist, so I'd like a little extra advice :)

    I agree... MilestonePc (CanadaSys) is good. He's the only one (that I know of) who even bothers hanging around the forums to help out. That says something about their attitude towards good service.

    for myself, i have always had a positive experience at ncix.com. even tho customer service is a little slow because its always so busy, they do try there best to make you happy and i have always been able to get things there cheaper than anywhere else. if you haggle a little about the price most of the time they will take a little bit more off for you! :)

    Remember that you can save the PST if you order from outside of the province, which is substantial given a notebook's value.

    i just realized i am a reseller myself because i can get products from a wholesaler at about 10% less than ncix and i have a business license... tho i never really bother doing it and just use it for myself. i seriously neverthought about that lol

    Thanks guys :) I'll definitely look into both MilestonePC and NCIX (well, I have already, heh :D ). NCIX is definitely cheaper because I don't have to pay PST, but I'm not ruling MilestonePC out because it would be better service-wise to order from somewhere nearby.

    Hey, wait a minute ... I have a Montreal address I could ship to if I use Milestone so I don't have to pay Ontario PST ... hmm ... and I think it speaks for the fact that PST is too darn high that it would cost me less to make a round trip to Montreal to pick it up than it would to pay the PST.
