Some help for a Non-Canadian needing to buy electrical stuff in Canada :p

A while back I mentioned that my lil bro was doing a years uni in Hamilton, and on saturday he finally flew out

He has 1 year out there, and consequently will need to get himself a laptop and a cheapish stereo once he's got his finances sorted, but he has no idea what stores/sites to use etc so if anyone could give me some links or names that I can pass onto him, he can start trying to fit in


And if anyone has Mako's address so he can go throw some eggs on behalf of me, pm it

www.futureshop.ca

Check out:

Radio Shack
Best Buy
Futureshop

are some bigger-ish type stores

definately don't go to RadioShack to buy stereo's though. Bestbuy and Futureshop are good for that. As for Laptops; it's best to go to computer stores (NOT Compucentre though, big ripoff). Once he's there though, it's best if he talks to people there and asks specifically which stores have the best deals.

Ian, ask him to look around uni and a few stores other than best buy and futureshop, since those are retail stores, i am sure you can find others as well. if he knows any friends there email them and ask them to search for other stores, or either retail stores is the best deal, since they have most of the stuff a little higher than normal pricings.try even

www.pricenetwork.ca

Not sure about hamilton since i never lived out there.

cheers for the advice everyone, i'll get him to read this thread, he doesn't wanna spend an awful lot on them both, just enough to get him by, so obv the cheaper the better

I say get your brother to check out pricenetwork.ca as well or some info on computer stores in Markham Ontario. (tons of good stores here for electronics...)

my favorite electronic store (but bring cash or debit)
www.factorydirect.ca
cheepest electronics in the city....... Spadina and College.
