Kind of upset that Gateway Park location is closing in Kitchener

darkice — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:07:03 GMT

I can see why you guys are moving over to the Sunrise Shopping Center, but the Gateway location is just closer to my house. I hate driving to the other side, and the Sunrise Shopping Center is a nutzoid parking lot with all of the (competitor) crazed shoppers.

I guess I have to go to Cambridge now or the Waterloo one which is closer to work, but still....can't you keep both open? I am sure you would still make money.

how to hook up wireless internet to macbook pro?

wilsonka20 — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:16:56 GMT

I've tried almost everything, and really feel like crying right about now...I've got the network set up, but the pro keep saying 'self assigned IP address' and when I run diagnostics it comes up everything passing cept the IP address, and server.. What can I do to fix this...Talked to telus rep and they did nothing because the modem/router combo works on my pc laptop, just not the brand spanking new mac book pro. Is there a simple way to fix this? I've been in prefrences, chose 'using DHCP (think it's what it's called) and it gave me the wrong IP address...

HELP!!!!!

Ps: please low techy terms, I'm simple :)

Availability of Sale Items

bwheeler7 — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:48:54 GMT

The Samsung PN50C8000 plasma is on sale right now and not a single FutureShop store has one. Not only that, I went into the local store to see if the warehouse has some and no, not a single one.

Why have a sale and promote a product that no one can actually buy? Sure, you can't control what the manufacturer produces. However, you can control what goes on sale.

As it turns out, this happened to be the TV I decided to buy after doing a lot of research. My only option was to get the next model down - which was in the warehouse.

P.S. Your web site feedback process results in an error.

Changing Method Of Payment?

chatty_can — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:09:41 GMT

I ordered a product that was on the Labour Day sale on Monday, but my credit card turned up with a problem; so I tried to change my method of payment online. Whenever I go into my order through Order History, I get thismessage:

We are currently processing your order. Your order information will be available for review shortly. Please try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience. (0141)

It's like that for a day! I got an e-mail saying that if I don't do anything within the next five business days, the order will be cancelled! I can't re-order it either because the sale was over yesterday...what should I do?

Anybody have the new ipod yet?

lebstud1 — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:30:08 GMT

I called a F. Shop yesterday and they said they wouldn't have them for a few weeks.....

Maybe the Sept 7th date was when the warehouses would have the product, not the actual stores?

I have a 50" plasma TV. If I buy a wall-mount that supports 32-50" TVs how can I be sure that this particular mount would be enough to hold my TV? 50" TV are different in weight. Does the mount have the max TV weight as well? Thanks!
