Memory Express

I’ve spent nearly $ 10,000 at this store. Very happy with all I’ve received and the staff and selection is top-​notch

This store has great sales on sometimes and the staffs knowledge is great! Usually really friendly!
If you need new hardware or software PPP into see these guys and get a great deal!

The service I received from this MemEx location is nothing short of incredible.
I’d called a few places after my laptop stopped charging to see how long a repair would take, and most, including the NW MemEx and the NE location, quoted about 7 – 10 business days. That wasn’t the best news but I kind of anticipated that having had a laptop repaired at the NW location before. So I brought my laptop to the SE MemEx as I was in the area and to my astonishment, they called me no more than three hours later saying my laptop was ready to go. I can’t say enough good things about these folks: unbelievably fast, friendly, helpful… did I mention fast? I would have hugged and kissed them all today for having my laptop back to me so quickly but I’m sure I’d have been tossed out. It’d have been worth it! Thanks guys!

Nice people! Walked in… Since I order PSU they were wondering what’s for. I said my custom rig one died. They see that I also ordered tools since my tools disappeared when I moved in Calgary. Said me if I look for job I should bring my resume. If I have any Certifications. Gladly I am CCNA and A plus… Will bring it. Sometimes it worth to ask for tools and see what kind quality tools he will bring … They know electronics :)

I went into Memory Express with my boyfriend so he could get a quote on a computer he want to have built, and somehow I ended up buying an Asus Transformer.
Tyler was helping us out. I like how he asked me what I was going to use it for and did a demo to show me how the computer handles. He was concious of budget as well, and didnt pressure me into feeling like I needed to make a purchase right away.
Its amazing how much the guys/​girls on the floor know. When Tyler was helping my bf decide what components were needed to make up his quote, he easily described the differences in the types of parts and what was best for the price/​use.
i HIGHLY recommend coming to Memory Express for your computer/​accessory needs.

I buy almost all my gear from Memory Express. I like to put together my own hardware and they’re probably have the best selection at the best price in town. The staff is generally pretty knowledgable but can come off as condescending. Fortunately you can usually trust their recommendations unlike the guys at the nationwide electronics stores.

I have made a couple purchases from Memory Express recently. On the plus side, these are computer people selling computers so they generally know their stuff. Prices also seem to be good and there is no pressure selling like some of the bigger box stores. Their websites is also pretty good in terms of product info and stock availability.
But I have to say, their customer service needs some refinement! When you purchase a product, even the staff rave about their customer service. From the purchasing perspective I would tend to agree. But when you need to make an exchange or return, even within the 7 day grace period, you are met with a wall of negativity. I’ve had to return both of my recent purchases for various reasons, and both times I felt like I walked in to a series of reasons why it wasn’t possible. Even when there were simple solutions to these problems, they made a big display of the problems we would encounter before they agreed that an exchange was warranted.
So if you are lucky enough not to have to return a product from Memory Express, then I think this would be a great place to shop. But considering the bad experiences I’ve had both times I’ve had to take something back… I’m left with a bad taste in my mouth and a real desire to purchase online instead.

Pretty much the only place to go for your computer needs. Through them and a combination of online shops you can save a lot of money on parts. Their replacement warranty program is great too, in the past it has been a breeze to use.

I wish you would open a store in Los Angeles, CA.
If i could I would drive all the way to canada just to go to this store,
I loved how you have a desk of awesome employees to help me find what I’m looking for, In LA, there is not very many options for stores like this, we either have best buy, or fry’s electronics, which is basically a home depot with worse customer service.
Please Open a Store in LA!

I’ve been coming to Memory Express since they were a tiny little counter a few blocks away on 3^rd street. The move to the McLeod Trail location in an old bank was a welcomed sight as they could add the much needed space. Now in this location it’s even better to see the expanded showroom area and gigantic counter with tons of staff to help.
Before I moved to Toronto, this was my go-​to place for computer parts and accessories. I’ve built a few computers with parts purchased here, bought my last laptop here, and even still, when I’m back in the city I always have a reason to come here.
About a week ago my power adapter on my laptop started acting up. As I was coming to Calgary for the holidays I figured I would wait until I got here since I bought the laptop at Memory Express a few years before. Their service staff were great in getting me set up with a new power supply. I was in and out quite fast with exactly what I needed.

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed Memory Express yet!
These guys are the best in the business. As I always tell my friends, it’s the only place I go where I know that the person helping me will actually know more about the product than I do. Not only do they regularly suggest a better item after I explain my specific build but they’re also very good at suggesting other items or methods you may want to try. They are, hands down, the only computer place I go to and trust with all of my purchases.
If you didn’t buy it at Memory Express, you got ripped off.

As a computer technician for a living, I have a huge need of the internet. And for computers. And comics. And movies. And many, many other things.
Memory Express has been my go-​to spot for the last decade. When they opened this location I was amazed at how much bigger, better and brighter it was. You can find nearly everything your little nerdy heart desires. Their prices are very decent and their techs actually know what they’re doing. Perhaps I base that on the majority of «techs» at Futureshop etc not knowing what thermal grease is. Or an anti-​static strap. MemEx employees (Oh yeah for cool shorthand style) know what they are talking about in the majority of cases.
Don’t always trust their recommendations, but trust that they know what a motherboard is. Their site is fantastic for people that know a bit about computers, as it has every spec you’d hope to see about parts to buy. Another added bonus is that many have ratings and reviews for these parts from customers.
The problem is that sometimes you run into the random sales guy that has lived in his mother’s basement for too long and has an arrogant attitude about it. I’ve had this as I had never tried any of a few similar parts and asked if he had or had gotten any feedback. I received a look that said «Are you retarded?» Getting that made me challenge him by testing his true knowledge, and after making him look like a… wait for it… wait for it… legen…dary…n00b I went to the next available salesman, got his opinion (there were no reviews for any online) and walked out happy after telling the owner of the good and bad. I haven’t seen him for many months. YAY!
The owner is always working and is extremely friendly. I haven’t had a problem with the staff since basement boy left and overall you won’t find better prices. Though if you do… they match it. HELL YEAH! That includes online.


etc. Look MemEx up. After a couple weeks of a purchase, the part I bought there was a good $ 50 cheaper than I bought it for and they still refunded the difference. As long as they keep it up, I’ll keep going.
