Posted by gord1961 on August 20th, 2010

I had the repair department of the St, Catharines Future Shop store actually go in and remove my hard drive and have it destroyed.

I agree “Future Shop Sucks”

Posted by danushka on July 29th, 2010

I tried to buy a dishwasher in May at a Future shop store on the south shore of Montreal. I was told by the sales person it would not be available until June 24. In early July I called to inquire if I could buy it from a store closer to my home. [...]
