#4: You can always get a better deal on computer software, equipment, or services by shopping online.

The key word here is “deal”. Sure you can always find a cheaper price if you shop online, but you might actually end up getting the short end of the stick. As with anything in life, you get what you pay for. Companies simply cannot give you dirt cheap prices AND Champaign service.

If you are getting a cheap bargain, chances are you will get very little or NO service after the sale. If something goes wrong, or if you just have a question, you might find out that the “customer service” line only goes to a voice mail box that never gets checked, or that you have to submit questions via e-mail that takes DAYS to return.
