Ok in MY store there are no HP printers, no Samsung monitors, (both supplied by the same company) no Flash drives, very few components, Hard Drives, and poor new software, low ink stocks. We have 2 gondolas temporary filled with printers to make it look like we do not have empty shelves. We are 10% down on last year despite having been in the top 3 stores nationally. No BS, no bias.
However Laptop runs are full with the new Q1 range, and desktops are ok but its mainly last years non sellers. Some of this is quite normal after Christmas, but definately not low stock on their best margin products, and they never normally run out of low margin stock like printers.
Plenty of **** stuff though like Lexmark. (but only the DsGi exclusive stocks)
