Wacom Tablet
Why do companies bother getting rights for a brand if they are not going to bother getting the merchandise? Last night I passed by iCity who are the dealers of Wacom tablets in Kuwait and they didn’t have any tablets available in stock just one which was the display model. The salesman told me they get Wacom tablets only by order and that it takes 4-6 weeks to arrive. What the hell?? I could order the tablet myself from Amazon and have it delivered to me in a week AND it would cost me nearly half the price iCity is charging.
Under normal circumstances I would order from Amazon but I need the tablet in the next few days for a friend and ordering from Amazon is not an option. Does anyone know who else sells them in Kuwait (grey market)? I tried Virgin, Jarir and Hawalli and no one has it.

I’m note really sure if it’s a wacom or not, but once in Hawalli I tried one that looks exactly the same as this one. It was in a shop called “Personal Computer” at Hawalli. In the same complex where there is the fake Best Buy shop, while you’re there, check out best buy too. They might also have it.

MYK I tried best buy and the other stores in the same complex but couldn’t find it. Eureka might be worth a shot.

“Why do companies bother getting rights for a brand if they are not going to bother getting the merchandise?”
They want to be agents of certain products and brands so they can rip off the government in munaqa9at. Most computer agents in kuwait dont give a damn about people like us as long they can secure them selves over priced government contract. of course the mother company doesn’t mind that as long they are reaching their target sales.
