Got the TD credit card $50 bonus credit for SHOP.ca. Bought 2 items, one of them is out of stock, and they refused to refund the full amount as store credit. Only giving me $1.44. Ridiculous! There are lots of shopping website out there. Why pay for such a negative experience? Shop around first. They charge higher, but with poor service and slow shipping. I bought a belt that they charged $25, but their supplier (merchant partner) even put a price tag in the package saying it actually selling it for $9.99.
Most of the products on this website are over priced. I made the mistake of ordering from them and my order has been processing for a week. I've sent two inquiries through their site to find out when the order will ship and have received no responses. How is this place still in business when Amazon 10 times more efficient? Never again. If I don't hear from them in the next 24 hours, I'm calling my credit card company and cancelling the payment.
Hi Andrew, my apologies for the delay in shipment. Our order chase team reached out to you regarding your order.
I ordered a small guitar in for a Christmas gift. Order was placed November 30, wasn't shipped until December 17, expected delivery is December 30. So much for a Christmas gift, and with all the poor reviews on returns I'm not even going there! This is my first experience with shop.ca
I would stick with other sites.
Hi Nanette, I am really sorry to hear your guitar was not with you in time for Christmas. We are disappointed anytime an order is not shipped on time and are always looking into the cause so we can ensure this does not happen again.
I received a defective Actifry and have been trying for a week to return it. They have washed their hands of this and have told me I have to deal with the supplier. I only want to return this expensive item and don`t want it replaced or repaired since I no longer have faith in the brand. I paid for a new item and certainly don`t want refurbished item bacl. If I had bought this at a local store I could have easily returned it. This is not the case with this website. They wash their hands of you. What a head-ache. I wish I had never purchased from this website.
Hey Manon, really sorry to hear about this! Within the first 30 days of your purchase we are happy to offer a brand new replacement for this type of issue and our Customer Loyalty Team is happy to help.
Ordered a guitar amp for a birthday gift back on October 27th. November 17th and still no idea when it will arrive. Emailed them and get nice apologetic replies but no results. Used my intro discount but will never use them again.
Update: I did finally get an amp. I think it was few weeks later. The support staff was very apologetic and said it was the supplier and I finally agreed on a floor model for a slightly reduced price. ( the unit was fine and is a good product). Still, it was for a birthday and was way overdue when they had said it was in stock.
Hey Wendy, sorry for the frustration! If there are issues with a shipment our Customer Loyalty Team will work with the merchant to provide an update as soon as possible.
(They pay Google to promote these ads to reel you into their website)
They advertise a good deal on a Yamaha keyboard piano so I ordered it.
They send me a cheaper model. I tell them, they say return it for a refund their website was a mistake. After reading other peoples complaints I decide not to take a chance shipping it back and maybe it gets damaged and then I would be without the keyboard and the refund.
Shop.ca is only good if you have a $50 off coupon which I did, so it was still a good deal.
Customer service and shipping was fast.
Hey Joe, we're happy to hear you got a good deal! With our huge selection of products pricing errors may occur, despite best efforts. We offer Free Returns and will provide a prepaid Canada Post shipping label for you to send your item(s) back!
Guy this website is only good if you know how to use it.
Do not shop until you can find a good coupon. I'll tell you what I did.
I wanted to get some headphones and saw that Audio technica m50x is usually 240 but was on sale for 199, and I found a coupon that gives 60 dollars of credit for items above 175 dollars. I ended up paying about 160 tax included. + free shipping.
That price beats everywhere i searched.
Use these coupons I also picked graphic cards from here and guess what I had 60 dollars off of 180 dollar graphic cards as well. I ve worked at retail before and the store does not make money on computer parts and usually when things are on sale they cannot take additional dollars off because store will lose money on it.
All in all, take advantage of sales and coupons and you will get the best deal in canada. For sure!
Thanks for sharing your feedback Tony, giving Canadians a great deal is what we are all about!
I have had a great experience with shop.ca got all my stuff quickly and on time and everything seems to be working Great!
That is music to our ears :)
One month to receive an outdoor furniture set that was supposed to arrive in 5 days.
Another month to have someone pick it up as the set was damaged.
Endless, and I mean endless frustrating hours on the phone struggling to get the arrangements made.
The Shop.ca staff did their best, and I thank them for their efforts, but their hands are tied as all arrangements must be made through the distributor.
Shop.ca is merely the middleman, with no authority or ability to make anything happen should something go wrong.
Got a great deal with a coupon, my order was shipped the next day and was received the day after that.
So I made my first purchase with Shop.ca after finding a discount coupon on the web. I bought a Blu-Ray TV Series Box set Tuesday morning (7AM) and received it today Wednesday (10:30AM). Other reviewers stated customer support or order issues. My order was packaged perfectly and correctly. I am glad I didn't cancel my order after reading all of those negative reviews!
Ordered a t-fal grill. Great price and on time delivery. Arrived in perfect condition. I wouldn't hesitate to use shop.ca again.
I have ordered multiple items from other sites, and have not received one single problem.
Shop.ca has been one of the worst experiences I have encountered and I would avoid them if I were you, unfortunately I did not check the reviews that would of steered me away.
I ordered two pairs of converse size 9 and a half. I received two pairs of size 7's. I received one pair two weeks prior to receiving the other pair and I gave it a try. It was a little bit of grass stain on it but I wanted to return it because I could feel it was too small when I was walking outside.
I just got an email today that they declined my return because of damage. They could of washed the shoe but regardless they made the stupid error, of which, I have never experienced before. If this place was any good I would of been able to keep the size 7 and be shipped the right size.
Awful place, avoid this place even if cost seem to save you $20. It is truly not worth the hassle that will likely occur making a purchase from www.shop.ca
Dont be an idiot... when you select an item do a quick google search, best buy. amazon.ca have way better prices... cant believe they are still in business.
Worst customer service ever! I purchased a set of kitchen pots and pans and it took forever for it to arrive. Upon calling to inquire about the status I was put on hold of course... but it was about an hour long hold. I thought my cell phone was going to run out of battery but I didn't want to hang up since I was in queue and didn't want to lose my place. I was told it was in transit but after a week with no updates or email delivery confirmation I had to call again. The product arrived almost a month later. Very frustrating customer service, will not be doing business with them again.
I am a first time customer of Shop.ca. I must admit I was hesitant to order as there were so many negative reviews. That said - those reviews do not reflect my experience at all. I purchased an infant travel system (car seat & stroller) and could not be happier. It was more than half off the price I was going to pay at other locations, purchase process was easy & efficient, system arrived in a timely manner and product is exactly what I expected it to be. I would absolutely order from them again.
After reading all these negative reviews, I was hesitant to order from Shop.ca. I ordered a pair of shoes on Friday, May 15th, and I already received them today (Tuesday, May 19th) in perfect condition, even with yesterday being a holiday and everything. The package was also easy to track with Canada Post. They stayed true to their 3 day shipping - I live in Ontario just FYI. Not only is the website is easy to navigate, but it offers a variety of products for great prices. I would absolutely order from them again!
With so many negative reviews I feel obligated to share my simple, positive experience. I ordered a pair of shoes on a Monday evening, got the confirmation they had shipped the next day and received them about noon on Thursday of the same week. Would definately buy from here again.
DONT BUY FROM THESE CLOWNS. I am not one to harp or go on these things but needs to be said. Their business practices are shady at best and customer service friendly yes/ helpful NO. Tell you one thing and then say well you should have read the fine print and policies before you ordered. Sorry about your luck but you are out of the 3 days return. Well one product I didnt even receive for almost 3 weeks after ordering. NICE. Anyway SAY AWAY FROM this company and will be happy to see them out of business.
Ignored my emails and then ceased communicating once I complained...
Answer: Hi Sean, You will notice that we are responding to all comments and have now, finally, resumed normal services. Our email response times are within 24 hours and all items are being delivered ina timely manner. The cash back programs are running along with other affiliates and aeroplan deals. As you can imagine, ever since the bankruptcy news, getting stability back was our biggest concern. We are working very hard to win back our customers and vendors because we understand that the faith had dropped. But we want to continue the good work that was being done before. You can also see from our products that we are reasonably priced. Our motto is not to be the cheapest, but to be the most reliable. And we are working towards that. Hope this helps restoring some faith. Regards
Answer: Hey Lindsay, if your item happens to be damaged during shipment please let us know right away and we will absolutely work with our merchant to ensure that a replacement is sent out to you!
