    Horrible customer service, delays and condescending salesmen

    WHAT A NIGHTMARE! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! Their salesmen are rude and condescending, they don't help you once the sale is done, they lack honesty. It has been a HORRIBLE experience. I went to check on my delivery at the beginning of October and one salesman (not the superstar we dealt with) told me to say a prayer that the wind will blow the right way so that the ship won't be delayed more. WHO SAYS THAT! THE PRICES ARE NOT BETTER THAN ANY OTHER LARGE CHAIN. LARGER CHAINS HAVE MUCH BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE. STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!!!

    Purchase and return of kitchen stove

    We bought, from Canadian Appliance Source (CAS), a downdraft Kitchen Aid stove to replace our aging downdraft Jenn Air stove. Our salesperson led us to believe that the stove would fit/be compatible with the downdraft vent in our kitchen. This was not the case, and the installation contractors (Quick Contractors) said installation was impossible in our kitchen design. We then discovered from CAS that they have a 25% restocking fee on returns ….. we were never told this during the sales process …… the restocking fee was $800 (and we also paid $100 delivery fee each way, and $100 fee to Quick Contractors). . CAS would not offer any credit on future purchases, so we paid $1100 for nothing! We would NEVER think of using this company again, and recommend everyone stays away from them.

    Thank you for your review. If you have the opportunity, please reach out to our Customer Care team at cs@caslp.ca to provide your order number so that we may address your concerns directly. Our exchange policy is listed on our website and is also included on the invoice that is provided to you at the time of sale. We also send the specifications for all appliances on your order 24 hours after your purchase so they can be reviewed for accuracy. It’s the customer’s responsibility to ensure they are purchasing the correct products for their needs. We also review each case for return individually and once it’s confirmed this was the sales representative's error, we waive any type of penalties.

    BEWARE: 25% non-refundable deposit taken and then they don’t care

    CAS claims their deposit policy is “industry standard”. This is a not true. 5-10% fully refundable deposits are standard. Full refunds from other retailers are given until the appliances are delivered. CAS was unable and unwilling to arrange delivery to me despite promising they could accommodate my condo delivery policies that I outlined to them prior to the sale. They have kept my $700 deposit and have not delivered the appliances. Obviously they have no incentive to deliver since they have my $700. Please do your research before even considering doing business with this company. If there is ANY problem with your order/purchase, CAS will do nothing to correct it. Their customer service staff are condescending and dismissive. They tell you if you don’t like their policies then cancel your order. Of course they keep your 25% deposit. THIS IS A CORRUPT BUSINESS.

    Answer from pro:

Our 25% re stocking fee is case by case basis our returns team look into this accordingly. We do regret to hear you are not satisfied we can escalate this with our resolutions team if you want to email them at resoultion@caslp.ca. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Kind regards CAS

    Terrible company- poor business practices

    CAS has not processed refund after picking up order. So now they have the item PLUS my money. This is a terrible business practice. Do no do business with them

    No customer service whatsoever, as soon as you sign the rep is no longer responsible

    pickup of my old unit was included as well as delivery of the news one. Exactly the same size. When the deliver guys showed up they claimed they could not take it up the stairs and refused to do the delivery or the pick up. did mesure anything, just didn't fell like it I guess. Corbeil electromenager , from which I then went to buy the samething the following week. did the delivery and pickup without a problem in 10 minutes. to this date, Canadian Alliance refuses to reimburse for the delivery when THEY are the ones that refused to do it on the spot and where I have proof that it was easily done by another supplier. horrible customer service AVOID at all cost, not worth the savings.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear your delivery was not completed successfully. The delivery company that we use strives to ensure all deliveries are completed safely with no damage to the customer’s property. Based on the information in our system, access to the old appliance was being blocked by some pipes in your home. This prevented the team from being able to remove the old unit and replace it with the new unit. We provided the opportunity for you to make arrangements to ensure accessibility to the area. You then requested to cancel the order which we obliged and provided a full refund on the appliance plus applicable taxes. The delivery fee is non-refundable as we use a third-party company and as stipulated on the delivery confirmation it’s the customer's responsibility to ensure their space is properly prepared before the delivery team’s arrival.

    Promised Delivery Date

    Bought a complete kitchen package and was told that everything would be delivered in 3 weeks. Perfect timing as we were doing a complete kitchen reno. Now I'm being told that the built in beverage center won't be in for 6 weeks, well after the reno should be complete. I will have to pay the kitchen guys extra to come back. All other retailers have the fridge in stock and ready for delivery but CAS doesn't seem to care.

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your new beverage fridge has been put on backorder for longer than expected . Unfortunately due to the global circumstances we are experiencing longer delays than normal with our manufacturers. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Kind regards CAS

    Kitchen ventilation hood

    One of the worst company to deal with in terms of return policy , even the product is a little bit cheaper , if the product is defective they will tell you to deal directly to the manufacturer and you cannot take it back to the store until you deal with the manufacturer which tells you they covered only the parts and you have to pay for the technician labor and my product was still brand new just over 1 month when I bought it .And still when I fill up the return and exchange on line , they say my request has been declined even though I never used the product.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for your review. In researching your order in our system, I see that the ventilation unit was delivered to you on September 19, 2019, and the issue mentioned above was reported to us on October 24, 2019. All our appliances are covered under a 1–year manufacturer’s warranty so all functional issues are handled by them. On the Return Request form you completed, you indicated that the appliance was installed/used and as such, we referred the case directly to Thor. I trust that since that time you have communicated with Thor and they have provided you with further assistance in this regard.

    Terrible

    Expedited white glove service it was not. Despite paying a premium company delivered late and didn’t complete install. Would have sent product back but would have cost 250 in restocking fee

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear you were not satisfied with our delivery services. Please know all appliances need to be uninstalled before our delivery team arrive as our delivery team cannot uninstall any appliances. If any old appliances are left installed when our team arrive then unfortunately they cannot complete the installation. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Kind regards CAS

    Horrible resolution service

    We bought 6 appliance through CAS. One from Toronto, the other 5 from Stoney Creek location. Our stove has stove broke 3 times in 12 months. I worked with GE first 2 times which was a nightmare. No help from CAS at ALL. Nothing. Never again

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Customer, We regret to hear that your appliance has a functional issue. Please understand that CAS is an authorized retailer, and we receive all of the appliances we sell directly from the manufacturer in their original packaging. The packaging is not removed until the appliance is presented to our customers. Therefore, CAS does not perform Quality Control testing on any of the appliances we sell. This is done by the manufacturer during the production process. As such, there are times that an appliance may experience functional issues shortly after purchase and as it is a functional issue, it falls under the manufacturer's warranty. In cases like this, the manufacturer provides CAS with very specific guidelines on how to proceed. This will almost always include having the manufacturer send out a technician to assess the appliance. The technician's report is provided to the manufacturer who then determines whether or not they feel as though the appliance can be repaired or would need to be replaced. You do have a one year manufacturer warranty, any issues with your appliance in the first year need to go through the manufacturer directly. We do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Kind regards CAS

    Refrigerator Purchase

    The product (a refrigerator) was delivered as promised. I was concerned I was being sold a display model as no one else had a new in box product. I was told it was new in box and I did receive a new in box product as promised. After I paid on line and got the electronic invoice, I noticed that the sales was final which I wasn't told over the phone. Also, I was somewhat concerned when I saw on the invoice that if there was a problem with the delivery such as damaged goods or any other delivery problem CAS had no responsibility and I had to resolve it with the delivery company. I found this to be unsettling based on my experience with other companies. So, I kept my fingers crossed. It turns out that the delivery company is one of the best that I have seen - their systems for tracking was one of the best and I was kept updated on the progress of the delivery the entire time. The delivery staff were knowledgeable and assisted in removing the fridge doors to get it through my kitchen doorway. I am hesitant to purchase from CAS again because of their relinquishing responsibility on the delivery - I purchased the product from CAS and I don't want to deal with a third party. It's THEIR delivery service not mine. I would have given a much higher rating but for four things (1) not told the sales was final; (2) third party delivery with no assumed responsibility by CAS ; (3) a 20% restocking fee which is non-negotiable even if the product hasn't left the warehouse - a 10% fee based on certain circumstances would be more reasonable. Before I purchased the fridge from CAS I purchased the same fridge (a display model) from a big box store which I was able to cancel with no penalty. It seems that CAS is all business with no customer sensitivity; (4) another thing I learned is if they sold me a fridge and the next day they reduced the price they are firm on the previous selling price. No other major company I've dealt with is that inflexible.

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that you were not fully satisfied with your experience at CAS, please know we do use a third party delivery service. All sales are final, we are sorry this was not advised to you at the time of purchase. We have re assessed our restocking fee this has recently been updated since your delivery. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We appreciate your feedback and will be sure to express this with our team. Kind regards CAS
