“Ordered the Verona4 light chandelier on the 21st and it was delivered by UPS today the 26th in a box oven batteries box with the styrofoam and the light inside broken. Called the local RONA for a return label and he informed me that there is no such thing! I am to suck up the $247.47 u til Covid is over. Yet Lowe’s and Home Depot take returns!! So Rick that they even shipped this garbage!!”

“Customer service at Rona is absolutely awful and at Lowe's is just as bad. The way they handle returns is so stress inducing, the phone lines are tied up forever, it takes weeks to be able to return anything while you wait to get a UPS label. Their prices are insane!! Never again.”

“There is a TV commercial where a guy doing construction asks another man to hand him something but he can't remember what it's called. You assume he is asking for a tool. It turns out he wants his cup of coffee. It is SO insultingly stupid. I immediately mute it. I can't imagine how someone with dementia would feel. They would probably cringe with embarrassment and hope they don't look so stupid. Please remove this commercial from TV. It is one of the worse commercials I've ever seen and reflects badly on you.”

“went to pick up online order and been waiting for one hour. Fortunately, a worker named David who noticed my waiting time and helped me get my order. Otherwise, maybe have to wait another hour.”

“Like many other customers, I find Rona to be using deceptive business practices. Their online system is completely out of whack with the actual inventory in the store. My opinion is they will say they have it just to get your whole order, then cherry pick what they have and hope you will take it anyway. I'm just starting a $50000 reno and my local Rona (Nanaimo, BC) will get ZERO of that. They have pulled this once too often. Will never darken their doors again - and that goes for parent Lowes as well as suspect they use the same practices.”

“Rona’s customer service needs to up it’s game. Forget the fact that no one ever answers Rona's customer service lines. I have been disconnected from Rona's online support number a number of times and after a wait time . Today I was informed after contacting Rona’s chat number, that the wait for Online Support was 57 minutes. I placed an order yesterday. Fortunately as a Pro customer, my order was ready today. It’s also fortunate I called to inquire because the notice that my order was ready for pick-up wasn’t sent. There is nothing on the Rona site that allows you to inquire about any matter other than two options that were available before the pandemic. I have been trying to order a gallon of Cabot custom tinted deck stain for two days with no success. Rona has had a year and 4 odd months to establish efficient curb side protocol. There is no excuse that answers to a customer service disaster of this magnitude at this point. The pandemic caught everyone off guard but to still be struggling with the basics at this point, is ridiculous and indicative of a lack of will or inclination to step up to the plate.”

“My wife ordered some chairs to be delivered to a store nearby. Unfortunately that store had a COVID even requiring them to close for a couple weeks. We thought that our items may be delayed 2 weeks. When we FINALLY heard from RONA despite numerous efforts, we were told our chairs would be another 10 weeks. We canceled. So be aware that this company is not customer service centred and it is best to order elsewhere.”

“I tried to order a set of washer & dryer online, they took my money and I have not received any confirmation. I contacted them after 4 business days and I could not have answer as anyone was able to see the order. When I finally find someone that seems to be able to help, they informed me that the order was not successful and they will give me the money back. after 1 week still have not got the money. very disappointed”

“Started by looking on line for deckboxes. Found a craftsman deck box drove 60km to purchase 2 of them. Due to covid shopping they brought them out put them in the truck. Put one together go to put something in it. Doesn't fit. Turn out the measurements they give you on line are wrong. Was 6in less then stated. Check on the lowes site they give you the proper dimensions. Needless to say wasn't impressed with the website from corporate. The store itself did a great job during these times”

“Tonight I went to Rona in Kelowna to buy a box fan. I went to the back of the store and a young man named Brandon immediately asked me if he could help me find anything. I told him what I was looking for and he went to a computer and found what I wanted. He took me to the fans but the price didnt match what he'd found online. He said I would get the fan at the lower price. He then went and got a cart, took two fans off the shelf (I was choosing between two)and put them into the cart, then up to the till. He told the cashier about the price difference, took the fan back that I chose not to buy, and then left.I didnt have to do anything! I have never been treated so well in Rona before. Thank you, Brandon, for your outstanding customer service and for just being a kind, caring person! I'll be back!”

“orders are placed and keep getting cancelled. Sometimes its explained as not available items and other times there is simply no explanation. If an order is accepted and the website specifies that the item not available at the store will take 7 to 14 days to be shipped to it from the distribution center I expect that to be so. Apparently all the stores are just trying to sell their own inventory. Their customer service is a joke as the girl that answered seemed to not understand english or french”

“Ordered a dish washer on april 28th, got a phone call from Rona Sainte-Martine the same day and scheduled the delivary with the lady on may 4th. Nothing got home. Called Rona Sainte-Martine that day, the man Stephane told me that the delevery service told them they never got the note, even thow I received confirmation by email. So, that same clerk Stephane rescheduled with them for this Saturday may 8th, he then told me I would get a new confirmation for that delevery. I called them 3 times and they just told me 'We have lots of problems with the shipping department... we have customers who waited 7 months and 1 year before they got there orders'!! I understand the Covid Pandemic, I get that it's no longer as it was before, but START A NEW WAY OF OFFERING SERVICES AND TELL US THE TRUTH!! You cash our money the same day, you tell us the delevery service will be within 72 hours AND CHARGES US FOR THAT SERVICE, but finally we get our stuff several months later... THAT'S A BIG NO GO FOR ME and will NEVER AGAIN BE CLIENT OF RONA, that's for sure... To bad, was going to by thousounds of dollars worth of stuff for renovations, you can be sure it wont be with you!! And be sure that I will spread the word around...”
