“In the last two months have had two bad dealings with Rona at Park and Tilford in North Vancuver. The firs one was early November 2024. My wife and I went in to buy a new freezer. We found one bought and paid for it. When we got home we got a call saying they did not have it and tried to upsale us. We cancled the order. Then on Oct.3,2024 I went back to the same Rona looking for a new dishwasher. Once again found one, bought and paid for it including delivery, installation, and removal of the old one. The delivery date was set for Oct.9,2024. On Oct.8 I received a call from Rona to reschedule. I told the person that I would not reschedule as the installers were all ready booked and paid for, as well as I had booked the 9th off of work to be home for the delivery. I was told our dishwasher was still in Calgary and it was impossible for the delivery. I responded that it is not my fault and they need to fix this. I was then told if I didn't like that I could talk to the manager. I said fine put your manager on. I was promptly disconnected. I tried calling back to there customer service 28 times. Of those 28 times the phone was answered 5 times. Of those 5 times three were to the appliance department which were not answered. One was to the store manager where I left a message. After about 2 hours I tried again asking not to be transfered but to have the store manager paged, after several minutes the phone was again disconnected. Finally I was so frustrated I drove down to the store. Once there I asked customer service for the store manager. About 5 minutes later the customer service rep comes back and tells me the store manager is on a conferrence call. A few minutes later a floor manager appraoches me to ask about my problem. I explain everything to her. Her reply was I should email head office. I asked for the order to be cancelled and our money refunded. She agreed but was very indifferent, did nothing to try and remedy the problem and make a customer happy. As for the stoe manager it seemed to me he just wanted to avoid the whole situation. And has not even returned my call. To me he is a lousy manager and a coward to hide in office and let his employees deal with the problems he should be. I will never shop or step foot in Rona again. And they got a one star rating only because I could not give them zero.”

“Although it has been a couple of months, my wife and I still feel compelled to rate Bev in the Garden Section at the Ancaster Rona store. Bev was pleasant, professional, patient, very informative and accommodating with our needs and our concerns. She educated on a few topics that we were ill informed on in the past. If every store had a human “Bev” in every department, there would not be the lack of Customer Service that is so prevalent in so many industries. Thank you, Bev!!!”

“Purchased an over the range microwave from Rona Heartlake branch in Brampton. Paid $150 for installation.Rona has contracted subcontractors to do the installation.My installation was done very unprofessional and the installation completed in less than 20 minutes with just 1 support at the base,did not use 3 parts of the installation brackets which came with the microwave.A gap is left between the wall and microwave. Very unprofessional,no training in proper installation and no clean up.”

“Rona has been our go to store for the last few months as we are renovating our home. We want to express how helpful your sale associates are. Jay in plumbing and toilet and Barb in blinds. Their knowledge and expertise on item was a bonus. They are so friendly and always helping us find what we need and more. The staff at Rona Ira Needles has helped us above and beyond. Highly recommend Rona to all my family and friends.”

“I’m so disappointed in the installation service From Rona+ Kitchener ON. I bought a Range hood and paid for installation, I was assured that the installation team will let me know within 48hrs when they’ll come by, one week later and after several calls from me, Rona+ Kitchener gets back to say, the installation will happen the next week. Just now I got info that the installation won’t happen for another week because the drivers car is bad! Two weeks of waiting to get a range hood installed and still no resolution. I wish there was a rating less than a star, I certainly would have clicked on that one! Uzor Enwesi”

“Worst customer experienced that I've ever experienced in consumer goods. I bought a gazebo in July, 2023. In March 2024 the roof crushed. The gazebo had a 1 year warranty. I filed a warranty claim and the customer service said they were contacting the manufacturer. Now it's 5months out and no word. I wrote several follow up emails but no response. The store could not help. Please do not buy the gazebo by Roth + Allen, not worth your dime. Not sure if I'll return to Rona to buy anything that has warranty again. I have proof of what I wrote, I have email chains and all, credit card statement, the receipt ink has disappeared.”

“First pair had no sole after 5 months, and I slipped in damp conditions. Second pair had a big hole after 4 months. Spent pictures and all I was offered was a 10% discount. Really disappointed and wouldn't recommend.”

“Went to your store on Panet Road in Winnipeg to return a ceiling register on a Saturday. Bought the wrong one and took it back and the minute my boyfriend and I walked into the store we were asked how can we help you. We said we were here to return a ceiling register. The sales clerk gave us our refund in like 4 minutes and we were out of there. As my boyfriend and I were walking to our car we looked at each other and said what just happened. We have never gotten a refund that quickly. All I can say is Thank You Rona for your great customer service, which is lacking in so many stores today.”

“I think Rona plus is not all that good? I bought 100 foot hose two months ago didn’t think about hanging onto the receipt and fell apart so I took her back to the store. Told him I didn’t have the receipt couldn’t tell him what date that I bought it because it was two months ago in June And they said they couldn’t return it so that means the return policy is not all that great Besides, trying to hold onto a receipt from two months ago, it would be faded by now”

“I purchased a washer and dryer from Rona. I live in a condomimium building. The salesman told me delivery will occur between 12-3. I booked the service elevator in my building for this time. The day prior to delivery I received an automated message the delivery is now scheduled between 2-5. Another person in my building had booked the service elevator between 3-6 that day. I have my washer and dryer, however it was such a stressful experience. If you live in an apartment or condo don't use their delivery service. It's not even Rona, they use another company for their delivery service.”

“I purchased an appliance for our cottage online and chose the delivery date online. The only date available meant we had to remain at our cottage a day later than planned. The store called and confirmed the day. The day prior to the delivery I received an automated confirmation of the next day delivery and arrival window which was late day/evening. Despite all the confirmations the item was not delivered and there was no communication of any problems. Customer service automated answering said they were closed and I had to go online to reach an agent by chat. Eventually I was told that the store did not receive the item for delivery from the warehouse. However the delivery company called at 10:30 pm after we had left the premises to say they could deliver by 11 pm. The store manager called the next day and said the delivery driver ran out of time. Because of the missed delivery I told the customer service agent, the store manager and the delivery company to cancel the order and refund my money. This was not done and I have had to open a dispute with PayPal to try and get my money back. This demonstrates incredible lack of competence by managers and contractors, complete failure of any communication by Rona and generally a complete lack of any reliable customer service by Rona. I will never purchase anything from Rona ever again.”

“We special ordered Levolor Shades at Rona in Pickering and had the pleasure of Cindy to help us with them. She advised us on which product was best for us; sent an installer to take exact measurements; and advised us when Levolor was going to be having a discount promotion on these shades. in total we ordered shades for 5 windows. When the shades were ready for installation, Eddie ( installer ) did a great job installing them. The largest shade had a slight buckle in it and we waited a week or so, to see if this would work itself out. The shade in question did not improve, so Cindy advised us to take a picture of it and send it to her. Cindy dealt with Levolor and in turn they made us another shade. Cindy followed up with them and arranged the new shade to be installed. Eddie installed the shade and everything is great now. Thankyou for your exceptional service Cindy! Cindy is an asset to Rona and works tirelessly to do her best for customers. Eddie is a great installer and is also very pleasant to deal with. Sincerely Doug and Joy Pickering”

“What have you done to the Cisco paint? In the past I was happy with this product. This time after purchasing the bath and kitchen and the endurance brand I’m am disgusted with the results 2 coats and the original beige wall is still showing it I also purchased the top quality brushes and rollers for application. It was like applying drywall drying too quickly, blotchy not adhering to the wall the coverage was double the amount used to paint this area previously Going to another brand in hope to correct the finish”

“Went to paint department the lady there was very rude and condescending Label on can I brought in was rained on and I was told probably five times to take a picture She would say that’s why we don’t leave can in rain that’s why we take a pic of label !!!!! Quite rude and treated me like I was stupid . She did not even try to make out the label even tho I said you can see the numbers We both then proceeded to guess the colour through the colour tags . We picked the wrong one and she blamed me !!! She called the manager The manager made out the proper one that I needed because he took the time to look at the old label . But because she blamed me for the first can I was then told I would be charged an extra 10 dollars because of the misstint . At this point I was so upset at the situation and how I was being treated I just paid and left .i will not be returning to this store . This was at the rock wood store in Teulon”
