I will agree with certain points, but try and remember that most retailers wouldn't survive if they failed to mark-up their goods at least 50%. Most grocery stores will look for a mark-up of at least 25 points. They have to, along with other incentives and promotions. "If you want us to carry...

I know it's frustrating to say the least. The real dilemma with the way some companies operate, is that they don't stand behind some of their products, and they should. If you sell it and make a profit, you should stand behind it. You should have a relationship set up with your suppliers that...

"By the way, mom and pop shops do not run the Canadian economy.....most of the one's that are left, are older baby boomers with little chance of a succession plan....not to many takers of an unsustainable business model that has to charge a premium over major retailers. The vast majority just...

Better check the website once again wise one. As far as me making a poor buying decision, you are absolutely correct. As a customer we often make those mistakes. You should also realize that the customer makes up the most important part of this partnership with any business. The customers will...

You can call it whatever floats your boat. My neighbours, not to mention, my own family have seen this machine in action, or lack thereof. As far as the website. Look for the model priced at $699.00. Yardworks 24" 208cc. You will notice that under features, spec's, or the buying guide, it lists...

David, My apologies. I didn't see your post earlier. I appreciate your kind words of support. It's very much appreciated. Have a terrific day-you've made my day. Stay well and safe. Best Regards, Gizzard1959

That's right buttercup, you still believe in Santa Clause, and a place called OZ...I get it. Well, I'm sure you and your career (HA HA) at CT will be very happy together. Hey, doe CT give you guys a discount when you purchase their crap?

Listen up Junior. I have lost and spent more money than you will ever make. And yes, with providing my customers a well invested service and product, they did stand behind me on many occasions. I have my receipt, and it was just purchased (Jan 6, 2011), and yes, they don't suggest on their...

It's the responsibility of a retailer when I suggested that I wanted it to clear the end of my driveway after the plow dumps the shit after a pass. I didn't have time to do any real research, as these items were priced to clear, and the second of these three blowers was also being sold. 100%...

The problem is that very few people stand behind their convictions. Companies such as CT offer bad service to some, and they continue to shop there. The only way for these idiots to feel the pinch is for all of us who have received bad service, is to stay away and give our hard earned dollars to...

I recently purchased a snow blower, Jan 6, 2011. The Yardworks model I purchased is a piece of junk. It doesn't blow the light snow, let alone the wet and heavier stuff. CT advertises on their website and fails to mention that this particular model will only blow 4 to 6 inches of light and...

I just recently purchased a new snow blower from Canadian Tire. Have had 3 storms here in Atlantic Canada, and what I noticed right away, this blower just didn't do what it was mean't to do. It was a good deal as far as price went simply due to it being cleared out due to over stock intended...
