This is the 3rd part of my report on refund policies at Canadian Tire.

3 – Internet Complaints
To compare the various refund policies at major Canadian retailers, I’ve been Googling the following phrase:
canada refund "pressure washer" problem complaint “store name”
So far, I’ve replaced “store name” with “Costco”, “walmart” and “home depot”. Feel free to duplicate my results for the various stores, and now for “Canadian Tire”.
My analysis only involved the first 40 hits (4 screens). 22 of them were complaints about pressure washer returns at Canadian Tire. This site (Canadian Tire Sucks) got several matches, along with Red Flag Deal, Complaints Board, “pissedconsumer” and others.
The other hits were about general consumer information, product reviews and other complaints. There were no complaints about pressure washer refunds from any other retailers besides Crappy Tire.
(Note that the Dick Smyth story came up 3 times, but that was an appliance complaint for Home Depot).
Compared to the other searches, there is a huge difference in the number of complaints for Canadian Tire. No other store had more than a few Canadian pressure washer complaints, and some stores had none.
Next, I’ll report on what I found in the Canadian Tire stores near me. It was also quite interesting.
