Thread: Canadian Tire Complaints on facebook - People Hate Crappy Tire!

Julie R.: Do not buy any Yardworks products ! Talking from personal experience....never again!

I just LOVE the was the CT spam keeps back-firing ... And knowing that CT has to pay Facebook to get all this bad publicity! LMAO!


Guru G.: I just wanted to thank Canadian tire for having a Facebook page that shows up on my feed as a suggestion, because it's been non stop entertainment to see all the people's comments, haha! I as well have been burned by Canadian tire and thus find this funny and comforting to know that many have gone thru the same.

Is there an echo in this forum?


Alan Y.: I love this, seems like this attempt to advertise backfired. I'd love to see Canadian tire go bankrupt, they don't deserve to use "Canadian" in their company name.

Catherine S.: I purchased a Microwave that ended up to be defective. I returned the Microwave to the store in the original box with the receipt. Since the purchased was over the 3 month mark i was told I could exchange it for another Microwave which I declined. I was not given a return of money in the ways purchased it, nor a gift card. I was told because it was past the 90 day period I could purchase something of that value today. There was nothing I needed nor wanted that day. I was told it was their policy and yes I would have to keep coming back to see if there was anything I would like to exchange it for. In the meantime I would have to keep the Microwave at home or in the car until I saw an item or items that i would like to exchange it for. I was amazed at this return policy as it used to be very reasonable at one time. Needless to say I purchase products from companies that have a good and consistent return policy just in case I have a need to use it.

CT sucks at ... tools:


Don H.: I have been buying tools at Canadian Tire for years however have stopped doing so I. The last couple of years because of the change to obviously poor quality products. I know it is a competitive world but the quality now in something as simple as a pair of pliers is horrendous. I truly hope this is a short term trend.

Here's a new way to rip off customers:


Dave G.: biggest RIP OFF scaming warranty policies of any store I have ever had to deal with. if you buy a big ticket item on sale there you`ll gets screwed if it has to go back. "no sir you only paid $219.99 , and its back to reg price $399.99 so we wont exchange it, but heres your refund in the form of a gift card" After spending thousands annually there, they will NEVER get a penny frm me again. If you`re a big asshat, then apply for a job there at customer service (very loosely used term there btw) they might hire you, seems that's who work that desk.

Good insight on the f/b page:



Christina W. M. : My mother in law always called it canadian trash.Now I knoe why!

This guy captures the picture very well:


Scott M.: A very, very poor merchant who obviously feels, like Eaton's once did, that they have a right to Canadian's business. Inventories often look like a dog's breakfast and only recently has their refund policy approached the level other merchants established in the 1980's


They feel "that they have a right to Canadian's business"!

So true!

And Crappy is so wrong!

Stephen S.: i too have no respect for canadian tire. Tools and hunting staff isnt even old enough to hold a sledgehammer or a knife. i bought a knive from their the last time and it didnt even come with a box or the sheathe and they refuse to take it back because it has no box or sheathe. Im not even going there anymore i feel like im on a prank show. im Aprenticing to be a millwright and over my lifetime will spend thousands on tools, but when i go in and ask if you have any steel rulers with thousands of an inch indicators on them or verniers or micrometers the staff just gives me a dirty look snear no and go back to talking. took the staff half an hour to play who has the key aswell when i wanted this knife. Canadian tire will not be receiving any further business from me or any of the tradesmen i work with or are able to tell about this joke like service.

It's not just a few of us who think the Facebook Spam Campaign is a fiasco:


Michael L.: Interesting read; going on Social Media may have been a mistake for CTC, now it's giving all it's consumers a chance tell there stories about the various stunts ctc have done. This must be a full time fire fight to put out all these fires.
