    Canadian Tires Policy on returns for open packages

    Unfortunately I need to share something very important about Canadian Tire's return policy. I'm not sure if it was always like this or if they are recent changes, but I'm sure if you are aware you might think twice about purchasing there. They DO NOT accept any returns for open packaging. I...

    consumer relations and suggestions

    I have worked at a CT for 5 years now in western Canada, and I have seen the good service and the crappy. I musy say, the store I work at is quite good at honoring and correcting customer complaints regarding price discrepancies, flyer stock being in stock, rainchecks honored months after...

I had to phone customer service on my cell while standing in front of the assistant "manager" while he was texting his...

    Canadian Tire Sucks at Bicycles - Can't return once assembled, won't stand behind them

    This has been on my mind for a while, and with spring hopefully making an appearance in a few months, we can all help get the word out early! This was posted on Canadian Tire's own Facebook page, on this warm-for-mid-January night (only -5!): Jim Hiebert: Watch out for Canadian Tire! I bought...

    another CT return policy sucks example

    I never will buy anything from CT other than maybe dish soap,garbage bags,etc. They have lost a lot of business from me because of one particular incident that really shocked me. We had bought two Coleman double-height queen air matresses from them (which are not cheap). One of them leaked after...

    Simonize - just another private label??

    After getting stung on a Simonize pressure washer that failed during the warranty, then failed just outside of the warranty (now sitting forlornly in my car port) I am told that CT bought the name for Canada and it's sold only by CT. It was cheap and I guess the name of the crapshoot is 1. you...

    Lately we are hearing more and more cases where Crappy Tire owners and employees have been convicted of violating various laws, such as committing thefts and frauds, and violating various privacy laws. This is both ironic and hypocritical, given the attempts by the Crappy People to portray...

    Fraud to Return Identical Products With Different Receipts?

    This topic keeps coming up in other threads. Maybe it deserves its own thread. In one case, a customer had two identical and unopened items. The Crappy People said it would be "fraud" to return the older item using the receipt from the newer item. However, when asked to provide something to...

    Will Crappy Tire Survive The Coming Competition?

    Crappy Tire's Financial State

    It's good to see some financial information that isn't distored by the Crappy Tire Defenders. It turns out that this "cash only" buy-out of Forzani wasn't really "cash only" after all. Crappy Tire's debt went up from $2.3 billion to $3.3 billion. There was assumed debt and transaction costs...

    CT employee's rudeness

    Being Canadian, we always give the Canadian company the priority over US company when we make our purchase. However, after last week's unplesant experience with CT ( store located at 2900 Major Mackenzie Dr., E., Markham, Ontario ). Now , We find it hard to keep this good intention. We...

    Owners/Managers Seeking Information and Opinions From Customers

    Hi. There isn't a single "Q&A" thread, where the Crappy Tire people can post questions for consumers to answer. I keep seeing these kinds of questions scattered around this site, so I thought it would help if we had one place for them. For instance, "What are the top 20 retailers in Canada"...
