I've been waiting 3 months for a fully-paid for gazebo and they don't respond to emails or phone calls to discuss. Luckily I paid through Afterpay and am getting my money refunded. Don't bother with this BS site they take your money — ITS A SCAM

Not real

I ordered off of Afterpay, never received my purchase. The phone number rings twice and then goes dead. No reply to any emails. They're a scam.

I ordered an arboura week ago. I got a purchase confirmation email immediately. Then few minutes later an email from Route advising it will be doing the fulfillment and delivery for Shop.ca Since that time the tracking on route says "awaiting estimated arrival).

As others have said here, the phone never gets answered. All 4 menu options lead to the same voicemail; saying send an email. I have sent 2 emails to support. But no reply to date.

Come on Shop.ca SMARTEN UP!

Time delays in shipping (getting orders processed to when it is shipped) are long. Customer service leaves a lot to be desired - very slow in responding. Have not been overly impressed with quality of product

Only one-time shop on shop.ca in 2015. Then I returned it but get around $250 store credit which can only be used on this website. I tried so many times to buy something next two years. Not succeed. The stuff was so pricey. This year I found my credit gone. Then I know the poor shop.ca was bankrupt and now under a different owner. So I never get back my money. This is totally a joke. The other joke is that the previous CEO of Shop.ca, Drew Green, is now CEO of the online suit retailer indochino. Skip this one.

Never have hope for shop.ca
March 22, 2018
Updated review

The website is really a joke. If you leave some review on Sitejabber, they said they would like to turn it around. I know it sounds wonderful, right? But the fact is, they just told you that the supplier cancel the order without the explanation. That means they can handle your order whatever they like, but shop.ca are not responsible and has no willing to solve any problem! Give my refund back! I want to stay away from this website forever!

Ridiculous shipping promise

Don't trust what the website promises on the shipping: Leaves warehouse within X business days! That's totally a joke! Nothing happened since I received the order confirmation email. Order received but disappeared forever!

I had a $500 store credit from shop.ca that has disappeared from my account. Customer service told me there was a site upgrade and that they have no record, nor any way to recover any records, of store credit. I had tried to use this credit in 2016 to purchase items, but even after going through the checkout process, I was later notified that the items were out of stock. So, couldn't use the credit when I did have access to it, then wasn't even notified that the credit would disappear, and now it's gone. STAY AWAY.

Order ******* today: order summary page clearly indicated $20 credit applied but when I proceeded to payment, they took out the entire amount without applying the credit. The charge on my online banking does not even show their complete phone number so I cannot even call them! Their FAQs say there is a Cancel Order button that you can use within 30 minutes, but when I checked (yes, within the 30 minutes) it was not there. I emailed and Facebook-messaged them, and if I don't get satisfaction, I guarantee my bank will be in their face with an investigation and reversal of my payment! For anyone interested, apparently a company named Emerge Commerce Inc. operates as shop.ca, shop.us, Buytopia.ca, WagJag and MightyDeals.co.uk. Their address of record is 183 Bathurst, suite 302, Toronto, ON, M5T 2R7. They did actually get back to me within a few days and reversed the charge and cancelled the order. I am sure it's because of my bank-in-your-face promise. Another promise? Never shopping there again!

Returned a watch a couple of years ago that had been an Xmas gift for my wife who decided she didn't like it; I was over the 30 day return limit but was told that I'd receive an account credit that would "never expire". I'd been watching the site periodically since then to find something to use the credit for, but each time I tried to order something I was informed that the item was out of stock after the order had been placed. Last week, I went on the site for the first time in awhile and found an item to purchase, but my credit was no longer there. Was informed by customer service that their computer system had been changed and my credit had been lost. I demanded to "speak" to a supervisor (you can't seem to actually reach anyone by phone) and I'm still waiting to hear back. Lots of better shopping websites out there.

STAY AWAY from Shop.ca
February 28, 2018

Dont order from this site. Never received item and there is no customer service. Still trying to get my money back after 7 weeks. Will contact local news and negative reviews on all social media. If enough complaints, we can start a class action lawsuit.

After several emails to customer service, they won't return any emails. There is no number to call which should have been a red flag right from the get-go. Forced to dispute the transaction with the credit card company! Hopefully, they will play ball.

SHOP.ca lost my credits
February 2, 2018

I had a SHOP.ca credit in my account since 11/2015. They say today there is no record of it due to a loss of computer data. The amount is at least $873.04. Two issues. 1. the loss of data without notifying the owner of the information may be a data breach 2. No plan to rectify the issue of lost credits. Seems like theft to me.

I have a shop.ca gift card I wanted to use for some Christmass shopping. But, there is no way you can do it although there is a place on site to redeem a gift card. When you click on that link nothing happened. I contacted customer service and got a reply after almost a month "Due to the change in management, shop.ca no longer accepts shop.ca gift cards. Sorry for the inconvenience." They also said "We are very excited about this new chapter and assure you that we will continue to provide the premium shopping experience". What a great "premium" experience. This site is a SCAM... STAY AWAY!

7th week update
January 15, 2018
Updated review

My order for my other half's Christmas gift was given a response today! (quick back story. Ordered a irobot Braava from shop.ca on nov 27-17. They stopped replying mid dec)

Unfortunately Olivia said the pants i order in gray have been canceled, my case was closed as resolved... as noted above i ordered an irobot Braava not a pair of pants...
Not resolved at all!

Pulling my hair out. They haven't refunded me any money yet and haven't updated me on what the hell if going on with this order. Very unprofessional, reported this to BBB and the Canadian internet fraud center.

Happy new year all, it is now Jan 2nd and i have sent out several more plees out to support@shop.ca with not one reply since Dec 15th (not much of a reply, "HI Blaine,

Thank you for reaching out, there was a slight delay in forwarding your order to the supplier due to a tech issue.

Your order is being processed by the supplier and should be shipped soon.

Apologies for the delays and thank you for your patience.")

Still sitting in limbo on this reply.

Well i ordered an christmas gift for the wife on Nov 27th (i like being ahead of the game) and i waited 10 days or so and it is still being processed. I reached out to service@shop.ca, a couple of times. I was told it would be processed for shipment very shortly. After 22 days waiting and christmas less then a week away, i can get a reply back... if i was told there was an issue at the start, i would have had more than enough time to order it from somewhere else. Now that item is hard to find anywhere... please help me out Shop.ca id love to give you a positive rating.

The whole point of this site was supposed to be to offer Canadians a wide range of products online, with convenience & free shipping, something hard to come by north of the border. Unfortunately shop.ca has proved to be nothing but a giant headache for customers. This company does not bother responding to your emails. You have to chase them down to get any response. Terrible service, takes forever to ship (if you get it at all), and nothing but endless hassles and excuses.

FRUSTATED_CONFUSED
January 3, 2018

Placed order Nov 24th 2017 for 1 ESSO $100 Card. Initiated a f/u and Olivia reminded of 10-15 business day requirement (Not EBay/Amazon). Sent f/u on Dec 22nd. Received a confirmation that SHOP.CA would reach out to me within 24-36 business hours. No reply as of Jan 2nd. Handed off the issue to PAYPAL. Received a response indicating that digital gift cards were emailed with the link provided? Unfortunately the Tracking Report continues to indicate that the supplier has neither processed or shipped the gift cards!

Okay, I finally got my ESSO Gift Cards... Here is my time-line of what happen. You be the judge!

On November 26,2017. I ordered QTY "2" ESSO Gift Cards. It is suppose to arrive 10-15 business days.
On December 18,2017. I send a first e-mail asking what going on.
On December 21,2017. I send my 2nd e-mail asking the same question.
On December 23,2017. I send my 3rd e-mail asking please give me an reply.
Today, December 28,2017. I decided enough is enough. At around 11AM today, I called my VISA. I put in a dispute on the translation. VISA said I will get refunded. At 12:27 PM, I send an final e-mail to shop.ca asking them to cancel my order and I advised them I called VISA.
Now, Get this. On 2:15 PM today. About 1 and a half hour after my final email, I got my eGIFT cards in my e-mail.
Then at 2:59 PM, some 30 minutes later, I got a reply back from them with this."This was already fulfilled please advise that you saw your giftcard."

I won't even call VISA back to cancel the dispute! To save $15 per $100 and go though all this trouble? I don't know people. You be the judge on this one!

Date of experience: December 28, 2017

If shop.ca see this, please cancel my order! I just got off the phone with VISA. I will be credit it back! I ordered same kind of Gift cards 2 years ago from shop.ca. Never had issues. Fast to response back then, I understand they went though bankruptcy at some point. Whoever took over this business really screwed this up! For people that trying to find there contact number here it is: (855) 474-6722. Good luck looking though there website! Then again, good luck getting anyone to answer the call either! Will never shop here again!
