I
recently
encountered
a
highly
frustrating
experience
with
this
store.
On
Day
1,
I
placed
an
online
order
with
Rona
Canada
through
this
store.
On
Day
2,
I
returned
to
the
store
for
a
price
match.
Swetha,
at
the
return
desk,
informed
me
that
the
price
match
had
to
be
conducted
online.
Due
to
the
long
weekend,
she
advised
me
to
return
after
two
days
on
Boxing
Day.
I
found
it
surprising
that
the
online
department
had
to
handle
the
matter,
considering
I
made
the
payment
at
the
physical
store.
Day
3:
On
Boxing
Day,
I
revisited
the
store
and,
after
explaining
the
situation,
CSR
Prabhpreet
Kaur
informed
me
that
she
had
submitted
the
online
price
match
request,
validated
by
manager
Jaclyn.
She
assured
me
that
the
online
customer
service
would
confirm
the
details
within
a
day
or
two
via
email.
Day
4:
The
next
day,
I
received
an
email
from
Rona
Customer
Support,
CA
-
Michael,
instructing
me
to
return
to
the
store
for
the
price
match.
I
informed
him
that
I
am
not
willing
to
go
to
that
store
and
requested
him
to
cancel
the
order
and
refund
the
amount.
After
a
series
of
email
exchanges,
Michael
eventually
informed
me,
"I
stopped
the
order
with
the
manufacturer,
and
tomorrow
will
sort
things
out
with
the
store.
Once
the
order
is
ready
to
be
refunded,
I
will
let
you
know.
"
Day
5:
I
received
an
email
update
from
Michael
the
next
day,
stating,
"I
have
spoken
with
RONA+
N.
Scarborough,
and
they
are
ready
to
refund
your
order.
"
Later
that
evening,
I
visited
the
store
and
met
Tenzin.
She
then
contacted
Munty,
presumably
the
head
cashier,
who
attempted
to
process
the
refund
but
encountered
difficulties.
Subsequently,
I
spoke
with
Manager
on
Duty
Rahman
and
provided
him
with
a
detailed
explanation.
He
expressed
dissatisfaction
with
how
things
were
handled
and,
after
a
thorough
investigation
with
Munty,
revealed
that
the
online
cancellation
department
had
made
an
error
during
the
order
cancellation
process.
The
cancellation
document
lacked
a
barcode,
preventing
them
from
processing
the
refund.
They
were
actively
addressing
the
issue
with
their
IT
department.
Rahman
assured
me
that
he
would
oversee
the
resolution,
and
once
resolved,
someone
would
contact
me,
eliminating
the
need
for
me
to
return
to
the
store
and
repeat
the
same
story.
Later
that
evening,
Munty
called
me
to
convey
that
the
issue
had
been
resolved,
and
I
could
visit
the
store
at
any
time
to
receive
the
refund.
Day
6
:
The
next
day,
I
returned
to
the
store
and
encountered
Vicshana.
She
seemed
aware
of
the
issue
and
promptly
initiated
the
refund
process.
However,
to
my
surprise,
she
inquired
about
the
reason
for
the
refund.
Once
again,
I
found
myself
narrating
the
entire
story.
Instead
of
expressing
any
remorse
or
offering
a
formal
apology,
she
opted
to
defend
her
colleague's
mistakes.
After
five
visits,
investing
a
significant
amount
of
my
valuable
time,
energy,
and
fuel
costs,
I
received
my
refund
in
a
manner
that
was
notably
unprofessional.
Following
that,
I
reached
out
to
Michael
via
email
and
requested
him
to
escalate
these
events
to
RONA's
higher
management.
On
January
2,
2024,
he
confirmed
that
he
had
provided
an
explanation
of
the
situation
to
the
appropriate
parties
and
advised
me
to
wait
1
to
3
business
days
for
a
response.
Come
January
7,
2024,
an
individual
from
the
Scarborough
Rona
+
store
left
a
voicemail
on
my
phone,
expressing
the
intention
to
discuss
the
order.
However,
I
had
little
inclination
to
call
back
and
reiterate
the
same
narrative
repeatedly.
Instead,
I
anticipated
an
email
conversation,
which
unfortunately
did
not
materialize.
Throughout
this
challenging
experience,
I
genuinely
appreciate
the
eagerness
to
assist
and
the
professionalism
displayed
by
CA-Michael.
I
also
commend
the
professionalism
demonstrated
by
MOD
Rahman
and
Munty,
and
I
appreciate
the
courteous
dealings
of
Tenzin.
I
believe
that
Swetha,
with
a
particular
emphasis
on
Jacklyn,
Vicshana,
and
the
online
cancellation
department,
should
be
held
accountable
for
the
apparent
errors
and
unprofessional
conduct.
I
advise
against
recommending
this
store
to
anyone.
