“your commercial using the deformed donkey causes me to change the channel instantly. Good PR? I think not. Its borderline bullying. Please lose it. I could say more but language would not be appropriate. I used to really like your company.”

“Please remove the awful tv ad with the poor deformed donkey! It’s so disturbing, why anyone would think an ad like that would want someone to shop at Rona is beyond me!”

“The ad with the donkey is disgusting. It should be removed and destroyed.”

“The recent commercial about “half-ass” is totally disgusting! The donkey is shown as being deformed with tears in its eyes and this is inappropriate . The whole message of this commercial doesn’t even make any sense . It makes fun of an animal - it is tasteless and I change the channel when this commercial is aired. I will not shop at Rona anymore”

“Firstly found it really hard to find someone to help me (and that’s not the first time) then when I did find someone to help me and picked up the plastic piping that I needed for my project I stood for 25 minutes waiting for someone to cut the pipe only to be told we don’t cut plastic piping it causes sparks?? I have tried using this store on many occasions as it is quite local to where I live, but will never go again it’s always a very unsatisfying experience. No one helps you and the staff who do try to help you are badly trained or not trained at all.”

“Went into the new RONA+ (formerly LOWES) at Crowfoot in Calgary to buy a glass patio door and have it installed. Most staff seemed either uninterested or not knowledgeable. Several just walked away. Not sure what's up. Ileft after talking with the manager, when another salesperson I was speaking to just walked away. They need to get their act together, or close up shop. Definitely not the bricks and mortar facility that Lowes was.”

“I oredered a light fixture that arrived with a damaged glass shade. I was told that I only had 3 days to report the issue and I was too late. I really don't think that is acceptable.”

“I really wanted to support a Canadian affiliate but every time I’m in Rona I literally can’t find what I’m wanting and end up going to. Tonight I stopped and had 7 things on my list and not things that were odd or abnormal. I walked out & honestly there’s no chance I’ll go back unless they hire a different purchasing manager!!”

“I was trying to buy Canadian. We don't have many choices when it comes to building supplies. I went to RONA because they used to be Canadian (owned by an investment firm out of New York now) I visited the store to purchase paint for doors and trim, as I was looking for better quality paint than what I had. A clerk assisted me by showing me three options, and I chose the mid-range paint priced at $48, as it fit my budget. While the paint was being shaken, I noticed a sign advertising 30% off SICO Endurance, which would have been a better-quality paint at a lower price of $42. I asked the clerk if I could switch to the discounted paint (she should have known about the sale). To my surprise, the manager refused to allow the switch because tint was already added to make it white. I ended up purchasing the original paint because I needed it for my project, but I left the store feeling disappointed and frustrated. This experience has made me reconsider where I shop for my renovation needs. When I got home I sent in a complaint and they offered me 10% off my next purchase. I felt it to be an insult. So I phoned customer service, they offered me a $10 gift card. That at least brought the cost down to the sale price. But I'm still stuck with crappy paint. You would think customer service would be more of a priority during these tense political and economic times. I guess not.”

“Rona in Barrie Mapleview, the customer service is disgusting. I tried to return a product which I was not satisfied with and because it was used and according to them it had no defects, I could not return it. They simply told me that I had to take it back home. Ask for the return policy and they tell me that it only works if the product is damaged or if it is not used and is returned in its original packaging. Do not go to Rona. You will regret it for sure if you have problems with your product, I assure you.”

“Went to the Brampton (Steeles Avenue) to get a sheet of Baltic birch plywood @ almost $100s a sheet I might add, but I needed a couple cuts to even be able to get it own. I commented to the guy that they needed a new blade annd that I wasn’t even sure it was usable with the ridiculous amount of tear out. His comment was that, “yeah, the saw was really dull”. So if you know it. The customer calls it out and you work in a hardware store with blades 100 ft away, why not fix it? Because nobody cares!”

“Travelled 25 minutes pushed in time to buy melamine shelves on sale(only$1 off). Shelf was empty. Bought some other ones and asked for rain check on out of stock ones. Check out person did not know what a rain check was. Customer service said they had some in the warehouse in stock if I wanted to wait until they could get them out. Said “sorry, but I’m too pushed on time” asked for a rain check. Customer service said they can’t give a rain check because they do have some somewhere in stock. Again said I didn’t have the time to wait and had come from the other end of the City to get these. Nope no rain checks Perhaps if you’ve something on special you’d have someone monitor the stock and replace those sold. Thanks Rona I’ll pay full price at Copps.”

“Orderd a cabinet online. A month later, all we get is 'we don't know where your package is. Call Purolator '. Dead end with your shipper. That's not our problem. It's yours! We want our money back, for a product we never received.”

“I ordered a $3000 shower kit to be delivered.December 5th. It's now Dec. 16, and I still don't have it. It's holding up a renovation project that was to be done by christmas. They use Day & Ross to deliver who have proved useless at solving the problem. Never again”

“Ordered online a snowblower. Date of delivery was Nov 23rd. They did not even process my order until Nov 28th with new date of deliver for Dec 2. Late last night they posted weather delay. Not sure how it takes over 2 weeks by ground purolator from Ontario to Saskatewan. Not blaming the courier as it took over a week for Rona to create a shipping label!”

“I ordered online a Greenworks leaf blower . The item was advertised for $67 + tax. Being Black Friday the item arrived the next day to my surprise. However when I opened the package the only item included was the leaf blower and not the battery and charger as shown clearly in the ad photo. I thought that I must have miss read the advertisement and the battery and charger were not included but no there they were as clear as day pictured in the ad. I called Rona to complain and what I got from them was leaf blower only and you can purchase the battery and charger separately. To which I replied no thanks I want what was advertised in the photo .... a Leaf blower and the battery charger. I looked at their ad again and in the description it says something about leaf blower only. Well I would assume that the battery and charger is part of the leaf blower. What good is it without them . The blower by itself is useless without it. It's like buying a car and it has no engine. I spoke to a supervisor and she would not agree that the advertisement though very clear did not include a battery and charger . She then offered me some kind of gift card thinking that was helpful. I replied why wont you just stand behind your ad and picture and that it was not my fault that your had was flawed and disceptive. I then told her that this issue was going nowhere and I'll return the item and not dear with Rona anymore in the future if this is the best that they do for customer service.
