Absolutely brutal on-line service. Ordered planters for parcel delivery. Took 4 days from Rona to let me know that what was supposed to be available is out of stock. Submitted an other on-line order for curbside pick-up a few days ago. Still no follow up Rona on when it will be ready. Called customer service. Got no one live. It's absolutely embarrassing that Rona is a Canadian-owned business. Rona has no business being in this industry.

Ordered the Verona4 light chandelier on the 21st and it was delivered by UPS today the 26th in a box oven batteries box with the styrofoam and the light inside broken. Called the local RONA for a return label and he informed me that there is no such thing! I am to suck up the $247.47 u til Covid is over. Yet Lowe’s and Home Depot take returns!! So Rick that they even shipped this garbage!!

There is a TV commercial where a guy doing construction asks another man to hand him something but he can't remember what it's called. You assume he is asking for a tool. It turns out he wants his cup of coffee. It is SO insultingly stupid. I immediately mute it. I can't imagine how someone with dementia would feel. They would probably cringe with embarrassment and hope they don't look so stupid. Please remove this commercial from TV. It is one of the worse commercials I've ever seen and reflects badly on you.

Like many other customers, I find Rona to be using deceptive business practices. Their online system is completely out of whack with the actual inventory in the store. My opinion is they will say they have it just to get your whole order, then cherry pick what they have and hope you will take it anyway. I'm just starting a $50000 reno and my local Rona (Nanaimo, BC) will get ZERO of that. They have pulled this once too often. Will never darken their doors again - and that goes for parent Lowes as well as suspect they use the same practices.

Rona’s customer service needs to up it’s game. Forget the fact that no one ever answers Rona's customer service lines. I have been disconnected from Rona's online support number a number of times and after a wait time . Today I was informed after contacting Rona’s chat number, that the wait for Online Support was 57 minutes. I placed an order yesterday. Fortunately as a Pro customer, my order was ready today. It’s also fortunate I called to inquire because the notice that my order was ready for pick-up wasn’t sent. There is nothing on the Rona site that allows you to inquire about any matter other than two options that were available before the pandemic. I have been trying to order a gallon of Cabot custom tinted deck stain for two days with no success. Rona has had a year and 4 odd months to establish efficient curb side protocol. There is no excuse that answers to a customer service disaster of this magnitude at this point. The pandemic caught everyone off guard but to still be struggling with the basics at this point, is ridiculous and indicative of a lack of will or inclination to step up to the plate.

My wife ordered some chairs to be delivered to a store nearby. Unfortunately that store had a COVID even requiring them to close for a couple weeks. We thought that our items may be delayed 2 weeks. When we FINALLY heard from RONA despite numerous efforts, we were told our chairs would be another 10 weeks. We canceled. So be aware that this company is not customer service centred and it is best to order elsewhere.

I tried to order a set of washer & dryer online, they took my money and I have not received any confirmation. I contacted them after 4 business days and I could not have answer as anyone was able to see the order. When I finally find someone that seems to be able to help, they informed me that the order was not successful and they will give me the money back. after 1 week still have not got the money. very disappointed

Started by looking on line for deckboxes. Found a craftsman deck box drove 60km to purchase 2 of them. Due to covid shopping they brought them out put them in the truck. Put one together go to put something in it. Doesn't fit. Turn out the measurements they give you on line are wrong. Was 6in less then stated. Check on the lowes site they give you the proper dimensions. Needless to say wasn't impressed with the website from corporate. The store itself did a great job during these times

Worst shopping experience I've ever had and the barrie location manager did not care what so ever and his customer service rep was so rude as well. If I could give it a 0 I would

Customer service no good., store customer service line never answer. Left voicemail never return calls from their end. Purchase Order online put in my credit card information., they take the funds charge on my credit put in Pending but l didn’t receive confirmation and order number from rona. Now after one week still put my credit card funds on pending payment. Didn’t return or drop the funds. Call in there customer service line and store customer service line they can’t find the order information :( No result not discharge the funds they holding. ( bad experience for rona online purchase)

orders are placed and keep getting cancelled. Sometimes its explained as not available items and other times there is simply no explanation. If an order is accepted and the website specifies that the item not available at the store will take 7 to 14 days to be shipped to it from the distribution center I expect that to be so. Apparently all the stores are just trying to sell their own inventory. Their customer service is a joke as the girl that answered seemed to not understand english or french

Placed order. Received less items than ordered. Box appeared to have been drop kicked from truck. Had to call "customer service" X2 and wait 30-40 minutes each time to have nothing done. WILL NOT SHOP HERE AGAIN

Ordered a dish washer on april 28th, got a phone call from Rona Sainte-Martine the same day and scheduled the delivary with the lady on may 4th. Nothing got home. Called Rona Sainte-Martine that day, the man Stephane told me that the delevery service told them they never got the note, even thow I received confirmation by email. So, that same clerk Stephane rescheduled with them for this Saturday may 8th, he then told me I would get a new confirmation for that delevery. I called them 3 times and they just told me 'We have lots of problems with the shipping department... we have customers who waited 7 months and 1 year before they got there orders'!! I understand the Covid Pandemic, I get that it's no longer as it was before, but START A NEW WAY OF OFFERING SERVICES AND TELL US THE TRUTH!! You cash our money the same day, you tell us the delevery service will be within 72 hours AND CHARGES US FOR THAT SERVICE, but finally we get our stuff several months later... THAT'S A BIG NO GO FOR ME and will NEVER AGAIN BE CLIENT OF RONA, that's for sure... To bad, was going to by thousounds of dollars worth of stuff for renovations, you can be sure it wont be with you!! And be sure that I will spread the word around...

I made an online purchase and planned for curbside pick-up. I wasn't sure when I could get to my store (North Vancouver - Park & Tilford) so I didn't schedule my pick-up time. I called the store (twice) to check if that was okay, but couldn't get anyone to answer the phone. So I went, parked in designated spot and phoned the number on the sign. No answer again! I ended up having to go into the store (which I did not want to do), dodge the crowds, and stand in a long line at the pick-up counter. I told 2 different staff that I'd phoned from outside and there was no answer - neither of them even acknowledged this. I expected at least a comment on them being busy, etc - to acknowledge that they usually WOULD answer the phone. But nothing. The staff at the counter just told me to wait while he went to get my order. If RONA is not willing to do curbside pick-up at this store, it should NOT be offered - that's deceptive and I won't be shopping there anymore.

Rona online support is not what I expected from such a large company. Returns request CRM 0314642 (Jen, Rona online support) I am having a very difficult time receiving a return shipping label. Duplicate product arrived over 2 weeks ago. Online support is giving the run-around. Terrible service.

Worst online shopping experience. Almost two weeks to process my order and when I called to cancel the customer service never allowed me to do so. A local store pick up should not take upwards of two weeks. Shop local? Not if this is the way I am treated.
