Horrible Customer Service

I bought a washer /dryer combo and had it delivered. It never worked properly and made a knocking sound.

After 26 emails, told to phone service companies myself, sending out installation guys that were to be disguised as service guys, talking to 2 managers, being passed around on the phone over and over, trying to pay the difference to get a new unit and the payment web page never loading (told it was a bank related issue), giving my credit card over the phone and having the payment processed at 9:00 am then receiving a phone call from the sales guy at 10:00 am to tell me to get my payment done in the next hour or I wasn't getting it delivered that weekend, I finally got the new unit.

The new unit was bigger than the other one so was told I had to take down my shelving myself and that dispatch would be calling me within a half hour to book guys to come and get it set up. I waited an hour, no call. Called 3 times and finally got someone to come out and get it finished up.

I have had it now for over a week and zero follow-up as to the issues I had or to see if the new unit is ok.

I will never shop here again.

Kitchen oven combo

Not delivered on time as promised, poor customer service, they won't answer you properly, wrong promises ,never buy your stuff from there, you will for sure regret, I am based in Calgary and we bought it from North east store, paid in advanced so it can be delivered on time but they don't as promised

We are totally disappointed,moving to new home but these weird people created a way lot trouble by not doing delivery it on time.

Now they are providing loaner to convince us and I think they will not deliver our appliances on time, can't trust this kind of worse services.

I will never buy any appliances with them again and so do will make our friend and family aware.

Good afternoon Neepa
We are so sorry your purchase experience was so disappointing - it should never be this way. We understand a few of the items you had selected were special order and would require time for them to come in - in the mean time your new home possession date moved up - therefore not enough time for the items to arrive prior to move in, We failed to communicate effectively with you. Thank you so much for working with us towards a short term resolution until your items are ready for delivery. If you have any further concerns please feel free to contact us directly.

They are rude, unaccomdating and do not care about customer service

In this day, where people have to work to have money to pay for appliances, they will not accommodate a time for service. They will not give you a window of time and expect you to have a full day to schedule a service call. I understand a morning, or afternoon, but not a whole day and they do not work on Sat or Sunday.
They may have great service when wanting your money to buy, but it is not worth it to try and get something serviced.
It was all new appliances with Calbridge homes

New Home complete Appliances and Softener

We built a new house with Morrison Homes and Trail Appliances was our appliances partner. We had to choose the appliances with Trail appliances and was helped by Gordon. He is the most knowledgeable, calm and patient sales person you can ever meet. I have seen bad sales people and good sales people, but very rarely we meet exceptional and that is Gordon for sure. I do not even know how many times I bugged for changes, price matches and random questions. Every single question was answered patiently, I heard bad stories about sales people referred by builders do not care much about the customers as they are not real sale numbers.

Trail Appliances is a very decent store different than the big box stores and liked the pricing, service and responsiveness. We installed Kinetico Softener with Trail and the installer was prompt, quick and gave us enough details about the system.

i would definitely recommend Trail Appliances and thank Gordon for helping us out.

Refridgerator delivery

We purchased a floor model fridge and had it delivered within 3 days. Upon arrival the bottom drawer had incurred rubbed damage. I was in touch with Sales Consultant, B. Stevens. Through a brief conversation and cell pics, B Stevens brought this to the Manager and we received a NEW fridge in replacement. Tremendous service! It was replaced with one week. We couldn't be happier! THANK YOU!

Terrible attitude, bad applicances

It's very sad that our builder, Slokkerwest, uses a company with such poor customer service. We had an issue with our appliances and the builder spoke to the technicians. Sadly, he came with a really terrible attitude. My husband is a very calm person under pressure, but yet, this technician was raising his voice at him.
The problem? Our dishwasher is horrible, putting it mildly. It doesn't wash clean, doesn't dry and the water with all the calcium, stays on, white and ugly. We use a certain type of dishwashing soap that we have used for years with our other dishwashers and it comes highly recommended. The technician came demanding (yes, demanding) that we use finish dishwashing soap for our dishwasher. We were only explaining to him that we had used this soap on other washers with no problems, and that change is good but why a certain type of soap? His response (not quoting verbatim) was that if we didn't want to listen to him, it was our business. I was shocked, as all we had asked him (after listening to him) was whether it was compulsory that we only needed to use ONE type of soap, and his tempers flared. I'm glad he couldn't say the same for the terrible washing machine we were given, as he saw 5 different kinds of premium washing liquid bottles, all unfinished, in our washing room, yet the appliance was not working. I had to tell him 'No need to yell. We are not arguing. We come in peace'. I am certain he will do the same thing to another customer. We'll talk to our builders and we hope they replace these appliances which by the way are only over 3 months old. I won't advise anyone to get appliances from Trail. And even if the appliances were OK, the customer service (as exemplified by the service tech we saw yesterday) isn't!
Update: This Update is written after the company response below.
We have called Trail appliances a second time after we used the 'FINISH' dishwasher and a rinse aid. The dishes do not come out clean, except of course if they went in clean. The rinse aid dries the dirty water onto the dishes. The technician from Trail wrote in his report that the unit is working properly! He did not even take a second look at it when we were showing him how the dishes look. How could he possibly conclude that the unit was working properly? No checks for water pressure, or to see if enough water is going in, or something...
By the way, there is a rubber flap coming down from the dishwasher and this shows that something has not been properly installed as in the picture. But no, they won't agree that anything is wrong with their installation.
My husband has called them a second time and they redirected us to Samsung, who have re-directed us back to Trail. We will follow to see where this leads!

Maintenance

We bought a full set of “high end” appliances from trail two years ago. Since then the microwave has failed twice, the fridge once and dishwasher once. The warranty service has taken weeks and in some instances months to get these issues addressed. They over book their repair people and have no interest in getting our work done. Very disappointed.

hot water tank replace

We hired the trail Appliances to replace the hot water tank 2 weeks ago, the cost was around $1000. after then, we can't take the shower. because sometimes when you were taking the shower, the hot water stopped,only cold water. sometimes no cold water, only hot water. we have two hot water tanks, one was replaced last year and another one was replaced two weeks ago by the trail appliance. we can't trust this company any more.

it is very horrible.

Install Water Softener Kinetico Model 650

Simple and effective. Scheduled, showed up on time, installed on time, with minimal disruption to the house water supply, and the system works great. The folks left the area clean, and put down pads to get through the house and left access areas clean as well. They took the time to explain the simple regular maintenance required, as well as the operating modes. This is the way any mechanical work should be done in your home.

Fisher Pykal double door dishwasher

Bought the dishwasher brand-new. Its control panel did not work for the bottom drawer. Trail sent a repairman - it took two visits??? That's two days off of work, missed dollars to fix a new dishwasher. Mgr Dave called - didn't really care as he said it will be fixed. Said he would email - he didn't - no service, no compensation! don't buy from them!
