Leaside Toronto Location sad service
Leaside Location issue: We purchased a fish tank for my kids. We spent over an hour looking and ensuring we would provide what was needed to keep them healthy and happy. We told the associate we were first-time fish parents, and the fish the kids wanted. The associate then instructed us on what tank to buy. We took their advice and purchased the tank, the decor for it, and the starter kit. We took it home filled it, let it sit, got it ready. Then went back to purchase our fish when the water was ready. We were then upset to hear that my kids could not get the fish they wanted as the associate had told us to purchase the wrong tank. The kids were very sad, i was really annoyed. We asked them to return the tank and upgrade to a better tank, which i would pay for, to ensure we can get the fish they wanted and the fish would be healthy. The manager didn't want to talk to the associate about this, but eventually said no, we were out of luck. They took no responsibility. We purchased 2 small fish, they said they were healthy and would live for years. They have a 2-week warranty. Well, one died after 24 hours. My husband ran to the store to try and replace the fish before the kids noticed, but without the dead fish, they wouldn't honour the warranty, so we had to purchase another fish. We were just in there 24 hours ago, and kind of insulting. Not great customer service. After 20 years of shopping there for my various pets, I will be changing to Pet Value, or our local small shop.
