Very unprofessional
Kamloops store is worst store for poor service the two young ones at the front counter very unprofessional argued when I returned something had the receipt didn’t even really look at the receipt just went into my account for being a paying customer. I should not have to argue with young kids at the front desk. I would rather drive to Vernon KMS instead of dealing with the ones In Kamloops

Went in to get a sharpening system and bench grinder. Grinder wasn't in stock, so it was quickly found in another store and shipped in. Right from the start every person I dealt with was friendly and very helpful, from the woodworking dept to the front tills. Always a pleasure to shop there!

Good experience
The ordering was easy and the shipping was pretty fast. I've mostly shopped in person but I'm not near a store so I'll mail order again in the future.

Over priced
Over priced. Not a very good selection for mechanical tools. Staff seem distant from their work and ordering things in often takes weeks.

Have purchased several thousand dollars worth of Milwaukee tools from kms. Had an issue with one of the tools and they only had a record of me purchasing 3 tools of which this was not one of them…. So they wouldn’t warranty it. Disappointing service!
