About Canadian Appliance Source - Halifax

Written by the company

Canadian Appliance Source, founded in 2008, has developed into a forerunner of modern appliance retail. Our model is unique in that our focus has always been on providing our customers with the personalized, thoughtful help and advice of an appliance specialist. Whether online or in-store, CAS customers receive knowledgeable advice, expert service, and quality appliances at exceptional prices. Our goal is to leave each customer with the certainty they made the right choice buying from us.

Now with more than 40 locations, our mission has grown to be the largest national appliance retailer in Canada. However, we will be a coast-to-coast retailer with a difference: we will still offer each customer that same personalized advice and unique in-store experience. We will do this by maintaining the exemplary level of training each sales associate receives; we will do this by ensuring every member of the CAS team shares our values of respect, responsibility, and commitment to customer satisfaction. We will do this by empowering everyone in our company to provide our customers with the expertise they deserve. CAS has always stood apart from the competition, and as we grow, we will continue to do so. We now have the resources, the ability, and most importantly, the drive to be the best appliance retailer in Canada.

Although we have grown in size, we have never lost our focus on creating our unique, customer-centric, in-store experience. Each CAS store has a boutique feel, features streamlined, modern displays, and customers are serviced by personable, knowledgeable staff. We pay attention to the details to make the shopping experience as pleasant as possible.


We know that buying major household appliances can feel like a big commitment, and there’s often a lot of confusion or outdated information online regarding return terms and hidden fees with Canadian Appliance Source.

Based on our recent video update (you can reference the file named "Official Canadian Appliance Source Return Policy 60-Day Returns & ZERO Restocking Fees"), we want to clear the air and lay out our Return Policy as simply and directly as possible so you can shop with complete peace of mind.

- $0 Restocking Fees: We do not charge any restocking fees on eligible returns.

- Original Packaging Requirement: To qualify for this standard return, the product must be returned in its original packaging.

How to Process a Return

- Keep Your Packaging (For Standard Returns): If you simply changed your mind, ensure the appliance remains in its original box/packaging.

- Initiate the Return: Reach out to our rCanadian Appliance Source Returns Portal - https://www.canadianappliance.ca/returns or customer Service within the 60-day window (or immediately if your item arrived damaged/defective, Do not plug in or use it) and we shall process your return accordingly.

What If Your Product is Damaged or Defective?

We want to make sure that you are fully aware that if your product arrives damaged or is not working, the standard policy rules above do not apply to you.

If you receive a defective or damaged appliance, you are completely exempt from the standard return restrictions; you have 48 hours from the day of delivery to report any damage or any issue with your appliance on our dedicated online support for returns at https://www.canadianappliance.ca/returns

Arwyn Bheekhoo was the associate who helped me with my Extended Warranty. He mentioned that it was good that I had purchased an extended warranty on my appliance and gave me the phone number of whom to contact for my repairs. Arwyn was pleasant, knowledgeable and very helpful. Thank you

Mike (Halifax)

A real nice experience with CAS. Sales person (Brian) was knowledgeable and gave us a competitive price on our new dishwasher.
Unfortunately the dishwasher had a very small indentation on the front door but Treshna at the after sales dept gave us a couple of satisfactory solutions which we were happy with. She did this quickly with no hassle. I would certainly return to CAS whenever I need to replace a kitchen appliance.

after sales service is horrible

Customer service was very good, appliances arrived on time and the delivery guys were polite and knowledgeable. Turns out the washer leaked underneath and created a big mess. Sales will not help- you have to fill out a form and wait 24-48 hours for someone to get back to you-still waiting- phone calls are ignored.

Dear Michele Weber,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, both positive and constructive.

We're so glad to hear that you were satisfied with our customer service and delivery team.

We regret to learn about the issue you're experiencing with your washer.

Please note that CAS does not manufacture the appliances it sells and functional issues can occur even with new appliances.

Our records indicate that our After Sales Team has already initiated a service request with the manufacturer.

Sincerely,
CAS

Great customer service

Our experience with Canadian Appliance was very good from our first visit to the retail store to my follow up consult with the customer service dept. I had a few questions and spoke with Vidya in post sale customer service . She provided thorough answers and follow up email to confirm in writing. Very happy with overall experience at Canadian Appliance.

I'm writing about the excellent service I received from Sheshna Chukowry. I had called in to book a delivery of appliances. Sheshna was very thorough and took me through the process of the delivery. I'm looking forward to the delivery on Dec 11 2023. Having Sheshna's step by step instructions is much appreciated. Lindy Mc

No replacement or refund for fridge defective out of the box

Bought fridge August 8, 2023. It has not worked properly from the beginning and still does not work as of December 3, 2023. CAS is not upfront that they do not replace or refund, once they have your money that's it all sales final. They should have a large sign on the store front to properly warn people.

Fridge did not cool properly from the beginning. There was a brief false hope for a few days, but when freezer items did not remain frozen we knew for sure. CAS would not replace or refund, pushed us to the manufacturer. Have had several service calls from their technician. He stated one issue was insufficient refrigerant, just enough to make it look like it was working for first few days. We underwent two service repairs and fridge seemed to work for a short time and then failed returning to original behaviour. Fridge compartment temperature is 60 F and should be 37 F. Freezer temperature is 40F and should be 0 F.

On November 14 service call technician remarked that we are back to how the fridge was acting initially, he said it was ridiculous. He seemed to feel it should be replaced but it was the manufacturer's call. He had to order parts again and to carry out a subsequent repair visit. We asked what he would do differently this time, his explanation lacked clarity, we couldn't make out what would be different. We have not heard anything further since the November 14 visit.

Christmas is approaching and a fridge is essential to modern living. Is this the treatment CAS management would want to endure? Do they think this is reasonable? We may be forced to file an action in Small Claims Court to recover the $1,200 spent so we can purchase another fridge from a reasonable retailer.

That has been a 3 month nightmare consuming enormous time. Our contract was with CAS not the manufacturer. We put $1,200 down for a new working fridge and have nothing in return. Before giving our money we asked the salesperson what happens if the fridge is initially defective and he said they would look after us. This is not a case of a defect occurring several months into ownership.

There are many complaints about CAS along similar lines to ours. When discussing our situation with others, we heard a comment that CAS sells factory seconds. Is this what we have? And would the answer be credible?

Apparently CAS opened Halifax location couple of years ago and told us they want to expand further in Atlantic Canada. This is small market where word of mouth travels. Is this way of operating conducive to expanding their market? Bottom line is buyer beware.

We have only received platitudes from CAS Customer Service. We need a refund and they can take the fridge back. A replacement would be too risky, as we could endure a repeat scenario.

It is unfortunate your are encountering these challenges. As we have stated in the past the manufacturer carries the 1 year warranty with your appliance. As of writing this response we have send your info to the manufacturer to follow up directly with you.

Dear Paul,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

When the order was placed on September 9, the item was not in stock, and we were required to place an order with the Manufacturer. While an estimated date was given based on past orders, we were flagged by the manufacturer on a production delay to get the item to our Dartmouth Distribution Center.

At your request, the order was cancelled and the refund was processed on October 25.

We apologize for the delays and inconveniences you've faced with the order.

Sincerely,
KF

CAS website payment has issues and communication regarding delivery is poor.

The Initial order process was fine (shout out to Devansh Gupta). However when the appliance arrived and I was notified to pay the balance to schedule delivery, the CAS website glitched- my credit card was charged for the balance of the order but CAS had no record of it. CAS insisted it was a problem on my end but my bank advised me to wait as my card was authorized for the purchase. Being told it was my problem and asked to pay again in order to schedule the delivery was extremely unprofessional and made me never want to use this company again. I waited 2 days to see if the Authorized charge either fell off my credit card account or was moved to posted- it eventually moved to posted, indicating CAS did receive the money; I was then able to schedule my delivery. If you do use this company, DO NOT pay online- pay over the phone as they Web site is poorly developed. I was not offered any compensation for the 3 hours that I spent on the phone with my bank on on the phone with various reps from CAS, who all insisted I hadn't paid and in order to schedule my delivery I had to pay again!
I selected the one of the time frames offered for delivery, Friday between 12:30 and 4:30. I was notified by email and text around 1:00 pm that my stove was on route and would arrive around 2:30 pm. 4:30 came and went with no stove, no text, phone call, or email to advise me where it was. The online tracker was useless and did not provide real time information, simply said the stove was on route and would be delivered at 2:30. At 6:00 I called the delivery service, and emailed all of the people at CAS that I had dealt with to inquire where my stove was and had no response back. I called CAS customer service and after waiting on hold for 1/2 an hour was told my stove would be delivered within the hour (at this time it was 6:30 pm.) The delivery company called around 7:00 pm to advise me there were still 40 minutes away, and seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact that I had been waiting for 2.5 hours past the time window with no communication. The deliver of the stove was fine (around 7:30 pm, 3 hours past the window) and the delivery people were courteous; however the complete lack of communication or explanation as to the delay in the delivery seems hard to understand.
Given the issues with the online payment and lack of communication regarding the delivery, I unfortunately would not recommend this company for future purchases and going forward will go back to using Home Depot. I had really hoped that this experience would be better than Home Depot, but was over all disappointed. I as of yet have not received any sort of apology or acknowledgement from CAS regarding the issue with the web site payment and complete lack of communication regarding the 3 hour late delivery. I recognize that this is as big company with many moving parts, however I am overall disappointed with the service.

Excellent Selection of Refrigerators

Excellent Selection of Refrigerators.
Very helpful Sales Staff, and competitive pricing.
Also, very important, the fridge I was interested in was in stock and able to be delivered in two days. This was not possible at other big box stores I shopped at.
One complaint... The delivery truck broke down on my scheduled delivery day. This happens and I am okay with it. However, a phone call letting me know that the estimated time of delivery was now 4:45 instead of 1:30.

The salesperson was great!

The salesperson was great, very informative. I am very happy that he suggested the extended warrantee because I have since learned that LG refrigerators are not very reliable. The fellow in the warehouse was great to deal with too.

My experience couldn't have been better

The salesman Daniel Travis was very helpful with information that made our choice of washing machine decisive. The 2 delivery gentlemen efficiently removed my old machine and hooked up the new one with new hoses. The personalities and knowledge of everyone we dealt with made this purchase non-stressful and we are happy with our choice.
