Staff are good but takes forever to the computer system to generate a receipt, generally avoid the store for that reason.

Thank you for the feedback Dan!
I'd like to understand exactly the concern as it relates to our system providing the customer copy of the transaction. Did you have issues getting a copy of a sales order invoice and have to wait for the printer?
I will have our IT department verify connectivity as this is the first complaint towards obtaining a customer copy of the transaction.

Better but still a long way to go

The new guy running your Dawson City store is trying hard and is much better than the previous manager. However, he is still learning and the problem with not enough inventory and delays in obtaining merchandise have us continuing to give most of our business to other vendors in town.

Salesman goes above and beyond

Midday Saturday we needed a specific item in order to repair our asset. We called various suppliers with none being able to support our need. I called Mr.Hyatt who was on his days off AND the store was closed. Mr.Hyatt was able to get us what we needed in a very quick manner and get our asset back to work. We saved tens of thousands of dollars with not having to wait and it was pleasing to see your employees understanding and acknowledgment of our situation. This is the main reason we do business with your store.

Review

The guys are always good to deal with. Jeff I particular. The payment is a pain in the butt because most items do not have bar codes that can be scanned. Need to update this and get into the 20th century. This item is at a corporate level I assume.

Empoyees are helpful but The new policy and signs no employees . Blking off access to bolt bins and water fitting and everything else is a pain the *** I went in expecting to spend 500 plus on bolts but not being able to go though and pick inventory I wanted I bought a 25 cent bolt and left. Will be looking for another source which is more buyer friendly.

Thank you for the feedback Arnie.
Our warehouse policy with respect to our ISO commitment is that everyone must wear proper protected CSA footwear. The current model is not conducing to retail traffic. With the amount of freight and activity, it is a safety issue having retail customers walk through.
We are currently in the process of revamping our fastener selection and will be moving it into the showroom for better access to serve our valued customers.
We expect to transition this as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately for the time being, we must adhere to our safety policy and protect both our workers and customers.

Great company to deal.

Great company to deal with especially when requesting for quotation and delivery. They're very quick to respond especially George Franklin. You're the man :-)

Dawson City NIS

SInce being Under New management, NIS in Dawson City has dramatically improved in both service and product availability.

The new manager, Adrien Le Diuzet, goes above and beyond to assist his customers. He continually follows up with orders and has come out to the mine site to deliver parts when needed.

I recently purchased a new welder and had a few issues with it. Adrien drove out to my mine site and fixed it after many emails consulting back and forth with Miller. He has also come out to deliver parts when they are not on time (due to no fault of his own). Adrien certainly goes above and beyond for his customers.

I will definitely use NIS for more of my purchases now due to such amazing customer service.

Occasional Store

Occasionally I will buy a hard to find item at this store. I don't buy much here because I find the pricing not very competitive in my community. I am also appalled at the overpackaging of the most recent flyer in June 2019 wrapped in plastic. Poor environmental stewardship from this company.

Hi Erin,
Thank you for the feedback. We are open to work with your company on a pricing program relevant to your business and look at stocking inventory to support such program.
I was not not aware of the flyers being wrapped in plastic. After some research, this is a Canada Post standard due to the fact we have inserts added to our monthly program.
We have since discontinued the inserts and no longer a requirement to wrap them in plastic.
Regards,

Rob Sasseville
Managing Director, Sales & Operations
