I see some comments about missing parts, maybe I was lucky haven't happen on myself. Be honest, it is too pricey. I feel I am bidding with bot because sometimes the bidding went much higher than first number on google. read more

TOTAL SCAM. They sell gutted electronics. Do not be fooled by their listings! I purchased a "high-end graphics card" from this place, that turned out to be a hollow shell. Serial number showed that is still under warranty, but after taking it to an authorized manufacturer's repair center in Ontario, it was confirmed that the GPU, VRAM, and controllers had been professionally desoldered and stolen--likely as part of a larger criminal operation, a common tactic used by criminals to scam retailers and then offload the empty shells to unsuspecting buyers through "liquidators" like this one. I didn't buy a "broken" card; I bought a piece of worthless scrap metal with all the guts ripped out. When I presented the vendor with photographic evidence and professional documentation from the manufacturer inspection, they didn't offer a refund. Instead, they rudely closed my account immediately and banned me to avoid any accountability. They hide behind "salvage" policies to sell items that are essentially worthless e-waste. This is not a legitimate liquidator; it is a scam operation, not sure how it is still allowed to operate here. If you value your money, stay far away from maxx.ca. To anyone else who has been ripped off by them: file a complaint with Consumer Protection Ontario and contact your bank for a chargeback immediately. Do not let them steal your money. read more

Just this site to bid on two items and did not win them. I had give credit card Number and then charge 1000.00 on it. don't use this site

Rented a van and spent 1.5 hours in traffic. Barely made it before closing. I went to enter, while the employee was locking the door and she wouldn't let me in! I explained the rental and time spent in traffic. NEVER ASSOCIATING WITH THESE PEOPLE AGAIN. Was a customer for over 7 years. The management seems to encourage disrespect as a business model. If you enjoy being treated like garbage, this is the place for you. read more

I didn't finish register yet, they charged me $1000 and holding for 7-10 days, this is simply robbery.

I was customer of AuctionMaxx/Maxx since 2017. Bought over 30+ items from them. Recently bought a office chair in auction which had description of Opened (content sealed). With my 8 years of trust with the company, I checked the product roughly yo make sure any damages, but when I reached home, and started assembling, noticed wheels and all nuts missing. Upon contacting Maxx, they replied I should have checked each and every thing in detail from the warehouse before leaving! Don't trust these people! read more

AVOID. I have never experienced such rude and aggressive behaviour from a service representative or company. When I inspected my items, one (out of many items) that was described as new condition had tags but very clearly did not appear new. I approached a representative to ask about a refund. I waited patiently as I got passed off to someone else, and as multiple staff were called in - not at my behest, but because they weren't sure what to do and said they needed someone with more expertise for that item. I was patient and calm and never raised my voice or was rude. Towards the end I did approach the desk and speak to several people as they were examining it - again not being aggressive just explaining what I knew about the brand/item and condition. They denied the refund and I expressed that I didn't think that was appropriate and was trying to ask if there were other options or someone I might speak to about it. Suddenly another representative - (who I was later told was the manager!!) Samantha - cut in and was extremely rude and aggressive. She cut me off repeatedly and said "The answer is no. We're not having this conversation. You can take it or restock it for a $50 fee. Decide and leave." She did this multiple times when I tried to speak calmly to her. There was absolutely no need for this behaviour. First thing this morning I received the following email: "After your visit yesterday we have decided that it is in both of our best interests to close your account. We ask that you do not visit our premises at 200 Bartor Road, North York, ON. If you do, we will ask you to leave. We ask that you do not open new accounts as they will be closed." Ha! As if I'm a criminal! This is a shocking way to do business. They'd lost mine already anyways - but this is an indication of how they will treat you. All that and a 20% buyers fee. Adios. read more

Sold me something that was advertised new and when i received it it was a open package, i said something and manger told me i was getting on there last nerve. really bad services and really alot of the stuff there is junk and make sure before you buy. there quick to take your cash and could care less about customer service read more

SCAM AUCTIONS. The auction clock is in motion and based on the bidding pattern it is clear I can win this auction (my Minimum I was going bid on was significantly higher) at the last Minute the auction is deleted with no reason. I will be getting a $7800.00 Item for considerably less then Retail. Their offices are closed Tuesdays during Auction time so it is clear that the Auction was being Monitored. This is an illegal Auction practice. (my friend is a licensed Canadian Auctioneer so I am not accusing them blindly). If there had been a reserve on the auction it would have timed out. There was no reserve posted. I have already filed a complaint with the province. https://www.ontario.ca/page/filing-consumer-complaint. If I call and ask Maxx directly even if it just a polite inquiry my account will be deleted. read more

20% upcharge on items, which they are clear about, in fairness. Other liquidators don't charge this. Plus the tax, which is expected. This equates to 33.5% more on what you bid. Pickup policy is unreasonable. If you purchase the product and not pick it up on time, they charge you steep fees, $40 in my case, plus tax, and re list the item. You lose the item you won of course. They do not send any email reminders, pretty much a scam, they basically look forward to re listing the item and charging YOU. Ridiculous condescending response from the the manager, "It's in our terms and conditions" This is not how you do business. Spend your hard earned dollars elsewhere as they don't bring value or any benefits to customers. Stay away. read more

This company used to offer great bargains until they introduced a 20% auction tax that would come as a surprise after you won a bid. The value and condition of the products were hit or miss. I purchased several defective items from them, but I kept going back because the bigger purchases were usually a bargain. However, the company would inflate the item value to show a higher discount from the retail price, which caught me mid-bid a few times. If you don't do your research and bid emotionally, you're likely to end up with a bad deal. Buyers should be aware that this site is not a scam, but its practices are unethical. They cancel your account for the smallest infraction, such as complaints and returns. They claim you can notify them of price issues, but when you do, they cancel your account. Many people have been turned off by their business practices and have never returned. My last experience with them was in January 2023, when I won a small item valued at $115 that retailed for $60 on Amazon. However, the item was discontinued at the time, so it wasn't much of a deal. After years of bidding without payment issues, I failed to pick up my item on time and missed the store by 20 minutes. My credit card had expired that month, so they couldn't receive payment. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until after the transaction. The item was put back on auction abruptly, my account was cancelled, and I was told I would have to pay a $145 reinstatement fee. That was the last time I dealt with that company. read more

Everything about this company is wrong... VERY WRONG... First the 20% winning bid fee, on top of that there is tax as well. Secondly, this is temp. But, a $1000 credit card temp charge to renew my account? No, I am good with just buying these things straight from Amazon or Walmart read more

December 2023, I went to pick up the claimed by the company for a new item. I realized that the items did not have the original package. When I read the description before purchase it did not state that the items did not have the original packages missing. I went to customer service and claimed right away to avoid issues with the purchased items. I said that the package did not have the original package and I did not want to have this item because it missing the original package. The customer service abruptly dismissed my claim and did not help me. I requested to talk to the manager and this request was dismissed as well. The associate told me that this is me wasprivate property and I needed to leave. I came home and I received an email that the Maxx.ca company closed my account because I requested to have the original packages for the item that I purchased. It is not right to treat the customer this way because I was your customer and I want to get the item with the original package as the ad did not specify that the original package is missing. I talked to Samantha who did not disclose the name of the supervisor. I asked to leave and no one was able to help me with the claim. Their site advertised the customer has 7 days to claim the issue with the product but this is not true what they advertised as you see. read more

Maxx.ca (which is also known as AuctionMaxx) has some of the absolute worst customer service I've encountered of any company. I had won one of their auctions for an item for $165 - they had even sent me an e-mail advising me of so. But shortly after winning the auction they deleted my purchase and removed the item from my Cart. When I asked for an explanation why, they advised me their servers were not working properly the night of the auction and to be "fair to other members" they were going to remove my purchase and advised me I would have to participate in a new auction if I was interested in the item (they were going to relist MY ITEM). I then asked if this is about fairness to customers, what about me - the customer that won the auction and has an e-mail stating I won the item? They advised to me that I would receive no compensation or discount due to this inconvenience and then banned my account. So this is the kind of service you should expect from Maxx.ca - if your item sells for a bit too low and they happen to be having server issues (which happens almost all the time btw), they will cancel your purchase and relist it. I highly advise anyone who appreciates good customer service look elsewhere. read more

Absolute crooks. When they've misrepresented items they cut off your account. Buyer beware.

Quite rude when I asked them to cancel my bid because they fuc#ed me over with pick up . Very inflexible and quite bitchy, actually.

SCAM...SCAMMERS..SCAM ALERT This auction used BOTS to bid up the prices.....proof you say....here it is. They have gotten so lazy that they didn't even rename the bot to maximize their revenue. If you have ever bid here and lost.... it might have been to a bot. Here are a few bots that always seem to have endless pockets: Copycat 1234 PAPER This is soooo dishonest and unethical...the owners just dont care and will do anything to rip you off. How...selling used returns as new...using USA websites just to show the 'regular price' THEN mark it up by the 40% exchange rate...wow that is so low. The listing below was sent to auction at 2:10 PM and withing 30 seconds "copycat" put bids for all the avaliable mouse pads...I wish I could bid on multiple items within 3 seconds. Check it out yourself. This item was on the maxx deals for a very, very long time for $10....I bet copycat's bid max is around there for all listings. I guess bots need 6 large mousepads. If you have noticed this as well, please make everybody aware of this. BTW...they are not the only ones.... -bidstreet does just on the auction items...and not on all -403 auction as well. Ever wonder why most auction houses use online bidding now....I bet a good BOT I know why!! read more

I was a good client of Auctionmaxx until I recently got ripped off. I purchased a very expensive cargo e-bike in their auction. The description said NEW, the photo showed a box that was strapped shut. I can only assume since it was STRAPPED shut and NEW in box that everything was there but no, guess what?; the 2 most expensive items on the bike were conveniently missing - the 2 batteries worth over $1000. Without the batteries a cargo e-bike cannot function!!! I emailed the office to return the product but I was basically told - too bad, you did not inspect the goods in the warehouse. I had to pay a ridiculous restocking fee to return the dud e-bike. I feel completely squandered. That same day I also purchased a cantilevered umbrella. The description did not bother to mention that the crank is missing which they clearly knew because they had to open the umbrella to photograph it. Once you complain, the owner Melissa just deactivates your account and ignores you. Shameful. I have no intention of ever buying from such a horrible company but I emailed to just be able to access my past invoices and I am completely ignored. I would include the photo of the STRAPPED box in the posting but I can't access my account. Maxx is highly UNETHICAL and ROTTEN to the core. Buyer BEWARE!!!! read more

Just made my first purchase (front load stackable washer and dryer) with no issues. it came exactly as shown in the pictures. I've read some comments about poor customer service and didn't experience that. I received polite emails right away to my questions and picked up my purchase with ease. I will say buyer beware, it's a liquidation centre (comes with risks) however all of the policies are clearly listed on the website. read more

Have you seen the soup Nazi episode on Seinfeld? That's this place. You *can* get good stuff at a great price, but they are like the retail Gestapo! I've gone to pick up things only to find they can't complete the sale due to the item being missing or un-noticed damage when listed. Then one day I was unable to pick-up an item before they closed and SLAM! account locked and they demanded a re-activation fee TWICE that of the item I didn't pick up PLUS a restocking fee. If these fools noticed how much I spent there they might change their Mussolini mindset. read more

Well when I thought that things couldn't get any worse with this sub-standard "auction" site. It seems that they have closed for a month and forced all customers to pick up their items or else by Saturday, August 14 or pay the massive shipping fees. This with their new draconian BS (NO) 'return' polices, really make this place a no-go zone. Well it gets better....they are closed for an entire month, with this statement on their website..."This year we are doing an extended shut-down for warehouse renovations and a site update to make bidding and buying on Auctionmaxx easier and better than ever!" You can no longer use the advance search function to check closed listings....I wonder why!?!? Yup....they sold the joint. Be prepared for new owners come September 15th! They made massive policy changes before the new owners take it over. Will it improve the experience.....let me know!! lol read more

I was a loyal customer until today when I went to pick up some purchases from them. In the past I had issues with their products that stated "new" which actually were used or missing items and the misrepresentation in the ad is misleading. I supposedly had a credit from a refund that was removed and I ask them why. Their answer was management did it and it's at their discretion. I ask them how would I know if their was a credit on my account they said I would have to email them to find out. I said "OK" and I got my stuff and left. Apparently, I was too aggressive or had aggressive behaviour said Melissa, which I beg to differ (no swearing/yelling or threatening tone or body language at all) and she closed my account and banned me. LMAO and I guess I'll be spending my money elsewhere. ***BEWARE SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE AS NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE OR THE TRIP!*** read more

My boyfriend love this place! He is always on their site looking for deals and tries to win a steal. We usually swing into Auxtionmaxx almost every weekend to grab our winnings. The location is in an industrial area. The area doesn't look too friendly. Do not expect a high end shop when you walk in. It is practically a junk shop. The staff members are a hit and miss depending on who you communicate with. Our privacy is violated at the end of each stop because the employees have to check our receipts and our items for it to match. read more

terrible company. the description of the item I bought said that the contents were sealed. they weren't. the item was significantly damaged. when I asked the company for help they said they couldn't "assist". read more

They treat people badly. Been a customer for years and they closed my account unfairly. I am disappointed in their people skills. They have many customers now so they have forgotten about the people who have been with them for years. No courtesy, no interpersonal skills, bad customer service, from management downward. read more

The staff is the worst in behavior, when you ask them to address an issue, we had bought the product online and we just went to the car and checked and was not what we thought when we bought, so we just went in under 2 minutes and the lady said " Sir since you left the building we cannot do anything" i asked to request to her supervisor she started behaving rudely and said " Oh now you want my supervisor to say you no" then i waited for her supervisor while she was on phone. the lady said "sir no and wat on NO10." As she wanted to tell her supervisor to say no o me silently, so as soon as she was off phone she rushed to her and said to say no. the supervisor repeated what her employee asked to say. and did not exchange our product. we just asked for a credit as well. All the conversation was very polite from our side. she did the same and the height of the thing is they deviated our account after wit hour consulting us and giving us a chance to say our side of the story. thank you read more

My husband and I go to auctionmaxx almost on a weekly basis for the past year or so. A couple weeks back we tried to return a faulty microwave within the 14 days. The microwave didn't cook items properly and when we brought it in to return the cashier got angry and said 'wait over there, this guy will be over in a minute to deal with you!' not help, deal. Anyway, the guy who came over laughed when my husband, who is a licensed engineer, was trying to explain to the guy what the issue is. As a true engineer my husband did multiple comparative heat tests with this microwave and our current microwave. This microwave did not work properly. While this was happening I was texting someone I know who used to work here. He was telling me that the owners and managers actually tell their employees to treat anyone returning things with disrespect and tell them that people are trying to do is scam the company by returning items. He said that it's a very toxic environment. I suppose I should feel bad for the cranky cashier who is clearly jaded and angry. We ended up taking the microwave home and we resold it online whilst being honest about the machine's issues. We will continue to shop here as my husband likes to buy certain things there, fix them up and resell them. I just thought I would leave a review because we have been going for about a year, never returned anything and the only time we did we were treated like criminals. Their customer service model is lacking in every way but my husband figures it's something he's willing to deal with. At the end of the day we're not out too much money but it's a good lesson. Be careful what you buy here and don't try to return anything. read more

I will never ever buy anything from this place !!! worst costumer service plus they have their own bidders to drive the price up ... I bought an iPhone X yesterday from them they listed as unknown carrier ,no returns of course you cannot see or check the phone before buy .. anyways i found out today by apple store the phone is blacklisted as Stolen from previous owner so it wont work on any carrier so it looks like they lyed to me by falls advertise and i lost over 400$ and this is second time happening to me ... i bought last year an iPad 9.7 2017 model it worked for a week and then i couldn't even use it anymore it was shut down remotely by Mobile device management so in both cases i bought my self a very expensive brick ... Don't Buy from Auctionmaxx !!! You will be cheated for sure ... Their selling damaged items 90% of the time and their return policy is BS .I am from Toronto Ontario but for some reason yelp shows that im from San Francisco :) weird ... read more

Dishonest business practices! - They don't include it in their product listings but all their products are not covered by manufacturers warranties. You only have their 14-day return period and after that you're on your own. I told them that this was a dealbreaker for me but they refused to do anything about it. I ended up cancelling my purchase because of this but they still charged me a restocking fee. read more

Very poor customer service, poor quality, and false advertising of the value of goods. I have been a long time customer for years, but no more! They almost always compare their used/ returned/ partial/ defective products with brand new products with full service selling at a reputable store like Home Depot or Costco. In fact, there is no comparison at all, their stuff are not returnable, mostly used or damaged. In addition, they just don't care! they don't care how you feel, how bad they treat you, how they made you drive 2 hours to find out that they don't even have the item that they just sold to you last night! Waste of your money and time? too bad, for you! Leave this junk store, don't just walk away, RUN! read more

Horrible.... customer service is the worst... prices are crazy.. people paying over retail for items.. pick up hours are horrible, they don't give you any time at all and are closed most of the time. Auction Wednesday night... all freakin night, then you only have until Saturday to pick up... TWH read more

Bought furniture . Ad only mentioned cosmetic scratch. But when install at home found more defect like wood not made for the right length and screw hole not matching the right position. Some just 1mm difference. Some with 1cm difference. Cannot be installed if no fix done Customer service asked to bring back and examine. I Refused instead asked for compensation for fixing. Customer service agreed . Satisfied with final service. Hope they post all defect known on AD So people will not be surprised later. Cheers read more

I was a loyal customer until recently. I don't understand the 20% buyer premium when items are not checked for completeness, descriptions are inaccurate and you have check your products before leaving. I purchased an incomplete lego set and now stuck with it. Don't recommend taking a chance on items for a possible small savings off retail. Not worth it! read more

I was a long time customer with no issues, until there was one! Use at your own risk. They will deny returns of items they sell as new/open box that are clearly not and DO NOT WORK! They will claim "1 week warranty" yet are only open 4 days a week. Frontline staff is great, manager and above EXTREMELY rude. Terrible experience and will never use again. They are a predatory business. Use amazon warehouse deals instead. Never thought I'd recommend amazon over a small business but they can't treat people the way they do. Feel bad for their staff if they treat long time customers with contempt over a simple issue. read more

Purchased what were advertised as brand new factory sealed Apple Airpods Pro. They were shipped to me and looked to be sealed. After opening and setting up it was clear they had been used and resealed. They even had someone else's name on them. Someone is using their business to commit fraudulent activities. I politely brought this to their attention and explained the situation. Not only did they not care and refuse to help, they deleted my account as a response. Very childish way to run a business. I would avoid. Finding unadvertised issues is extremely common. read more

I have had many great purchases from AuctionMaxx in the past but recently the service, support ethics have shifted. I have had a few bad experiences lately with terrible service, misleading product descriptions. Misleading product representation and most recently I purchased something and they sent confirmation to later turn around and deny me access to the product. They then re-listed it for much more money. Do not do business with these people!!!! Buyer beware. read more

Wow...I'm reading all of these reviews that aren't very flattering to Auctionmaxx. That is unfortunate because, overall, my experiences there have not been negative - and I am there on almost a weekly basis. I've gotten some great deals and have found the staff to be fairly accessible. In particular, a young man (Shadeem I believe) is always smiling and very helpful. At the end of the day, it's an auction - it's all buyer beware. read more

This auction business is a scam. I bought a drawers nightstand at their place. When I open the box 2 weeks later for assembly, I found it only have the bottom section, 2 drawers missing. I came back there to tell them what happen inside the box. They said they are not responsible for my problem because I was late for their 1 week policy. When you do business you get to stand for what you sell no matter what. This place is a horrible place for buying because if something go wrong, you have no mercy from them. I wonder why they still have their license to sell to the public. I rather give my money to a charity to help someone than to let these people to rip me off like this. Here is the picture of their box come with only bottom section missing 2 drawers. It is a big scam in this kind of business. They never check or verify their inventory properly, they just posted on their website. Here are the pictures of the nightstand table I buy according to their ad. I rather not give them any star but I have no choice because it is the minimum requirement from Google. Please don't be next victim for those bad business people. read more

See all

I have to agree with the negative reviews on here. I really liked AuctionMaxx at first, I liked their apparent openness and honesty and I HAVE found some good deals, but those deals are getting fewer and further in between and I'm beginning to question their honesty. I don't even bother with the auction anymore as I am convinced it's a bit of a scam. On a few items I really wanted I had gotten in the last bid and thought I had "won" only to see that they extended the "deadline". This happened THREE times on one item! What the hell is the point of having a deadline if you're not going to adhere to it??? Anyway, I gave up on the items AND on the auction all together after that. I figured they either have bots or insiders bidding against you just to jack up the prices. Never again! As for what I've bought, most of the items still work well, except I am having issues with the Apple AirPort Extreme I bought as "New", so I would avoid those if you see them. Otherwise it really is buyer-be-ware. Yes they do have some good deals, and even the odd great deal, but a lot of the "deals" on AuctionMaxx can be found at regular retail stores with full warranties and better return policies. **UPDATE** Due to recent events I have given AuctionMaxx another Star. I would actually like to give them a 3.5 out of 5 but it seems you can't give half stars on here. Anyway, my reason for the extra 1.5 Stars is that I had an issue with an item and true to their word AuctionMaxx refunded my money. On top of that, the employee that handled my return was very nice and helpful. Still, I am wary of buying anything electronic from AuctionMaxx because two out of the four electronic devices purchased from them were faulty. The one I returned and, unfortunately one that went faulty after the 14 day warranty expired. read more

Be very careful. They use phantom bidders to drive up the bids. Do not buy anything electronic as they will give you nothing but hassles. Also when bidding check max deals they often have the same product for less. read more
