This review is for the location at 1821 Albion Rd, Etobicoke, ON M9W 5W8.
If I could give zero stars for Mega City, I would. My fiance and I had no idea what kind of trouble we were getting ourselves into when we ran into the owner Chris Jakubowski on one of our dog walks. He said he would make sure we were taken care of when it came to the hall decor because Mega City Linen was connected with our venue, The Doctor's House. We thought we had a hook up so I phoned immediately and made an appointment.
Everything seemed fine at first even though we chose a few items (1 linen, a money box and 2 large standing vases, all under $100). They even recommended a florist, which we went with. However, things got extremely difficult when I called to cancel the 2 large standing vases. We were forced to accept that we wouldn't get our money back for the items we didn't want but we had credit to use toward other items. Through email, I asked employee Jennifer for an updated digital copy of our contract so it would be on record. After that didn't happen, I called and left a message because Jennifer was busy. I never received a call back.
Throughout the last couple months before our wedding, we chased Mega City through phone and email, repeatedly asking for an updated contract. Their communication was extremely poor and it's like after we didn't want items, they stopped being helpful and they couldn't care less since they already had our payment. We even got our wedding coordinator involved and through her we found out that Jennifer wasn't even working there anymore.
I wrote a complaint email to the owner Chris and thought since we met him personally, that he would help the situation. But I was wrong and he didn't lift a finger or email me back.
We dealt with the new employee named Toni and at our inconvenience, my fiance had to go up to their office for a third time to pick out additional linens. It turns out that the linens listed weren't even the right ones picked from our first visit. And after all that trouble, Mega City expected us to pick them up ourselves because they didn't deliver. My fiance ran into the owner Chris on that same day and told him what was happening and Chris' answer to all that was that "he was too busy to answer all his emails".
This company is a complete mess. I have a strong feeling that the 5 star reviews you see on the internet for Mega City are written by people who are connected to the other employees or by family--which makes them biased and invalid. Don't waste your time trying to chase this company and play phone and email tag with them. They may be cheaper but you get what you pay for.
Waste of time, waste of money and completely awful. read more
