I can't say enough good things about our purchase experience! Brian was amazing. I can't remember…read morethe last time I worked with a salesperson who was so knowledgeable and helpful. I really felt like he was sensitive to what we were looking for to meet our needs in our price range and he directed us to products with great features, and with good track records. Also, their showroom is so nice! They have lots of floor models with a wide variety of brands and price points-- even super high end stuff. I'm so glad we supported a local store instead of some multinational chain where you're totally on your own trying to make choices. We won't need apliances again for a long time but when we do, I will definitely come back here. (I'll update this review after we receive our new appliances.)

My mom was really in a pinch, her dryer of 16+ years was overheating and failed. We phoned Trail…read moreAppliances in Nanaimo and Brandon Richardson sealed the deal. I had looked up the appliance we wanted, nothing fancy, we found a great deal with over $100 savings, online and phoned the store with 1 hour until closing. Brandon took my call and was very helpful, professional and knowledgeable. He took care of everything in one phone call, in 15 minutes I had brought the new appliance and arranged delivery, installation and removal. I had an excellent experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend and shop here again myself. The delivery team arrived exactly as they had said, keeping us updated and informed of progress. They were efficient, clean and friendly and took all of the packaging and the old appliance away after installing the new appliance. What an easy experience.

I have had several things done with them, and have had my share of problems (ring was returned back to me with a crooked head after giving it to them for repairs, stone falling out of setting shortly after receiving pendant back...etc.) but they have also done some work that I'm very happy with. All I know is I deal with them frequently and often feel embarrassed/ashamed when I'm walking up to their counter because the younger goldsmith will often give the older goldsmith a snicker and a look that conveys "oh, great, HER again". Keep in mind I am not a problem customer, simply someone who gets this particular goldsmith to do a lot of work for me. But I guess repeat, paying customers is not what they're in the market for.
