I have never been to DeSerres before. I was at Future Shop and decided to drive across the large…read moreparking lot to get there. I got a two-headed Itoya calligraphy pen for $3. It is comparable to other art stores. They have Speedball and Sheaffer calligraphy pens, too. There were also some good storage containers on sale, but I don't need any! The woman cashing me out was nice, despite the wailing child who was at it for five minutes by the time I got to her. I would go back again to explore some more, but this pen should keep me busy for a bit!

I'd give a five-start rating to the very nice young man who helped me, except that he was loudly…read moreadmonished to "return to the cash register" by the manager, as I presume the manager felt he had spent too much time helping me, and of course, we cannot miss a sale, can we. What a turn-off! No one feels valued as a customer in such a situation, and I sure as hell will never go back. I can just as easily get what I want online without having to put up with dismissive behaviour. These types of stores are like dinosaurs, without the recognition that art supplies are very easily available in the much more extensive and often more affordable digital marketplace. I've had it with retail in Toronto. And yes, a three-star rating is MORE than fair.

Alan Stiers provides horrid customer service, and he is the manager. He will ignore and refuse to…read morehelp you. I get that this place offers occasional student pricing that fits into student budgets however, it is not okay to sell paints and supplies way past its expiration date. They also reuse cardboard packaging that they send out to customers in the mail, disguised as "eco-friendly," but in reality, you are getting a really unsanitary used box. All in all, very scummy experience and also, he is very unfriendly to BIPOC! Stay Away, and buyers beware.

C'mon, now.

The selections of everything you could possibly want from clay, paint, glue...etc to get creative is all here. Woohoo~ The super helpful gentleman behind the counter was more than happy to let me snap some photos to share with my cosplay-enthusiast family and we're planning on going back to check out other supplies.

Beware of Customer service and return policies. They may ship you an unusable product and then…read morehide behind the internet sites' return policies. Read them! They are the opposite of Amazon or Prince's Auto. Note: An item (maybe returnable), there will be a restocking fee, shipping both ways is at your expense, if they agree to a return they may not make any of these costs know to you when they agree to a return. I would have kept the purchase I made and saved myself the aggravation. Deal with some other company or risk a substandard product and customer service. I extended good faith to this company and got a "got you" it's a "tough luck" reward for my trouble. Try Amazon they are great arbitrators for abusive retail practices. Over two months later I haven't seen a penny back. Michael

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY…read more EDIT 2: I went to the cops and showed them the 15+ logged calls and the threat email the owner sent me. They gave him a courtesy call and he ranted at them like a crazy person. The problem is presumably solved but we'll see. EDIT: Eugene Beker, owner of the company, has now called me over 15x and sent me a threatening email to harm my friends and myself over the 3 star Google rating. An invitations print shop run by a typical old European male who mansplains and overcharges for ok quality work and gets away with it probably because it's the wedding industry. 50 invitations for $650+? I found more than one places that can print better quality for less than half that price and faster turnaround, and went with them instead. The initial consultation was so heavy with exasperation on his part and so many unnecessarily belittling comments that I left a 3 stars rating on Google. They've been spam calling me all day even though they're supposed to be closed today? Over 10 calls and that's only after I've already blocked the first number. (Try emailing me maybe?!) Print with them if you want for your wedding needs, but there are definitely way better options out there if you do your research properly.

Beautifully Mastered & Professional! We came to ESCO with only 4 months until our wedding. Eugene…read morewas very professional, courteous and knowledgeable and the time constraint did not affect the quality or design of the invitation. We opted for the metallic envelopes so we could have the addresses printed rather than having to hire a calligrapher and while this was very convenient the only problem was that the spread sheet was copy & pasted and was not checked prior to printing for any spelling errors or missed capitalization's, so we did have a few invitations with errors on them. Overall, I would have still used ESCO and I recommend them for any type of invitation need.

And the costs are rather outrageous if you ask me! Along came this company in Whitby, ont that will refill your inkjet cartridges empties for a small portion of what you would pay to get a brand new one. PLUS you don't have to throw out the empty cartridge, thus reducing unnecessary waste! I had 10 cartridges to refilled today...6 blacks and 4 colored ones... to purchase brand new ones...id say i would easily spend $120-$150. I paid less than $75 to get them refilled here. Only took 1 hour... and it being in such a great area full of shops and places to eat or sip coffee, the 60 minute wait was nothing! Now, do me a favor, tell all your friends about this place. We need to help our fellow yelpers on saving money and our mother earth by reducing waste! they also sell high quality new compatible inkjet / toner cartridges for much cheaper as well as other business services! ps... please note, when u enter the place, .just a lot of printers/ink & toners stocked up .you will find a very diligent male person by the name of Chris working away and he is very nice. just busy working. =)
