Several weeks ago, I needed some medical equipment, and called Calmedi. They were friendly and…read morehelpful, and I stopped by their shop on 16th ave (note - they've moved to the old Enterprise car rental building a while back). They were patient and helpful - I was new at needing medical equipment and though I was feeling a bit unsure, they made me feel welcome. I explained my issue, and they took the time to look through their inventory to find just what I was after. Then, they gave me a GREAT price. Thanks, folks!

I had encountered a con artist who had a reputation of cheating people and I now wasn't sure who to trust. It turned out they sold scooters and the entire process could not have been more wonderful. I was recovering from ill health, and they accommodated my circumstances very kindly. They brought a selection of scooters out to me, so I could try them and determine which suited my needs. Knowledgeable, forthright, kind, and generous are words I think exemplify how they run their company. They know a scooter means independence to me, and they worked to get one to me quickly. I truly felt it was important to them. I so appreciated the personal service, and I see this reflected in the warranties and service policies they offer as well. I now know that there are unsavoury characters in this field. It's why I think it's so important for people to know that Proactive is the direct opposite of that. It is run by people who truly care and want the best for you and will work with you to find the best solution. I am in LOVE with my Shoprider and am out and about exploring my neighbourhood, running errands and flying through leaf piles. Can't wait to travel with her. Proactive Health and Wellness truly changes lives.

When I wanted to switch out the scooter for a different one - with bigger tires - again they brought it out to my home. They are super responsive and easy to work with.

I've been through a terrible experience with Star Building Supplies that has caused me hundreds of…read moredollars in wasted materials, and I hold them directly responsible for this due to their complete lack of ability to accurately estimate materials requirements. I recently had a new garage build, and my builder used Star for provision of all materials (except concrete). One of the materials was Hardie Board siding, a very expensive finishing material. This had to be ordered from the factory, as it is not a standard stock item for Star. That would have been fine, if Star had estimated for the job correctly. My builder sent Star the building prints and Star estimated for the siding. At the end of the job, I had 32 boards left over, worth about $500; This quantity would have allowed me to cover another entire wall, so the estimating was about 25% overage. My builder contacted Star about a return, and after a long delay and multiple messages sent and ignored, he was informed that this material could not be returned, not even for a credit. They claimed that it was up to us to validate their estimate, as their estimating was a 'free' service. I checked with my builder, and he was NEVER asked to validate the quantity before it was delivered. In spite of repeated emails and messages, the manager, Lorrie never did respond to my requests to discuss the matter. He chose instead to completely ignore the incident. As a result, I had to eat hundreds of dollars in waste material, all because of Star's complete incompetence in estimating. (Incidentally, the guy who did the estimating for my project is 'no longer with the company' we learned. Surprise, surprise.) Star isn't even a member of the Better Business Bureau... no surprise there. I'm done with Star Building Supplies, and I hope that builders in Calgary understand that there are substantial risks in using this type of non-responsive supplier on their projects.

Prices are competitive and delivery has always been on time. As for Guil's Hardie Board review: that material is special order in a lot of colours and only comes in full lifts.
