For a moment, I thought this could be the new XS Cargo--a Canadian discount chain that closed down several years ago and I have longed for the return of. I was aware that many Amazon products that are returned get sold to liquidators, so I entered the store with expectations of pretty competitive pricing. What I found was a pretty broad collection of cheaper-quality products at, what seemed like retail or near-retail prices. In spite of signage assuring me otherwise, the discounts that I saw just quite didn't rationalize the purchase price for me. After all, some of these products may even be defective Amazon returns and the savings just weren't substantial enough to take that risk. While the products may indeed be acquired through a liquidation sale, or Amazon palette auction model, the price that consumers like me see doesn't quite reflect that. It feels like someone's making a handsome markup here.

We brought home our two Devon Rex kittens -- Mac and Tosh -- from Chimbuka Cattery over a year and…read morea half ago, and we couldn't be happier with the experience or how they've grown. From the start, Chimbuka kept us fully informed throughout the process. They sent us regular updates, photos, and videos of the kittens as they grew, which helped us feel connected and excited while we waited. We were even welcomed to visit the kittens in person before bringing them home -- something that meant a lot to us. Both kittens were healthy, playful, and well-socialized from day one. They adjusted quickly to our home and are still the most affectionate, curious little characters. It's clear they were raised in a loving, cage-free environment. Communication was always clear and thoughtful, and we appreciated Chimbuka's fair and compassionate approach to pricing -- they charge based on what clients can afford, which is rare and deeply appreciated. Chimbuka is registered with TICA, CCA, and CFA, which gave us extra peace of mind. While there weren't many reviews online when we first found them, our experience has been absolutely wonderful. If you're looking for loving, well-adjusted Devon Rex kittens raised with care, integrity, and genuine passion, we highly recommend Chimbuka. Mac and Tosh have brought endless joy to our lives.

I have only lived in St. Catharines for 4 years and Mark's NoFrills was one of the first grocery…read morestores I attended when I first moved here.... and I have not regretted it one bit. The food selection is excellent. The vegetables and fruits are plentiful and always fresh, along with being reasonably priced. The staff are courteous and friendly. The store is kept very clean. There is one particular employee whom I would like to spotlight. Her name is Leslie and she epitomizes excellence. I would like to commend her for being an incredibly friendly and conscientious employee. Her work ethic is incredible and she has an amazing demeanour. Kudos to Leslie and the good folks at Mark's NoFrills.

I can't thank the staff at this location enough! Great experience... long story!…read moreWent in for an oil change on a Friday afternoon and drove home and then didn't go out again with the car until Sunday morning for groceries. When I started the car I noticed the check engine light was on. I called the shop first thing when they opened on the Monday and explained what happened and asked if it was ok to come in and have them take a quick look to make sure nothing was loose or out of place possibly or something else? I was told to come down it was no problem at all! All the work under the hood was checked and all was well and the car was then hooked up to the diagnostic machine and it was an error P2401(gas cap!!!!!) No charge to hook up and diagnose It either!! This was so nice and showed great customer care and I really appreciated it!!!!

When I'm in the area I usually dropped in here to do my oil change. Yes its a bit more in cost than…read moresay Walmart, but at least service is fairly quick. I had an incident recently where a crack developed in my windshield within an hour of leaving after my service completion. It started at the bottom in the same area they were accessing the cabin filter where the cover tabs need to be pried off. Of course the worker was having trouble enough for the manager to go over to help and put in a new peg that was damaged. Thought nothing of it. So after getting to the car wash noticed a crack starting so I go back and it gets longer and eventually stops. Talked to manager, he said its not possible that it was from their work that a stone hit it. This was not possible because the crack started underneath the cover they needed to take off. Needless to say, I'll be driving with a cracked windshield until I can afford the $500 to replace it. Needless to say, I'm never going back and neither my circle of friends.

I brought my mom to see the optometrist because she really needs new prescription glasses…read more We filled in the intake form. After 35 mins, the assistant did some initial tests. At 55 mins, the optometrist saw her and did more tests like an eye chart. The optometrist is a pleasant person. I sat in the room with the optometrist. He did quite a thorough examination. He is good with seniors. My mom likes to talk a lot, and so does the optometrist.  The issue is that the appointment lasted a total of 2 hours instead of the usual 45 mins. As they both kept speaking and telling stories, the optometrist kept doing his work, so I thought it wasn't finished. At some point, I spoke up and said we are late for other appointments.  Then the optometrist said I should have spoken up earlier because he was done 30 mins prior! What?! Perhaps the things he was doing were optional. If it weren't for the extended talking and stories, I would have given a 5-star rating. There is no free WiFi. The place is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom. There is free parking in the strip mall parking lot. Review 2023-199
