Grab a coffee and get ready to hear the story of the most unprofessional business transaction ever…read more Here's my story, upon hearing it, I hope you guys can learn from all the headaches I've endured with this company. 1) Placed an order on their webpage on a regular priced item, entered all payment detail. Nothing is shipped on the promised ship date. Days later, received an email from the probable owner of the store that they actually don't have the model in stock and there is no ETA on the arrival date of next batch. Furthermore, when and IF it finally arrives, the price on the webpage was too low and needs to be raised by $25 for no reason besides "The price has gone up and we can't control it". The owner didn't even apologize or acknowledge that this practice is complete BS. 2) Various emails were exchanged to express my dissatisfaction of the situation. He explained the difficulties of keeping track of his +1 million dollar inventory and the fact that since they're selling it below the MSRP of the product, its fair game to raise it (ya because everyone knows that as long as the price of something you buy is lower than the MSRP of the producut, everyone is getting a killer deal). 3)Finally I agreed on the higher price and unknown ETA because of the fact that I would rather pay a couple of bucks more to support a Canadian business over foreign businesses. HERE'S THE ICING ON THE CAKE: he was nice enough to inform me that the new quoted price is not a firm price anymore! It might go up even more when it actually arrives because his supplier might charge him "fuel surcharge increase, ship rate increase, exchange rate increase and so on, the retail price will reflect any of these increases." (THESE ARE HIS ACTUAL WORDS!) 4) Gave up and bought the same model from another Canadian model store located in Toronto. For the same price as when I bought it originally from the GPM website. I don't know anyone who would've even gone past point 1 before cancelling the order. The level of frustration I received from this store is unimaginable. Please just avoid the possible headaches and avoid these guys at all cost. No wonder they have over 1 million dollar of stocks available. Who would ever buy anything from these guys is beyond me!?

I have many friends that come from Toronto and the US to shop here especially during the Grand Prix weekend.

Mise à jour de mon dernier avis (3 ans plus tard) :…read more Je tiens à ajouter une nouvelle expérience. Aujourd'hui, je me suis présenté au magasin pour participer à un locals de Riftbound. Un employé m'a informé que je ne pouvais pas rester jouer et m'a remboursé. Il m'a dit que c'était en lien avec l'avis négatif que j'avais laissé il y a 3 ans. Je trouve ça très décevant d'être encore pénalisé 3 ans plus tard pour avoir simplement partagé une mauvaise expérience. Au lieu d'essayer de s'améliorer et de bâtir une communauté de TCGs, j'ai l'impression que Chez Geeks préfère écarter les clients qui ne vont pas dans leur sens. Pour être nuancé : le prize pool offert par le magasin est excellent, probablement un des meilleurs que j'ai vus. Mais soyez conscients de l'attitude du magasin face aux avis qui ne leur plaisent pas. Entre mon expérience passée (mauvaise attitude du patron, communication difficile et frais de shipping trop élevés) et celle d'aujourd'hui, je recommande aux clients de bien réfléchir avant d'encourager Chez Geeks. Je suis honnêtement déçu de la situation. C'était une bonne occasion de me faire changer d'avis sur le magasin, mais ça confirme mon point encore plus. Edit : étant admins du groupe Riftbound Montréal, je me suis fait ban de ce groupe ayant plus de 2000 personnes de la communauté Montrealaise. C'est ridicule de m'exclure de cette communauté à cause de leur rancune https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DmHHZwGuB/?mibextid=wwXIfr

There's even a mini race car track in the basement for racing events. It looks super cool. I wish we lived closer so we could check out some of the races. All in all, it's a great place to buy engaging and fun models and toys.
