Went to this store to pickup epoxy glue ... There was a women standing in front of me and suggested I use self checkout... I told her I don't like using those .... I went and waited for someone to come to the cashier counter so I can pay for the glue. After waiting for a few minutes I realized she had store apron on and was just standing around purposely not wanting to take my payment... so I left the item on the counter and left the store. Wonder just how much business this store looses with staff like this cause I'm certainly not going back there? read more

I was very impressed at this store today. I went to this store to get something specific that I've gotten there and at other locations but couldn't find. They had it. I got the last one mind you, but that's not the point I'm making here. The young woman at the cash was working alone, and juggling customers needs both at the cash drawer and the self check out. I was having a problem with my transaction at the self checkout and she proactively approached to help (I had my earbuds in lol) even though she was noticeably busy. She even intuited that I needed wrapping paper because one of my items was a coffee mug and she had it out ready for me. She did this all seamlessly and cheerfully meanwhile attending to other customers. It was like she had four hands and eyes on the back of her head. This girls' a star. Her and everyone like her doing her best in a busy job that doesn't pay all that great. Be nice to them please. That's all that matters now is how we treat each other. Thanks. read more

Nothing too wow at Dollarama. Came here to pick up a few dollar items lunch boxes. Not everything are $1. In the past it was $1 entire store. Now some items cost $1.50+. Stuff here are cheap and don't expect good quality for cheap stuff. Convenient downtown location. Its located inside a mall on Comox street. read more

Who would've guessed there'd be a dollar store in this part of town. Parking here is pretty horrendous - try the side streets W of Denman. As this location was once a movie theatre, do not let the tiny front entrance fool you - the location is completely underground, and is quite huge. The staff were a bit lacking (most were too busy restocking to help), but thankfully the inventory is mostly organized quite well. I was looking for several items, and found them all without too much difficulty. read more

I generally don't buy much from dollar stores but I thought I'd give this one a review because I read the other (insane) reviews and I know this one well as it's across the street from my house. First, to those idiots talking about how they "don't take returns" ... it's a dollar store! Also, what kind of idiot just buys stuff thinking they'll return it if they don't need it? This is a dollar store in Canada, not the Alabama WalMart. Second, to those folks "surprised" that there is a dollar store downtown in this area ... there are three on Denman street alone. Also the whole West End area is depressed and impoverished, which if you actually lived here, you'd know. There's a cheapo budget grocery store, a seniors centre, and a thrift store in the same mall! It ain't Rockefeller Centre. Finally, it's not "news" that some stuff in the store (most of it really) "costs more than a dollar." Stuff hasn't been a dollar since they used to call them "five and dime stores." All that being said, it's an alright dollar store because it's pretty vast. Obviously don't ever buy food here. Obviously wash everything after you buy it, and obviously it's all junk and will poison your family and fall to pieces before the year is out. That's the way it works. ITS A DOLLAR STORE! Get it? read more

Good store in the basement of a rundown strip mall. Staff I interacted with did not seem to be happy to be there. Good selection. Decent selection of Party supplies - best find was square Royal Chinet plates (16) for $3.50, score! Disappointing that there are no refunds or exchanges, that seems excessive and unreasonable. read more

I am. So. Happy. That they opened up where they did. Now, I have a fully stocked Dollarama so close to home! By all means, get your food somewhere else, but Dollarama is so good for everything else! I love the greeting cards. Cheap and pretty! A pair of gorgeous rubber gloves for $2. Those wear out so quickly, especially when you wash in hot water like I do. Seasonal decoratives? Check! Get your Christmas lights, New Year banners, and birthday balloons all in one place. Doing a little arts and craft? You're sure to find something of interest down that aisle. My latest purchase, also a first for me at a dollar store: nail polish remover. $2. It works! Locally made, so in it I trust! You got your band-aids, toothbrushes, toothpaste (!), and other household essentials for cheap. Batteries for $2.50. Why not? We indulge in the odd candy bar now and then. Those are just fine from a dollar store. I guess you can say I quite enjoy my visits to a Dollarama. Ha! read more

Can't get enough of this place. Fitted out my kitchen for super cheap, although couldn't find pots. Always go there for cheap holiday/seasonal decorations. Valentines day. Xmas. Easter etc. Oh and super cheap energy drinks and they even taste great! read more

BEWARE - NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES!! I was going to give this store a high score as they do have a large selection and most items are around $1 (unlike some other dollar stores where everything is $15), but I was fairly disappointed to find out that they don't do returns. It wasn't like it was a food or clothing item, it was a decorative item; I had receipts and all tags were still on. Maybe this is normal for dollar stores... I don't know. Either way, not really impressed. Luckily I'm only out a few bucks. read more

This was the Denman Place Mall movie theatre which had been limping along for the past few years. Now it's the large and well stocked Dollarama but you will have to be determined to look around because the air conditioning isn't functioning yet and it is surprisingly hot for a subterranean store. There is a good variety of non perishable food as well as good prices on brand name chocolate bars. There is a very large kitchen ware section including all kinds of table textiles like placemats, and fabric as well as laminated plastic tablecloths. The gift wrapping section includes some cute American made greeting cards with animal photos for $1 which don't have the puzzling/hilarious Chinese- English wishes inside. But beware the plastic-ended thumb tacks which I discovered at home later have to be forced into cork surfaces. They have unexpected items from dessert- shaped pencil erasers to knee pads for sports and a lot of pet products from treats and food to mats which trap cat litter. The line of Betty Crocker kitchen gadgets and tools like silicone spatulas for $2 looks promising. Those famous name German biscuits are there as well as huge boxes of Marias and some very affordable Italian wafer biscuits which look like Manner wafers. The staff is uniformly helpful and sincere. read more

I love Dollarama. The most awesome thing that I received for Valentine's Day was a Dollarama gift card (yes I am that girl). I come here to get some cheap bake wear and for some crafting supplies. The stock rotates regularly. I come here mainly for holiday decorations. I got a bunch of Halloween decor my house this season from here. read more

Pretty good kitchen options, including tile laminate (?!) not to mention rollers, paint supplies, and some random food. It could just be the season but I found half of the store was party supplies.... Don't get me wrong, this is Vancouver, but I found as a resident looking for some things for the home and basic home repair items (decor supplies as I make my own, cheap wall shelves, storage containers, etc) it lacked. But if you find yourself suffering a shortage of wall hooks, this would be your saving grace! read more

Filthy and it looks like a 3rd world dump. I am very disappointed as I have pointed out to staff and management how disgustingly dirty the elevator is - twice. Nothing has been done to clean them. Really? Then I took the escalator to leave the place today and it was just as bad - junk spilled on the sides and the step are filthy too. They should be reported to the health department. read more

Dollarama is the best store in its category hands down. They have beaten the category stereotype by bringing decent product lines.

I just had a weird experience here with being overcharged in a less than ethical way. I bought a few items and when the total came up I was shocked as always about how quickly things add up in that store. I remember what the total was very well, which will make sense later in my story. I paid with my debit card and the cashier put the receipt in the bag but did so with an odd sort of flourish, which I noticed but didn't think much of. I got home and didn't even unpack my bag of goodies, putting them in the closet. This morning I looked at my online banking statement and noticed that I was overcharged exactly $10 from the total at the cash register. Yes, I should have paid more attention to the debit machine total when I ok'd the purchase and put in my info but the store was busy and I didn't have my glasses on. I thought that the discrepancy wasn't a big deal as people can enter a wrong amount in error and I only had to get my itemized receipt from my bag and take it in to the store to show the $10 difference between the total on the receipt and the amount taken from my account. Much to my surprise there was no receipt in my bag when I looked. I was 100% sure the receipt was put in there (I remembered the odd hand action I saw) but I checked my wallet and purse as well. No receipt. Now that odd hand flourish started to seem more sinister. Did she only pretend to give me my receipt and actually drop it on the floor behind the counter? Did she intentionally add $10 to the debit machine amount to take out of the till in cash later. I really don't want to think this way but I wonder. And, obviously, I cannot get my $10 back as I have no proof without a receipt. Another thing happened when my order was being rung up that now seems to support my theory. They had a security guard on duty and he went behind the counter and stood behind the cashier as she was ringing my stuff up. She got annoyed with him and stopped what she was doing to tell him that he could only stand at a different part of the store. I thought it was odd that she seemed so uncomfortable with him being there as he could very well have been checking to see what I was paying for was what he saw me put in my basket. He is a loss prevention person after all and his job is to make sure that people pay for what they take. In any case, I really hope I am wrong about this but what this long story is trying to say is make sure your receipts add up correctly and don't use your debit card until you are sure the totals are correct. read more

Typical dollar store and up, but many of their prices have gone up in the past year and when you consider a item is $1.25 to $3.00+ and they price goes 50 cents to a $1 percentage wise that's a large increase. The major problem with Dollarama is the mislabeling of their products. It list one price on the shelf but when you go up to the till point it comes out a different price. When you point out the price difference they explained customers move the product. When you point out an entire 3 foot shelf has only that item how would a customer want to move 50 cans of an item to fill an empty shelf. It would be far better to admit your under staffed minimum wage ever changing staff who only work 20 hours a week are poorly trained, paid and supported put the cans on the wrong shelf. This is another problem they can't keep staff at the way they treat them. The manager would rather blame customers for the poorly stocked, maintain shelves than admit the store is poorly supported and stocked. This other issue is they cannot maintain product, it can take months before they can get stock in. I for one will no longer go there due to the poorly run store, the way they treat customers, the shocking line-ups and the shocking way they mistreat staff. This is exactly why unions came into being mistreatment of workers. read more
