    I feel 'guilty' (well, not really.......) ripping Toronto/Ontario... but the reality is; taxes are…read moreextremely high and items/goods are tremendously overpriced. A bottle of vodka at Duty Free USA is $21.50.. Same bottle in Ontario is $69.50............................... (lots of dots to ponder), reality/truth is ONTARIO is a terrible place to shop/buy. After spending a few weeks in 5 different states; if you have the means/opportunity, go to AMERICA!!! Regardless if the dollar is .80 cents to the dollar or even .65 cents to the dollar. Shoes, clothes, food, drink are just more affordable. You can go to a bar and have a drink for $2.. $2.50; try to get a drink in Toronto for under $9 (rarity). In other words; duty free makes a lot of sense. As does shopping/supporting America and it's retailers; there's no glory in being taxed 13% and paying double for 'stuff' in Ontario.

    Even though the address here is correct, the image on the Yelp map does not display the store in…read morethe correct location, and possibly for a check-in. It is actually on Wellsley Island, on the America's side just before you cross northward into Canada. If you are going south from Canada into the US, you want Thousand Islands Duty Free. As you would expect, there are deals here on a variety of items, most notably alcohol, cigarettes, and cologne, but other items, souvenirs, etc. Prices and procedures are standard. Shop carefully - some things are very good deals, some are not. The facility is clean, the rest rooms are well maintained - and a good place to stop first if there's a long line waiting to enter Canada. There a few benches outside and an area which offers you a great view of part of the St. Lawrence River and some of the nearby islands.

    I have shopped at Arsenal Wine and Liquor for over a decade. Within the last year, I have run into…read moreproblems with deliveries and employees. It isn't bad enough that their deliveries are always a problem but their employees are very unhelpful. If I didn't want one particular spirit that only they sell, I would not shop there. Let me give you the rundown. Everytime I order a delivery, something is always wrong. At -10 degrees, I don't want to go out to shop in store or do a pickup. So, I ordered a delivery. When it was half an hour after it was scheduled to be delivered and still had not shown up, I called. The employee who answered the phone told me that it was ready for pickup. I told him that I had paid for delivery. We went back and forth for a while before he decided to check with another employee. He was told that it was a delivery order. Then, he told me that no one was available to deliver it at that time. By the time I received the order, it was over an hour late. Good thing it was nothing that I needed right away. Prior to this, I had tried to use the free delivery offer that I received in my email. When I started to checkout, it showed that I had to pay for delivery. I called the store to ask about this issue. The employee I spoke with told me that they could not do anything about the delivery charge because it was offered through a different company. That was it. Tough luck. We lied. We don't care. We just collect the money. At this point, I want to reach out to tell others how bad the service at Arsenal Wine and Liquor is. Personally, I will start looking for other stores that might have a different spirit that I don't mind even if I can't buy the one that I really want. So, good luck with deliveries from Arsenal Wine & Liquor. Good luck finding any helpful employees. Don't expect much because you will not get much. Yes, I will be writing reviews about City Hive, the delivery company, at Trustpilot and Sitejabber.

    Big selection, helpful staff, prices are a little high on some products but over all good.read more
