I have been prescribed graduated compression stockings for venous insufficiency for over 20 years…read more The Canada Revenue Agency considered prescribed graduated compression stockings as tax exempt when a written order from a medical practitioner is supplied. In British Columbia, prescribed compression stockings are typically tax exempt, meaning that they are not subject to Provincial Sales Tax. When I bought my prescribed Sigvaris Compression stockings with a copy of my prescription at my local Pharmacy, I did not have to pay GST or PST but not at Paris EveryBODY!! Their billing system charges PST for prescribed compression stockings!! When I called them to question their error, I was advised that I can claim my PST charges myself from CRA!! I am NOT IMPRESSED with PARIS everyBODY's service model. One has to pay for tax exempted items at the retail store at the store's convenience so one can claim the tax charges next year!! Since I had already ordered 3 custom prescribed Sigvaris compression stockings, I did not have the choice to refuse my ordered items. So I ended up paying PST for all 3 items!! If I had this information prior to my order, I would not have ordered SIgvaris compression stockings from Paris everyBODY!!!!!

If you've ever had an old dog or an aging parent, you know that stage: the stage where you watch…read morethem gradually slow down, dragging their feet or limping, until you have to wonder how many good years they have left. In the case of your dog, it may even be time to visit the Granville Island Veterinary Clinic, where a kind veterinarian will let you hold Spot's paw as he is ushered into the Elysian Fields. In the case of your aging parent, however, you just need to visit Paris Orthotics. I've been an Paris Orthotics customer -- or is it patient? -- for many years, and have had several pairs of long-lasting orthotics that keep my middle-aged feet and knees working happily. When I got ambitious enough to start snowboarding, a Paris Orthotics staffer even spent an hour with me, adjusting the way my orthotics sat in my snowboarding boots, so that I could enjoy my new sport pain-free. So when my aging but still active mother moved to Vancouver, I knew that there was only one spot that would keep her -- as a longtime orthotics evangelist -- in working order. She's relied on Paris Orthotics for the better part of a decade, getting her orthotics adjusted as her feet, knees and hips have aged, so that she's been able to keep up her two-hour-a-day walking regime even though she's now 78. But what really put the Paris team to the test was when my mom hit her first real mobility impairment. After an uncharacteristically snowy winter, my mom developed significant knee pain, stemming from the way she'd shuffled across icy sidewalks. She worked her way across the city, seeing doctors, arthritis specialists, pilates teachers, massage therapists and physical therapists. She saw some improvements...but she still relied on a cane to get around. Then she checked in with Martha Paris, who met with her several times in order to evaluate her gait and find out exactly where the pain was occurring. She adjusted my mom's orthotics and got her to switch to a lighter pair of shoes. Now, a month later, my mom is back on her feet -- and walking cane-free! Thanks to Paris Orthotics, I can see that my mom has many good, mobile years ahead of her. I'm celebrating by taking her to the park so she can chase a frisbee.

But she said I needed a toe wedge because my big toe was slinking to one side. She gave me a little wedge and told me to wear it. I said, " wouldn;t it fall out when I walk?" She told me my shoe would keep it in. I explained that I am a retired senior and am barefoot 75 percent of the day. So she said I should get one that straps on. But they were not of stock. She said they should be in in 2 weeks. 3 weeks later they called and said they still were not there but they have them in Oshawa. I asked her to have one (or a few) transferred and they could not do that. So 3 more weks, went by and they said, our location just got 8 in stock. I asked her to hld one for me as I do not live around the corner and dont know when I could be there. she said they cannot do that. WHAT?!?@!?!?! I just spent 600 dollars and you cannot hold an 18 dollar item for a couple weeks? nope she said. So I just said"thank you for the call" That is terrible service and guess what. The Orthotics are not worth 600 dollars and they dont even work. Company is a big FARCE1

I had a shoe in mind that I wanted to try before I bought. I had a giftcard to use which can only…read morebe used in-store vs online so thats why I had to go to another store to find my shoe. I came in and asked if i could try on the shoe even without an appoitnment and the staff was very accommodating to offer help. Greeted right when I stepped in. Sahil was kind enough to check their store stock as well as their distribution warehouse that is attached. I had an appointment at another location a week ago so I had an idea of the footwear I was looking for. Sahil followed up after bringing me the shoe and helping other people in the store. He was able to provide good insight on the shoe I was trying. Generally impressed with my experience at kintec because the you can tell the staff have either worn many of the shoes themselves or know what they are talking about. Despite trying on a pair of shoes that were on sale and one that was not, I didn't feel pressured to go for the more expensive one as some stores do. I had learned that they don't get commissions for sales so maybe that's why. The store was spacious, clean abd organized. This particular store was a bit in a sketchy area that mostly has car dealership stores but it has its own parking lot which is convenient as it was on King George Boulevard which is a main road thst could get busy. That being said , I was able to find 2 hr street parking too ( I didn't expect a parking lot). Sahil said this store had the warehouse and the lab attached and some of the other stores don't I'd be coming back here for any future shoes for sure! I would consider this store first because of the stock they have. They had stock of a shoe I wanted to try in the other store but didn't have the size. They also do custom orthotics, over the counter orthotic, have shoes stuff/ accessories and braces for knee and elbow etc support.

I would like to rate my inter-action with the Kintec Customer Service agent I spoke to on Sept 6th…read moreearly evening. When I called the Kintec Customer Service I spoke to an agent named Parneeth. She was so rude when I inquired about setting an appointment with a consultant to present my prescription for an ankle brace and extra wide toe box runners to accommodate an ankle brace and orthotics. Instead of helping me with my inquiry since I was asking a question and clarifying on the ankle braces they offer at Kintec, she cut me off and ended my call. This is why I went to Kintec-Richmond the following day, Sept 7th, to inquire personally. This is where I spoke to Ryan, the sales associate/ consultant who truly helped with my needs. I even mentioned to Ryan about the call I made to Kintec Customer Service and how rude the agent, Parneeth, was when cut me off and ended my call. She should be re-trained on providing good customer service to the clients.
