The most improved and most tech savvy store in Metrotown IMO…read more Zara @Metrotown has been renovated and it looks like one of those high end stores. The floor is well designed and organized so customers can view most of the merchandise all at once. There aren't that many mirrors on the floor though which I thought was smart. This will prevent customers from trying on clothes outside the fitting rooms. When people try on clothes out on the floor, it makes the store look crowded and disorganized. It's better for the store and the customers to go to the fitting rooms instead. What really caught my attention was how easy it is to pick up an online order. There's a corner where you can scan your QR code and your order is delivered in front of you like a soda can in a vending machine. I thought it was really cool! In addition, there are self-checkout machines where you can pay and bag your merchandise on your own. It's all so easy. The instructions are all enumerated on the screen and are easy to follow. I'm loving this whole new contactless checkout and online pickup! Kudos to Zara.

Had a very disappointing experience at the Zara Metropolis location. The security guard stopped my…read morehusband with an unnecessarily harsh tone while he was holding a few items and simply looking for me inside the store. We explained several times that we were shopping together and planned to pay for everything at once, but the interaction was unprofessional and uncomfortable. The store manager was present but offered absolutely no assistance, no explanation, and no effort to resolve the situation. There was no disrespect from the manager, but the complete lack of response and indifference made the whole experience even more frustrating. This level of customer service is unacceptable for a brand of this size.

I'm functionally colour blind, so I typically require a fair bit of help matching things and not looking like a monkey screwing a football. Well, I'm pleased to say that any relation or resemblance to simians engaging in coitus with recreational equipment is coincidental and not in the hands of these fine folks. I asked to be matched to a photo of a dress my significant other will be wearing, and was pleased to find a whole slew of ideas and concepts slung my way. Point is, I look damn fine and it's their doing.

The customer service representative specifically REALLY like to convey the fact that they are unhappy being there. The management is just clueless about customer service. To the owner of this store: When you look around at other stores during the holidays and wonder why they have so many more customers than you do, I hope you're asking yourself why. Le Chateau as a brand is now a joke.

The experience I have is very nice, she is very friendly, very kind and very helpful. Above all, her customer service was "old school", she's pleasant and smiled and chatted with me, asked questions to find out what I might like, and I felt that she was interested in actually helping me honestly rather than just pushing a sale. Such a lovely change from the usual feeling I get where I get the sense the sales person is disinterested and not particularity friendly, and do just want to push a sale. I don't like fake reviews and I don't usually bother to write reviews since most times shopping nothing happens that makes me feel that I want to. Dealing with Pinty was just a really nice experience, and I just want to thank her and compliment her on her kindness and professionalism that actually do a review. I will look forward to dealing her again. Helene

My favorite store in Vancouver…read more They have multiple brand for Canadian designers. I'm a big fan of Joseph Ridcoff. Most of my clothes are from Joseph, what I really like about this brand is the style and the quality. Although I live in Coquitlam and there is Bellesima store in Port Moody but I prefer to go to the one inside the Metrotown. They have more selection and the staff are very nice and helpful.

I came here to get a nail polish and file set for a birthday party that I was attending for one of my girlfriends who has been obsessed with using cheap nail polish and good polish to use for free style art.

When I went to the store in Metrotown location, I was helped by an employee named Zask and I just want to say how professional, kind, and welcoming he was. He made the whole return process so simple and stress-free. I really appreciated his positive attitude and the way he treated me as a customer, something I honestly haven't experienced at my usual branch. Thank you for the great service!

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I do agree that some items here are a little bit…read moreoverpriced. But hear me out. Aritzia clothing are of premium quality. I have pieces here that's been with me for years. The only reason I stopped wearing them is because I got tired of wearing for too long. 2 years I think is too long to wear the same jacket/coat lol. I'll give you a tip, you should ask one of the staff (the one you like, honest and not pushy) to be your SA. Here are the reasons why: 1. You don't have to deal with SAs you don't like. 2. You can make appointments through your personal SA and you will have the clothes in your fitting room ready for you. 3. You don't have to waste time looking for the pieces you like. 4. You don't have to line up. 5. If you find items that are sold out, your SA can monitor and order for you when the items become available. 6. You can order by texting your SA and you can have it delivered to your house. 7. And last but not least, your SA can let you know when the new pieces are coming in and will recommend pieces which you might like. If you have your own personal SA, she would know your size and your style. It's easier to shop this way specially when items are only available in the store and of course no one wants to be in crowded places these days. My SA from Metrotown Aritzia is Jamie H. I highly recommend her. She's stylish, friendly, honest and her service goes beyond customer-seller. She can be your friend lol. If you want to experience great quality service, get your own SA. My 2 cents.

Although they have a decent selection of dresses, beware of having your new dress altered here! My…read moremom bought a dress here, it was too big but they assured her the alterations would make it perfect. They make it sound like they're giving you an awesome deal, asking for payment in advance in cash. The alterations were done so poorly, with the dress top still not fitting properly, the hem being uneven with frayed edges and loose threads showing. We asked for some of the defects to be fixed and they agreed. When we came in the second time the dress was incrementally better. The excuse this time was that the style of dress couldn't be altered the way it needed to. Why didn't they explain that in the first place? If they have professional seamstresses, shouldn't they have known that before hand? They tried to convince us the alterations were good, their attitude was pretty care-less. Too bad we had to pay ahead of time. I'm super disappointed for my mom as she spent over $400 on this dress and decided not to wear it because it didn't fit her properly. I will not be back and encourage you to think twice before shopping here!

uniqlo sits in that sweet spot where everything looks simple, but somehow you still end up buying…read moremore than planned. it's calm, practical, and very easy to browse and shop, clean layouts, neutral colours, and pricing that makes everything feel reasonable in the moment. this location in particular feels spacious and well organized, especially with the two floor layout. neatly arranged sections, wide walkways, and that signature uncluttered look. the wood flooring and bright lighting give it a warm, almost showroom like feel, and everything is folded with that very precise consistency. what also makes this metrotown location stand out is that it's one of the very few in canada that offers utme, their in store custom tshirt and tote printing service. you can design something on the spot and have it printed fairly quickly, which adds a more interactive, personalized element you don't usually get at most uniqlo stores. it may not officially be a "flagship," but features like this make it feel a bit more elevated than your average location. their fabric lines are still the real hook: heattech is built for layering in colder weather. it's thin but surprisingly warm, which works perfectly for vancouver's kind of damp cold. airism is the opposite, light, breathable, and moisture wicking. their airism tshirts are especially reliable for everyday wear: comfortable, easy, and low maintenance. beyond basics, uniqlo keeps things interesting with ut graphics and collaborations. you'll find everything from playful designs like miffy, mofusand, and even kpop group baby monster to more design forward partnerships with roger federer and jw anderson. what stands out most is the consistency. hoodies, tees, and outerwear all feel dependable in both fit and quality. it's the kind of place where you go in for something specific (like a birthday gift) and leave with a few extras that just make sense. and yeah, the vancouver situation still feels a bit limited. compared to tokyo, where uniqlo is everywhere, even inside both major airports, it feels more like a destination here. having to head out to metropolis at metrotown, cf richmond centre, or coquitlam centre makes it more of a planned trip. a downtown vancouver location would fit in naturally (pacific centre would be perfect, hint, hint), especially given how well their basics suit everyday city life. overall, uniqlo keeps things straightforward, but does it well enough that you always come back.

I ordered a denim jacket with a Sales rep named William who put in my order on March 9th. I asked him how long it would take approximately for the jacket to arrive in store and he replied 5-7 business days (reasonable). It has been TWO weeks since I ordered this jacket and have not yet received it. I called the store over 3 times, and walked in to inquire about my item. All their answers were the same, "Your item hasn't arrived yet but we will give you a call when it does." One thing that amazes me is how their distribution center is local in Coquitlam or West Van but they cannot get a product in their store? If they have tracking on my item, then why don't they know where it is? Their supply chain is definitely lacking...since their ordering systems aren't interwind with each other...so if you order an item at one location, the other stores/online customer care cannot track that order because it is not in their system. So basically their head office customer care was no help and couldn't solve my problem at all and just told me to contact Metrotown. They kept on promising it will arrive on XXX date but...yet still not received.
