I've got to pipe up! I love it that Princess Auto has opened up shop in the true west end of…read moreOttawa! If you are familiar with the brand, Princess Auto sells all kinds of car maintenance products, and shelving and other items to outfit your garage to do the repairs and maintenance required. They have things to fix your car: wheels and tires (after all, it's winter now... are your snow tires on?); doodads to check the pressure of your tires; trailer hitches; and all and sundry for the DIY car enthusiast. So why do *I* like it when I don't know the right side of a wrench? Because they are Canadian owned and operated, and they sell work gloves and those heating things to keep your hands and feet warm in the winter. I go there maybe every 3-4 months to check out what is on display. It's different than a hardware store, but also good and useful.

Super dog friendly and I love this! I called ahead to check this and some one had actually picked…read moreup the phone! I went in looking for something auto related... which they didn't have. Hmm. PRINCESS AUTO! lol! No car parts here and barely any accessories! More like a Lee Valley Tools. This company is Canadian which is cool and more stores are currently being built. Staff were friendly. Dog treats up front! The store was crammed full of stuff. Nothing fancy. Kind of surplus store meets Canadian Tire. Perfect for the Mr Fix It type guy.

Lots of parking.. right off the Queensway. Camping. Kitchen. Gadgets. Planter's dream. I guess if you need service, you presss a button and get a number! Like the old days! We spent a long time looking. Didn't buy anything but I have a feeling I'll be back. It was fun. Dog friendly too.

The products and prices are usually pretty good at lowe's but the customer service at the location…read moreon Hunt Club is the Worse! The only person that is knowledgeable is the Australian or New Zealand guy who works there. He is great. But I hesitate to go there because the cashiers always screw up, and customer service is brutally slow and they are either not knowledgeable or are untrained. Also their return policies are more strict than other stores. For example we bought a toilet that was defective, and we couldn't return it! I get the whole sanitary thing, but we spend hundreds on a toilet that we could not return. We even called the manufacturer for parts and it still leaked. Finally since we couldn't return it we used caulking! It was such a hassle for weeks and we are still having issues with it! When talking to the plumbing guy at Rona, he said that they would've taking back the toilet in that case, since it was defective. So goes to prove that other places really put the customer first. I've also had tons of issues with items not scanning right, like carpeting here. It took forever to get the pricing resolved as the cashiers had no clue what to do. Ugh so frustrating. Also renting a vehicle is a hassle. Make sure you have a paper copy of your insurance with you. Anyways, I will be avoiding this place as much as possible unless they have a good paint sale. It's just not worth the hassle to go to lowe's otherwise.

I went to Lowes with a specific washer in mind,to purchase but the Sales man (Rocco)told me they…read moredid not have it in stock&showed me another&I agreed to purchase that; Whirl pool top loading washer 4.4 WHICH WHIRL POOL STATES SHOULD LAST 10-13 YRS....3 MONTHS&3WEEKS LATER(JULY 8)this washing machine stops functioning... It will not drain &would stop in wash cycle; I approach the Manager who says to me"are you sure an electrical storm wasnt the cause of the control panel being fried"???? I did not get any help whatsoever! I was treated very poorly by this manager! Anyways..the repair man tells me after replacing the main control board,that the motor is rusted out!!!Are you kidding me??? I have been waiting 3 weeks for repairs to be completed&was told that they're still waiting for a motor!!! Thats right!!no washer for over 2 months!!! Seems fishy to me that a brand new WHIRL POOL washing machine's control panel&motor both were garbage!!!i In less than 4 months!!?? Apparently Lowes re stocks with returned merchandise! COULD I HAVE GOTTEN A RETURNED ITEM??? Iwent today &spoke to another Manager (pat)who was much nicer about it; He doesnt understand how i got such a bad washing machine&i asked if maybe they had sold me this washer by mistake? Perhaps it was a return &given to me by mistake??? He also stated that he didnt understand why my washer wasnt exchanged UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES! HE IS GOING TO CONTACT JAMIE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE APPLIANCES @LOWES&GET REP INFO... HE THINKS I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER WASHER SINCE 2 MAJOR COMPONENTS WERE AFFECTED! I AM TO CONTACT LOWES TUESDAY SEPT 6TH TO GET RESULTS/ANSWERS. I WILL POST AN UP DATE NEXT WEEK... MEANWHILE WERE DOING OUR LAUNDRY@FREINDS&FAMILY.

TLDR: Imported Asian snacks, drinks, makeup and skincare. Fair prices. Friendly service…read more Anyone who even knows me a little bit knows that I love imported snacks and drinks. So I knew that I would love Mergi Shop. It's been open for a while, but I only recently made my way down there. It's in a rougher part of town, hence the bars on the windows. Public drug use, vandalism and acts of violence are common in this area, especially in the last few years. The store inside is brightly lit, clean and well-organized. Staff are friendly, greeting you as you enter, but leave you to browse on your own. If you need assistance though, they will help. I came to buy a specific Japanese mascara base (the Japanese make the best mascaras, IMO). Unfortunately, they didn't have it, but they had other items, including regular mascara of the same brand (Kiss Me Heroine Make). I got a mascara ($18.79) and decided to try their liquid eyeliner ($16.49) too, since the store was having a 10% off sale and I wanted to make my trip down there worthwhile, lol. They had lots of chips and other snacks from Asia and also imported drinks. They had mostly items from Japan and Korea that are harder to find. Not stuff from China that you can easily get at Kowloon Supermarket, Green Fresh or T&T. Their prices are very fair considering they are imported goods and rarer to find in Ottawa. I really enjoyed poking around looking at stuff in this store. Street parking only. (88)

A decent selection of frozen food for such a small store. They have a lots of drinks from coffee, tea, juices and soft drinks. Surprisingly they have some cosmetics as well. Some items seem to have really high prices while others seem like they're reasonably priced or cheaper than expected I'd give this place a 3.5 if I could but rounding up Go check it out for yourself!

He talked us through several projects and not only helped us find what we need but helped us figure out how to do it correctly. In fact, everyone who works here is super kind. When we went around back to pick up the wood we'd paid for inside we realized we'd asked for the wrong size. We apologized to the guy helping us load up and told him we made a mistake and he said: "oh man, it happens! The only people who don't make mistakes are the ones who don't do anything!" As new homeowners trying to tackle things ourselves when we can, this was just exactly what we needed to hear that day. Thanks guys! See you soon!
