Today I looked up an Alex 9 Drawer unit Canadian price 149$ - planning on buying it for Christmas. I accidentally looked up the USA price .. and to my shock I found that it is TWENTY THREE percent cheaper in the USA at 119$. For the same product that is manufactured overseas and shipped to both contries? OUTRAGEOUS RIPOFF INDCEED! I will never buy at IKEA again. I have been a IKEA shopper all my life.

I've been travel a lot, would not say every country, but 15 major cities for sure. First of all TTC subway is the smallest one, simply 2 lanes. If we will compare with N.Y. or London UK subways., I think is 50 or more times smaller. So been living in N.Y.C for 5 months I took a train every day to get to my job and back. So the question, how many times I've been late because of the service problem? 2 times: once for 20 min, another day something major broke should wait for around 45 min. London UK for 3 months period, again only subway transpiration every day. Stuck once because of suicide on tracks- 45 min.... Toronto- city where I live........ every day subway user. Just last 2 weeks period?????? 4 TIMES. Maintenance service, Always late, mornings-always full, lovely weekend------- no service, shuttle buses. Sunday blue night--- never on schedule on empty roads!!!!!! what would I say????? FUCK TTC, FUCK TTC, FUCK TTC, FUCK TTC, FUCK TTC. FIRE. THEM. ALL?????? Yes agree, and hire 50% less, but young enthusiastic people who willing to work fast and professionally. It should be a simple rule there- if you work bad, slow or people complaint about your slow lazy ass, fired next day, another 100 persons waiting for this position. But for now---------- FUCK TTC.

Our company has tried emailing, faxing, writing letters, speaking with reps (never the same one because we can't seem to locate them again, even with full names, etc.) This has been ongoing since January 2011 and we still get monthly bills - each time we're told - no problem "we'll take care of it and cancel the service - we have all your documentation". It's now September, and our bills are mounting and we CAN'T stop our service ! We gave them 30 days notice, we gave them written notice (email, and when that wasn' good enough, faxed notices) STILL WE GET INVOICES ! How do we stop them !

Only one thing. The hardware is well over 100 dollars cheaper in Michigan. My frustration ultimately lead me to this site. Sad to say that it's now 2011, and Ikea are still up to their dirty tricks. One poster mentioned - "And, by the way, I get it. I get that Canadian retailers have a smaller consumer base so their wholesale buying power is less than that of American retailers. I get that benefits and payroll are more expensive in Canada. I get that import duties are higher in Canada. I get that bilingual packaging (or repackaging) adds to Canadian costs..." I'd like to state that Ikea NEVER opens a new store in the US or Canada unless they will generate X amount of sales and foot traffic in X city. That's why Toronto has 3-4 big Ikeas and Buffalo has a whopping 0. So the smaller consumer base argument for Canada is really a joke. It's not like they're setting up stores in the Northwest Territories and then griping about low sales. The idea that bilingual packaging adds to costs is ridiculous. Regardless of country, you're going to need to print details specific to that region. Ikea realizes that psychologically, Canadians are accustomed to paying more then our US counterparts. How long they will continue to hold that against us, I don't know. But one thing is for sure, I won't be buying any big ticket items from Ikea Canada in the foreseeable future.

As someone who works there (but that actually cares and fights as hard as she can for the customers...) As for the cancellations - i do agree that there are times the lines/accounts are not cancelled properly and theh customer ends up getting additional charges - which should be reversed.... within the first year there IS a contract on the home phones and a cancellation fee if cancelled within that year - BUT we do req 30 days notice after that year and if not given theres a 30 day term fee that most ppl dont know about. For the most part we should be trying to work with the customer on each situation i think but thats not how most of the reps see it!! I try to do my best but again im only one person... I have logded my own concerns with management and nothing seems to be done about it in the long term - its not only the customers that have had issues with other reps and i say something about it EVERY time and its reported but NOTHING happens cause the samething happens again and again. As for the privacy policy - yes it is true that we can NOT speak with anyone that is NOT the account holder or an authorized user but unfortunatley i myself have had customers call in a second or third time after and not on the account at all and after speaking with another rep and getting the info that they wanted (NOT a general answer - actual account info)and when i refuse to give out any info on the account without speaking to the account holder (and i ALWAYS ask if the account holder is around) the person calling yells and gets mad because they were already given info and now i wont provide anything .... I say this because i really want ppl to understand that this is correct - NOT giving info to anyone that is NOT on the account, its for the saftey of the account holder. So please understand that if a rep does give you info and ur NOT on the account they were not supposed to give it so please do NOT get mad at the rep that is doing their job properly and protecting the account holder. As for the Modem Non Return - i myself have seen it many times that a customer is charged after not getting the label until long after it should have been sent out in the first place - know that it should be sent 4-5 business days AFTER the cancellation date (ex if the requested date of cancellation is 6/20 but is requested 30 days before you SHOULD get the label approx 6/24-6/25 business days of course) and then if we dont get the modem back within 30 days then there is supposed to be there charge for the modem - but if the label is not sent out until LONG after the cancellation date its NOT UR FALUT that the modem did not get to us within the 30 days!!!!!! I do NOT agree with not giving the credit for that.... ITS OUR FAULT NOT URS!!!!!! As for crediting an account that was NEVER activated should be a no-brainer... but i guess its confusing for some reps!!! which is stupid... we can see if the dsl has been not only activated but used!!! the bills should just be reversed!! As for refunding a credit card though - if the account is still active the credit will always go back onto the account - but if the account has been closed then unfortunatley it does take 60 days to process the refund because within that time you can have your credit card company cancel the payment which means that if we credit back the amount within that time not only did you get your original money back we have now pretty much paid you but crediting the money onto the credit card - so i know that it seems like we are not crediting it or that its crazy that it takes SO long but unfortunately thats how it has to be. Please dont get me wrong though...... this is only a FEW things that i DO NOT agree with from Primus - even though i work there. I know that sometimes the wait takes FOREVER... and then you either get soemone that doesnt speak english well or at all, or you get bounced between reps/depts, or ppl tell you that there is nothing that can be done, or seems like ppl dont care and to tell the truth there are A LOT of reps that dont care and for that im sorry. Please know that there are reps that DO care and bend over backwards to help and sometimes still hands are tied. I am in NO WAY making excuses i just thought that i would try and shed some light ........ but again please know that there is A LOT of whats been said that is true and i totally agree with!! I do hope that this helps :) First off I would like to apologize to EVERYONE out there that has had an issue with Primus – I am currently an employee there and there are SO MANY things that i agree with on here is bad to be able to say that but i do.

Recently, Rogers decided to nix their services and switch everyone to Primus automatically. I was just moving my business at this time and I decided to give Shaw a call; we are now with Shaw. Primus billed me about 50 dollars for not even a month of service while we transitioned to the new address. I received another bill for additional charges of about 40 dollars for just a few more days service from the last bill! I called them and I was quite angry. I told them I had read so much bad stuff about Primus on the Internet that it wasn't even funny, and that I would not pay them the additional charges (at this point I decided to be "fair" and pay them the original over-inflated amount). The guy on the other line was difficult to understand and the sound was very low/muffled. He told me that I had to give them 60 days notice for cancellation! I told him that I DID let them know last month, and that OH HELL NO it wasn't 60 days.... there were conflicting reports on the Internet saying that sales reps had told people 0-30 days, but I did not see anywhere on there (or their website) about cancellation being 60 days! I was firm and said I am NOT paying Primus for services I am not using through them. He put me on hold to talk to a "Superior" and then afterwards told me that I wouldn't have to pay anything else.

Shaw cable is now charging similar rates for a superior service with practically 100% uptime compared to Primus' lousy phone quality and constant busy line tone (or no tone at all sometimes) Unfortunately I just found out, like many other Ex-Primus customers that in my last invoice I've been hit with "lost equipment" charges even though I returned the PrimusVOIP modem (and with a Canada Post tracking number provided by Primus). This seems to be standard practice for Primus, after you cancel your account and return their equipment - they charge you anyway pretending they never received it! Google "Primus unreturned modem" and see what I'm talking about Just to get the facts out, I cancelled the service in November, got charged a full month and a half extra, return shipping+ $168 ('lost' modem + HST). They did not send return postage until February 2011. That's 4 months after I cancelled, after which I immediately shipped the modem back with all their cables and in the original box. I placed the box inside a waterproof padded plastic shipping bag to ensure nothing got damaged along the way. I have opened a complaint with the better business bureau and will post the story on as many websites as I can. If they do not reverse charges on my invoice, I will have to pursue legal action not just for the money, but because this will create a negative impact on my credit score. I think some media coverage might be in order, CTV, CBC that sort of thing. It seems like Primus is losing the VOIP wars (the shaw modem not only sounds better but has so far 100% uptime) and as a result, their corporate policy dictates they make their money by ripping off their customers. I should note I had been using their VOIP service for almost 5 years= before cancelling. Thinking about using Primus for your VOIP phone ? DON'T DO IT !

Whatever you do please do not use Primus. I've been stuck with it for a few years and its horrible. The people are rude like who are we?! We are your true bosses considering that we pay for your service so you can get a job. For the lazy ones (why not to get primus) -It stops working a lot atleast once a day you will be randomly disconnected and it breaks down a lot for some odd reason -Its VERY SLOW there is not difference between high speed and lite high speed internet except the cost -It takes one week to change from lite to high speed internet?!! You already have the modem etc but why...? -They need to cancel your lite high speed for a week or until you get a mail telling you to mail back your modem and then you still need to wait There WAS NO MENTION of this when i called to change -Suddenly there is an activation fee... 8D... Right tell me why was there no mention of this on the phone. It was just like yup you pay blah blah amount as seen on the website. (I should have expected it but i didn't think switching would need that...Maby I'm just baka) -Are these people trained?! It takes like three people to solve one issue on how to get my internet up and kicking. I keep getting sent back and forth. You're suppose to be in tech oh you're supposed to be in customer service. Why are you here you should be back in tech. Me: -dead- -I usually get fees randomly. Just don't ask i don't really remember but it was a long distant call or something? At 2am in the morning like come on I'm not even awake at that time more over i shouldn't be able to make one unless i have that on my plan. So why am i being charged...? In the End: I AM FED UP D:< I am going to warn anyone i can. Primus is crappy.
Whatever you do please do not use Primus. I’ve been stuck with it for a few years and its horrible. The people are rude like who are we?! We are your true bosses considering that we pay for your service so you can get a job.

For the lazy ones (why not to get primus)
-It stops working a lot atleast once a day you will be randomly disconnected and it breaks down a lot for some odd reason

-Its VERY SLOW there is not difference between high speed and lite high speed internet except the cost

-It takes one week to change from lite to high speed internet?!! You already have the modem etc but why…?

-They need to cancel your lite high speed for a week or until you get a mail telling you to mail back your modem and then you still need to wait
There WAS NO MENTION of this when i called to change

-Suddenly there is an activation fee… 8D…
Right tell me why was there no mention of this on the phone. It was just like yup you pay blah blah amount as seen on the website. (I should have expected it but i didn’t think switching would need that…Maby I’m just baka)

-Are these people trained?!
It takes like three people to solve one issue on how to get my internet up and kicking. I keep getting sent back and forth. You’re suppose to be in tech oh you’re supposed to be in customer service. Why are you here you should be back in tech.
Me: -dead-

-I usually get fees randomly. Just don’t ask i don’t really remember but it was a long distant call or something? At 2am in the morning like come on I’m not even awake at that time more over i shouldn’t be able to make one unless i have that on my plan. So why am i being charged…?

In the End:

I AM FED UP D:<
I am going to warn anyone i can.

I bought a light fixture 2 years ago. The transformer burned out. I went to the store yesterday and was told that they do not sell transformers anymore. Had bed experience with some other stuff that they carry. Cheap "made in China" garbage that they sell at prices equal or higher if it was made in Canada. What a ripoff for consumer.

They are both down since last Friday morning. When we initially called, we were told that technician would come next day between 8am to 12noon. We waited, nobody showed up. Called Primus, the rep said she would follow up and call me back. There were no callback in 3 hours. I called them again, now they said technician would come before 4PM. Again, nobody came. Call again, the rep promised that the technician would come before the end of the day (9PM). No one showed up. After more than dozens calls and 4 days waiting, our phone line and internet service are still down. Primus Canada Sucks! F this company ! We have both phone and internet service with Primus Canada.
