After years of being a loyal customer, they refused to refund my money for two cans of dented apple pie filling unless I sent them back, even though I emailed a picture of the damaged cans. These weren't tiny dents, these were dents big enough for one of my fingers to fit in. Health Canada food safety states that if a finger fits in the dent, the product is not safe to consume, nor is it safe to consume if the dent is small but by the seam of the can.

Instead of apologizing and refunding my money, they wanted me, a disabled senior, to go stand in line at the post office, during a pandemic, to mail them back two cans that, if they practice proper food safety, they'd have to throw out when they received them... unless they plan to re-sell this possible food poison in a can to another customer?

They were adamant that they can't issue a refund, despite receiving a photo of the damaged products, unless I returned the item... even in a pandemic, even though I'm a disable senior at high risk.

Call me stubborn but I'm not going to risk my health over two cans of apples!

So, because they won't let you delete your own account on their website, I asked them to delete it for me because I will not longer be buying anything from them... which they did... and so over two damaged unsafe to eat cans of apples they lost a loyal customer of many years.

If I wanted to risk food poisoning by eating food from dented cans that Health Canada says is not safe to consume, I certainly wouldn't be paying the top dollar Well.ca charges, I'd go to the discount bin at a discount food store. But I wouldn't eat food from cans this dented even if they were given to me for free.
