Most confortable bra ever. I finally found fit! It is a bit pricey (39 USD / 51 CAD) for such a simple bra, but it is worth it. You can wear the Nana bra with the straps crossed as well for more versatility. It dries very quickly too. Customer service is pristine. Since they ship from Montreal, I was offered to pick up my order directly on site to save on the 7.99 USD shipping fee.

Tip for consumers:
If you're from Canada, the default currency is USD, which may not be to your advantage. I recommend that you place your order over the phone with them in that case.

Quality products for a decent price, equal or lower to the competition. Great selection. Impeccable service and delivery (I placed my order on a Saturday, the 17, and received my purchase on Tuesday, the 20). The item even comes with a pre-printed, ready-to-use return label, should you need to return the item. Plus, they ship internationally.

Tip for consumers:
If you frequently buy sports or outdoors items, you might want consider their lifetime membership option for a one-time fee of $25 CAD.

Do you want to spoil yourself with your favourite designer fragrance without paying the high-cost retail price? This is the site for you. Retail beauticians and perfume advisors alike will blush at the sight of these prices. They offer up to 70% off on the retail price of select perfume bottles of 30ml, 50ml and 100ml. While they do not sell all brands and fragrances, their selection is quite extensive and it's definitely worth a look. Delivery is impeccable. I received my package two days after placing the order online. (They are based in Blainville, QC and I live in Montreal, QC.) Plus, they ship internationally.

I bought a 2-inch memory foam mattress topper from them, to place on my regular mattress, and I have been sleeping like a baby ever since. I received my purchase with FedEx, two days after placing the order online. Best Buy vouches for them and it is possible to buy some of their products through bestbuy.ca, but you save money if you buy directly from them. Plus, you can benefit from their 30-day money back guarantee if you buy directly from them. Insomniacs and troubled sleepers, wait no longer and give their topper a try. Insomnia will surely become a thing of the past.

Do not order anything online or otherwise from this company. This is a scam. Once they have your credit card information, they will charge you on a regular basis without your consent. It is impossible to know where they operate as they do not have any email or postal address listed on their website. There are a few customer numbers available (which is very odd), and though it is possible to get a hold of someone over the phone, it is a very tedious experience. The customer person I spoke with actually argued with me for over ten minutes before agreeing to cancel my account and all future orders after she realized I wouldn't budge. Save yourself the trouble and the negative energy: stay away!

Tip for consumers:
Do not, under any circumstances order anything from them. And absolutely do not give them your credit card info. This is a scam.

Attractively priced laptops: check. Convenient shipping: check. Friendly and mostly efficient customer service: check. Product quality: ok, I guess, if you're a light user. Over-users beware! This is most definitely not the best computer for you, in my humble experience -- after three major computer crashes on two different Dell laptops within four consecutive years.

Tip for consumers:
If you are an occasional computer user looking for a cheap laptop for emails and light browsing only. Products are anything but hard-wearing and usually last about 1-2 years, tops.

I just love their selection, be it sleepwear or swimwear. Unworn products are easy to return in store if you live nearby one of their retail locations. On the downside, though, online orders can only be refunded via a store gift card, so you won't actually get your money back. And they only have one shipping option, which isn't particularly fast. Customer service is great though! When I asked them about faster shipping options, since I was about to leave on holiday, they gladly offered me a faster delivery at no extra cost!

Tip for consumers:
Keep in mind that online purchases will only be refunded via store credit/gift card.

Looking to perk up your adult life? This site will help you out. Besides its discreet billing and shopping process, it offers a wide selection of toys, accessories, and board games that will satisfy all your cravings. Prices are super competitive compared to retail stores. As for shipping, it's extremely reliable and fast, no worries there! And they do offer seasonal discounts on a regular basis. To be kept in the loop, just subscribe to their newsletter!

Tip for consumers:
They offer 15% to 25% discounts regularly, so I highly encourage you to wait until it's discount week before placing your order.

If you're like me and find that your local piercing studio lacks choices when it comes to original body jewelry, you should definitely visit this site. They offer a great selection at affordable prices and offer free shipping (US and Canada) with every 20$-purchase. Shipping is on the house during special holidays such as Black Friday, which was convenient for a first-time customer like me. They ship from via regular mail, so it took a while to get from the the USA to Canada, but since it was free, I didn't mind. Although it can be hard to estimate actual jewel size, especially for septum jewelry, despite the given measurements, I do recommend this site for their great selection and prices.

Tip for consumers:
If you are planning on wearing your new body jewels for a special occasion, you should place your order at least two weeks before said event, especially if you live in Canada or abroad.

Not many people actually enjoy grey, rainy weather. But I'm telling you that you will, once you order a brand new umbrella from The Umbrella Shop. They are as beautiful and high quality as they are colourful. Delivery service is impeccable. It took 7 days to ship from Vancouver all the way to my home in Montreal.

If you are looking for an original colour (I came across their site looking for a white umbrella, which is surprisingly hard to find), or if you are tired of low quality products that will end up in the trash faster than you can spell u-m-b-r-e-l-l-a, I highly recommend it. And I'm not the only one. The web boasts with positive reviews from people who've ordered from The Umbrella Shop.

If you want an enjoyable, reliable and affordable online shopping experience, visit simons.ca! You won't be disappointed. It's super fast, convenient, reliable, and they'll give you your money back, no questions asked, if you are unhappy with your purchase (sizing, colour, whatever the reason...) I GIVE IT FIVE STARS!

  • Now That's Lingerie

9/8/15

I ordered a bra from this site on the 29. We are now the 8 and I haven't received it and I wasn't given a tracking number either. When I asked about the delay by email, they thanked me for my patience and apologized for the delay, claiming I would be given a tracking number from them in the afternoon. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SITE! They aren't reliable and, clearly, do not value customer service.
