I've shopped at Cookstore.ca many times over the past 5 years. Their selection of high quality cookware is among the best I've seen in Canada. While delivery sometimes takes a little while, they keep me posted and always come through -- and I've found it's worth the wait for excellent products, some which can't be found anywhere else. Recently, they went above and beyond: I had ordered a high-end item that unfortunately had a defect that was revealed on use; when I went to the manufacturer, their customer service was surprisingly and disappointingly inadequate. I contacted Cookstore.ca and explained the situation, and without any further questions they made it right. Kudos to Cookstore.ca for being a responsive -- and responsible -- retailer!
This deserves 0 stars, but I'm forced to give it a star. I ordered my espresso machine in Oct 2022. It still has not arrived! Rip off! Do not buy anything from this store. No response from so called customer service after repeated emails to them. Initially they did and then disappeared with my money.
I LOVE my new Nespresso... and the customer service made the experience that much better! I will order from Cookstore.ca again!
Products were delivered intact and in a timely manner. They were well packaged and were exactly what I had ordered. (swiss army knives for gifts).
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. NEVER RECIVED MY ORDER PLACED IN NOVEMBER. CANT LEAVE MESSAGES BECAUSE THE MAILBOX IS FULL. EMAILS ARE NOT BEING ANSWERD.
After 1 month my order hasn't shipping, they keep coming up with more and more excuses abut shipping. They won`refund my money or cancel the order. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.
Paid for fridge, horrible service as 3 months later, still waiting for it. There should be no excuse for that.
Package was delayed but to be expected due to the virus everywhere. The products I did receive are top quality.
Great honest online Store. Fast Shipper. Price Was right and purchase was Easy. Will Buy from again and Highly Recommend!
They don't respond to phone call, when you want to cancel they say your item is shipping now... Not recommanded
Love the new cookware quality at a great price. The Swiss Diamond pan recommendation as a replacement was awesome.
My shopping experience is great with cookstore, with better price for high quality goods, I will continue shopping here.
This is our third purchase from the Cook Store and are very pleased with the breadth and quality of the merchandise it sells.
Absolutely the worst. Most these reviews are about shipping or product quality. I am sure the shipping is sent in a timely manner and I am sure that the products are what you expect. What you don't expect in 2021 is to have your purchase vetted to the point that the order gets cancelled. I placed an order - ship to address is different than billing address. Because of this they needed to talk to me to "confirm the order". Ten emails went back and forth from the same email address I used on the purchase order! But that wasn't good enough, they needed to "speak to me" so I gave them my cell but to limit spam calls my cell sends 800 numbers directly to VM so I offered they should call me form the office number which has a provincial prefix OR I offered to call them - NO that won't work for them (and by the way they never even called me because I had no VM from them. Imagine, I am just trying to buy some $#*!ty pots and pans at $400 - if it were a $3000 copper set then this debacle would make a little more sense. If the card was stolen as seems to be their concern I am not sure a thief would use a stolen card to but pots and pans, further if card was stolen it has nothing to do with them or the purchase, its a card holder / CC company matter. So after offering to call them, after asking they call from a non 800 number, after seeing the order email and the ensuing argument emails back and forth are the same - after all that they cancel the order. Nice one. Good way to treat a customer. Never in my online experience has this happened or that I had to be vetted for my purchase but I guess there's a first for everything. I am sure someone else will appreciate my lousy $400 purchase. I will not be back and will share my experience
Tip for consumers:
Just use someone else

I paid for my order and its been over 1.5 months. My order never arrived and they have not refunded me. Terrible.
Cook Store did return my money from an Order they could not fill. It took awhile but Cook Store did follow through
They should remove Expert Help from there home page. Three days to return email response. They should also remove the 1-800 number.
Great quality products. Good prices and quick free delivery.
Very happy and satisfied with my purchase and experience with the Cook Store!
My package arrived pretty quickly and we are happy with the product. We were very happy to be able to buy new trays for our favourite raclette.
I ordered a coffee machine. The website said it was in stock and ready to be shipped. First problems: the website has a phone number but they automated message says they are not taking phone calls during the covid19 pandemic, so you have to put in a request to speak to someone through email. 24 hours after making my order ( they processed my credit card payment instantly) I emailed asking how long the estimated shipping would be. I got an email back saying they did not have the machine in stock. Even through it said online that they had it. I was then told that the coffee machine company is experiencing shipping delays so it may take awhile. Because I didn't want to wait that long and I found the machine at a local store. I asked if they could cancel my order and refund me. I got a reply saying they were sorry about the delays and if I wanted to pick a different machine I could do that, but that if there was nothing I wanted they would be "happy to refund" me. I immediately wrote back "
Please cancel my order and refund me". No reply until the next day. I got an email saying it was not possible to cancel the order or refund me. The machine was already being shipped! After telling me they didn't have it in stock and there would be delays, suddenly 12hours later it's being shipped! What a lie. I told them I don't want it shipped. They said I can refuse the package or ship it back to them but they refuse to pay for the shipping.
Literally the worst customer service: bunch of liars. They have zero desire to make their customers happy. I also asked for someone to call me so I didn't have to keep waiting 4-10 hours for replies. No one has called. Shop anywhere... but at cookstore
Christmas wedding thing that they really wont so it at to be perfect and they could'nt beleive it went they saw
Outstanding! Great shipping time and the pots are great. We will definitely order again, and recommend them!
Great communication, great pricing, and the pan we got is great! I'd definitely buy from Cookstore.ca again.
: A good place to buy and with a better price. I liked the communication in line. It's a very good organization. I'm very satisfied! I will buy yet!
Excellent service. Competitive prices. CookStore kept me informed of the status of my order throughout. Delivery of my order arrived 2 days early.
12 weeks and counting - order not delivered, no explanation, no call, no options offered. Horrible Service
Products good and as described. Delivered within a week and as promised. Not the first time I've ordered from here and the same each time.
100% Canadian. Free Shipping over $99. Top brands like KitchenAid, All-Clad, Lodge, Cuisinart, Riedel, Technivorm and More.
