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 bought Delogni machine. After 2 week they wrote the item not in store and I have to wait. No time vise...
Will make claim to PayPal for full refund, Do not waste time and money.

I ordered the merchandise form cookstore.ca by phone on Sep 3,2021, Friday. There is no statements on the invoice shows that I acknowledge their terms and conditions or return policy. I emailed cookstore to request for a cancellation to my order on Sep 7, because the potential safety issue to the product. Sep 4, 5, 6 were holidays.
I got 3 emails back from Ana, "product specialist" of Cookstore on the same day. I was told that she could help me with the cancellation. She claimed the merchandise would be sent directly from the manufacturer. She would need their shipping expert to contact with me.
I then sent her one email each day on Sep 7,8, and 9 to follow up with the issue. No response. Until Sep 13, I final got reply from Ana. She claimed that she couldn't cancel the order due to the order was shipped. I requested for a proof of delivery on the same day.
On Sep 14, I got the tracking information form Ana. The tracking information shows the merchandise was picked up and shipped on Sep 9,2 days after my cancellation request, directly from the manufacturer in Montreal. Cookstore did not ship anything from their warehouse.
Ana sent me an email the same day, claimed that the merchandise was in shipping when I requested the cancellation. She couldn't cancel the order. The tracking information proved that was not true. The merchandise was sitting in the manufacturer's warehouse, when I require cancellation. A staff from the manufacturer can also prove that the merchandise was shipped directly from the manufacturer on Sep 9, with no shipping cost to the customer.
On the same email, Ana claimed that they could only do return with deductions of delivery cost and 35% of payment for restocking fees. That's the purpose they tried to do the whole time. In my reply, I did not accept that.
I sent them 3 emails on Sep 14,15 and 17, to follow up with the issue. I requested the proof of delivery as they claimed they shipped the merchandise when I required cancellation on Sep 7, and the contact of the management. I got no response at all until now, Sep 22,2021.
They had enough time to cancel my order, but chose not to do so. They lied about the time of the shipping in order to put me into the trap of their "terms and conditions ", for the "fees"they tried to scam.
I have all invoices, tracking information and email history to support my statements in this dispute.
Cookstore are the worst to deal with, if you choose to buy from them. They are dishonest people try to scam you from the beginning. Don't be fooled by their fake promises. Trust me, You will see these BS all over their messages and emails.
Please stay away from Cookstore. They are not worthy of your time.
Arrived early and would buy from them again. Well packaged and very happy. Always check there flyer
The product was as described and despite COVID was shipped quickly I have no problem in recommending or buying from them
Amazing! Excellent service even during a pandemic. I will definitely be ordering from you again!
They advertise "Free Shipping Across Canada". Fine print……except Across Canada according to Cookstore is BC to Nova Scotia.
Tip for consumers:
Don’t advertise Free Shipping Across Canada

Very happy with Cook Store. Very good communication and we are happy with the products we ordered!
Excellent product and super fast shipping. Just in time to make someone very happy for Christmas!'
CookStore encaisse l'argent mais ne livre pas la marchandise. Tout simplement parce qu'il annonce à bon prix des produits qu'il n'a pas en stock. J'attends toujours le produit commandé. Impossible d'avoir des précisions lorsqu'on communique avec le service des ventes. À fuir comme la peste!
