Messed up installation

I took my vehicle in to get a starter and dash cam installed. I live 2 hours out of the city.
First red flag was they forgot I was coming to drop my vehicle off that day and were scrambling to find someone to do the install.
I left my vehicle there for the week for them to work on at their convenience.
Came back a week later to pick up my vehicle and the dash cam doesn't work.
In the week they had it no one thought to properly test the installation.
I'm now stuck having to pay more gas money for another trip back into the city and all they can offer for retribution is half the installation price back.
Messed up the install, make me drive 8 hours for your services, then when I ask they refund the installation fee for the dash cam install, they say best we can do is half.
I will be telling everyone I know and anyone who will listen about my experience at Visions.

They are fraudsters

They are fraudsters. Under the pretense of getting me a TV before certain date and then after I purchased it they tell me they can't do anything about it.

But what do you expect for 100% commission . You're nothing but a dollar sign to them.

Customer service is terrible.

Do not buy from this company.

Charged then cancelled after a month.

Just had an order cancelled after being charged a month ago. Could have bought the product elsewhere but assumed an order accepted was tied to some known inventory and not just speculation. Apparently they will take orders on things they cannot get, charge your card, hold onto your money, prevent you from buying it from a store that honestly displays its stock, and then refund you after you have given them a free loan for a month.

TP-link plug 4 month wait

I bought a TP-link plug. It was not in stock and was told it should take a week to arrive. I called several times and actually visited the store once in the subsequent 4 months. Each time I was told someone would be in touch to provide an update, and this never happened. Finally called and was told the item was in stock. They had not let me know when it arrived. Very poor service.

Absolute bottom of the barrel customer service

Absolute bottom of the barrel customer service. I will not ever do business with these people again. Spending more than $2000 on a TV and trying to get in touch with them, and it's radio silence even the day AFTER it was SUPPOSED to have been delivered. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I ordered a supposedly 'unboxed' laptop…

I ordered a supposedly 'Open boxed' laptop from Vision Electronics, but when it arrived, it was clearly used and showed signs of multiple repairs. Despite contacting them right away, they argued it was refurbished, even though they never disclosed that. After a long back-and-forth, I did get a refund, but I wouldn't trust them again. They weren't honest in their listing.

Three Defective Units from the Same Model – Quality Concern

I recently had a difficult experience with a TV purchase from Visions Electronics. I bought an LG QNED92, but unfortunately I received three defective TVs in a row, all with the same issue (dust or marks inside the screen).

To be fair, the store manager Chad was helpful and professional, and he tried to assist throughout the process. I have no complaints about the staff at the Hamilton store.

However, the overall experience was very inconvenient. I had to make four trips from Niagara to Hamilton, carrying and exchanging large TVs each time. This took a lot of time and effort, especially during the winter.

Eventually Visions confirmed with the manufacturer that the TVs had a manufacturing defect, and they processed a full refund.

What disappointed me was that after this long process and multiple defective units, Visions only offered a very small discount (about $70) if I wanted to buy another TV. Considering the inconvenience and the confirmed defect, I hoped the company would try to make the situation right in a better way.

Because of this experience, I decided not to purchase another TV from Visions.

Again, I appreciate the effort from the store staff, but I believe the company should do more for customers when multiple defective products from the same batch are sold.

No return accepted.

They sold a security key that is not working. They claim the package has been opened. Of course, otherwise I wouldn't know... So they don't accept the return.
Don't waste you time, order in Amazon. It's coming home and you can return!

Poor Customer Relations

Was told they price match on in stock major chain stores(Brat Buy sold by Best Buy) and will beat by 15%, wouldn’t do it, multi day shopping experience led me on to believe they were honest and trustworthy sale staff to the day of Super Bowl. Do not recommend this Visions location in Burlington and will be sharing this across my office and local businesses.

Online store was a nightmare

Online store was a nightmare. Delivery was s hassle. Missing items & waited 3 hours on hold to report missing items. Only to get a vm message to email them for a ticket for service and hung up. Emailed and they did not even read the email I sent. Still waiting for resolution. Useless online store.

Buy in-person, do not order online

Ordered an "OPENBOX" stereo for my car from the website, with no information on the website as to what open box even meant. I was shipped a used stereo that had a dent in the corner, submitted a support ticket immediately to try and process a return, got a couple follow-ups to send photos of the damage before complete radio silence. Haven't gotten any emails in 2 weeks, I've tried to call a couple times and the wait times are egregious. Not possible to return to a store location in person either. Very frustrating experience, if you are reading this you should only buy from a physical visions electronics location because processing an online order return is a nightmare with the current support ticket system

Absolutely horrid company with possibly…

Absolutely horrid company with possibly the worst customer service I've ever seen. Ordered an open box 100 inch TV for Black Friday and although other items from my order were delivered, this has gone missing and we're about a month and a half out from placing the order. They don't answer their phone line, literally have taken up to two weeks to reply to my online ticket, I actually can't believe a nationwide Canadian company can have this level of customer service. Thank heavens for credit card disputes, although now for me to try to buy the TV again it'll cost me $1k more than the sale price I bought it for, so that's fun. NEVER SHOP HERE.

Used garbage jl audio sent to me instead of new product

Ok so I ordered two “open box”set of jl audio component speaker set.first one arrived no issues looked like new unused,so no issues.second set took over a month to arrive.what I received was someone’s used and abused junk.the set arrived with out inner packaging;no hardware,no literature and the brackets for mids are broken and the tweeters have purple paint on them.i got a bunch of what im guessing are broken plastic pieces from what ever car or boat these were used in.scratches all over everything in others words just complete garbage.so I sent pictures waited a week for a reply sent multiple emails finally phoned today waited 20 minutes to speak to a lady who ultimately said that I have to deal with the stupid Gia lady who sent me emails asking for more detailed pictures.so now they want me to wait once again before making a decision.and instead of taking my suggestion of sending back to a close store 600kms vs 4900 kms they have refused.i did order another two sets of speakers from them but it will be my last time dealing with them period.

I would give a zero star rating if it was possible... This company has been horrible to deal with.

Visions Electronics received my order December 1 online and after 15 days had not shipped it. After contacting them several times I finally got one e-mail saying they had shipped the item December 17 ..or at least created a shipping label.. upon checking with Purolator, the courier that was to be used, the package has never been handed over. Visions has had my over $900 since December 1 and I can't get a hold of anybody. Do not buy anything from this company as they are terrible to deal with.
