      I purchased a new fridge and freezer from Canadian Appliance Source at the end of July 2021.
      Delivery date: August 4, 2021
      Total paid for both units: $6415.19
      Freezer was delivered with a dent in the side of the door and 2 large dents on the top section of the rear panel.
      Service Tech came and inspected the freezer.
      He agreed that the freezer may have internal damage and that it should be replaced.
      They then said they would replace the door and offered me $150 to compensate me for the damage on the back.
      I said no and that I wanted a full replacement because I was not confident that the freezer was not damaged internally.
      I was directed by the Service Tech to get the door replaced as it may never be offered again.
      I agreed to the door being replaced with the understanding that they would inspect the back for any internal damages.
      The Service Tech returned to install the door and found more damage that I had not noticed originally on the back near the bottom where all the condenser and compressor is located.
      The Service Tech said he would recommend a full replacement of the unit.It has been almost a year with no resolution.

      Good afternoon ***** **********

      We tried calling you but got your voicemail. We apologize for your experience up until now. We have reached out to the manufacturer for more information. We will follow up with you within the next 48 hours.

      thanks,
      CAS

      (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
      I have gotten the same response from CAS for the past year. This why I am finally escalating it to the BBB. I believe the damaged occurred during shipment or delivery. CAS should have inspected the units prior to delivery to confirm they were not passing damaged goods on to their customers. We bought some chairs from **** *** and took 4 months to arrive. They inspected the chairs once they arrived and found some white streaks in the leather. They called us to come look at them and said they would order some more if we didn't like them. That is good customer service. They did not want to have the customer to deal with battling with returns/exchanges after delivery.
      It has now been more than 48 hours and have not received a response. I am expecting one on Monday.


      Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/07/28) */
      Good afternoon ***** **********,

      Please be advised that we tried to reach you today. As an exception to your order we have gone a head and approved the return of your freezer. Please contact us so that we can make arrangements to pick up the old unit and deliver the new one.

      Best,
      CAS
