I am writing to complain about the issue happened on Apr 28 when we purchased grocery with some hot food. On checkout I placed the noodle on the scanner as instructed and I thought it had to choose hot food. Therefore at the end the price was above 1 kg at the price of 2.22 per 100 gram instead of the noodle price of around 10 dollars. And then because I have the hot food purchased at the same time, the staff wanted me to pay for the noodle again as the noodle was paid for using hot food item. However the hot food was not refunded and reweighed. My hot food was definitely not over 1kg. But after complain, they watched the video. On the phone they asked me to visit the store again and bring the receipt, I wanted to bring the food for reweigh, they said no. I will ask them. Why do I need to go in person when I have already told them the receipt number and the check out counter. They said they want to reconfirm the physical receipt before refunding. On the receipt, they confirm that the process was wrong, but they told me, by looking at the food I have they believe its over 1 kg. They refused the refund. And refused the reweigh because its not the same day and the food might be eaten and less weight. We compared the weight with a 500 gram meat and its of about the same heavy. On top of that, the noodle was way too salty and they refused to replace as well. We were literally being ripped off. Not only we paid more than 2 times of money, we also wasted 2.5 hours for a trip which can be completely be done on the phone plus over $10 gas. Such way of resolving the weight issue is a humiliation. We hope for a full refund.Business Response

On August *******, I purchased 6 Live Blue Crabs from T&T at their ****************, *********, ON L4J 4P8 location for $19.55 before tax calculations. I went their because I have the contacts of T&T Promenade stores customers service on my Wechat and I am also in two T&T Promenade stores group chat that the customers service have set up on Wechat. At 11:22PM of August 23, 2024, the customers service account posted a promotional post as well as an advertisement post on another social media app names Litte Red Book, also known as RED, that included pictures of open raw Live Blue Crabs were it clearly showcased the richness of the crab roes. After I got back home, steamed and opened the Live Blue Crabs, all six of the Live Blue Crabs that Ive purchased had no crab *** in them. When I started eating them, they were several crabs with sluggish and bad smelling meat. I contacted the T&T stores Promenade customers service on Wechat through their group chat with photos as proof of their false advertisement. I soon got a message from them to chat privately on Wechat. I stated my situation and they explained by saying that it was the normal result of the Live Blue Crab after cooking the crab, which was scientifically not plausible and factually incorrect as I have had Live Blue Crabs full of crab *** cooked and raw and there were no significant differences in volume. The customers service refused to apologize and to refund. After a few minutes, without notice, I was removed by the customers service from both of their T&T store group chats. I am now experiencing diarrhea suspected from the consumption of T&Ts Live Blue Crabs. I have been a loyal customer of T&T for years now and I am utterly disappointed from this unreasonable experience of their false advertisement, not only to me, but various customers of my neighborhood and it has also raised severe health and food safety issues.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
T&T rejected to refund unless I go into the store again and rejected to pay for the associated cost for me to go into the store. At this point I would also be concerned for me to physically go to the store due to the conversation the store manager **** has communicated with me. **** called my daughter on August 24th said he apologize for the experience with the store but he believes his staff had done nothing wrong. My daughter explained how the ad was misleading and how the customer representative removed me from the chat where the ad was posted, he said he believes they have done everything correctly and he will talk to the headquarter and give us a callback on either August 26th or 27th.However, not only we have not received any callback until August 31st,T&T has also ignored all of our communication afterwards including emails and instant messaging.
Therefore, I reject this respond from T&T, and I request T&T to refund my order and all costs associated to receive the refund, and a formal apologize through the original form of communication (through the ************ chat where I was removed).
Sincerely,

I placed an online order of grocery items on 2024-02-06, which totaled $78.63. My order ID is NO.*********. As part of the service, T&T promised to send a driver to deliver the items between 12 PM and 2 PM on Feb. 7, 2024. However, I never received any calls from the company or the designated driver during the delivery window. Before I knew it, the items were sent back to the store and the store informed that I would be charged 20% of the total order value as penalty. I confronted the store whose staff insisted that the driver had called me around 12:30 PM. Yet, I did not receive any calls nor texts from anyone associated with the store, which I can provide a record for if need be. I would like the store to acknowledge my situation, not to charge me the penalty, and to improve their delivery service as well as customer service quality in the future.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:I already contacted their customer service before reaching out to BBB. Their customer service was not helpful and did not acknowledge my explanation that I did not receive any calls from their driver. Neither did they provide a satisfactory solution other than repeating their empty responses such as "complaints are noted and we will improve future deliveries." I need a better solution for my current order, which is to acknowledge the miscommunication for my order and to promise that they won't charge the 20% order total as listed on the store's policy.

I ordered groceries from T&T online on Oct. 22nd, and the delivery slot is Oct. 24th, 11:00-14:00. The order number is *********. The delivery service was terrible. The man kept complaining and showed extremely unprofessional. He said I was wasting his time. They are required to charge 20% of all orders with "unsuccessful delivery" without clear instructions. Their website instructions said the orders to condos would be left on the counter and customers probably have to go downstairs. I did not receive any phone before 11:34, when I answered the phone at 11:48, the man was angry at me because my phone did not have a signal in the subway. Then I agreed that he could leave the staff at the front desk of the condo. However because of their unproper package, which contained a larger paper box and a smaller box with a plastic bag, the condo refused to accept it, but the staff could be left in front of my unit's door. However, the delivery man spent more than 10 minutes saying he could not do this, and I should ask their service assistant to require him to do so. But the phone service assistant said the only choice is to return all the staff. He did not tell me anything about the charge of the "operation fee". If they can charge 20% so easily, do they try to fail the delivery on purpose? When I tried to communicate with their online chat assistant, the experience was also awful. The lady was just saying it was my fault to leave home during the planned slot. And she said the cover of the groceries are the same. When I asked when I could get my refund, she did not provide any information and said ** * **** *** ** ******** *** **** ***** But how about the complaint online that they're late without any apology? How about the attitude of their delivery man? How about they return the things to the warehouse so easily with an unreasonable fee? How could they return the things without noticing the high fees? How can their staff be so rude to customers?Business Response

NO.*********, missing one item, T&T Bakery *************************** Tea Cake Roll 400g. ***************************************************************** Contacted customer service multiple times on Jan 07, 08 and 09 without further resolution. The customer service is totally useless and only replies to you by their template without further analysis or blaming IT. I was promised to be followed up but they never did. I also contacted the delivery person. The delivery person said I should contact customer service. The cake costs $7.83 plus tax if applicable. Please refund $7.83 plus tax if applicable. Personally, I would fire the person who handled the inquiry if I were the employer. In addition, I would investigate further if the delivery person misplaced the item or **** ** ** *******. The first time the driver who deliver NO.********* came without taking photos, while the driver who was responsible for order NO.********* purposely took photos, which seems **********. In addition, usually, the plastic bag was bundled with red taps/blue taps. However, I found one of the taps is loose for NO.*********. I do not want to assume the worse of the driver, but I do not understand the inconsistency of when the first driver delivering NO.********* did not take photos while the driver for order NO.********* took the photos. It should be mentioned that order NO.********* was refunded automatically while the taps are tight while the ********* refunded for the weight difference but left out the missing cake.There are always missing items when I order from T&T supermarket online. Both NO.********* and ********* are missing items. Last time four items and this time one item while they still charge both additional fees of $3.99+$5.99. Both times come to be =$5.99*2+$3.99*2 = $19.96. I do not think it is fair to charge these fees when T&T supermarket online always missing items. Furthermore, I do not feel appreciated as a customer for having to chase them for a refund for No *********Initial Complaint

I placed an online order on Jun 25th on T&T website. The order No.********** It was delivered on Jun 26th. When the driver arrived he made a phone call. I immediately opened the door, found the grocery placed at my door. But one thermos bottle is missing. I contacted their company and filed for a refund on Jun 26th for $55.99. They denied the refund on Jun 29th, said the item is delivered. They gave me no explanation. And it’s really hard to get in touch with them, constant waiting online. When you do get in touch, they never gave you any specific answer, just keeps saying wait 7-14 days. It’s impossible for me to claim for a refund for the item I never received. Hope you cound kindly help me look into this matter. Thank you so much!Customer Answer
