    Complaint Type:
    Delivery Issues
    Status:
    Unanswered
    We first contacted Rec World in March of 2020 about some games for our youth room. The order was confirmed at the end of June and paid in full ($18, 585) on July 14, 2020. We finally received the partial order in March of 2021 and I have not been able to get a hold of anyone since to find out the status on the rest of the order. I have sent multiple emails and left messages at both their Calgary and Edmonton locations. No one has even responded to say that they are received the messages. Waiting 11 months for this order to be delivered is extremely unprofessional and the fact that no one is responding seems like they have something to hide.

    If there's a more disappointing, corrupt, anger inducing store out there, I'd be surprised.This dude *** was running a Ponzi scheme here, using billiards as a front. I'm sure of it. I marked this place as open, just so I could leave a review!! I have to get this out and off my chest. It'll be therapeutic they say.All the other negative reviews are true. Myself, I waited on a promise and got sucked in like many others. I did recieve a table, 9 months later. It was cobbled together from reject pieces and looks like garbage. *** kept promising to have it fixed. I ultimately went through the *** to solve the deficiencies. Still working through it.The owner ************************* is a criminal and should be recognized as such. Is there anyone going that route? Lying thief. Drugs? Gambling? Who knows. Most unprofessional, rude and belligerent in demeanor. My sincere hope is that he finds a way to make reparations to everyone he scammed.Good luck to anyone still trying to get satisfaction on this issue.
