Hi! I just wanted to thank you very much for the great service provided. You made our Christmas! I could not find a TomTom unit like this here in Ottawa ....they were sold out everywhere. The shipping affordable and you got it to me in no time at all. Made my husband a happy man on Christmas morning. Thanks so much! Happy New Year to You! - Judy December 19,

16, 2007 November 14, 2007 Sorry for my delay in replying. I did return the unit and exchanged it for a different brand, which by the way is just perfect (Garmin eTrex HC). This is the best GPS unit I have ever owned. I have to say the service I recieved from GPS Central was absolutely excellent! I didn't catch the sales person's name, but she had long dark hair. You could not have asked for a more pleasant, informed and helpful representative. Without a doubt, I will only purchase from GPS Central in the future. I have passed this recommendation on to my friends and company (BFI Canada). You folks should offer courses to other firms on how to achieve customer service excellence! Thanks again, Jim Moore District Manager BFI Canada Inc. November 2, 2007 George, I was in your store wednesday of this week and you exchanged a defective Garmin Map60Csx for me that I had not been able to test until the 30 day exchange period had lapsed. I was very disappointed when your support department told me I had to send it in for warranty. The fact that you were willing to recognize not all situations fit inside the "box" and exchange the unit restored my faith in your company. - Brian, Medicine Hat October 16, 2007 Hi George, Used the new Nuvi this last weekend in the States. Worked great. Thanks again for the excellent service. I'll continue to do sales work for you behind the scenes. The darn things are like crack, once you start using, you can't do without! - Gord, Vice President and General Manager October 12, 2007 I received my GPS this morning. I am very impressed with your response time (less than 24 hours from order to receipt) and also the ease of ordering through your website. Thank you for a truly pleasant purchasing experience! Regards, Wendy, Manager, Joint Interest Accounting October 10, 2007 I just wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with your company! We (stupidly) attempted to order a Garmin eTrex H from another online retailer. After phoning to check that they had it in stock and then ordering and paying immediately via paypal, we then waited three weeks and didn't hear anything from them. When we contacted them to ask what had happened we got different conflicting accounts and very little assistance. After much stress and repeated emails, they finally "rushed" us our order... it still took three days to get here and low and behold when we opened it... it was an old model eTrex - NOT and eTrex H as we had ordered. After more emailing and more unhelpful comments from the retailer, we finally just asked for a refund. That was yesterday. I mailed back the wrong gps and then went to gpscentral and ordered an eTrex H. This was yesterday, around 11am. I was relieved to receive a number of emails from you yesterday detailing the status of my order - it was reassuring. So after nearly a month of complete ineptness for the other company, imagine my delight when I opened the door this morning at 10am to find the mail-lady with our eTrex H from GPSCentral! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! You have no idea how refreshing it is to deal with a company who actually cares about what they are doing and who treats their customers well. Keep up the good work! - Joy, Kelowna, BC October 7, 2007
George, I have emailed you two emails containing 6 pictures in each from our event yesterday. I hope that they got through to you. I don't always trust emails with attachments. Thanks again for the prizes, they went over very well and were appreciated. Sincerely, David | Photos in the Gallery!>> September 26, 2007 George: Simply by taking the time to reply you have impressed me. Beats the heck out of the usual auto-response promising follow-up which never happens.I will bookmark you and keep you on my shopping list. - Chris [Re Some concerns about shipping costs] September 14, 2007 Thank-you for your very efficient and courteous service. I rec'd my GPS this morning! Unbelievable! I will certainly recommend your services to many many avid hunters out here in Southern Manitoba. thanks again....monica September 10, 2007 Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to congratulate you for the outstanding sales and service you provided me on my recent purchase of a (Tom Tom Go 720). I placed the order from Burnaby, BC on September 05, 2007 and I received the package at my Burnaby office in only 21 hours. I am very impressed and I will definitely tell my friends and business associates what a pleasant experience I had with your company. I am also very pleased with my Tom Tom, it works perfect and just as advertised.Ps/ Canada Post also came through with flying colors. Best regards, Bob Aug 17, 2007 Your web pages are impressive. Excellent, informative (lots of links) and easy to navigate web site which is usually the case for on-line American shopping sites but very unusual for Canadian sites. Henry (AB) Aug 17, 2007 I recently ordered a pc connector for my etrex from you. I elected to have it shipped by Greyhound thinking that would be the most cost effective. When it arrived at the local depot, I was charged $18 shipping. I want to say that this is an outrageous amount to pay for shipping that little package. It would have been cheaper to have it delivered to my door by UPS or Fedex. I am not happy with this service. Please let your customers know when ordering by internet how expensive this shipping option is. Michael (Surrey BC) Customers tell us that Greyhound provides quick and reliable service, particularly to rural areas. I added new information to the shipping and policy sections of the website. (Note: Metropolitan delivery charges may be more expensive than door-to-door deliveries by Canada Post or FedEx.) I admit flat shipping rates don't always work out well for customers who buy a small item. Expedited and FedEx are the least expensive options at $15. We do consider weighed shipping options on occasion but, at present, there is no definite plan to implement a new shipping system. Many customers do appreciate flat fee shipping, because they know charges in advance of ordering. To this end, thank you very much for your comments. Aug 16, 2007 I received the GSP yesterday around 10am EDT in good condition. I'll have a couple of days to test it here before the oversea trip. Thanks much to getting it shipped quickly. I appreciate it. Best Regards, Emile (PQ) Aug 14, 2007 Many thanks to Charlene for having very well answered all my questions today when I could finally order the GPS I had dreamed of for such a long time. I will now anxiously wait after delivery. S. Gagnon (PQ) Aug 13, 2007 Hi all, I ordered a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx handheld GPS last week. I received the product in a very timely manner and in perfect condition. Plenty of follow-up reports via e-mail were received throughout the wait from yourselves and Canada Post. I would order from you again without hesitation. Thank you. TZ. (Montreal) Aug 10, 2007 Thanks for all your help Charlene. You are a credit to your company, and I will recommend GPS Central to anybody I know, who is interested in buying a GPS of any kind. Aug 7, 2007 Nice clean EASY FAST site, no bullshit flash crap to load up. Very few sites like yours left, it has that mid 1990's feel to it. Love it. Daniel (MB) Thanks! It's crossed our minds to leave it just as it is, as a retro website. Even though we're re-designing a bit now, we're very fond of this HTML ship. I agree with you - one more ... loading... button and, cripes, a person can't even check out a Wendy's menu for staff lunches without updating a Flash plug-in... June 11, 2007 Gil..Picked up antenna at the Greyhound depot this a.m. like you said, "it would be here the next day". I raced down to pick it up and installed it in the parking lot. It worked perfect. Thank You. I will be upgrading to a Garmin in the future, from you of course. The Lowrance was from AirMiles program so it a good starter unit at little expense.I'm going to the GPSForums web site and post some favorable news about you and your company.Thanks againPaul May 30, 2007 Thanks, I actually got it this morning! Appreciate the great service. Jason (ON) June 1, 2007 Just to let you know that I just recieved my order today. Thank you, and was a pleasure doing business with you. Richard May 21, 2007 Hi, I would like to add to this order that we were referred to your site by http://www.geocaching.com/ admins and users. Thanks. Alexandre (PQ) May 16, 2007 Hello, Just want to let you know that the package came in just after your reply-email. I didn't expect it to arrive that soon. That's less then 3 days from ordering, to delivery in the Netherlands, really amazing! Exactly everything which was ordered, was in the package. Thanks for the quick delivery, and for the quick reply to my email. Kind Regards, Rudolf May 15, 2007 Hi - I just stopped by the store and picked up some Ram mounts for my 60CSx. I was telling a few people about the Calgary Area Trail Mapping Project, so I figured I'd give you the link. http://www.calgarycachers.net/trailmaps/maps.htm Check it out. - Steve H. May 8, 2007 Dear GPSCENTRAL; Thank you very much for the prompt response. Moe. May 2, 2007 To Whom It May Concern: Working for a company that is very much concerned about Customer Satisfaction/Loyalty and having Customer Service in the forefront of my daily actions, I feel compelled this morning to tell you how truly impressed I am with my recent online purchase from your company. I ordered the Garmin Edge 305 bundle online at 2pm yesterday and I am already in receipt of the unit 9am the day after and on the opposite coast. Because of my busy schedule I conduct most of my purchasing online and had good, acceptable and bad experiences but your company and Purolator have by far exceeded my expectations! Not only am I satisfied that I have paid a very competitive price for the unit but the entire transaction from the easy navigation of your website to the surprise this morning was the best online purchase experience I ever had! I will recommend your company to my colleagues and friends! Best regards, Christian Schlager Sales Operations Manager BMW Group Canada May 1, 2007 Hello folks: Everything from this order arrived as described. Thanks for your help and prompt service. with best wishes, Bruce April 30, 2007 April

Jesse:
I
guess I'll be a Garmin supporter forever! <smile>
Per your suggestion, I wrote to Garmin with the same note I sent
you, and their response is included below [StreetPilot 2720].
As I said to them, "Pretty impressive"... It is service like this
that will keep me as a dedicated Garmin customer forever! Well
done!! I have used Garmin since the early 1990's, and will
obviously continue to do so! Refreshing, you are! Cheers, Ted

To say the least I am very impressed with how prompt you shipped the product. Not to mention the price was fantastic!

Please convey my thanks to Gil Grandahl for answering my questions carefully and clearly ...!! February 5, 2007 Had to take a minute to tell you how impressive Roxy was on the phone. I am involved in a humanitarian project trying to recover a body of a young man that drowned on Lake Nippissing in Ontario.
