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! -

Just a word of praise to you folks at GPS Central. I ordered a Garmin
305 yesterday in hopes it might be here in time for Christmas. It
arrived moments ago, roughly 24 hours after I ordered. Excellent
price and blindingly quick deivery. Thank you!!! Ross, Dartmouth,

Hi Steve, I think I was in there on Friday before this email got sent out! Anyway,
that's not why I'm emailing, I just wanted to forward a note on to someone
there to mention that the lady I dealt with at the front was excellent. She
was very helpful and courteous and I appreciated the service very much. I
will be a customer again. Sincerely, -Arron

Why would you charge $15.00 to ship a piece of wire from Calgary to
Westbank B.C.? You have great prices, but your shipping sucks
big time!!! -Nick
Sorry there, Nick. We try to figure out better
ways to 'ship' for accessories like this. A one size fits all approach
doesn't work, e.g. for items under $50 or whatever, because some
items are large - and do cost $15 to ship. Until we get a weighted system,
which we may never do, it's the best we can offer. On the bright side,
it's delivered to your front door! With gas and time, it's gotta be
worth something...

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.

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

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

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! -

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

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)

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.

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)

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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

George, You guys rock ... your customer service is fantastic. The
Garmin GPS that it bought from you needed some repair and the repair
depot wants the original invoice. I called your Product Support desk
and the person who answered the call faxed me the invoice within a
few minutes. Any one can expect great service when they are about
to spend some money, but the true character of an organization is
shown when a small request like this is treated as well as a new purchase.
Please thank the help desk on my behalf. Mike
