Absolutely great customer service. Everyone is super helpful and very efficient. It's a bit overwhelming because it's a huge warehouse. But the staff will help and point you on the right direction. Will definitely be going back! They deal in yards and have any type of fabric related accessory you can think of.

Super helpful staff ! Thank You for being accommodating. Lots of Fabric to choose from with great pricing . The staff spent over two hours with me pulling out each fabric to find the certain pattern I was searching for .. after a total of over 350 yards mission was completed! Thank You again it was worth the drive into the city .

Horrendous! Has been over 180 days since I placed an order over $1000. They took my money but never shipped the product. Is this a criminal organization? Quite possible! Company steals your money.

Having acquired my DJI Goggles 2, I need assistance connecting them to my DJI mini 3 Pro I arrived as the store opened and I believe it was Bob that was there. At first he didn’t think it was possible to connect them up but I instead it could be done. Like the best customer service possible and with perseverance Bob made it happen much to my delight. Now this is customer service. It took him about one and a half hours. Fortunately there was never any other customers waiting until just before he was done.
Again Bob thank you very much. You and the other staff make the store the place to go.

Amazing price and high quality coral. The store is not as clean but the corals are great with good price. Bought 4 and definitely going to buy more.
Well, my experience was great, i just got some dry goods, but i will get back there for some corals, yes, they have some algae on some frags, but i will work myself arround and get the coral i want clean, i will make my way there soon again, owner and staff were great to me, awesome comunication.

I love this place, a whole bunch of down to earth people that tirelessly keep this warehouse organized. I wanted leather for my headboard. I was in and out in no time with the help of several of the staff and got exactly what I wanted.
They are awesome, five star all the way!
Close to gas station🍷

Its a pleasure to visit this business. Outstanding Customer service , warm welcomes and tons of patience to answer all my questions. Took my Mavic 3 Cine for product inspection. Kent spent his quality time with productive interactions and helped us with a smile. If you are a drone lover, definitely recommend to visit these guys. ask for Kent he is a pro.

Update: replying to owner: i dont know who you are talking about. I dont work for big Als, nor do i know who anthony is.... but thanks for assuming i am someone else... don't make assumptions of who your clients are.. one more reason never to shop at your store again..

Was sold a fish that I was told would be ok with the fish I had, slightly aggressive.. when I got to the car I looked it up and it was not compatible at all.
I went back in and they refused to refund my money . I never even left their parking lot. So I told them to keep the fish because nothing i can do with it..Do not go there as their "fish experts" will do anything to make a sale and leave you high and dry. Out 50 bucks now....
The manager is a joke. All their livestock will die. Nothing good in that store. Don't waste your time. Big Al's is around the corner

These are guys are great! Very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend if you're looking into getting into drone work of any kind, to talk to these guys about it. Plus they have a selection of other tools from DJI that they supply.
So much beautiful art from incredibly talented Indigenous artists !!

Great customer service and answer all my questions. Took my Mavic 3 Pro to see if it could be fixed. They did it on the spot! Would definitely recommend anything to Drone related to visit these guys.

Early Nov, 2023. Weekdays and weekends. Both the lady and old pa gave high prices for the plants compared to others in the nearby New Century Centre or Milliken Sq flower markets at the claiming of best quality and varieties. You have to judge the truth of it. 🙄🥴🙄🤔🤐😏😔😬😶‍🌫️🫢🧐🤯
Now it is the off season of growing. In spring the greenhouse at Stouffville Rd and McCowan, Stouffville Rd, Reesor Rd is worth visiting. The one in Watertown Concession 5E is good too.

They have many options in colors, type and prices. I like to go and walk around to see what can I get for my next projects. I made this dress with them fabrics.
I bought a drone with Skymount and I had a odd support! I had a short deadline for getting the drone before a work trip and they ensured that my drone would arrive on time from Calcary to Montreal. They sent it at the last minute.
Very grateful for the service.
Be Aware!!! Bad Thief’s! I’ve been coming here a few times. It was okay good prices on some fabrics. Usually friendly staff. This weeks experience was bad. I felt violated and was shocked in the cashiers behaviour. No one around did or said anything. From previous visits I don’t believe she’s the manager. I now what she looks like and that she’s a good person. However this cashier started to take a picture of me putting my pin into the pad. When I looked up and asked what she’s doing she said nothing, and then showed me her Lock Screen like I was dumb and couldn’t tell the difference between the Lock Screen photo and the camera app open. I said why would you take a picture above me at an angle looking straight at the pin pad. She didn’t respond and I said that makes me feel uncomfortable and that’s not a nice thing to do. I since have not used that credit card for fear that she did get enough of what she was after. I know people who have been robbed like that. JUST AWFUL. The fact that no other worker said anything just makes me think she’s used to it. I wonder how many she’s robbed. So putting my review for others to be aware. I will now starting cover the pin pad with my entire head of hair. You can’t fool me twice. 🤨😡🤯
I never fail to find a perfect gift at Petroff (as well as stuff I would want to own as well). The collection is curated beautifully with a variety of price points and very unusual Judaica as well. It's my go to when I need something special.

I visit Petroff Gallery every time I'm in Toronto and my home is filled with beautiful paintings, sculpture and glassware from them. I value their personal attention and knowledge and look forward to finding the next perfect piece.

Petroff is a beautiful gallery. We have been shopping here for years, and even had a registry here for our wedding. They have a huge selection and great range of prices. We often go there to buy small gifts, but also have a few more substantial pieces of art. Staff are helpful and friendly.

I have been shopping at Petroff Gallery for many years. The art they feature is beautifully curated and the customer service they provide is second to none. When I have to buy a gift for any occasion from a casual item to a wedding gift they are my go to. I have always found something unique and exciting and the recipients have always been delighted. There are few galleries in Toronto that provide such original and artistic finds. I highly recommend them.

I've been a client of Petroff Gallery for several years and each & every time my experience has been wonderful. I enjoy the different mediums of art they exhibit. I have had many of my own art framed at Petroff with great advice for each specific piece. It's a perfect place just to browse and always makes me feel good.

Good quality quilting fabrics and competitive prices. Staff are polite, friendly, very helpful despite the humungous aisles. The quilting fabric is in the front - well-organized.

Online (3 orders with store pickup): Excellent! I highly recommend this option if you know what you want or are short on time. Orders were ready within a few hours or by next day- emails sent when ready. No minimum for pickup, lots of free parking & free shipping over $100. For out-of-stock items, a choice to substitute or refund. All fabric was cut over generously and with great care especially for panels. Cons – fabric is sold by the yard & images aren’t the best with no scale shown. Most of what I ordered matched colours & prints shown. Tip: If you’re making a design wall, get their inexpensive 60” wide, white flannel… it works very well pinned or taped to drywall.

In-store (1 order): Overwhelming, poor lighting, and difficult to find correct prices. Good if you love to explore, don’t mind the dust and lack of organization or have time. Honestly, the ends of the aisles look like time portals…! :D

Took in my malfunctioning Phantom 4 Pro. Skymount guys checked it out, advised about options and provided assistance with repair process. Kent was super-helpful. Phantom is airborne again. Would definitely buy next drone from Skymount and rely on them for any service needs. Great guys.

This is one of those places you love and don't want to talk about because you don't want to make them so busy that they are then sold out of all your favourite things. Their chicken liver mouse is outta this world, no other compares.

The shop owner, who also owns the unit by the escalator selling plants and flowers, is super rude, uneducated and disrespectful. She would not answer your simple questions like how to raise the plants unless you actually purchase it from her. And when you change the mind and ask for return, she threw the wrapping paper right in your face and threaten you by calling 911. I would mark negative review if I could. Do not buy anything from this vendor to live a better life. It for sure will be bankrupt shortly given the lousy customer service and poor product quality.

千万别去这家买花,跟电梯旁边摆地摊卖花儿的是一家,植物里面全是虫子,拿回去飞满屋都是,养两天就死了。老太太特别势力,非常粗鲁没有教养,怎么还没倒闭啊。

The nicest plant 'vet'/Gardiner /plant lover.
He's also SO funny and caring. Thank u for the best recommendations :)
Excellent customer service, great prices and they go the extra mile
It wasn't open when I was there but the outside is beautiful.
Nice Marine ocean fish....lot of unique choices..price are fair...too bad they use blue lighting for the tank which seems not as clear n sharp to look at the fish compare with other places .but the fish they have are good fish..but a bit disappointed they don't carry anymore fresh water fish ..before they also have good quality fresh water fish as well. O...cone check o nice in a while they had wild ocean fish so nice.so healthy . So strong..I love the big Lion Fish they had, but so lucky one bought it already ...

Amazing selection of pork products, they have things that are impossible to find anywhere else,... reasonable prices and great service. Their bbq pork on saturdays is also FANTASTIC. Literally can't think of anything that would make this place better... maybe Cheese parings? Oh wait, that's literally right next door.
Beautiful place to visit if you love art.There are many helpful polite people working there.I also like the building and side walk besides it, so peaceful and lovely.

Petroff Gallery is an easy review. The real test of customer trust is return business. Without gushing effusively over my online buying experience I would like to say that I would have no problem giving them my return business. I have only the highest praise for every element of their professional dealing and would highly recommend Petroff Gallery to anyone looking for world class works of art and exemplary customer care. I would like to thank Ivan, specifically, for his exceptional concern in preparing the international shipment and expediting the order in a timely manner. Much respect to all at Petroff Gallery. Congratulations on providing an ideal buying experience.

Respectfully, Pep Noggle

INCREDIBLE curing, delicious flavours! Great customer service. First time buyer but will return often. The Regular pepperoni is good but the DRY PEPP gets 5 stars, perfectly dry & spicy. The Fennel salami Yes! and Red Wine Salami with Black Pepper even better. Just Go. You'll Love Everything. 😍 #cured #meats #deli

Buyer be ware: I purchased an orchid plant from this vendor at a high price, expecting it to be good quality. The shop owned recommended that I get this specific plant. The orchid came with a strong spider mite infestation, and the blooms wilted or fell off with out blooming. Spider mite infestation, resulted in damage to other plants and was a huge head ache to clear up on my plants.
Always have friendly and fast service
Great place to visit if you appreciate art. There are many exhibits, some temporary and some permanent. Easy to get to with transit and there's street parking. Check hours of operation before planning a visit. Must see place on the North shore.

An amazing place full of superior meats, much made locally but also premium product from around the world. The fuet is a hiking essential! Also, there are mainstay meats that are always there but also a varied selection that is seasonal or one offs. I am always surprised and delighted by the new flavors to try.

Was there briefly last week and they were still setting up. Can wait to visit again once they're finished
Beautiful art gallery with nice selection of local First Nations. Offer kids painting programs
A gem of a space. Surprisingly it was deserted on a wet Saturday. The attendant was very knowledgeable and friendly. When I visited there was a fantastic First Nations art exhibit.
This gallery offers the community an opportunity to view works by many of Canada's most highly respected artists. Dedicated to enriching young people, the space is a teaching gallery from October to June. Public hours posted on the website.
Friendly and helpful!

My family and I set up our first aquarium, a 46 gal cichlid tank, before settling on this store we pretty much went in to and spoke with many other shops, what brought me back to this place was Jim's obvious enthusiasm for fish and his unbelievable amount of knowledge, not to mention his absolute willingness to share it all.
He pretty much guided me through every stage of setup and helped us pick compatible fish, with full explanations of what and why.
They never over tried to sell us anything, and their prices were fare and reasonable.
Great store, great selection, and most of all great people.
It's hard to find costumer service like this anymore.
Thank you!!!
