With 4 KMS stores locally, the Abbotsford branch is always the go-to. In particular, Nikki has consistently solved every challenge we've brought to her, & made it look easy!

Horrible Manager

Horrible Manager
Terrible pay
Mediocre tool knowledge
Staff is fantastic, but under appreciated and under paid
The over all environment is held together by the Assistant Manager and he's what makes it worth attempting to enter the store.
over all I'd give it a 5/10 for a score.

Poor customer service

Few knowledgeable staff

Backorders are constantly messed up; staff call and say 'your order is ready for pickup' but then you go there and pieces of it have still not arrived or they simply can't find them.

Online sales support is a joke; all they give are 'quick' answers, regardless if they are accurate or useful. Had an open support ticket and found out that they DIDNT PUT ANY DETAILS in it from what had been discussed....called back to follow up and they claimed that they were 'waiting for information from ME..' and that was their excuse for doing nothing...

To compound the issue, went in to the store to try to resolve a tool/fitting issue and was given excuse after excuse....the only 'solution' provided was 'just return it'. Telling your customers to effectively 'GO AWAY' is a poor business model...

Product, yes. Service, No.
