Kanata consistently delivers on dependable shipping and careful packaging, with fast delivery that arrives on time and products arriving well protected. Customers highlight a wide range of authentic Canadian items—from maple syrup and cranberries to Canadian beers and ice cider—being easy to purchase and reliably available, with many notes of good taste and appealing packaging. The customer service stands out for responsiveness and helpfulness, including smooth ordering processes, quick issue resolution, and friendly, efficient support. Overall, the store is praised for authentic products, reliable delivery, and attentive service that enhances the shopping experience.
Absolutely appalling, I paid for delivery, GLS has failed several times to deliver, we are now on day 6, I contacted the company on day 2, after 5 days of this they respond and accept responsibility, now they have recalled the delivery and refuse to refund me until the package is returned to them. I can see it has been returned to them, there is no reason for me to wait for my refund. They chose to use GLS and will probably continue to use them after this disaster, AVOID. It's a shame.

Prices not great and extremely disappointing delivery. Order placed at the end of December, the site promises delivery to a relay "within 1-3 days". Even considering the holidays, it's January 10th, so 6 days after January 4th (first business day). Very frustrated by this experience.

Response from Kanata
Hello, Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Indeed, you placed an order on 12/30. It was shipped on 01/05, as carriers unfortunately did not operate before this date due to the end-of-year holidays. Your package was then delivered on January 10th, an extended delay exceptionally due to a snowstorm that severely disrupted deliveries during this period. Normally, our deliveries are very fast. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Have a nice day, Emilie from Kanata

Very disappointed with the handling of my order. No delivery after 8 days even though the payment had been processed (€400). I contacted customer service who informed me that my order was suspected of fraud. It would have been appropriate to inform me. Order for the holidays did not arrive on time and no commercial gesture offered (nor granted when requested). Very disappointed

The delivery was not made at the selected pickup point, but kilometers away, in a big city. I use Kanata to send a gift to my mother who is over 80 years old and hardly drives anymore. If Kanata does not deliver to the place it committed to deliver, I will no longer do business with them.
Moreover... the products are expensive. I was accommodating until now but if it is not delivered to the right place....

Response from Kanata
Hello, We are sorry that the delivery did not meet your expectations. The chosen pickup point was an Auchan locker, but when the lockers are full, the carrier is forced to redirect the package to another nearby available pickup point. This situation is unfortunately beyond our control. Regarding prices, we do our best to offer fair rates despite the costs associated with importing products from Canada. We remain at your disposal to discuss this. Have a nice day, and happy end-of-year holidays! The Kanata team

Hello, unfortunately I am very disappointed with the delivery time. It was supposed to be within 3 days maximum and it took 6 days, we are asked to be careful when ordering cheese, I ordered on a Tuesday thinking I would receive it on Friday but no, received the following Tuesday, so the cheese is less than usual and their responses are that it’s the holidays, it’s longer... Yes but there are more staff to manage the Christmas rush, so delivery 0 and cheese not as good as usual because it’s not the first time I’ve ordered it but maybe the last.

Very disappointed with the reception of my two Maple Canes totally dented. The packaging was perfect but the canes must have already been like that before shipping.

Response from Kanata
Hello, we are sincerely sorry to learn that your maple canes arrived damaged. They left our warehouses intact. After checking, our supplier had recently modified the container, which turned out to be more fragile. As soon as we noticed this, we switched back to sturdier canes to prevent this from happening again. In order for our after-sales service to process your request, we invite you to send us photos by email at [email protected] Thank you for your understanding. The Kanata team.

I wanted to try Kanata for a gift, as there were some beers I didn't know.
Chronopost delivery made 15 km from the final recipient, without explanation from the delivery person. I asked Kanata to get in touch with Chronopost because the buyer has no recourse against Chronopost (Kanata is the client).
Moreover: one of the beers was damaged (leaking can emptying in the package). I reported it to Kanata: no response!
This will be my last order with them.

If Kanata remains a decent company, the deliveries really leave something to be desired. Chronopost is never on time. Already, they receive the package, and almost within the hour, they send a message about a 'problem that will delay the delivery', if that's not messing with people. And for my part, they managed to send my package to Bastia, while I am indeed in the south, but in Montpellier. The package stayed all weekend, delaying another already delayed package by 3 days. I was planning a Poutine with my friends for New Year's: ordered on the 25th (so from the 26th to the 31st), and seeing the package stuck in Corsica, I urgently reordered on the 28th for the 31st, at a high price (as much for the order as for the shipping costs). Nothing arrived in the '24/48 hours announced'. I had to rush on the 31st to buy some Tome for my New Year's Eve. Everything arrived on Thursday the 3rd. Now at Kanata, you have to hit on their delivery company, I am personally unhappy with it and not particularly with Kanata.

I ordered cheese curds which was shipped frozen but arrived 5 days after. What good is it to ship frozen cheese for it to defrost while in transit and be left in a mail box where the cheese sits warm for a long time. I pretty much threw my money in the garbage.

Hello, We have received your message. We just wanted to warn you that all information about the product and its shipment is detailed on our website. (here is the link of the product page https://www.kanata.fr/fromage-a-poutine-shouik-shouik-500g-1761-.html) It is clearly stated that the cheese becomes unfrozen at the start of the transit and needs to be eaten 3-4 days after shipping (and notified on the packaging of the cheese).

Nothing to say about the ordered products: I know the quality of this brand. However, I am particularly unhappy with the condition of the cardboard box of one of the two bottles of Ice Cider Neige. Indeed, the bottom of one of the boxes is completely damaged or even properly crushed. Even if the bottle is intact, this item was packaged in this lamentable state by the shipping service of Kanata because the package was in impeccable condition!
This is a gift I was supposed to give for Christmas but given the dilapidated state of the packaging, I find it hard to give this bottle to someone.
In any case, this is the first and last purchase made from this store.

Response from Kanata
Hello Nicolas. I personally renew my apologies to you. I was the one who prepared your order... It seems that your package decided to rebel at the moment I was sealing it. While closing the ears of the box, I damaged the packaging of the ice cider bottle. My colleagues in shipping take great care of the packages, but I certainly got a bit too enthusiastic while lending a hand. I remain at your disposal, ready to ensure that your future orders are much more peaceful. (I promise, I will blacklist myself from preparing your packages) P.S.: I can send you a packaging for your bottle if you wish. Best wishes!
