The boxes of the cider bottles are worn at the corners and two of them have creases all along. Impossible to offer these bottles in their boxes.

3 cans to throw away because of bad condition and the customer service return is a 10% discount on the next order while the coupon included in the package is already 10% so no commercial management

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

Response from Kanata
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. On the product sheet, we clearly mention that our poutine kit is frozen and should not be refrozen and that it should be consumed quickly. For your next order, feel free to choose a frozen delivery to give you more time to consume the cheese. Best wishes! Emilie

This is the second time I order and it's the second time that one item is changed without informing me and that I paid for!!
I sent 2 complaint emails on the site recently and received no response.
I am still waiting for the Metal moose on The loose plaque to this day as I never received it and I paid. It's a Christmas gift!!!
On my first order, it was an amber flint that I never received!!!

Mixed review. I must say that the delivery by Chronopost brings down the score given that with a delay of 96 hours I requested a cancellation and a refund of my order to see as it has not been done to this day

bad surprise, I picked up the poutine directly upon arrival at the relay and the cheese was hot with liquid, even though it wasn't a fresh delivery, the product sent frozen should have still been cold upon arrival!!! I was told that customer service would be notified and since then silence.

Hello Magali We apologize for this malfunction. Regarding the delivery time and my lack of response, I think it is linked to the fact that we suspended our activity and shipments for a few days at the end of August, during the move of our warehouses. Indeed, we have expanded our premises. I am at your disposal to discuss and find a solution that will satisfy you. Here is my direct line: 07 68 03 80 82. Looking forward to exchanging.

Response from Kanata
Hello,
And thank you for taking the time to give your opinion on your orders. First of all, I thank you for trusting us for this lovely gesture.
Regarding the two orders that took a little longer to arrive, as shown in the package tracking, they were ready to be shipped on December 18. Unfortunately, during this very busy period, it can happen that our carrier cannot take all the packages during pickup. The carriers' platforms have quotas for packages, above which packages can no longer be processed. That is why we indicated on our site that the deadlines could no longer be guaranteed. Your package was shipped on Monday the 21st, delivered on the 22nd, so in 24H.
I am sorry that you were disappointed, but I can assure you that we did our best to ship your orders quickly during this busy period.
I hope at least that the happy recipients were touched by your gesture!
Have a nice week and a happy new year ahead.

Hello
And thank you for taking the time to give your opinion on the order.
Regarding the reference you ordered, it is 24 SURPRISE GIFTS, which explains why the package is not detailed! However, you still had some clues with the photos of the items present, and the way they would be packaged.
Each item was wrapped in a gift bag for the surprise effect. This allowed them to be placed under the tree or hidden in the house.
Regarding the message for Laure, it was actually a message that each preparer takes the time to write by hand in all our packages for the recipient, sometimes accompanied by a smiley or a drawing for those who can draw! ;) So it was Laure who took care to prepare the package for your friends.
Glad that the tasting went well & Thank you for trusting us!
Have a nice week and a happy new year ahead.

I have been ordering since last year and I had a wonderful souvenir, the presentation in a wicker box, little packages with numbers that really looked like an advent calendar. I loved it so much that I bought a second box for my sister who is on the other side of France, there was just the card with the message that needed to be refined, otherwise the maple syrup is of good quality and overall I was not disappointed with the content. And this year I ordered with my eyes closed for myself and my sister. What a disappointment when I saw the package, the description of the ad is the same as last year and the same price. No wicker box just a plain cardboard box nothing more, no numbers on the little packages and some gifts very disappointing especially the one that costs $4.50, having 3 times the maple caramel, I would have preferred postcards or a large poster. I called customer service because they were not responding by email, I expressed my dissatisfaction and disappointment especially for the second package which is a gift I am giving to my sister. The person I spoke to on the phone somewhat understood my dismay. I would have said to remove the word box, during the holiday season a box is a nice container not just a plain cardboard which has been corrected on the site, but I did not appreciate at all when they told me: 'I will call you back to see what we can do', only to never call you back and make you look like an idiot by calling them again, to hear that they had no box to replace and even to make a commercial gesture so I bought 2 packages so thank you for understanding my note to you to try to regain my trust. I wish you happy holidays to you and your team

A bit expensive for the quantity of products and one box arrived damaged, inconvenient for a Christmas gift. Despite my requests for a commercial gesture (a small discount on a future order for example), I only received the response: it's the carrier's fault, not ours, and their terms do not allow for a gesture. Very disappointing, because when you do business, you take responsibility, including for transport.

Response from Kanata
Hello,
First of all, we would like to apologize for this inconvenience. We pack our orders with great care. Some customers even complain that we use too much packaging in our boxes! (Note that we use many recyclable and/or recycled materials).
Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for the handling that the carrier subjects our packages to.
On the Chronopost tracking, we just saw that your package was refused. We are making a compensation request to their service and we will send your package as soon as possible, today or tomorrow.
We will keep you informed of its tracking number.
We renew our apologies and wish you a good day!
Best regards,
The Kanata customer service

The products are of average quality and too expensive for the quantities (in grams) sold, other brands sell the same products under different names much cheaper, a bit disappointed!
Translated reviews
Response from Kanata
Hello,
We are sorry that you are disappointed with your order on our site, especially since we were, I think, responsive regarding the error you made on your delivery choice by offering you a quick solution.
Regarding the price of our products, we have chosen our producers with whom we have been working for several years for some since the beginning, for the quality of their products, but also for the human adventure and the values that accompany them (hand-picking, family project, associative, ...). This choice has a cost that we assume. And the positive feedback from our customers for over 20 years makes us say that we did well. Moreover, many products are processed without additives, which makes them more expensive than others.
We hope that your love for Quebec gastronomy will not hold it against us. Best regards, The KANATA team

my pickup point was not available, they delivered my package to another pickup point without asking me beforehand if the pickup point chosen by Kanata was suitable for me... result I have to travel to a pickup point not at all close to my home, it's a shame
Translated reviews
Response from Kanata
Hello Madam,
We understand your dissatisfaction and we apologize even if the problem encountered is not our fault. As agreed, we delivered your KANATA package to the selected pickup point, namely TELTECH in Créteil.
According to CHRONOPOST, this pickup point has been closed for several days in a row, forcing them to deliver your order to the nearest pickup point. Unfortunately, depending on the regions, this choice imposed on us by Chronopost's terms and conditions is not necessarily suitable. We have reported the information to Chronopost. We will keep you informed if they follow up on your case.
We hope, however, that this did not prevent you from enjoying the tasting of your products?
We renew our apologies and wish you a good weekend, sincerely, The Kanata team

Parcel picked up at a pick-up point in a catastrophic state. 2 packages of blueberries and crushed biscuits, and in crumbs. Since it's for a birthday, I don't have time to return it. I recovered what could be recovered. I am disappointed with the quality of the transport, even though the products were well packaged individually. The tray was also crushed. Too bad.
