too bad about the bugs on the site like using loyalty points for €40, stock errors with every order there is no longer a product, also for the beers on promotion that I received with a DLUO date of 12/2017 no information on your site, they are less good because less fizzy and no response to my emails

Response from Kanata
Hello Thierry,
Thank you for your message and for your loyalty.
We are sincerely sorry to learn that you had a bug in the loyalty point system. It works daily for dozens of customers. We will therefore investigate your technical issue further.
Regarding the promotional beers, we informed you by email of the short DLUO. It should be noted that the DLUO system in Canada is different from that practiced in France, particularly for beers where many Quebec breweries indicate DLUOs of 3-6 months, up to 12 months... when DLUOs in France are 1 year and more. This is therefore a marketing choice of Quebec breweries, to highlight the freshness of the products, but which does not correspond at all to a physical reality: Quebec hops are often the same as those used in Europe.
Finally, regarding the responses to your emails, we are again sorry to learn your feeling that we did not provide any responses. Did you receive our emails?
We sent you a message on 18/12, two on 20/12, and one last on 22/12.
Remaining at your disposal,
We wish you, in the meantime, an excellent day.
Best regards,
The Kanata team

Quebec at my doorstep. Until now, I relied on friends going to Quebec to bring me back particularly the Inuit herbal teas. I will no longer be lacking these authentic and delicious products.

I had the unpleasant surprise of not finding the gift package that was charged to me 1 €. Did something escape me?

Fast delivery, products very appreciated by my hosts especially the maple syrup lollipops. For one out of 2 boxes of cookies, the cookies arrived in crumbs and therefore not very presentable despite reinforced and careful packaging. That's the only point I regret. Delicious ice wine tea.

Hello Mrs. JACQUET,

This site could be very good if it weren't for all these out-of-stock references or 'restocked in July' but we don't have the year ... and cherry on the cake out-of-stock products after placing the order which leads to wasting time managing replacements or refunds. Too bad for a site that wants to be the European hub .....
However, the staff is very pleasant and efficient. Thank you to them

Hello Mr. RULLIER,
Thank you for your feedback.
Indeed, we work with microbreweries (and sometimes even nano-breweries!) that have the particularity (and interest) of offering seasonal brews and not necessarily continuous products throughout the year, as one could do with a classic lager. This then leads to potential stockouts, as we always want to offer the freshest beers possible.
We are nevertheless aware that this can be an inconvenience for some enthusiasts who would like to find these products all year round.
Also, in the same way, we favor products from artisan producers because they are more qualitative, more original, and authentic. The underlying difficulty lies again in the availability of products. A small producer may sometimes have stockouts, which an industrial producer may not have... but we prefer this risk, which does happen quite rarely (but it does happen!) to less qualitative and less interesting products in terms of taste.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused and hope to see you soon in our aisles.
Have a very nice day,
The Kanata team.

I find the site very well done, everything is clear. The only point to improve is the signage when picking up your package at the factory. The pickup point is not quickly visible. For the rest, I am very satisfied with the service provided!

For an order over 700€, I thought at least I would receive samples with my order. Being in retail, we offer our customers either a good bottle of wine or a gift.

positive point: the possibility of having Canadian products delivered directly to your home within 24 to 48 hours negative point: like all intermediaries, Kanata takes a margin on the products, so they are necessarily much more expensive in the end than if we buy them on site... but well... that's the game...

Response from Kanata
Hello and thank you for your review! We are happy about your positive point and simply wish to "moderate" your negative review. It should be noted that importing products from Canada by container, as we do, is subject to taxes and customs duties from the French state / European Union. These taxes can sometimes be up to 30% on certain products and that is mainly what increases the prices... However, we are fortunate to have very significant volumes, which allows us to generally have the same pricing as producers directly in Canada (as in France, you will find very different prices depending on the quality of the same product, this applies to the products we import which are mostly 1/ from small producers and 2/ of very high quality). Thank you again, very nice tasting and see you soon! :) The Kanata team.

too bad, few choices in relay parcels next to my house maybe due to the holidays
Translated reviews
Response from Kanata
Hello Thierry, Thank you for your feedback and your comment regarding the Relay Packages. We selected the Chronopost offer because it allows delivery in 24 hours and has nearly 7500 relay points in France. We are therefore sorry to learn that there were few choices near you at the time of your order. Indeed, as you mentioned, summer vacations and the closures of many establishments temporarily reduce the offer... nevertheless, we will pass the information on to Chronopost. Thank you, have a very nice day and enjoy your tasting, Kanata.

Very good order tracking. Just one downside. I find that many products in the catalog are out of stock which can be frustrating.
Translated reviews
Response from Kanata
Hello Matthieu, Thank you for your feedback and your comment regarding product availability. We are of course trying to avoid stockouts as much as possible, but it happens that a product is very highly requested by individuals or professionals (we are also importers-wholesalers for many establishments in France and Europe: gourmet shops, wine merchants, restaurants, etc.), which then leads to a (very) temporary stockout. However, since all our products are imported from Canada, it takes about 3 to 4 weeks to receive them, provided that our producers are not also out of stock: we work with small producers, passionate about their products and their trades, and in no way with industrialists who have the (only) advantage of producing on a large scale. We prioritize authenticity and quality over quantity. It should also be added that several of our ranges are seasonal and are not offered all year round. In any case, we thank you again for your comment, take it into account and will do what is necessary to limit this type of inconvenience as much as possible. Thank you and have a very nice day! :) Kanata

The order went very well as did the reception. The only negative point is the delivery price which is extremely expensive. Otherwise, my shopping experience went very well.

Hello Célia. Thank you for your message and your feedback. The shipping costs offered on the site start from €5.90 including VAT and are free for any order over €100 including VAT. However, it is true that you ordered a product for €6.90 and therefore, in this case, a delivery at €5.90 including VAT may seem proportionally significant. However, we cannot offer cheaper shipping rates as we also have minimum costs with Chronopost and Colissimo - regardless of the weight or price of the order. Hoping for your understanding. Have a very good day.
