Lakeland Communications - Wainwright, Alberta

Jenene Ganske

Recently was in and received top-notch service from Dalton at Koodo-Wainwright. (I should add, my call the previous day with Ryan was pleasant and satisfying as well, ultimately leading me in to my visit the next day).
Dalton was very pleasant and informative, accommodating my needs, answering numerous questions and saving me in areas I certainly didn’t expect. His cross-selling should make his employer pleased. I’m thankful he asked about these products as I very likely would have forgotten to ‘shop’, with my limited time of opportunity.
Great job Dalton! Thank you for your pleasant demeanour and service. Keep that up and you will go far….in all aspects of life!

I had a great experience with Lakeland Communications Inc this morning. Dalton was wonderful and very helpful, especially with the process and time that it took to get me set up and on me way. I had several questions that were addressed and overall I am very appreciative of all the help i received. I also witnessed a lot of great help while I waited. You'll find great service here or helpful individuals to guide you to the right place.

We popped into Lakeland communications to set up a phone and Shane got it done promptly and also put a glass protector on for us. I always get great service at Lakeland!

Been there twice now, neither time they would help and I won’t be back. On this last occasion, my SIM was apparently defective as my cell service dropped out last night and when I talked to Telus, they did some checking and ended up telling me to go in and just get a new SIM at no cost because it was defective.

I go in and the first and only question I get at the counter was if Telus was crediting my account for the twenty bucks I would have to pay despite what Telus had told me. The only solution he provided was either to pay the twenty bucks or drive to a corporate Telus store in Edmonton or Lloyd. He could have looked at my account or talked to Telus himself to determine how best to serve me as a client, but either chose not to (likely) or didn’t even realize this as a viable option. The fact that there was only one other customer in at the time, who was being helped by someone else, suggested that he had the time to spend to try to help me, but chose not to.

As a customer, I don’t care if you are a corporate store or an affiliate, if you slap giant Telus logos on your business, I only see Telus as a consumer and expect the same professional and courteous service that has kept me as a Telus customer for well over a decade.

The actual Telus employee whom I had talked to earlier called me about 10 minutes after I left Lakeland communications to see how I had made out. I went through everything and expressed my displeasure with being told one thing by Telus and something else by Lakeland. I said that if Telus is allowing small affiliate companies to be displaying giant Telus signs on their businesses, the customer service they provide should be at a minimum on par or better than Telus corporate. After reading other reviews, it seems like people who they know in town get excellent customer service, but if you aren’t known, you are brushed off.

Personally, I like supporting local businesses because Wainwright is an exceptional community, but for your cellular needs, I am sorry to say that you are better off either driving to a city or dealing with Telus themselves over the phone or online and have them ship you out the product you need instead of dealing with Lakeland.
