Consumer Warning
It's that time of year when you will be getting pressured by door to door salespeople. They would like to sign you up to "limited time offer" that expires "right away". And before you know you know it you're on the hook for thousands of dollars. (This happens several thousand times each year).
The Pressure:
- Sales person won't leave even when you tell them to "Leave"
- Sales person won't leave when you tell them "No Thanks"
- Sales person won't leave when you say "I Already Have Your Products or Service"
- Sales person name drops the name of your neighbor and makes it sound like "they signed up" or "they bought one" or "they referred me to you"
- Sales person comes to the house more than once
The Solutions:
- Put Up Your Hand and "Say NO". Immediately close the door and the sales person will eventually leave.
- Tell them "You are Trespassing" and that you will call the BBB Better Business Bureau, Consumer Protection Branch and the Police if they do not leave.
BBB 1-888-352-7601
Consumer Protection 1-877-880-5550
Saskatoon Police (306) 975-8300
RCMP (Saskatoon) (306) 975-5173
or call your Local Detachment
- Always Get 3 Quotes for whatever you consider purchasing. This gives you the time to gather information and to check if the "deal" being presented to you is the best option.
- Never Accept Quick Delivery of a product or service. This gives you a cooling off period and more time to gather facts.
- If you did proceed with the offer You Have 10 Days to Change Your Mind and CANCEL (and get a full refund). It's the Law in Saskatchewan.
- Don't Forget - You may already be in a contract for the products or services being offered to you.

Project: Modular Storage Systems
Modular Storage Systems recently partnered with Reed Security to protect their newest self storage facility in Sutherland (331-103rd Street East) . Thanks Darrell!
We designed a layered security solution consisting of:
- ReedHD Hi-Def Cameras that capture Faces and License Plates
- ReedHD Hi-Def Cameras that protect the interior and exterior of the building - including down individual isles
- Optional: ReedHD Smart Camera Technology. Cameras can detect intruders and notify the client. The client can talk down to the site or trigger loud outdoor sirens and strobe lights. "Hey! You in the Red Jacket...the Police Are On The Way!"
- Easy-to-Use Video Management Software allows the client to quickly review HD video using a SEARCH BAR. "Review Hours in Minutes"
- Display Adjustment allows you to manipulate recorded HD video. "Change the brightness and contrast of recorded video to get the quality the Police can use."
- All events are recorded in HD for at least 30 days.
- All HD video can be accessed remotely within the building or remotely via high speed internet (by iPhone, iPad, Android apps or PC).
- Alarm System with 24/7 Monitoring of Burglar, Fire and Panic signals. We quickly notify the proper authorities.
- Future ability to add an Access Control Keypads that restricts access to an electric sliding gate - control WHO goes WHERE and WHEN
A layered security solution:
Decreases Theft, Liability, False Claims, and Losses.
Increases Productivity, Accountability, and Profits.
