anb says "You'll never be disappointed at Jody Did It!" about Jody Did It - Marblehead, OH

anb — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:18:36 GMT

Jody Did It is a jewelry and home accessories store in Marblehead, OH. Jody, the owner, is an artist with a funky flair. She is always coming up with something fun and different. She scours estate sales and flea markets, finding unusual items and adding her own touch. One time, she found a hanging candleholder in the shape of an anchor. She wire wrapped the entire thing with beads & charms, creating a beautiful, eye-catching piece that we get lots of compliments on. She works in glass - we have a beautiful decorative glass panel and I have a fused dichroic necklace by her. She also paints and comes up with creative combinations of materials and items. She is open most of the year, but sometimes closes in Jan-Feb, so be sure to call before you go. In the off season, she is usually open Fri-Sun. You can be assured that there will always be something you can't live without when you visit Jody Did It!

elswithp says "This is definitely worth looking into - again and again!" about Paddington Station - Albion, MI

elswithp — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 19:09:23 GMT

Paddington Station - This little store next to the Hardware Store in Albion has a great mix of goods. Starting with clothes for men, women and children, to jewelry, - both fashion and "real" - to school supplies, home deco articles and practical items, Paddington Station presents itself as an upscale flea market store.

There are many different styles of decorator items from all over the world, and even the odd antique or two can be found here. According to owner Nancy, everything is for sale, even the furniture.

Booths are for rent at agreeable prices by the day, week or month for those who want to try out having a :"flea market" space themselves. And it is recommended that you come at least once a week to browse since items on display change constantly.

Looking for candles? Perhaps missing a piece of a special pattern of your dinner service? Need a new claspon your necklace repaired? You once saw a special decorator item but did not get it and now you decided you would like to have it...

mumphra says "all about the sale no warrenty or customer service help" about Sleepy's - Plymouth, MA

mumphra — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:02:10 GMT

Sleepys is the worst store in the universe.

I bought a 2000 mattress and box-spring set about 6 months ago. It was for a spare room in my house and never really slept on it. Well one day i was laying in it and i noticed a really hard spot at the foot of the bed that went from one side to the other. I mean this had almost no give what so ever. Clearly a factory default. I thought nothing about it and called 1800sleepys figuring that this would be a simple problem that would be corrected.

WAS I EVER WRONG. I talked to the service department and they said that it sounded like a comfort issue and they couldnt do anything about it. At this point i assumed that they just didnt understand what i was saying. So i repeated what i said added a few more details, and the lady on the other side of the phone started to get annoyed with me. She aggressivly told me there was nothing they could do. She said that if the inspector came there and with out touching the set couldnt see anything wrong that...

threebluecats says "LOVE the store, huge inventory, great products!" about Great Indoors - Littleton, CO

threebluecats — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 06:40:32 GMT

I love shopping at The Great Indoors. Unfortunately I'm usually browsing and saying "oooh, ahhh! That is so cool!" Their prices are too high in my opinion, and I usually end up buying a cheaper version at another store. However, mostly I just go without. In addition, this store is not in my usual shopping area, so it's quite a bit out of my way to go. I only get to go there if I have some other errands to run out in that area. It's such a large store I can understand why they don't have more of them. It's a great place to buy a wedding gift, or shower gift, and especially great to find items to put on my own wish list!

I am attracted to the bright lighting, the spaciousness of the isles (you're not bumping in to other customers), the high vaulted ceilings, and they have superb customer service. It seems there's always an employee close by to help direct you to the right location. And they usually even smile at you! Amazing!

Candlelover says "I love Wickit Good!!!!" about WickIt Good Candles - Manasquan, NJ

Candlelover — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:14:24 GMT

I think Wickit Good candles are the BEST candles I have ever found. And by my name, you can tell that I am a candle lover!

There is no black walls and no black smoke. The candles are very strongly fragranced and smell just as strong the last inch of wax as they do when you first open the jar. I never have any leftover wax in the jar either. That's how I know I am getting my money's worth.

The store in Point Pleasant is where the candles are made for this location and the one in Chester, NJ. They are handmade in the back of the candle store. The shop itself is REALLY cool! It has alot of gift items besides just the candles. Alot of the stuff in the store is handmade by local artists. I go there for all my gifts. It's like a "one stop shop" at Christmas time!! I have always been helped by the staff. They are very good with the gift ideas. Sometimes I would go in and say, I need a give for $40.00 and within minutes, they have helped me choose the perfect gift for my friend.

My only complaint...

Rosarynun says "Silestone Countertops: The customer is never right." about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

Rosarynun — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 20:59:35 GMT

Before deciding on Silestone Countertops I went back and forthe between Corian, the new laminate from Lowes(I have forgotten the name of it) and Silestone. I decided to go with silestone because one of Home Depot's selling points was that all of their products have hight customer ratings and they do not put anything in their store that does not have a high rating. I am trying to figure out now where they get their reviews from because their craftmanship and service was awful. First of all it took 2 months to get my countertops installed, the lady handling my order forgot to submit the measurements to Stone Made Products before a specific deadline to have an installation before Thanksgiving of last year. She had my measurements 5 days before the deadline, and sent them in the day after. When they finally came to install them (at 8 o'clock at night mind you, I settled for that because they forgot to come that morning), the installers intentionally cut off the lip to my counterop's......

wellow says "I LOVE This Store!" about Bed, Bath and Beyond - Appleton, WI

wellow — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:21:35 GMT

I was introduced to BED, BATH & BEYOND about a year ago, and it has become one of my favorite stores to shop for towels, bedding and just about anything you need for the home. I always get excited when I shop at BED, BATH & BEYOUND because the store always looks inviting, and you can always find what you need, and at a reasonable price....

AlmondJoy2475 says "how swedish it is" about Ikea - East Palo Alto, CA

AlmondJoy2475 — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 23:03:51 GMT

in the past, i have turned to ikea to purchase some inexpensive accessories and pieces of furniture. it's 5 years later and i still have all the accessories and furniture...all are durable and still intact.

we went to this ikea location to pick up a couple of things (a tv stand and some svepa glasses in particular). ok, so the quality of some of the products aren't the best, but they do have sturdier quality items. you've got to look and choose the right ones. if you see something that you might be interested in purchasing, you might want to check it out thoroughly first (lay on it, lean on it, pick it up, press on it, pull it, push it, sit on it, stand on it). you can't expect to get something like a $17 tv stand to last a few years - unless you're buying it to set your 10" portable dvd player on it, then it might have a chance.

i've never bought anything from ikea's food court before. my past visit, i decided to get an ice cream cone, which i didn't really care for. mind......

MrsChrissy says "You can do it, and we wont help- The Home Deopt" about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

MrsChrissy — Wed, 07 May 2008 23:47:16 GMT

We had a huge remodeling job on our hands and were approved for a high credit limit at the Home Deopt so we did all of our shopping there. What a mistake!! There was NO customer service and if someone didi help us the had no idea how to answer our questions. For example, we order the materials for a deck with the help of a "Deck Designer". When the materials arrived shorted us almost a quater of the lumber we needed and no deck spindles!...

richard648 says "This place sucks big time. I found out after I spent $3000 !" about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

richard648 — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:11:10 GMT

I bought all my appliances there and asked for a service contract on each one. It took three hours of indecipherable paperwork to do it all. I was told I would get the rebates and contracts in the mail. They never came. After months of fighting, I found out that I never was provided with the service contract on my refrigerator and I could not buy one now as it was 5 months past the date of purchase for this. A month later, my refrigerator broke down and it cost me $400 to fix.....all because the Home Depot messed up my order!...

reporter56 says "Home Depot has good products, but its contractors leave somethin" about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

reporter56 — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 08:07:29 GMT

When we did a complete remodel on our kitchen, we has Home Depot resurface our cupboards. The representative came to our home and was very helpful, not at all pushy. However, when the contractorsthat Home Depot used came and did the work, one of the guys in particular did VERY sloppy work. We had to keep pointing out things that were crooked, and after looking more closely to the work, we found even more shabby workmanship. The two workers had to come back twice after they had completed the job to fix, and or replace veneer and crown molding. In several places, for instance, the one guy had shot nails completely through the crown molding, then pulled SOME of the nails back out and renailed it. Holes were not fixed, and some of the nails were still sticking out where they could be seen in plain sight. I guess I would not recommend Home Depot resurfacing anyone's kitchen cabinets.

AmyA says "This store should be hidden from me" about Bed, Bath and Beyond - Appleton, WI

AmyA — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:56:04 GMT

Bed, Bath and Beyond really fits it's name. It has a little something for everyone. If your into goodies for your kitchen, latest gadgets from "As seen on TV", pet items, table cloths, candles, relaxation items, small gadgets for your home and or kitchen, storage, you name it they pretty much have it there.

I am always pleased going into Bed, Bath and Beyond not only for their selection, but their kind service, with people always asking if you need something or if your looking for something they will be more then ready to help you out. They will even bring you a cart if they see your arms are over flowing with goodies (that happens to me a lot). There prices aren't bad at all. I find something and I am afraid to look at the price and I am shocked it isn't sky high. Yes, very please with this store. I know I will be returning. My boss asked me when I go back to pick him up a couple of the crank flash lights that I found there.

I have yet to walk out of this store empty...

xjewel903x says "Great store for the do-it-yourselfer" about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

xjewel903x — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:50:38 GMT

This is the place I love to go to do those around the home projects. We have recoated our own roof for the fraction of the price of a roofer and installed our own hardwood floors in our kitchen and bedroom. Home Depot has all the materials we need and have great associates who can help give you advice when needed. Their shelves are always stocked and most of the time stuff is easy to find. They also have classes once a week on how to do-it-yourself on different projects which is great for people like us....

eiei00 says "Deteriorating Customer Service & Products!" about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

eiei00 — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 01:40:35 GMT

Over the past 5 years this company has become too big for their britches! Left and Right, everything we bought there was falling apart. Then when you take it back to replace it, they say, "Oh, I'm sorry New Policy, We have to send it off to get fixed." Then they say it was looked at and cost this much to replace and its not covered. Yet when you look at the paperwork that came with the item it said it was.

More and More like other chains unfortunately, like Wal-Mart. Everyone needs to step up and see the bigger picture...Your paying cheaper, because your getting cheaper, crappier products!

painter74 says "You can usually find it here!" about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

painter74 — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:28:24 GMT

I love the Home Depot. This store always gives me so many ideas for improvement to my home or garden. The staff is usually friendly and very helpful. I know that if it is something that I need for my home, I can probably find it at Home Depot. They have such a large selection. Though, sometimes that can be overwhelming. It is a huge store. And sometimes you can get "lost" in there. The prices are a little high though, for such a large store, you would think there may be some type of bulk discount they get that they could pass on to customers....

posteherchild says "Customer Service at it's best!" about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

posteherchild — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 00:24:00 GMT

On a recent expedition to have carpet installed in my whole house, I compared Lowe's against Home Depot and found out that Lowe's raises it's carpet prices in order to offer lower installation prices and then falsely advertises that it is the lowest price around. Home Depot offered 199.00 installation for the whole house, and the installers did a great job. My measure was done within 48 hours and the install set up for 3 days later. One week was all it took to make my house look like a beautiful new home. I would highly recommend their services!...

williehugh says "overall good service, be careful of special orders" about Lowe's Home Improvement - Guntersville, AL

williehugh — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 16:02:52 GMT

This store has overall good service. The only bad experience I have had was with special order wallpaper. They screwed up the order, I only got half of it, then when they reordered it was a different color lot# and about 2 shades off. They gave me a hassle about refunding my money because it was special order, but in the end I won....

MacGyver says "Never Again, Unless Jim is Store Manager not just Lawn & Garden " about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

MacGyver — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 19:02:27 GMT

When I goto Lowe's I am welcomed buy every emplohyee & the Management. Toded, the Manager even escorts me to departments to assist with getting me what I need but have no idea what it is called or who makes it. Every item he has given me work, does te best, and husband is amazed that I can buy stuff.

Last year my husband bought me a MTD/Troy Built snow blower that is power driven since I cannot push it with my broken neck, and the first time I use it it blows its engine. Obvious not a new unit sold to us for $600 at Brooklyn Tractor in Cleveland OH. So we phone them to come & get it, we are told they no longer sell MTD & Troy Built is their product. I TOLD THEM THEY HAVE MY MONEY FOR CRAP. They said sorry, but not theiir problem. So I got the Attorney General of State of Ohio to get our money back. SO now we are shopping for a new one. I have seen plenty of reviews for Toro & Ariens.

Lowes is #1 stop but guess what, they have MTD & Troy Built, NO WAY! So over to Home...

kid-kansas says "Hello- DId you find what you were looking for?" about Home Depot - New Albany, IN

kid-kansas — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 02:10:43 GMT

I hear the same thing every time I walk into our Home Depot "Hello Did you find what you were looking for" So many in fact it gets to be repetitive sometimes. It is refreshing as opposed to their biggest competitor though, you know the big "L".

The Service

Sometimes when I need help their is no one in the department I am in, but a short walk to a main isle always brings an able bodied person. If they are not from that department or not familiar with the product they call someone to help me. Most times the wait is very short and if not the person tries to help anyway. I appreciate that as I go there for a lot of projects I do around the house.

I have had them go out of their way to help me at times as well. Once I was looking for fence boards and one guy stayed with me the whole time helping me with my measurements and counting the boards as I went along. He even reminded me about screws and showed me the selection and helped me pick the right screw for my project.

When I was ready......
