My father, a senior citizen, wanted to patronize a local business for a recent notary need. He went…read moreto Borden's to get something notarized. Mr. Lubin charged him $10 even though the price set by NJ Department of Treasury Division of Revenue and Enterprise Service caps the price state wide at $2.50. When my father questioned the 4x upcharge, Mr. Lubin said "he was doing my father a favor (the document was signed at this point) he could have charged my father $20 or $30" This price is set by the state, yet Mr. Lubin took advantage of the situation and a senior citizen. My father contacted the county and the state notifying them of Mr. Lubin and this establishment of unfair business practices.

I'm a newly hired third grade teacher and basically hit the ground running when I started and have…read morenot had time to visit Borden's. I taught about 14 years ago and always bought supplies at this store. I was very excited to finally have time to go this past Saturday. I looked up the store hours which stated they closed at 5. I arrived a little before 4pm and was greeted by a gentleman asking me if I needed help finding anything. I explained one of the many items I was looking for and he replied very abruptly "I have no idea what you are talking about!" and walked away to help other customers. I went about my business looking at everything and getting ideas of what I was going to purchase. I was then approached by the gentleman again asking if I needed further assistance and I told him I was just looking around. After the way he responded the first time I needed help, I realized he didn't really want to be helpful. He then proceeds to tell me that he hates to tell me this, but he's closing soon. Being as I knew they closed at 5pm, I questioned the closing time while looking at my watch noticing it was only 4. He stated sometimes people have things to do and have to close early. More people were walking in and he said in a very annoyed manner "UGH, now more people are coming in, I guess I have to stay open. I'll give you a little time to shop, but not too much longer." At that point I was completely turned off and told him he lost me as a customer and how nasty he is. It's not like I live very close to this store and to be treated with poor customer service after I made a special trip there is unacceptable. Being as it's the only teacher store left in the area, I will continue to shop online as I did as soon as I got home from Borden's. I had sent an email asking for the owner to contact me. It is now Wednesday and still have not received any response. I have a feeling the gentleman I encountered may be the owner and seriously needs some customer service training or even simply how to treat others.

purchased a kitchen table five years ago from Seaside Furniture as I wanted a quality product and a…read moretable which was of quality and last.....surprisingly the table is all peeled and ready for the garbage. I spend nearly $ 2, 000 on the table which is only used in my seasonal home I shared the issues with Karen of customers service about my concern... here is her exact response....."your table was purchased in 2019, 5 years ago. Seaside Furniture is your local furniture store, we are not a big box store and we can not afford to replace every damaged piece well after the warranty has expired. You cannot go to a car dealer after your warranty has expired and say, we only use the car when we are at our beach house and it is just not running right, I want to exchange it" It is clear why the store has so many negative ratings. The store is selling Bob's quality furniture and quality similar to IKEA... I would recommend going elsewhere..
