It was a little hard to find and I had no idea there was a YC at Assembly until a friend mentioned it. There were some signs, but it was dark and hard to read. It's on the same street as David's Tea and Le Creuset, just another block down. Pretty typical YC store, not super spacious but all the stock is there. Staff was friendly. Stock was abundant and organized. I found what I was looking far.

I had a call with Marlene and loved speaking with her, she seemed to really understand my vision and was willing to work with my budget. At the end of our call she let me know she would have a quote over to me a week later. It's been 7 weeks now and I never received a quote or any kind of follow up. I understand getting busy and things taking more time, but I was disappointed after sending 2 check-in emails and calling the store and getting completely ignored, especially since I was not looking at any other vendors after my call with Marlene. Since I never got a response or any kind of follow up message I have since signed with a different florist. Again, I understand getting busy but an email saying they no longer had the bandwidth to support my wedding instead of being ignored would have been nice.

This was one of the most disappointing food purchases I've ever made…read more I placed an order totaling over $250 several weeks in advance so it would arrive in Idaho on time for Christmas. Despite ample lead time and premium pricing, the delivery was completely mishandled. The package arrived late, during the afternoon hours of Xmas Eve day, no one was available to receive the package by then, and it was rescheduled for delivery several days later, with confusing/misleading tracking information posted. When the order finally arrived, 2 containers of soup were fully spoiled, the latkes were missing, and the only usual items was a challah bread and a cake. The rest was a total loss. This was meant to be a meaningful holiday gift, a comforting box of food to enjoy for the holiday. Instead, it turned out to be a waste of money and unnecessary frustration. Paying this much for food that arrives late, is incomplete, and/or is unsafe to eat is unacceptable by any standard. There is no excuse for this level of failure. To top it off, Customer Service was unhelpful and unapologetic. I would strong urge others to NOT order from this company, particularly if the time matters or if the food is intended as a gift.

I knew I would have to accept the "sale" price for the item with no gift receipt. I brought the items to the register and showed the cashier and she said they would give me a merchandise credit and I was perfectly agreeable to that. I asked her to please hold them while I did some shopping. I picked up a few things and went to the register. It was all downhill from there. A surly cashier told me the gift receipt was from September so they wouldn't take it back. So I asked " if I walked in with no receipt you'd take it back?". She became more surly and said " it's from September, it's probably on clearance" I said "No it's actually still on the sales floor at full price". Then she went to the register and asked me the telephone number of the person who gifted me the items. I thought she was trying to help me. She actually pulled up my sisters purchases to confirm that the second item was also purchased in September. My sister would be livid if she knew they went into her account in order to justify poor service. The cashier stepped away to speak to a coworker and my niece and I heard her say "I'm being patient but blah blah blah" She then came back and tossed the stuff back to me and said " we can't take any of this back". It's okay that they start promoting Christmas in September but just know that if you buy a gift before November, even with a gift receipt, your gifted will not be able to return or exchange it. I should have paid more attention when the customer before me stormed out and I could hear the same unprofessional employee complaining about the customer. I'm done with the Paper Store. I have 40 years in retail management and have never treated a customer like I was treated.
