Dropped off six leather pocket books two months ago. Owner took my name and phone number.Told me…read morethe deal for consignments and suggested I come back at check what sold or she could donate. Returned today. She never put them out and she never tagged them never inventoried them so she asked me to look in a boxful and try to find them. They are my wife's pocketbooks.I didn't know. Maybe they were there maybe not. She said "didn't know who left them". So they were un shown thus unsold. She is either dishonest or she has no idea how to run a business. If I could give her less than one star I would. She is open when she feels like it.

Yes, it is a small space but it is pretty jam-packed with merchandise and lacks a general sense of cohesion...or at the very least, feng shui. For example...lingerie outfits hanging randomly above the doorway and window? Y'know, right by the silk pashminas and whatnot. Not what I'd expect from a gift store in Ipswich. Gift items span the continents - some Asian, South American, and even local designs from artists. Some of the items are ridiculously overpriced (i.e., little woven trinkets from Turkey - where I used to live - marked up astronomically). Yes, there are some neat finds to be had at Foreign Affairs, but I doubt I'd return.

The clasp was different and I did not know how to lock it after dropping the pearls off my neck a couple of times I thought I would take the pearls into a shop and have the clasp changed, So I brought it to Rainbow Jewelers. I wanted to shop local, I did not realize I would be robbed. I showed the pearls to Richard and as he examined them he delightedly said, "These are very old pearls." I told him my problem with the clasp and he said I wanted them restrung, and I said no, they were fine the way they were and I told him several times "I did not want them restrung." When I went back the same clasp was on the pearls and he had restrung them and about ten of the pearls were missing. I mentioned this when I picked it up and the restringing job that I did not want was poorly done as one side of the string had a new kink in it. I was so very upset, I left very angry trying to figure out how I could get my pearls back, I do not recommend this store to anyone. My directions were not adhered to and I paid him 120$ for poorly done work and missing pearls the necklace is now to short for me to wear comfortably. . I also had ordered a pair of earrings converted from French to posts. I do not care that the work was ugly but just want my pearls back ,,alll of them. regards Barbara Guillette Ipswich, Ma.

Annoyingly, we'd picked up a nail in a tire while passing though New York and had replaced it, but knew we needed to get all the tires checked before hitting the road back to California. JOHN'S TO THE RESCUE. Not only did John detect the direness of our tire's worn-down state, but he managed to acquire the replacement tires needed at a reasonable price, and squeeze us in to have the car ready the next morning, thus assuring we could get back on the road to California on the safest tires possible and on schedule. John and his wife are generous, professional, and all around lovely people. I wish we had them out here in Los Angeles because I'd take my car there every time. John really provides the kind of personalized service that puts a warm face and a hearty laugh on a small town like Ipswich, MA, and let's his customers drive away feeling safer and happy. A class act. I look forward to returning soon!

Our minivan was on the brink of disaster last Monday morning . My steering wheel was shaking so badly, I knew that I could not wait another minute to get repaired. Who do we all call to reverse the damage that our negligence causes? You know it: get JJ Gianakakis at John's Auto in Ipswich, Massachusetts on the phone! I knew my request was nearly impossible, but I told JJ my problem. He directed me to drop my van off immediately at his shop. Within an hour, JJ diagnosed a significant issue that could've been fatal. I needed new tires... like, three months ago! I figured that JJ would have my van in his shop for a couple of days, if not longer... but my pain was self-inflicted, so I would suffer the inconvenience of going without a vehicle to get my problems fixed by JJ. He moved mountains to get the four new tires. He also expertly repaired a heater problem I have been battling for more than a year. And to help me get my life in order, JJ quickly hooked me up with a long-overdue oil change. Within the span of 12 hours, JJ's wizardry got my car repaired and back on the road to hockey practice at 6:30 PM. How many business owners anticipate your needs? John Gianakakis is an expert -- responsive, honorable, and simply indispensable in our Ipswich community. THANK YOU, J!
