I wasn't sure what type of shopping experience we were going to have at Dillard's yesterday…read moreimmediately after opening We were on a hunt for two Paisley 70s men's button down shirts. It's not like Dillards has a dedicated section or do they? We had been at Macys moments earlier but struggled to find a L and a XXL in the same style We briskly walked into Dillards beelined it to the Men's section and my brother causally asked Cole, " Do you where you guys stock the 70s disco shirts?" Cole replies, " Over-there by the back wall". Cole was not kidding, it was an overgrown Paisley garden. There was countless variations in all sorts of out dated fashionable colors like dark brown, purple, and forest green. The dark brown instantly drew our attention so now the mission was to find two in two different sizes. The large was easy to find but the XXL proved to be a bit trickier. After checking hanger sizes and actual sizes we found a mismatch where the hanger had said XL but the shirt was XXL. My brother strips off his over shirt like he's about to a nude model for an art class. The older ladies shopping abruptly stopped and turned their collective heads as if they thought a rendition of Magic Mike was going to be happening live. It was to their chagrin, when my brother put on the brown Paisley shirt over his t-shirt that they knew the show was over. Mission Accomplished. His shirt fit. We made it back to Cole so that he would get the credit / commission / recognition. Cole was impressed with our choices and said that we would look snazzy in our shirts. What more confirmation is needed. Thanks to Dillards, Cole specially for helping us find two brown Paisley shirts for our Dad's Celebration of Life event. It truly looked like we got into a DeLorean traveled back in time twice to get the shirts out our dad's closet. As I write this the day after, I don't think we'll return the shirts to the closet. We understand that the timeline may never be the same but it's a risk worth taking.

Dillards has the best shoe selection. On 7/26/25 at around 12:30 my daughter and I bought some…read moreshoes. This was not the first time we have bought shoes at Dillards. This was the best experience we have had yet. Whoever the lady was (20's maybe?) Dillard's needs to treat her right. She is the employee many stores are lacking these days. She was helpful, polite, and professional. She had called a manager for help with a discount. I could hear how this manager was speaking to this associate. The manager was also great! I commend the manager too for how she spoke to the associate. I do not review often. This was worth the time considering how little I experience a positive interaction, out in the retail world.

I've heard about Steelz but never have had the chance to visit until recently. I am very familiar…read morewith returns as I manage a team that oversees 14-18 online vendors with many of them being on Amazon, Walmart, and Costco. So, criss-cross apple sauce everyone STORYTIME I When you're a manufacturer/vendor and you agree to be on Amazon whereas you sell to Amazon and then Amazon sells to its customers, most vendors choose to pay Amazon 2% for handling the returns. This means that the returns do not go back to the manufacturer or the vendor. Please note that in Seller Central, there is also a similar program but some sellers can opt to have returns returned to them. Steelz from what I saw on their shelves seems to be a home for returning goods from various stores and platforms. It also looks like Steelz is the local recipient of left-over stock that Costco and others don't want on their shelves anymore. STORYTIME II Ever since the asterisk in the upper right-hand corner of the price matrix sign at Costco? If you see the asterisk, it means that the item has a number of days before it leaves Costco. That item may or may not sell out. If it doesn't sell out, meaning sealed, factory new items are left over, Steelz will most likely buy them at a discount ( liquidated price agreed upon with Costco and others ) and then Steelz is now the owner of the inventory of sealed and new items as well as any returns that Steelz wants to buy. While I walked through Steelz, I noticed many items from Costco. I couldn't determine whether or not the pricing at Steelz was indeed a deal. In my opinion, a couple of dollars saving wasn't worth it for me but I do see value for customers who are not Costco members. If didn't have a Costco membership but wanted to shop at Costco, then Steelz is potentially a great deal. Steelz also has many Kirkland products in smaller individual sizes like toilet paper and paper towels. We didn't buy anything at Steelz that day but I would be interested in going back and doing some more looking and pricing. There's been some discussion about the return policy or returning products overall. I can't speak on this topic since I have not purchased anything. If I do purchase anything and if I have to return anything, I'll update this review.

And no it wasn't written on the box. The scale was also dirty. Then I got a box with two cast iron pans. Because of history, I decided to open them in the parking lot. The, big one was used with rust. All in it grease all down the sides of the pans grease all over the bottom with rust, and the protective handle was breaking off in tiny pieces. Needless to say , 13 minutes after purchase, I was refused my money back and had to get a Shop card. When its the stores fault, the store needs to issue a refund.

Since I'm old enough to recall the Pic and Save years of how this store was designed, I expected to find a weird selection of cast-offs from other stores here. No more! Its no longer the hodge podge of closeouts and seconds from other stores. Wandering inside looking for a mattress, I was amazed to find an entire furniture section of new, regularly stocked items. Most looked like they were from Ashley furniture. Name brands of mattresses for really reasonable prices. Beds, couches, dressers, etc...Lots of furniture choices at a fraction of the cost of the big furniture stores or online retailers. Mattress prices and quality on par with Costco. Since moving into the area, this is one of my go-to stores for furniture. Purchased a king sized bed here for $480 that cost more than triple that elsewhere. In addition, they have rugs, sheets, decor, kitchen items, etc. Another plus is that the employees are super friendly and helpful. They also have a rewards program that offers 20% off everything in store and online on certain days. And a generous return policy make this place a winner.

This has got to be hard and I know this from working at movie theaters. I love coming to Big Lots. They have affordable furniture and random goodies galore. I have found nail polish and make up that I love. I have discovered shampoo brands that I have never heard of that I have enjoyed. I go there for the most random tasty snacks. I come here for gift sets and stuff to cook and clean with. I came here to see if I could find anything left like toilet paper and canned goodies. I also needed some extra cleaning essentials. I was having a hard time finding hand soap and one person just went the extra mile and I would have never anticipated such service. Omar is a gem. I don't know if he just got there, but he asked me if he could help me find something. He told me the hand soap was in the back and he went to do something else. Then out of the blue when I was about ready to buy what I did find he came back and led me to what I was looking for. Thank-you for being there.

Location inside Boise Towne (yes, with an e) Square Mall is the only drawback for me because while…read moreI'm not a fan of shopping malls my first foray into this J. Jill store - I noticed it on my mission-trip to Williams Sonoma - was an excellent one. Friendly service, think Nordstrom'esque for welcoming shopper and assisting with finding items and checking with the shopper in the dressing room, well laid out store and with plenty of space in aisleways, neatly arranged merchandise with plenty of options but not overwhelming in same, sizes from 0 to 2X and Petites too. The manager here could teach a master class to other retailers in the area about how to get it right. It makes me want to learn how to wear J. Jill clothing because while I have tried in the past, the J. Jill in the Central Oregon city I lived in was accessed from sidewalk in shopping area and didn't require navigating an indoor mall, so I'd go in when passing by, I never have really learned how to make it work for me, although I am for sure their age demographic and the unfussiness of the styling works for my preferences even if some of the designs are too Eileen Fischer'esque shapeless for me and I feel as if I disappear in them. I'm a smaller and shorter person, 5'4" / size 2, and somehow the regular sizes in JJill are too big for me but the petites aren't right either. But my BFF who is 5'7" / 8 looks great in everything she has purchased in this brand over the years, as does a friend who is in the average American woman size of 12 -14 and they are all dedicated shoppers of J.Jill products. (See closing comment...J. Jill cultivates buyer brand loyalty.) The price is right and in particular when they have sales. Next time I am brave enough to go inside the mall I will spend more time here. If they moved the store outside the mall, I'd be there more often. SERVICE: Dressing rooms are nicely set up. I LOVE that a staff person will check to see if you want a different size or color or item so that you don't have to get dressed to go out to the store floor again. (You hearing this Macy's?) COMFORTABLE ACCESS FOR EVERYONE: As a shopper with disabilities, I have had multiple sclerosis since college years and it is a progressive disease, I particularly appreciate the perfect ADA compliance for at least 36" clear space in aisles. This has been equal access law since 1990 but you'd be amazed how many retailers, in particular for clothing, treat this as optional. Good for J. Jill corporate and this Boise store manager for taking it seriously. Better access is good for all shoppers, and essential for shoppers like me. 411: If you like knowing something about the retailers you choose to support with your spending (we all vote with our feet and wallets) this Forbes article from September 2022 on J. Jill (named after the original founders' daughter) is a good one to chart the ups, downs ups of the business. (Nothing to do with J. Jill, but when I lived in NJ in 1980 I used to sit on my condo deck on some days and watch Malcom Forbe's Capitalist Tool hot air balloon drifting in the distance. A zillion years ago.) https://www.forbes.com/sites/walterloeb/2022/09/27/jjill-focuses-on-older-women/?sh=6fc27e574b0f Forbe's investor POSTSCRIPT: J.Jill is seeking greater acceptance with a "Welcome Everybody" campaign. The customer is uniquely loyal to the brand, the sales associates try to establish personal relationships for the brand. Growth is assured with the strong customer base and the broad size assortment.
