The Banana Republic store in The Village at Corte Madera is a nice place to visit because it tends…read moreto have the latest products. During one of our recent visits, we were searching for a couple of specific items but had difficulty finding the correct size. We asked one of the associates, a young man who was organizing shelves, and he was quick to help us get what we needed from the back room. As it sometimes happens, after our visit, we had to return to exchange one of the items for a different size; again, not a problem. The associates were all very helpful in getting us what we needed. So, nice store, good location, excellent service, and good products at reasonable prices!

Shopping Experience at Nordstrom Racks…read more I am not a shopper! I don't enjoy walking from store to store in search of specific things or gifts, especially during the holidays! I want to walk into no more than three or four stores, get everything I need, and be done with it. That said, I enjoy walking through my favorite stores and checking out the goods without any specific purchase in mind. Sometimes, I find something I wasn't planning to buy, but I realize it could help me or make someone close to me very happy. I know this sounds confusing, but I think you get what I mean! Anyway, Nordstrom Racks is one of the stores I enjoy walking through. They are organized and carry well-known brands, which is not as important to me as it is to many others. This specific location is one of those stores that we visit often, and I have found and bought many items here. The staff has been helpful whenever I needed help, and we've never had any issues shopping here. The prices for certain items may be somewhat higher here than some other comparable stores, but if you do not have the time to go from store to store hoping for a better price, then it is worth it. The only drawback is that the racks can get very messy during busy shopping periods like the holiday season. So, it is always best to visit and get what you need before the crowds rush in and mess things up!

I had a great experience here. I did a return, and also browsed their sale section, which was quite expansive. I was able to find these really cute jeans in my size, that were an additional 50% off, although final sale. Their sale rack was very organized, and very plentiful. There was a whole room full of tops, and two racks of jeans. There were even more random sale items throughout the store, not in the sale section. I was quite surprised. I waited in line twice, once to return, and once to buy my jeans. Neither wait was long at all - just one person ahead of me, quite quick. I don't know why this store such poor reviews, because I had a pleasant experience here!

I understand what DSW is so based on that they get 4 stars…read more DSW is a shoe store that has their entire inventory out which creates a self help situation for the shopper. You know right away if the shoe on display has your size by looking down at the inventory stacked below. You won't find the latest greatest models of shoes but you will find something for your feet. Manage expectations. You aren't shopping at Nordstrom or even Neiman Marcus designer shoe parlours. I bought New Balance for my sweet mother in law. Then I bought a pair for my loving husband. They both LOVE their new shoes, the fit, and how it makes their bodies feel. I'm delighted that I have made straightforward no fuss purchases at a great price to persuade both of them to exclusively buy footwear that fits well from day 1 while supporting your body. I knocked off a star because while I do understand their great prices are due to self service and not stocking the latest style. I wanted the latest style New Balance like mine from Nordstrom. I was too lazy to drive to Nordstrom Corte Madera when I also wanted to take my MIL clothes shopping at the lovely Vintage Mall. They have different inventory online vs in person at this location so do check there as well. Lots of parking, easy try on and purchase, friendly staff, easy return/exchange. Get you a pair of shoes that make your body feel good.

This is a busy location, so it is understandable the staff is usually preoccupied. Most of them are…read moregreat despite this. They try to help as they can even they are bogged down by a line full of customers. However, Hannah..... is the epitome of bad customer service. I get there is a lot of people there, but if you can't even put on a professional attitude while at work maybe don't work with customers. As I said they are busy, I came up and she made a line full of customers wait because she was gossiping to a co-worker. Finally the manager asked her to jump on a register and she did. I swear snails move faster and once the manager left, she tried to continue her gossiping over the registers and in between instructions for the customer. I had questions, but forget it, maybe it's best to find another place to get my shoes. This wasn't worth my time. The selection is pretty broad and easy to find something you need no matter the occasion. And they have great brands that are well worth it. The price is usually pretty reasonable and they have a great clearance section.

BEWARE!!! I ordered two of the shirts, one for my hubby and one for a dear Friend. When the men…read moretried them on, they BOTH had grease spots on the front, about 4-6 inches from the bottom. They each had a yellowish white spot near the shoulder. At first we were offered 40% discount on FUTURE purchases. After talking with the Manager of customer service we were given an additional 20% off the purchase of these shirts. I had purchased these off the internet with an initiall 20%, so yes, her total offer was 40% off. My friend kept his shirt, as it was dark colored and his wife thought she might be able to get the grease out. If she could not, it was near the bottom and he could tuck the shirt in. My husband's shirt was lighter color and I did not want to attempt to get a grease spot out of a $100.00 shirt, so it was returned. Sadly, both men loved the beautiful shirts and they fit well. But I could not wrap my head around both shirts being stained in near the same spots. The only thing that comes to mind is that they may have been stained in the packing process. ie, was a machine recently oiled, etc. Not happy with the way the claim was initially handled, why would I want 40% off a Future order, I highly doubt there will be any future orders.

Fabletics is and particularly the VIP program and returns and customer service... horrible…read more I clicked on something to buy it cheap and was signed on without my awareness to a $59 monthly charge i was not even aware of. I received some bras that were fine and this outdoor jacket for 23 dollars that didn't fit right. At this point I engaged in a roughly 1.5 month struggle that time added up I probably spent 8-10 of the hours I usually earn 80 dollars for each one worked to try to return a 23 dollar jacket. I was sent a QR code. The customer service person said to bring it to USPS. I brought it there. They said no. I forgot about it and some time went by. I tried again at UPS and it wasn't the right UPS. Sad and demoralized, i gave up for a while and tried again. The code was out of date. I call customer servIce repeatedly and there were 200 - 250 ppl ahead of me?!?! I opt to hang up and get a call back and nobody calls back. I finally got a hold of a human again. She said she would extend the code . She sent me a new one. I went to the "Happy Retirns" location, how ironic.. it didn't work again the same day she updated it and emailed me the updated code?!?! I gave up and am looking for someone to give the jacket away too so I don't have to look at it anymore. Then the dreaded moment came; having to go on the website and use up the VIP points I I never wanted, and that by the way have no basis in actual value?!?! I could get a $99 outfit for a $59.99 VIP point (you get one point for 59.99) OR a $12 bra?!?! Please. Further, these much touted "outfits"?!?! Who throws these things together? They are mostly designed to look like mismatched workout clothes for women who want to pretend they're busy and just threw together some separates. Fableitcs is saying "to all you women who just can't figure out how to dress yourself to pretend you're fresh out of a workout, just wear these, Honey. There. There." Pathetic. I look through each and every "outfit" the customer service lady convinced me so effectively were worth me not deleting the VIP account and monthly charge. I couldn't find 1 (one) outfit that I looked at and made me think "hmm. There's an outfit!" Fabletics is targeting a uniquely vulnerable cash conscious woman who wants to look like she spent 200 dollars on athletic gear and to hook her a monthly subscription. Horrible. I deeply regret getting involved with this company and have 1 (one) t-shirt i like.
