I learned about Neely's from Gold Elite Yelper Gary I and decided to pop in since I was in the neighborhood. I found a spotless store, filled with aisle after aisle of educational games, stickers, posters, and other miscellaneous supplies that educators need. Everything was well organized and spotless. I also found a delightful host to guide me to exactly what I was looking for. And....they do laminating for a reasonable price! Street parking.

I definitely want to support and like this place more than I actually do…read more Yes, the store offers plenty for educators interested in upping the aesthetics of their curriculum and/or classroom. It leaves much to be desired in terms of customer service. I was the only one shopping and noticed it was very dark. As I roamed, I discovered an entire section with no lights. Was it closed? Was I off limits? Who was to say? I went to the counter and rang the service bell to find out. No one came. I waited a couple minutes and rang it again. No one came. A third ring finally got the Neely's employee to come and he turned on the lights with little enthusiasm. I found what I wanted (and then some) and went to make my purchases. I had to hunt down the same employee again to ring me up. Of course, his register wasn't working. I mean, that's what I assumed because he kept staring at it for several minutes without saying a word to me. I tried to engage but got little communication back and was ready to leave until, 12 minutes later, the register finally worked. I'm all about helping small business but they also gotta help themselves. I'm not writing this place off entirely because of their selection and my hope that it was just a (terrible, horrible, no good) really bad day.

This website however did not say that they are not open on the weekends and do not even process orders until "normal" business hours. So my order was processed on that following Monday and I won't be receiving it until 7 days later on the next Monday because they don't do deliveries on the weekend. When I called the customer service hotline, they did not seem very eager in helping me fix this problem and did not apologize for their website not stating this very important information. For a website that caters to teachers, it is a very poorly set-up idea because teachers need things immediately and when they order them to allow for their classroom to be set-up on time. I have emailed and have asked for a refund on my express shipping and have not received this either. I will not be using this site ever again and am telling my co-workers not to either.

Great place for learning supplies for teachers and students. They often have promo discounts so look out for those! We enjoy coming here for their bi-weekly free events for kids. There's a monthly theme for the events. Additional to the free event activity, they also have multiple other activities going at the same time in case your kids don't want to do the specific featured event (such as a scavenger hunt to get a prize - a scented sheet stickers, coloring, or other hands on activities to theme). There are also so many toys the kids can play with around the store, my kids usually need some coercing to leave. Hah. Again, a great place to buy learning toys, books, arts & crafts items or just hang out and keep the kids busy.

They pointed me in the right direction when I was looking for age appropriate toys for my son. The store itself is very organized and it's easy to get around. There were so many options of toys and activities of all ages. Half of the store was also supplies and instruments for teachers. It was so fun to explore! I got my son a piano toy, a harmonica and a drill/screw toy. He loves them all! Forewarning, prices here are a little higher than what you would find near Amazon but they do have specials and sales. Plus you're supporting local! It was seriously so fun to take my son here and shop. I can't wait to return when he gets a little older to explore more of what they offer for older kiddos!
