Was surprised to not see any reviews for this place!…read more At first I wasn't sure what to expect but honestly even though it says Consignment for Dudes, I saw plenty of items I would love for myself and others. There was such a nice variety and arrangement of decor and accessories in the first half of the store and plenty of clothes in the second half. The staff was welcoming and made it very easy to browse with no pressure. I would recommend if you're in the area, I think there's something for everyone in here and pricing was very much fair!

Their website clearly…read morestates that furniture and large items should be emailed ahead of time for approval, so I followed those instructions exactly. I emailed Jes with multiple pictures of a storage cabinet and end table - both in very nice condition - and asked, "do you take pieces like this?" Her response was a simple "yes." Based on that confirmation, my husband and I went through the trouble of getting a trailer, loading the items, and even taking time off work to deliver them. However, when we arrived, Jes refused to accept the pieces. When my husband showed her the email where she had said "yes," she claimed that she didn't mean "yes" she would take those exact items. When pressed, she admitted she "probably should have been more clear." This was extremely unprofessional and a complete waste of our time, effort, and money. To make matters worse, she also complained that our trailer was blocking her alleyway, despite the fact that we were there because of her prior approval, and had pulled the trailer over far enough that cars could get by. Clear communication, respect and accountability are basic expectations in any business, and this experience fell far short. I will never be returning and would caution others to think twice before relying on their process.

I purchased 3…read moresmall leather purses and specifically asked and received permission to return them by a date beyond the usual return date. Upon my return of the purses within the allotted time, the clerk gave me a hand written receipt showing the purses were returned and also showing my purchase that day of a pair of shoes. The returned purses were to be credited against the shoe purchase. By mistake the clerk charged me again for the returned purses as well as for the new shoe purchase. A few months later when I realized what the clerk had done, I brought the handwritten receipt into the store, and a copy of my credit card bill. I explained the lack of credit for the purses and that they had been again charged to me a second time. The manager that day accused me of stealing the purses and shoes despite my showing the handwritten receipt from their store signed by their clerk and my charge card statement. The manager refused to give me my $300 plus, or a credit or the purses back. The returned three purses were all visible in the store that day. When I talked with the owner she lied and said she had no way of checking her inventory to see whether or when the purses were returned. So she too refused to refund my $300 plus, give me a credit or give me back the purses. The owner also said since I had not brought this to her attention earlier, even if I was telling her the truth, she would not give me back my money, a credit or the purses. Even a year later I noted the store still had two of the purses for sale which I had returned. The clerk told me they had only originally ordered one of each purse and these were from the original order not reordered by the store. That is these two purses were the ones I had returned which the owner said she had no way of tracing. LIES AND FRAUD were all this store was good for.

I went back about 20 minutes later and they had already gone through my items and packed up a few things that they couldn't take. They ended up offering me almost $170 for the items they could accept, and I was ecstatic. It seems like they must get new items pretty often because the inventory always seems refreshed when I go in. I love this store.

Each time I have left annoyed by the attitude, always finishing conversations and gossip with coworkers before acknowledging a customer. No greeting when walking in, and they make you feel like you're bothering them by coming in. Not to mention the lack of clothing that they'll take. I have been using Plato's all over Iowa i for a very long time so I know the "rules" on what they will or won't take and pack my drop off accordingly. The Rochester location recently offered me $16 for 3 agree People items. One sweatshirt worn once, a brand new never worn pair of leggings, and a fleece 1/4 zip. I ended up taking all my items back and declining that payout as it was a total joke. I took these same drop off bags to another location where they took nearly everything for $200+. I won't be going back... ever. I'd rather store the clothing while I wait for Poshmark orders to come in, which says a lot as I can't stand keeping it piled up in the house.

That's when I went down the Minnesota Treads, aka MN Treads on their storefront, rabbit hole. Have you ever stepped on a thermal sensor? Obviously not this guy. I then went down the path of plantar fasciitis(I'm a survivor) 101 and learning that what I've been shopping for in a shoe may be incorrect. I tried on some types and ended up walking out of there with a brand new pair of Topos. And guess what? I'm a size 10! Wow! Getting that comfort in the heal but also that added lift in the arch part of my foot is a game changer. Plus I got a pair of a socks from Adam Turman. Honestly a pretty awesome store.

My love for Macy's happened years after I had left living in Rochester. I like that there are always sales going on. Macy's ignited my love for Style & Co. clothing and Kipling handbags. I decided to check out this Macy's. I had never been since it became one. The women's washroom has a couch when you first walk in, which looked classy. The washrooms need better maintenance, though. The stall that I was in was great. I can't say the same about the one next to it. I liked the sale happening on ugly Christmas sweaters. 70% off them is a great deal if you plan on wearing it to the company Christmas party and winning the ugly sweater competition. There are a number of them that will get you that crown or tiara. I loved hitting the Kipling handbag section. It had heavily reduced items. I also saw a bit of a shift with its signature monkey, from the fuzzy one on each back, to silver ones. The fuzzy ones are iconic and cute. The silver ones are definitely easier to clean and maintain. I didn't buy anything, but I loved looking at merchandise that I like, including jewellery. I'd come back and hope that they do something about the washrooms. (25)

Stopped in to do a little retail therapy But the store was closed early, by 6pm. No sign on the door, explaining why. The business hour sign clearly stated 7pm. I live out of town and shop there when I can because they carry such a wide variety of styles and size. Even when I can't find something for myself I usually find something for a family member. I could see ladies working inside so I waited outside for someone to tell me what was going on. When the staff member finally opened the door she stated they were closed for Fall Reveal. When I suggested having a sign on the door to alert customers that the store was closed early she simply said IT'S POSTED, with a scowl and an eye roll, the pulled the door shut. The Fall Reveal is indeed posted on the FB page, with no mention of the store closing early. Completely missed an opportunity to educate this shopper about tomorrows launch and invite me back to find some great deals. read more
