Holy Ground is the best sneaker resell shop right now in 2026. Prices are fair. They have excellent…read morecustomer service. And their offers are fair in today's market. The best thing with Holy Ground is they offer cash and store credit for all their offers. That's key in this market right now if you're selling sneakers. A lot of shops nowadays offer just store credit but feel that's unfair. If I'm going to sell at your store I'm there to sell not get credit to buy more shoes. Give me the two options. It's always a great experience at the store. Great staff, great prices on shoes to buy, and fair offers on what you're selling. I highly recommend going here to buy or sell.

It's a drive for me cause I live in LA but I don't mind making it since these dudes are always so chill and give great service. Will you maximize what you can get for your shoes if selling? Probably not but they're fair and don't whack you over the head and are flexible if necessary. I felt good every time I've sold them shoes Thanks again guys, appreciate yall!

For years, I found Nordstrom Rack overwhelming because of its size and selection. This time, I went…read morein with a strategy: I focused only on tops and shopped only the XS section, working my way through one rack at a time. In about an hour, I pulled around 18 pieces to try on and found several great additions to my summer wardrobe while staying within my budget. The only frustration was that many items in the XS section were mixed with M, L, and other sizes, making it a little harder to shop efficiently. The associates at the register were friendly and professional, and they listened when I shared feedback about the loud music in the fitting rooms. Overall, I'm glad I finally found a shopping method that works for me. What used to feel intimidating now feels manageable, and I left with some wonderful pieces for my summer wardrobe.

Very disappointing online pickup experience…read more I went to the Brea Nordstrom Rack on Sunday, August 9 around 1:30 p.m. to pick up an online order. As you walked in, there are two signs advertising "Buy online for fast and easy pickups." Unfortunately, my experience was anything but fast or easy. I asked a cashier where to go for online pickup, and she directed me to a checkout line that extended all the way to the back of the store and appeared to have at least 75 people waiting, most of whom were making regular in-store purchases. I got in line, but remembered that on previous visits there had been an employee specifically handling online pickups. I decided to ask another cashier if someone was handling online orders. She was very kind and understanding and said she would ask the manager, Cynthia. I explained that I was frustrated about having to wait in such a long line just to pick up an order I had already purchased online. I was told I would still need to wait in line because Cynthia would go through the queue and process online orders in order. I said that was completely fine and I returned to the line. I was the second person in line who was there solely for an online pickup. Cynthia left to the back of the store to retrieve our orders. About 10 minutes later, I noticed that she had returned to the register assisting customers in line, yet had both of our online orders sitting in a basket behind her. This is where the experience became especially frustrating. Cynthia walked right past us on her way back to the registers but left us standing in the long checkout line, even though she had already retrieved our orders. I eventually had to ask another employee to get my order so I could leave. Only then did Cynthia take the other customer's order to her, after that customer had also been left waiting in line. I completely understand that stores get busy and employees have a lot to manage. What I don't understand is why customers who had already paid for their orders online were left standing in a huge checkout line when our orders had already been retrieved and were literally sitting behind the register. The cashier who initially helped me was kind and professional, and I appreciate her trying to help. My frustration is specifically with how the manager handled the situation. If Nordstrom Rack advertises "fast and easy pickups," I think customers should reasonably expect an online pickup to be handled differently from a regular purchase checkout. This was neither fast nor easy, and the way the manager handled it made the situation much more frustrating than it needed to be.

I wandered around thinking nothing was calling my name...until BAM! the Dainty Mary Jane Converse caught my eye! Total love at first sight moment! Sadly they only had a size 9 and I'm a size 9.5 girlie. I tried the size 9 but there wasn't enough for any wiggle room! Even my toes said "Girl, absolutely not!" I asked the friendly and helpful staff member for a 9.5 or a 10 however this particular shoe only run in full sizes. They didn't find any in stock but he found them on their online website and offered to order them for me and the price was the same sale price! I was excited! And then it gets better! I saw online they had another color and I asked that I wanted to order the other pair too! The price was also on sale! SCORE! I asked the kind staff member to ship the merch to the store since my apartment building is always locked and it's such a stressful situation to try to catch the delivery person, it's almost an Olympic sport! Meanwhile I spotted a cute brown pair of New Balance sneakers but I didn't see them in my size. I searched high, low, left, right and NOTHING! I asked one of the kind and friendly staff members if somehow he might find a pair in my size! Then suddenly he shows up with a pair in my size like he pulled them out of a hidden shoe portal! I don't know how he did it but I wasn't questioning the process! While trying on the NB sneakers the same staff member brought me a pair of cream colored Brooks sneakers in my size! He told me they're close as it gets to the Hoka sneakers in terms of comfort and quality. And honestly he wasn't lying , they felt amazing! Even my husband caught the shoe buying bug that he got a pair of Crocs! He totally love them! Did I buy more shoes than I needed? Absolutely! Do I regret it? NAH! Not even a little! Great prices, amazing shoes, and customer service worthy of a standing ovation! I'll definitely come back for more "I'm just browsing" moments that somehow turns into a full blown shopping spree!

Anthony was the associate who initially helped me, and he was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. He properly sized me for a pair of Red Wing work boots and took the time to explain the different options available based on the type of work I do. He made thoughtful recommendations and ultimately helped me find a pair that I absolutely love. It was clear that he genuinely wanted to make sure I left with the right boots, not just make a sale. Elijah also assisted me during my visit and was equally kind, professional, and helpful. Both of them made me feel welcome and valued as a customer. What made this experience stand out even more was that I had previously visited the Anaheim location and unfortunately received little to no customer service. The difference between the two stores was night and day. Anthony and Elijah are a fantastic reflection of what great customer service should look like, and they represent the Red Wing brand exceptionally well. Thank you both for your help.

Not much has changed over the years, except now my daughters thinks that I'm too old to wear some of the tops, dresses, and jewelry. It's hilarious when I see a cute sweater and I get those "'Mom, not for you!" comments. AE at Brea Mall is very clean and organized. Love they always have a huge area for their clearance items. Their clothes are of great quality - for example, I was able to pass on some old jean skirts and sweaters I bought over 10-15+ years ago to my 15 year old daughter. So, some may think their items may be overpriced but you get what you pay for. Not greeted by any Staff during my entire visit despite non of them were busy since we came right when they opened and pretty much their first and few customers. A 6/10 for AE in Brea.

My order shipped quickly, the quality was exactly what I remembered, and what really stood out was their incredible customer service.
