Over the last few months I brought in many things to consign. Beware of the contract that you have to sign, they don't ever keep in touch with you and now say that they own all of the clothes that I brought in and only owe $17.50. Beware!!!!

Not impressed one bit…read more... I looked into this business as a local option over driving 30+ minutes to the nearest Goodwill. I called the day before as the only web listing to this business was through Facebook. The answering machine gave me a fast idea of hours. I finaly came across a web site though Facebook. Well the answering machine and website had different hours. I ended up messaging them through Facebook to clairify the hours. Following morning I got there some twenty minutes after they were suppose to open. CLOSED. No note on the door about running late just CLOSED. I messaged them again... here some 6hours later no reply back. Not impressed. The only reason I can see for not opening when listed, is they must have really high prices to afford not to open one advertised. Parking is not the easiest. It is at a busy intersection with on street parking. I highly recommend making the drive to some big name store where you know they will be open and not hold hours of convenience.

Lois Hillock, of New Ipswich, was the owner. She closed up shop with literally TWO DAYS notice. I…read morehad two days to pick up the clothes I'd consigned there. Of course, their phone was disconnected & on the voice mail they left for me they didn't bother telling me what hours they would be there, so I had to pop by several different times until I finally lucked out & they were there. They never bothered to put up a sign on the door saying when they would be there, either. When I did finally get there, I pulled in just as they were pulling in. They told me to park around back on the voice mail that they left & knock on the back door to pick up my clothes. So I parked, taking up ONE of the TWO empty spaces that were open. I looked at Lois who was still sitting in her car, & she mouthed that she had to park too. I pointed to the EMPTY parking spot next to me. She angrily pulled in, muttering as she passed me that SHE had to park too. I ignored her. Well she parked didn't she?? There were two spots for two cars. The math works in my head! She handed me two bags of clothes. What, so I'm just supposed to take her word for it that she is honest enough to give me back ALL of my clothes & not take whatever she liked for her own grandchildren? I say that because they would regularly pay me up front for clothes that they liked for their grandchildren so those transactions weren't on the books. I'm just supposed to trust that they weren't like, "Well we're closing anyway, just take what you want & give her the rest." No apology for the short notice. No explanation. I asked her for my check because as long as I've been consigning there (YEARS) I'd never collected a check & I've consigned HUNDREDS of items there over the years. She claimed that her books were not balanced but that she hoped to get them balanced in a few weeks & then she would mail a check. Yeah right. "The checks in the mail." I left knowing full well I was never going to see the money I was due. I have since tried contacting Lois Hillock to get my check with no luck. I was told that November 1st (2012) was the LATEST the checks would get mailed. EIGHT MONTHS later & I've tried contacting her & still no check... Lois Hillock is a dishonest business owner. She closed up shop, didn't pay her bills (their phone line was regularly disconnected) & Belletete's owns the building & they told me that she still owes them rent, as well, & didn't pay her LOYAL consignors! It's not our fault that she was a lousy business owner... I would stay far, far away from her, both personally & professionally.

This visit did not disappoint. The store and the inventory is absolutely beautiful, however, it's the quality of the people who stand behind the counters that sparkle. The staff in Bellmans are the real gems. They are friendly and professional without being insistent. I wish there was a Bellmans in Naples! Maybe one day!? Love this store!

I got to try on a bunch of different bands and see probably 10 different variations of custom designs digitally as well as try on 2 wax molds before picking my ring to make sure it was perfect. When I finally got to see the ring in person, it was even better than i'd been picturing in my head! I'm so happy with it and our experience with Bellman's, we'll definitely be back for wedding bands!
