Sadly, for me, this shop did not live up to its lofty name. On the recommendation of a friend, I…read morewent in to Utopia to have them create a numerology chart for me. The first person who helped me, though friendly, knew very little about how to generate the numerology information. He spelled my name incorrectly and failed to include necessary details. Later that evening as I reviewed the printout that I had received in the shop, I realized it was inaccurate due to the misspelling and omissions. I emailed the store to ask about having the charts redone however I never received a reply. Next I returned to the store where a different employee assured me that she would do the chart correctly for me however was to to busy to do it right away. So I agreed that she could email me the results and/or print the corrected charts and mail them to me. Again, no response from Utopia. No email, no hard copy, nothing. So, I am out twenty dollars and I still don't have my numerology chart. For me, Utopia it was not.

I used them last year to make a basket as part of a company holiday raffle draw. Everyone was a…read morefoodie, therefore, they made a really good basket arrangement. Sadly I didn't win the basket, however, if I could and have the funds to splurge on myself over the holidays I would. They do have different sizes of baskets and different themes, however, most of their themes are food related. They do deliver in a reasonable time frame. Thankfully we ordered before the real holiday rush, therefore, there was no rush on either side for basket delivery and creation.

Not only are the prices high compared to other shops we later found, but if you aren't paying close attention your total could be an exorbitant amount above the actual marked prices. Unfortunately we were distracted, so although we found it odd that the store clerk was removing price tags as he rang them up, the total of our purchases seemed extremely high for what we bought, and they don't provide an itemized receipt - we didn't question it right away. Yes, I know - all red flags but in our defense the assoc was good at deflection & we were also in a hurry so it didn't hit us until too late. When I calculated what the total should have been versus what I paid, I was disgusted & frankly embarrassed for falling for such a scam. Hope I can help others from making the same mistake.

While there is a nice variety of items available and many at decent prices (some are not, so choose carefully), I was disappointed in the staff as they were more focused on stocking items than interacting with customers, and sometimes seemed bothered by our physical presence. That being said we did get most of the items that were on our list at a good price and without a lot of hassle.

Never really noticed this place before but leave it up to our daughter to take notice of any place…read morethat's selling rocks! There was an area right by the front door that had a deal where you could take a small bag and fill it with as many rocks as you like for $7. Ok...they didn't use the word rocks. It was called the Coastal Crystals Pebble Patch. So I suppose these were pebbles and not rocks. What is a pebble? A smooth stone...a rock fragment. So...related to rocks but I suppose the technical term pebble sounds more refined. But I digress! I'm not a rock person myself although I probably did appreciate them more back in my younger days. While I'm not a rock person, I do have to admit, there were some beautiful pebbles at this shop and I enjoyed rummaging through the pile of pebbles to help my daughter fill her bag. Some of the pile weren't even pebbles. Some of them were crystals. There was a sign that said "There are over 15 types of authentic crystals and minerals waiting to be found!" Stepping inside the store was fun too. They really do have some gorgeous crystals in this store. If you're someone who's into beautiful pebbles and crystals then I highly recommend this place!

This is one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a business. My teenaged son - the absolute…read moresweetheart - spent most of his savings to order flowers to be delivered on my birthday. The order form did state my birthday correctly. There was a knock at my door mid-morning a few days before my birthday. I didn't get to the door in time, but when I opened it, a flower arrangement was on my doorstep, with a birthday message for me from my wonderful son. The problem was...it wasn't my birthday. It was several days before my birthday. It was very awkward and disappointing for my son who had tried so hard to make this an amazingly special occasion - he spent money and time and effort researching florists, deciding on the arrangement and placing the order. It was a big deal to him and he dreamed of how special it would be for me. But it wasn't special - it was really awkward and disappointing. When I contacted Posy a few days later, they said I was mistaken and the flowers were delivered on my birthday. I reiterated again that no, I was quite certain that they arrived BEFORE the planned delivery date of my birthday. They said I was wrong. I would never EVER shop here again. They messed up the deliver date, broke my son's heart, put me in a very awkward position with my son, and called me a liar...twice. I wasn't even asking for compensation - I just contacted them to let them know and find out what happened. I'm so amazed and appalled at this horrible customer experience that I feel compelled to write this review.

While I struck out in that department, I did leave with a beautiful vintage clutch with a peacock feather beaded across the front. I got many compliments on it all night and it was a steal at only $35. Wonderful mixture of feathered accessories, vintage shoes, dresses and skirts as well as cute, affordable new pieces that won't run you the risk of accidentally matching your friends (an Aritzia-esque hazard). Plus: the lovely saleswoman heroically tried to zip me up into a little vintage (think Mad Men) frock. It couldn't be done, but she tried and didn't make me feel badly for not fitting into it.

She said she would take it and…read moreto come back in six weeks to see if it had sold, as she was going to switch to autumn clothes then. I asked if I should be signing a contract and she said no. That should have been a red flag for me right there. But instead I gave her my business card and the dress and left the store, not feeling right about it. I went back in six weeks, and she didn't know what I was talking about, and said she wouldn't have taken any clothes without me signing a contract. She finally found my name written in her book, but had no idea where the dress was or even if she had it. She told me to come back in a week. I came back and she still said she didn't know anything about it. I described the dress in detail, but she was just very curt with me. Wendy took my phone number again, and said she would call me when she found it. Well, of course she never called me. I never got my $250 dress back nor did I get paid for it. I felt I couldn't push it as there was no contract and she kept denying she had the dress. I have learned from that - always get it in writing, but I feel as though she stole my dress from me. I would never bring anything there on consignment again and would warn anyone who wants to bring anything there. I won't even shop there again, as she is unprofessional, disrespectful, and rude.
