Poor Customer Service…read more A family member purchased a toy for my toddler, but it turned out to be unsuitable. When I approached the staff for a return or exchange, one worker was helpful (but she had to ask the other ones opinion) while another was rude and uncooperative. She dismissed my request without even listening or looking at me, citing an open box as the reason for denial. Even though all the components of the item and its packaging inside were still wrapped, sealed, and untouched. An issue or return matter truly reveals the true colors of a business's customer service, as exemplified by the above described actions. I expected better treatment at a kids store and a willingness to resolve issues. Due to this experience, I will not be returning.

Megna Mindz in Hicksville NY. off of Old Country Road, has a good selection of items including but…read morenot limited to custom named items as books for children. I have found the girl who works there to be sweet and helpful for suggestions of products they sell being age appropriate. I also like the fact that they do wrap the items in a choice of wrapping papers and ribbons as well as give gift receipts. This makes it so much easier in a bag and ready to go. Ive found the retail cost compatible to the few other similar places that I have visited. Tip: Dont bother to call. They Never answer the phone, should I have a question better to just go in person, as Idid today only to find that they didn't have the item that I was looking for. They do not open until 11 AM. Ok so toys and what not are not a must have at 9 am - most times anyway. I do not recall them having much if any card selections. True there are many places around to buy cards. Again a 1 stop shop to grab a birthday card at the front counter of the store is helpful though perhaps not business cost efficient. Easy corner location, angle parking access and well lite, its my first choice of places to go for gifts. Tip: check on line for things that you might be looking for and then, shop in store for things directly available.

Unfortunately that night it ran out and the worker couldn't change the laminating Supply but it's definitely good to know that I can come back and get them done for free.

You work in a kids store you have to be able to deal with it, and dont get me started on the Needoh Drops they do, obsivesly they have alot just post we have them and call it a day, today the parking lot was a mad house, people almst getting hit by cars, people all over the place, complete circus, people were coming out with them before 3:30, lione didnt move. Horrible customer service, would not recommend.

Sometimes I really don't wanna review the places that I want to keep secret to myself! About once a…read moremonth I visit retro games to see if they have any new stock on DVDs, blue rays, VHS. They have a really good selection. I have found some amazing movies from nostalgia and I don't even have a VHS or a Blu-ray player and I will buy the movie anyway! Because I have a collection addiction. they often have a decent crowd looking for video games. they also have some toys like Barbies and I think I saw my little ponies as well. They are located on the upper floor of what I believe is the Tri-County mall? Which is a nostalgic site to see all on its own so dedicate some time if you want to trip down memory lane.

Went here with family around an hour before they were supposed to close. Unfortunately the owner…read morewas there and decided to close early. He could not have been more nasty and rude. Muttering under his breath about customers while they're in the store. Between myself and my family just last week dropped $100.00 Never again will I go there. There's no reason anyone should go there only to be spoken to by anyone. Stay far away from this place.
