We dropped of a purse for repair with they said that it would be ready in about 2 weeks. After a…read moremonth I stopped by to see what was the problem. I was dismissed with "we will text you when it was ready". About 4 days before Christmas I returned and was told that I've would try. Two weeks later I returned and asked for my money returned but they couldn't find the purse. One week later I was notified that the purse was ready. He returned half of the money that I paid.

In December 2025, I took my boots for a polish/shine. While talking with the owner, he encouraged…read moreme to have them resoled because of the condition. I agreed, paid for the service and was told they would be done when I returned to Columbia in January 2026. When I returned in January, I was told no one had started working on them. I explained that I travel for work and would be back in February and provided a specific date I would be back. The person I spoke with told me she would have them done the week before I came back to make sure they were ready. I arrived one day after I was told they would be ready. They were not done but the owner said they could be done for me by the following day. After 2 additional visits that same day and discussions with the owner with him telling me how they have over 4000 pairs of shoes they're working on and there was nothing he could do , I got my boots back. No communication from them over those two months. When you call them, they have a recorded message that basically says we cannot answer the phone because we are too busy and wait for a text that says your item is ready. Who runs a business like that? If you're too busy you have to either stop taking in work or give people real timelines. Communication is also key. Had anyone reached out and say hey, sorry, we're behind or can you wait a little longer, I might not have been so frustrated.

I've been coming to this place for several years now. They do alterations and shoe repair. I've…read morenever used them for any shoe repairs, but I've used them to hem my slacks and skirts. They've always done a good job for me. Also they've always had the altering done on the day and time that was promised. I noticed the last time I was there, that payment was due in advance. I guess they've gotten stiffed a number of times. I've been pleased with their work, and I'm sure I'll return the next time I need an alteration done.
