The drop-off process at Airtime was super easy--basically laid the wing out on the floor so they could take a look at it, and they quoted me $120 to do all the various canopy repairs i needed & then took down my information. I got a email confirmation with all the details of my work-order, and then a couple days later got an email telling me to come pick up the wing. Repairs look to be carefully & skillfully done, and the wing works great! I know they'll try to match colors if that's what you're after, but i basically asked them to make it distinctive. The guy checking me out called it the wabi-sabi treatment. All around great experience (other than the damage that necessitated the visit, obviously) -- thanks Airtime folks!

Glass is also cheap and good quality. All around a solid place. Having worked in the cannabis industry both as a dispensary and a grow, one of the most challenging aspects of running a shop is keeping high quality fresh flower consistently in stock. Cannabis is a seasonal crop and what is available to sell in the store is dependent on lots of factors like where we are at the growing cycle, what farmers are growing and how much demand there is. Especially as a smaller store selling their own flower there will naturally be times when they have more or less flower in specific strains simply due to the supply and demand chains of cannabis. Still from my impression of going to this store every day for a week they do a good job of keeping high quality product in stock across the board and also provide excellent product knowledge and customer service. Would definitely recommend this shop!

I'm tired of getting old house brands pushed on me for pre-rolls, when I ask the staff for…read more"something fresh" in pre-rolls. No less than 5 times in the last year have I gone in and asked what is good, and for something fresh in pre-rolls, the first 2 times stating exactly that, the last 3 times I have specifically told the bud-tender, "no older than 6 months". With my wife and my dog as my witness last night, I said those words and went off the bud-tender's recommendation. What did I get? Two house brand (Frontier Farms) joints recommended by the bud-tender as "fresh" that were 10 and 13 months old. I don't know if there is a locals handshake you need to give to make them listen to you or what, but the last 5 times I have said the aforementioned words, I have come away with some or all of the pre-rolls I purchased that were house brands at almost a year old, with my most recent purchase being over a year old. Yes, it's my fault for not being a condescending dick and saying, "read the harvest date to me" when they pull it out of the case, but I shouldn't have to if I've already told them "no older than 6 months". In the case last night, 12/1, my wife will back me up that the bud-tender said, "oh yeah, the Sweeties are super fresh." As you will see in the picture, it was not, and it was recognized as being old as soon as I lit up and took the first harsh drag; I then looked at the date of harvest. I get it, I don't stop in often or spend a lot of cash when I am there, but it is convenient and I enjoy the soda selection, not to mention, the staff is always friendly, but all they want to do is push old weed that is their own "house brand" on people. I know it can be tough to run a business from growing to retail with scale being the hardest balance, but pushing your own stale weed that your ag side of the business over grew does not help your retail side a year later in gaining/maintaining return customers. Flush that old crap and start anew, or sell it to the tourists in the summer, not the locals who specifically ask for better. I'll go to Evergreen from now on.
