We had an excellent experience with Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of DC Metro. We were having an…read moreissue with our patio and retaining wall lighting system, and Rico did an incredible job troubleshooting and repairing the problem. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and communicated well throughout the entire process. Although he was running behind schedule, he kept us informed, which was greatly appreciated. For anyone concerned about arrival times, I would encourage you to be patient and give them some grace. Not every project is cut and dry, and Rico never knows what he may encounter when he arrives at a job. Some projects take longer than expected because he takes the time to properly diagnose and fix the issue rather than rushing through it. What impressed us most was Rico's dedication to getting the job done right. He did not leave until the problem was fully resolved and the project was completed. His attention to detail, persistence, and commitment to customer satisfaction were outstanding. Thank you to Rico and the entire team for providing exceptional service. Huge shout out also to Conrad for quick communication and frequent updates. We highly recommend Outdoor Lighting Perspectives and would gladly use them again in the future.

Though he had plenty of time to do so, he did not give us any kind of heads up he would be late until I called numerous times and emailed the owner. At that point (30 minutes late), he told us he was still an hour away. When I mentioned to the owner, Conrad, that we understand these things happen but the lack of communication created a lot of inconvenience for us, the response was very snippy and unprofessional. Additionally, he tried to convince me of an untrue version of events, which was such weird way to handle the situation. I expect he will respond to this review in a similar manner. I would not recommend this company. They are rude, overpriced, and definitely consider their time to be more valuable than yours.

This was after many emails because there is no customer service to call. They only offered free shipping, but ok. Then the base I ordered didn't arrive. They wouldn't have mentioned that it was out of stock of course, but I had to ask my 81 year old mom to send me a picture. They then offered to send me another bouquet and the vase on Wednesday. I said to please just give me a refund....and they refunded me for the vase. I suggested they make this right by offering me a bigger refund, and haven't heard back. I have not had this horrible of an experience with any other flower delivery EVER!

I called today to check on the status of flowers for my mother. Given some prior issues, I wanted to be sure that nothing happened and the order would be delivered. You'd have thought I asked them to cross the Red Sea. As I expected, the order had missing items and I called back. Instead of listening to me, the person was too busy talking over me. I asked to speak to a manager and instead of connecting me they tried to blow me off by suggesting that I write an email. In the recent few years, there have just been too many issues. Time to find a new florist.

Within the deceptively large space there is an expansive selection of everything from specialty fountain pens, papers, notebooks, stickers, inks, custom journals, cards, letters, trinkets, and all sorts of other stationary related items. Not just everyday run of the mill items either, rare, hard to find, and ultra premium items as well. The kind of items that are almost never seen in brick and mortar stores, at least here in the states, stuff that typically requires either visiting multiple specialty shops or niche online stores, or frankly even importing some of it. It was just truly incredible to see the pure variety of all they had available. On top of this, the service was friendly and efficient with knowledgeable staff helping out. The space was clean, well organized, and inviting. Prices were fair too, not cheap but no crazy markups on the items available either, after all much of the items are premium goods and as such they will have similar pricing no matter where you get them. Fantastic for shopping for yourself or for gifting, I would highly recommend and will absolutely be returning myself, absolutely elated by the fact a shop like this even exists!

But the customer service and the quality of the tree are what will have me signing up again in the future. It was really easy to order online: choose your delivery date and your size of tree, and--based on availability--you can also get them to pick it up/haul it away. They called the day before delivery to confirm a specific delivery window, and the guys who delivered my tree couldn't have been more professional and detail-oriented: they made sure it was turned just the direction I wanted to get the best "side," and they gave me careful instructions about how to water and care fore the tree. Even though I'm sure it was a busy day for them, they didn't rush at all and clearly took pride in their work. Everyone who saw the Frasier Fir was very impressed by how full and even it was. Definitely recommend!
