Very much a "Nickel & Dime" play on customers as they should know better that their sizing is not even close to Peter Millar, Imperial, Smathers & Branson, etc...Truly an unfortunate experience to be penalized for their poor QC. Will not purchase again despite being hopeful to support a US business out of Maine.

I think if the choice is between Walmart in Scarborough and Walmart in Falmouth, I'd rather go to…read morethe Scarborough one. It seems physically bigger (with wider aisles), like there's more options (if you've never perused their plant-based selection in the freezers... wow!), and in general it's just easier to navigate (the layout of the store and the parking lot). 1. This Walmart's parking lot is terrible. The entrance/exit is confusing, and people just drive through the spaces like it's an open field. Be careful friends! 2. You can't access the garden center from the outside, you need to go all the way inside, then carry all your plants back to the front to cash out. 3. They don't have tap to pay, so if you don't have your physical card with you... SOL, babe. 4. The store could use a deep clean. 5. The self check out kiosks are the worst (the employees guarding them are also super unfriendly). There's like eight of them and every single time I come, maaaaaaybe half are operational. They're clunky and slow. Don't get in line for this, the line with the actual cashier always moves faster.

For such a large store, with as many workers as they have; They have no respect for their customers when it comes to providing ANY customer service.

But with the inconvenience I have experienced with them, I would rather go out of my way to give my money and service to a store that respects their customers time and money. I didn't expect much Walmart, just for someone to answer the multiple phone calls you've been getting all morning.... Please don't shop at this store. They don't deserve your money.

Their brands are on point (I saw some Marc Jacobs, Opening Ceremony, All Saints, Coach, Frye) and they have a good variety for every lady! They mostly sell contemporary styles. They have a giant wall FULL of tops. There was a slim dress selection but I'm a big dress fan myself. Their staff was very friendly and the store was kept immaculate. Given the selection and price, I'll definitely be back. Forget Me Nots has everything I loved about the Newbury Street Second Time Around, that the Second Time Around in Portland is lacking.

I asked them about it and was rudely told they authenticated it but it didn't have stamp, serial number, and it was falling apart. The sale section is solid but everything else is so overpriced. I hate leaving bad reviews but just not a fun place.

I didn't think I'd be leaving Maine with a brand new pair of beautifullllll clogs but I am so happy…read morethat I am! My plan for Portland was wander, eat, sip and wander some more. But this wonderful shop with wooden clogs lining the windows was too cute to pass up without a walk through. Especially since I had commented TWICE that day already on other people's cute clogs and how I really wanted a good pair. I took it as a sign. One side of the shop is the store, the other their workshop, and the entire space smells like leather. The woman working that day, who I would guess was the owner, was kind and patient and got me a few different pairs to try on. I left before buying to debate if I wanted to spend a bit of $ on a pair and also needed to decide on a color (brown or black). Well, after a drink at a nearby brewery, I returned and bought my great new pair of shoes. They are comfy and cute and came in a great little cloth tote bag I've used quite a few times already. All and all a great purchase, and a shop I highly recommend for shoes and all things leather!

I wandered Congress St. aimlessly while passing through Portland, Maine and popped into this cute…read moreleather goods store. A had a chat with the very friendly person working there (the owner maybe) and then noticed a dreamy leather tote, just the right light brownish red that kind of matches my hair. It was an ok price for a thick leather, well built tote, although more than I had planned to spend that day. I couldn't resist. Now 3 years later I'm still using the tote and get compliments all of the time. Right now I'm building a smallish house and find myself throwing saw blades, pints of paint, and other items I pick up at the store into it. Not normally what one should do with a nice purse, but the purse is unphased. It gets more of a worn in look, but it's even more lovely as such.

*I hope the manager reads these reviews*…read more I cannot imagine we will be visiting again. After 3 years of lots of grace and patience with THEIR customer service, I cannot see a reason to continue to give them slack on this front. It's their job. I do not need to support a business that doesn't care well for the customers or kids. Later Lots for Tots. Hope you have a workplace revival and pull the stick out of you bums. You're missing out on a great opportunity to be a fun place. Bummer for you. Often grumpy customers leave poor reviews without giving it time. Well I'll tell you what, I have been visiting this location for 3 years. Selling and buying. Unfortunately, I have yet to have a resounding positive experience even once. Customer service: as a kids store, I expect it to be kid friendly and friendly in general. Unfortunately no. Maybe they hire people with RBF but woof walking in feels like a glare fest- very unwelcoming. And if there are kids with you- forget about it. Cold shoulder. I thought the reviews were exaggerating on this- nope. Not one bit. I don't know one mom who feels comfortable and welcome to bring her kids in there- to a kids resale store! YIKES. Despite this I 9/10 times have brought my kids in- I'm the kind paying customer with well behaved kids. I don't walk in there and feel like I want to buy anything bc of how disturbed the environment feels. Selling: it's like they're mad you're there bringing them product for them to make money off of. It's alarming how displeased the women are every single time I've dropped anything off- mind you before even reviewing my loot. And asking for a timeframe for when the review will be done has ALWAYS been answered with a condescending scowl and "oh I don't know, at least an hour oh and you have to pick it up by 6pm." I have dropped a few loads that I made a decent amount on, but always felt robbed at the dollar amount I received. Recently, I brought 5 bags of clothes and they found one item they wanted. I cannot imagine they looked through all the pieces. I am absolutely certain there was more than ONE item "worthy of their standards" in the bags. Absolutely certain. Buying: The clothes are WAY over priced. Past season, worn Old Navy is listed for the original new prices- maybe 50 cents off. Many items are pilling. Many. I have yet to find more than 1 or 2 boys items worth buying after repeated visits- 2 years looking for boys clothes. I've found things hung for sale with stains and holes and pilling. Did I mention how over priced the clothes are?? Later Lots for Tots. Won't be missing you.

More often though after some decisions at home bring some donated goods here that we no longer want. The drop off process is always quick and smooth. Inside you will find quite a spacious store with things organized and typically quite clean. The largest majority of things here is definitely clothing. A lot of the stuff clothes and otherwise are priced cheaper than most other places. We have found some good things worth buying but overall it does seem like a lot of junk ends up on the shelves. If you dedicate the time and really dig deep into the clothes and check every item maybe you'll find that hidden gem. Overall this particular Goodwill is middle of the road for me compared to others. Worth checking out for those interested in thrifting or who need to buy some things on the cheaper side of prices.
