A Let Down. I was so excited to find this decor shop in…read moredowntown Kingston, as I prefer to shop locally instead of at big box stores. I found a great faux fiddle leaf tree and tried it out in the space I was looking to fill in my bedroom. After trying it here and several other locations I decided I wanted to return it. I called several times last week to try and make sure I would be able to return it, as this tree is about 6' tall and is very difficult to transport. I finally left a voicemail on their machine on Sunday. They got back to me on Monday saying I would need the receipt and in 15 days of purchasing. At the time I couldn't find the receipt, but went searching and found it. My boyfriend took the first part of the morning off work to help me transport it, as we both work until 6:00pm (when the store closes). When I brought it in the sale person said we also needed an additional receipt that had some 25 digit code on it. She showed us an example of one at the cash, which was stapled to the credit receipt. My receipt had no staple marks in it, and we inquired as to why mine may have not been stapled as well- also why I was not told about this particular receipt I needed. Mine says "Amanda's House of Elegance" on it and shows the price of the item. I don't think it was fair to turn us away. I must say, I was extremely disappointed in the service. This item was almost $300.00. I am clearly a potential customer that is willing to buy high end items. I would have expected better service and more willingness from the staff to satisfy the customer. Though I prefer to shop locally, I will not be returning to this store. I can't see how this business could ever compete with stores like Homesense (which has a 30 day return policy) or Pier 1 (which has a 45 day return policy) with no hassle and additionally has much more competitive pricing.

It was just…read moreabout closing time, so I didn't bother going in, but made a mental note to visit it the next time I was downtown! Space itself is deep and narrow. Jewelry ranges from costume to fine, as per another review cz to diamonds. Staff were around, asked if I needed any help, but I wished they had offered more info as to whether jewelry were from local artisans, where they get their stuff, etc. Other than aesthetics, not sure how stuff was organised. However, the costume jewelry was probably in the open, more accessible dressers whereas the silver/gold jewelry, esp. with diamonds, in the cases, at the back of the store. They have really nice pieces and I wished that I had more time to pick out a ring for myself!

The materials range from cubic zirconia to real diamonds. The piece I loved the most also happened to be one of the most expensive in the store (turns out it was white gold and diamonds). But was oh so pretty - may have to treat myself next time I come back to visit.

My only complaint would be that I was told I would receive an email as soon as it was delivered, and I didn't get one until later in the afternoon. In this case it didn't matter because I called my parents so I know it was delivered, but if I was counting on that email I would have been disappointed about the late delivery...

However, this isn't one of those stores where you leave with a huge haul every single time (like Value Village or Talize). They have a smaller selection and prices are a bit higher, so I tend to be picker when selecting items to buy here. The store is fairly well laid out, and I appreciate that the clothing is color coded (Talize does this as well, but Value Village does not). I also like that the price of the item decreases the longer it's on the sales floor, which is unique. I often think of consigning here, but to be honest after reading the rules on the website, it seems like it would be a bit of a hassle. For example, it says that they don't accept items over 2 years old. How on earth can they tell (besides the item being in poor condition)? One time when I inquired about consigning, they told me about all the "cheaper" brands that they don't accept...yet every time I go in, I see those brands! It's also strange that on the website it says that Danier is one of their best selling brands, yet they say they don't accept leather coats (yes I understand Danier doesn't JUST have leather jackets, but you get where I'm coming from). Also, this might just be me, but I wish the change rooms had actual doors and not just curtains. I don't know how many times a lady has just waltzed right into my change room while I'm changing! No etiquette it seems. All in all, a few minor inconveniences, but it's a store I will continue to visit once every couple of months to see what's new.

Mel Bozzo recommends David's Optical. 1m ·…read more Shared with Your friends I visited this store last week with with a pair of glasses where the arm had broken off. Not by the hinge, the actual arm itself. I just moved to the PEC area from Toronto and found out about Davids online. Before the move, I must have asked at least 5 optical shops in Toronto if they could help fix my frames. My lenses are quite expensive and were in great shape, relatively new, so I wanted to salvage them. It was one no after the other, most pushing for me to buy new glasses all together. I called Davids the same day I was going into Kingston and the opticians there managed to squeeze me without issue. As soon as I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. They were helping another customer fix the bridge of his glasses. This place is first class in service, and they offer repairs which is becoming more rare these days. This mother daughter optician duo not only fixed the two arms of my glasses , replacing the entire hinge and finding matching arms from a collection of parts they keep onsite to repair glasses, but they took an old frame of mine and within a week made me a new pair of lenses. I have a pretty strong prescription, it usually takes 2-3 weeks at the very least from the time of order. The can do attitude and customer service I received at Davids is truly hard to find in the retail landscape these days. I can totally trust and rely on these opticians with my vision needs. I am over the moon I stumbled on this rare retail gem. Its hard to find this type of service anymore with people who genuinely love their craft and want to help people see better, fairly and with good intention. If you need frames in the PEC, Bellville ,Kingston and surrounding area, seriously this is the place to go. Your eyes will smile!!!
