As I'm getting over my shock she comes back without the ladder and go what do you want. Nothing now!!! What! My little girl is with me and she's on her way to this party breathe! I look around and see at check out an older woman and man walked over asked for a gift for my daughter's friend age. The couple was so helpful and lovely and that's the only reason I'm giving a star. I downloaded yelp just to write this review so that should tell you something! Got the gift paid the older lady and she goes go to balloons they will wrap. Who is at balloons? Ms Nasty Attitude yes I've named her in my head. Took 10 plus minutes with attitude to wrap this little gift. I just wanted to get out of there. Then my daughter go O I don't think she's having a good day she's not very nice.

Recently on a Saturday , I realized I didn't bring the cards I already purchased for my dad for Father's Day with me. I was staying over the night before Father's Day.

Most recently while purchasing (close to 100 dollars worth) of cards here, I said, "I was really bummed when Papyrus closed all of their physical stores," without realizing this Paper Source is in a previous Papyrus location. While the sentiment holds true--I do miss Papyrus--this is the best Paper Source location I have found--PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE GRAND CENTRAL LOCATION! I am a big card and letter writer. It's hard for me to find colorful and unique cards, even online. Within the last couple of months, other card/hallmark/paper source stores have fallen short. This store--while you may have to contend with crowding during the busiest hours--is worthwhile. I came in around 7 PM (after rush hour, while they close at 8 PM). I had to scoot around a few other patrons, but wasn't overly crowded, and had so much to choose from. This is NOT the same as online. I live in Kentucky and work in New York. I've googled. I've ordered online. Buying here, in person, is not the same. I was able to find a very unique insomnia card for a friend. A deceased pet card for my mother-in-law. And a card for a friend, joking about how we can never seem to get together because of adulting schedules, and a very funny card for a friend who, like me, doesn't care for mornings. I also found some very vibrant, sexy, moody note cards for every day notes and letters. This shoppe isn't ginormous, but it packs a punch. And the employees are very nice. Yes, the cards are expensive by regular "cookie cutter" card standards, but all of the really special cards are. This is an awesome spot. I'll stop by every single time I have a train coming through, and I'm sure I'll always be enthralled.

I discovered that they were sold at Papersource, so I went to a million paper sources in the city and landed on this one on the upper east side. This location is much smaller than some of the other locations, which means that there isn't as much merch as other ones, especially the cool papers. However, I was able to find a baguette jellycat and they had 3 of them so yay to that. There was a creepy guy walking around the store - I think he worked there, I don't know when retailers will learn we don't wanna be bothered while in store, we will come to you when we need help. Overall it is a good store for cute small gifts for someone or for yourself.

A) if you're going to spend $2000 on 150 notecards, you have a d*mn obligation to be sure you're going to like the product for a premium product, sub-par service, and communication.

While I did eventually get a refund, it came with incredibly rude customer service over the phone and a demand that I walk in person to prove the balloons were faulty.

Bottom line: don't buy balloons here unless you're okay with sad, sinking balloons that don't float and even worse customer service.

I have shopped there on several occasions for various gifts and decorations including balloons for my son's birthday. Today, I stopped there to purchase an Easter basket for my son. I initially picked up a wooden basket, but afterwards saw a cloth option and put the wooden one back. I asked the black man who is usually standing around in the store (not sure if he is the manager) if there were any other cloth basket options and he said no. I then went to checkout and pay for the cloth basket, while the cashier was ringing me up, he (the black man) approached me with another cloth basket. I initially thought he was trying to get me to buy two, but then he stated that I had two cloth baskets, I told him that I only had one, but he continued to assert that I had picked up two. He then asked to check the Trader Joe's bag I was carrying, which was shocking to me, my guess is that he confused the wooden basket I had with a cloth basket and I explained to him that I had previously picked up a wooden basket and showed him where I put it back on the shelf. I also then opened my bag to show him that I did not have another cloth basket. It was extremely embarrassing and humiliating to be essentially accused of stealing an easter basket. He did not apologize and kept mumbling about another bag. I obviously did not purchase the overpriced cloth easter bag, left the store and bought one at Target instead. I will never set foot in this store again and will make sure that my other mom and neighborhood friends will not either! I also unfortunately believe that this accusation would not have been made if I was a white woman. There are many google reviews about the rude customer service at this store, but the blatant racism was not something I was expecting and was very upsetting.
