And as usual they have plenty of parking at all their locations.

I received my email the order was ready. I went there, called the number on the door to tell them I was there to pick up my order. They came out in a relatively short time with my order. I put it in my trunk and went home. I decided to check it to make sure all the yarn was correct. I first did a count and only came up with 13 skeins. I counted again. Only 13. I then went skein by skein checking them off as I went. I had only been given 2 skeins of a certain color and had paid for 3. I called and was told they DID have enough yarn and I was mistakenly given only 2 but I could come back and get the other skein. ????? So, I had to go back to the store. The woman acted like it was not an unusual thing to happen. Word of warning...... don't leave without checking your order carefully!!!!!!! How hard is is to fill an order?
