So many people these days just want to brush off any requests that mean extra work for them, so it's always really appreciated when someone is willing to go above and beyond to help you out. Thank you again, I hope great karma comes to you all, and I can't wait to visit in person when I'm in town. Long live printed media and the great newsstands!

There was a small hiccup/misunderstanding with a large set of books I purchased from them (it was missing one volume out of 150) and the owner went out of his way to make it right. He ordered me the missing volume and had it mailed to my house since I live two hours away. This was my second trip to Blue Plate and I will always make sure to stop by whenever I'm in the area.

I called to get a subscription setup for an individual in a correctional center. The staff was…read moreextremely helpful, and we set up the subscription without difficulty. Later, a couple of issues were not received. I called The Times, and was told that initially they hand-mailed each issue, until recently, when they turned it over to the USPS. I told them I planned to call the correctional center but had wanted to check with the correctional institution first. They told me that if there was any problem they would be happy to handle it by hand again. I thought this was exceptional. I called the correctional institution, they acknowledged receipt of the papers but I was unable to confirm if they were issues delivered by the USPS or not. I later spoke with the recipient, who had now received the issues, and determined they were delivered by the USPS. I followed up with The Times to let them know that the new method was working. They again let me know that if there was any problem, to give them a call, and they would do whatever they could to help. I felt that they provided above average customer service and were more than willing to help.

I HATE to go to the store and see the Fauquier Times I SHOULD'VE already received and know I won't be reading that week's issue because I'm sure not buying it twice (paid for once but not received.) I'm on the verge of unsubscribing. Seems to me, print newspapers should value their subscribers in these times, but not the case with the Fauquier Times.

They were very nice bearing with me and even let me borrow a measuring tape as I had to go around and measure several boxes to find the one that would fit my needs. This is a great local business that fills a need in the community! It also is great to have a store that sells odds and ends in this area, and a place that you can go for shipping with much more flexible hours than the post office.
