Customer service is subpar, may have caught them on an off-day. For nearly $500 the shadowbox doesn't come with a package for transporting, it became a diy project to have to assemble the flag, ribbons and medals; and if you ask for a package you'll probably receive some negative backlash. Not worth the hassle.

My shipmate who ordered reached out and they said there's nothing they can do. I spent $125 on this and they won't even make a new one with the correct spelling of my name? Unfortunate. I won't recommend this company to anyone who is getting anything customized. Product would've been nice if it weren't for the fact that they're unwilling to replace their mistake. Then the owner wanted to lie on Google reviews and say i had an email with the name "Jeffery Mitchell. " There was never an email chain. My coworker physically gave printed sheets of paper from fltmps with our names printed on it and when she called to let them know there was an error and their response was that there was nothing they could do about it now. Please explain why, if there was an email chain showing the name given was Jeffrey Mitchell, my paddle says "Jewel" Instead of Jewelle. This is a prime example that even as a civilian, the chiefs mess cannot be trusted. I hope those who "google it out" find this review helpful.

I loved everything inside, and wanted to buy one of everything! If you're looking for a gift for almost anyone, this is a good spot to check out.

Shop local like you mean it and you won't be disappointed at Texture!…read more After many years, Texture has relocated out of the quaint house on Baldwin Avenue to serve its customers in a more convenient location just a few blacks down on Colley Avenue. The new location is nestled next to Running, Etc and across the street from Blair Middle School. It boasts ample street parking with a convenient side parking lot for customers as well. A beautiful store-front window is always displayed to perfection bringing window shopping to life during your stroll down Colley Avenue. A charming sidewalk chalkboard sign greets you before you even enter the store. The handiwork on the sign is done by a local artist which speaks to the nature of Texture. As you enter the shop, you will find it proudly supports local artists of Coastal Virginia from Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, and more. I'm always impressed by the jewelry, hand designed greeting cards, pottery, and accessories that the owner finds for the store. She or any other "Texurette" will happily tell you about the origins of any item. The ladies who work in the shop (Texurettes, as they are fondly called) are always friendly and helpful if you are looking for something particular. They offer complimentary gift wrapping in adorable gift bags tied with ribbon. Every time I give a gift in a Texture bag the recipients eyes light up! You will find a price range for every wallet. I have bought $2 hand soaps, hilarious dishes towels for $10 as well as beautiful jewelry in the higher price range. Texture is one of those local shops who truly supports local as well. I love both that they give back to the community and support local artists. It is definitely the ideal place to find a gift for any occasion. They have a baby boutique with one of a kind baby gifts, vintage inspired puzzles, funny gifts such as socks and dish towels, coastal decor, jewelry, handbags, pottery, candles and more. I'm not sure how the owner did it, but the move to their new location only brought more of that local charm with them to Colley Avenue. They are still serving up friendly southern greetings to every customer while making their new shiny store feel ever so welcoming. Kudos!

The pin started to become loose, nearly falling out. I brought my watch back, and the man was so rude. I was trying to explain the issue, and he asked me to slow down because he did not understand what I was saying, even though he was interrupting me with incorrect information as if he wasn't listening anyway. He wasn't able to repair it and ended up ruining my watch's band. I just took my watch and went somewhere else because I didn't want to deal with him. Bottom line: he's short tempered, has absolutely no customer service, and worse, he doesn't know what he's doing.

His response is "I'm going to lunch." When I asked him if he could do it, he said yes but won't be done until 1:30. Well, I got back there at 1:45 and waited until 2:00. He was in no hurry and I just asked him to quit and give it to me because I was so mad. To top it off, he charged me $25 for two lines. Unfortunately, I had no cash, because he would have got maximum $10. When I asked how he came up with that number, he stated that he charges based on his time. At his work rate, a three line engraving would have cost $50-75. TRUST ME! Do not get any work from this guy.
