I bought one on site but my heart was set on a particular print and shirt combo in my size which wasn't available at the time. I was able to order the shirt to my preference and Annie arranged shipping back to the US for me after I left. This is where a great experience gets even better, she shipped my shirt, sent me the tracking number and monitored it all the way to me. The shirt arrived in perfect shape in a very lovingly wrapped package with a personalized thank you and some goodies thrown in. I wish this store was closer so I could shop there more often. I'll be back for more the next time I'm in Mérida.

I was impressed at how well stocked, clean, and well-staffed this locations was. It is definitely several steps above the Walmart that sits a few miles from my house in Los Angeles. We found what we needed, and proceeded to check out. The checkout was quick and seamless, and the cashier along with all other staff members were friendly. It was a quick stop, but a nice one at that.

Highly recommended!
