Ordered my first dress from a different Von Maur but it was never delivered due to an error putting…read morein my address. I was then sent a new dress from this location. It delivered a day before my event and it ended up being the wrong color, despite the worker confirming the color with me before. I didn't have time to get a new dress, so I had to wear a color that did not match with my boyfriend's tux. I called to complain about my issues and they refused to give me any kind of compensation or offer a partial refund for all the issues on their end unless I came to Madison to return the dress, when I live in Milwaukee. Very disappointed in my Von Maur experience. Update 7/21: Von Maur offered to send me a new dress at no extra cost in the correct color! I appreciate customer service taking the time to fix the issue.

Nordstrom Rack is a great place to go and find what the store Nordstrom offers but at semi…read morediscounted prices. I think it's important to note that when you go in here, you're not gonna find really cheap prices. The prices are still up there. They're just a little bit less than you will find in the actually Nordstrom store and/or Nordstrom online. For me, the main reason I like Nordstrom Rack is their selection of shoes. They have a really big selection of shoes, particularly tennis shoes. They truly have a large amount of all of the name brands. And again, at semi discounted price prices. They're not cheap, but they are below what you would have to pay at the regular Nordstrom stores or most other sporting goods retailers. In terms of clothing, they have a lot of it. They have both a large selection of men and women's clothing. It's truly a vast amount. I don't usually find clothes that catch my eye at this store, but my wife always seems to find something. So, that may let you know of the mindset of the people who shop here. For men, they have a nice selection of suits, sport coats, slacks, and dress shirts. But, they're not exceptionally good deals. Personally, I prefer to go into a shop that is more devoted to those things when I buy such items. For my wife, however, she commonly finds nice dresses, tops, and also, shoes. She too, is a big fan of their shoe department. The one thing I will say is that if you want to get a nice pair of Doc Martens, this is a great place to buy them. They seem to discount Doc Martin's more than they do their other name brand shoes. This is just something to think about. Overall, if you want some high-end clothing, and/or shoes, and/or jewelry, and/or a little bit of anything else that Norstrom offers, this is a good place to purchase it.

There was a great selection of clothes at different price points which was really nice to see considering we are sort of in between seasons. Checking out was just as easy.

The checkout person was exceptionally friendly and even made me laugh and feel more excited about my purchases.

This little store is fantastic! I really feel like Madison lacks good shopping and fashion, but…read morethis store is such a gem. We need more of them! It's very cozy, and the staff is attentive and helpful. The styles are fashionable, but not too trendy, which is great to keep wearing for a few years. That's important because the price tag on some of the items are a little high. Honestly, the price is the only thing that is keeping me from giving it 5 stars. Some of the leggings were over $60, and some tops were well over $80. The return policy is a little strict too (they don't offer refunds, just store credit). But, the clothes are cute and we so desperately need that here!

Halley and her colleagues offer individual care and excellent customer service, plus lots of creativity and ideas. As an example, Halley knew I was looking for a dress for a special occasion. She helped me check out several options, and then several days later, emailed me a photo of another dress that came to the shop that I might want to consider. That's what I call going above and beyond! The shop is full of hip, reasonably-priced women's clothing that you might see in NYC or LA. It's the perfect place to pick up a gift for a girlfriend, with lots of cool jewelry, handbags and accessories. Much of the jewelry is locally made. Be sure to check out the kid clothing and toys upstairs. My brother and sister in law traveled from Chicago for a visit, and swung by the Goose for a gift for my daughter - they also were very impressed with this fun, hip shop and my daughter loves the wooden toy pizza they gave her. The Purple Goose also is committed to giving back to the community - another great quality.

I have to agree with some of the other people who have had bad experiences with the sales staff. I…read morehad a horrible experience with a Manager, Patty, last night. She didn't care about my money or my feelings. She knew she made a mistake in handling a return and didn't bother to fix it and when I noticed, (thank goodness I did!) and asked to have it fixed she was extremely unpleasant and flippant about it. When you spend that kind of money on clothes, you sure don't expect to be treated worse than a low grade department store, but that's exactly the vibe you get from the staff. What are they so unhappy and unprofessional about? Talbots are you listening?

Today I was checking out, ask if they could honor the sale starting Monday, "no way". I was told due to COVID "their inventory is not as deep so they cannot do this". I am standing there waiting to spend money at Talbots in the Madison's store, they apparently don't want it. I can tell you every single time I have been in the Rockford IL store at Cherryvale Mall they always would honor an upcoming sale. Madison's store are holding my order until Monday, a 40 mile drive for me. I told them I will order them online if they have my sizes and would let them know. So they knew I was going home to order them online. They did not offer to ship them or order them for me, etc. I can think of all sorts of customer help they could of offered. I came home without anything, put all my exact items in my shopping bag Talbot's online. Monday, yep, will hit enter. They lost a big purchase in Madison today. I would think with COVID they would want to keep their in store customers happy.
