I stopped into Pearl St. while looking for something different than the usual mall stores, and I'm…read moreso glad I did. The shop has a great mix of designer, vintage, and everyday pieces, and everything feels thoughtfully curated instead of overcrowded. The staff was welcoming without being pushy, and I appreciated that they were happy to answer questions and offer suggestions. The prices were fair for the quality, and I ended up finding a few unique pieces that I've already gotten compliments on. If you enjoy browsing for one-of-a-kind finds and supporting a local business, Pearl St. is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

In the past year I have been both a buyer and seller to NU2U. and after today, I might be done…read moreconsigning. I read alot of great things about them written by others but unfortunately not all of them were my experience. Over the past year I have made them a respectable amount of money for them on my consignments as most items sold. You know, what I mean is I have supplied them with enough of the kind of quality items that enough buyers want and are critical to the success of their business. But it seemed that one of the employees, who I'll call Carla, was always scolding me and reminding me of their boundaries and rules as if I were still in grade school every time I dropped off items to sell. for example I have been yelled at for bringing my items on "the wrong day" or not bringing in labels or how I was annoying them in some other way. However the boundaries don't seem to cut both ways since Today they expected me to cut them slack. Let me explain- In Early May I brought items in and they did not get around to logging them in Until May 19th. At that time they sent me an email saying they unilaterally decided that 2 pairs of shoes I gave them were not good enough and therefore and they donated them- thanks for the warning. I came there pick up unsold items on June 27th. I got the shoes back, since they didn't really give them to the charity yet (not the first time I got lies from the staff, or shall we say, inconsistent explanations btw). I collected my unsold items and tried to check them out. At that time Carla warned me if I wanted to retrieve my unsold items I would have to pay them a 25 percent penalty because although it had been 53 days since I dropped the items off (May 6) it had not been 45 days since they finally got around to acknowledging by email my drop-offs-(May 19). So I will have to wait until the July 4th holiday weekend to retrieve my stuff or be docked, Oh, And don't pick up Thursday. or the weekend or Monday because we are either busy or closed. I had explained , but to no avail. When I asked her to reconsider, I talked about how I resided 50 miles away, and given the exponential rise in gas prices this year, it was becoming increasingly a no starter for me to make extra trips there for whatever. I was ignored while Carla let anybody and everybody interrupt me while she continued to work the cash register. And then another 'employee' who also identified herself as Carla's mother, interrupted us, to try to shame me publicly for complaining, telling me how ungrateful I apparently was (oh, please) and Overworked the store employees were (an excuse for the delay in getting my items listed) and that Carla got injured because she was working so hard to get all these consignments (including mine?). and I should feel bad blabla. I said not my fault not my problem ; which sent the whole room gasping. why? it was true. It was their choice! Just as mine was to live 50 miles away I suppose. maybe Carla needs to file a workers comp claim. Or they need to hire more people. but anyway, thank you for your service. NU2U seems to be very successful indeed. They also seem to enjoy marketing and engaging buyers on facebook. And, judging from other reviews, they are delivering what alot of people want at very reasonable prices for them. but who really pays for that? What is their business model? after a year of personal observation, attract sellers with high value quality consignments , sell those items for next to nothing (for the fastest buck possible?) and let the consignor have 40 percent of that nothing. (and cut corners on the workforce needed to improve efficiency?). then donate the unsold stuff that is not picked up after 50 days to their favorite charity (so they say ). but am not seeing accountability , especially since NU2U controls all aspects of the sales process from cradle to grave and they don't answer to anybody that I can tell. On that note, Anybody getting a tax write off or kudos for saving the planet when they give our clothes away. In that case how generous of us. Oh well. I have been buying clothes to wear and reselling/donating them when I got tired of them for over 40 years. A new cycle starts again. back to the Goodwill...

So far it has been good. I dropped off my items and I know after 45 days if they have not sold,…read moreownership transfers to store or they are donated

This is a large, multi room thrift store that primarily sells women's clothing. They also have some…read moreshoes, a very small men's section, home goods, pet goods, and some furniture. They have four or five dressing rooms with a designated attendant who stayed in the area so there was no waiting for rooms to be unlocked, which I greatly appreciated. She was kind and helpful as well. All of the clothing was in good condition from what I saw. There's also a range of sizes, including plus size. The racks are organized by size and color which was incredible and makes looking for items so much easier. There were many people working at this store which was a plus, in case you had questions or needed help. I enjoyed my experience and would return if I was passing through the area however it did feel a bit overpriced to me. This store is advertised as a consignment shop, which might be why the condition of the items was better than stores like Goodwill, and the pricing was higher. Most of the shirts were about 10$, which again felt a bit high to me. I did get lucky and found some work pants for 8$. Like I said, I'd come back if I was in the area but I've enjoyed my time at other stores more than this particular one.

I tried on a huge sunhat for only $20 it was so sheik. Service was great. They have a couple change rooms too and even more sale items in the back.
