    When I took it in.
    Oren A.

    This guy damaged my jacket and swore at me when I tried to stop sim It was surreal. My jacket had some small holes in it, so I brought it in hoping it could be fixed. Ralph pulled at the tears, making one noticeably bigger, at first saying he could fix it. Then he changed his mind, saying he can't fix it because it's poor quality. But he kept pulling at the tears! I asked him to please stop making the tears worse if he wasn't going to fix them. He immediately got super aggressive with me. I had taken the jacket back by now, and he tried to grab it from me, snarling "I'll fix the mother fucker." By then I just wanted to get out of there. For a moment, I thought he was going to hit me when I wouldn't give him the jacket. If he had been closer to me in age and size, I'd have been genuinely worried. Eventually he just yelled at me to get out, which I was already trying to do. As I was leaving he suddenly said "have a nice day" as if some part of his brain remembered that it's bad business to curse out one's customers. I still cannot believe this happened. All because I asked him to stop making the damage *worse* Check out the before and after picks on the tear!

    Ralph works out of his apt in Capitol Hill, has decades of experience, speaks bluntly, works super fast, and has fair pricing. I got a leather racing jacket repaired and it was ready the same day. God Bless Ralph!

    Great service and quick fix for reasonable price. Fixed a zipper on a leather backpack in no time.

    Has anyone had Ralph stretch out a leather jacket that was a little bit too snug?

    If you are looking for a more minimalist design focused plant shop, Glasswing is for you. However,…read morethere is one caveat that I will get to later. The store layout is great because it creates a very intuitive shopping experience. Not that you will be on your own because the staff here are great at making a quick intro and answering any questions you have and leaving you alone if you are just browsing or taking your time to make a decision. Also, Glasswing always seems to have a plant expert on hand to answer any of your questions and if they don't they will reach out to someone at their sister store down the street. We've been very happy with all of our purchases here. All the plants have been super healthy and looked much better than the same plant from other places we looked. I will say, however, you pay for this perfection, which for me is worth it.

We bought a candle and a hanging plant- it is growing out of a moss covered log- so unique and beautiful. We were patiently taught how to care for it. I will be back soon.

    I had a truly terrible experience at this store that still bothers me to this day…read more I liked this store because it was basically on my doorstep, and it had a good selection of cards. After patronizing this place for a while, I was asked not to come back to this store. Naturally I was curious as to why they would do this to a repeat customer. I was told that I had made an employee uncomfortable- by flirting with them!! I was gobsmacked as to why anyone would think that. I'm a talker- I talk to everyone I meet the same way, but this person thought I was flirting with them. Perhaps they have too much main character energy to think that. Perhaps they found my chattiness annoying- not everyone is going to be delighted by me- but why, WHY would they not just tell me they were busy and couldn't talk? Did they feel they were being held hostage? I saw Standard Goods as a neighborhood spot. Keep in mind I wasn't camping out at the store; I'd say my average visit was -20 minutes, and I wasn't there frequently. This just doesn't make any sense to me. I'm forced to consider the possibility they felt ill at ease around me due to my disablity- I'm legally blind and my eyes look different, some people aren't comfortable with that that's their problem. Even if that's not the case, it still really hurt when they asked me not to come back. What is this, high school? Yes, I cried. They made me feel like my presence was a nuisanc. It left an impact. question whether people want me around. There were so many other ways they could have dealt with it and at the same time keep in mind that I was a customer with feelings. I get the distinct sense that they don't care about customers or the community. It's good for managers to take their employees' concerns seriously- Just not like this. Maybe they are extremely nonconfrontational, yet there must have been another way to addrss this without banning me from the store.

They jam your…read moreentire order, no matter the value, into a single USPS package, which is only insured for up to $100, and with their brand plastered on the outside, making it a target for mail theft but impossible to be fully reimbursed for if/when the contents get stolen. After a number of emails back and forth, they were not able to send me the original mailing receipt which is required to file a claim with USPS, so it seems unlikely I'll get anything from the claim anyways. They even gave me a "tip" that I should look into getting a secure mailbox, as if that would prevent an empty box from being delivered in the first place. In the end, I spent $140 for a box with nothing more than tissue paper and promotional material. Oh, did I mention they generously offered to send me the products again if I pay 60% more than I already paid? Thanks, but definitely not going to throw more money in your direction only to lose it again. Update: Just to clarify, this is not a case of mailbox theft...I was physically delivered an empty box by the carrier. There is always risk involved with shipping, and as the shipper, it's your responsibility to ship in a way that reasonably reduces risk and puts shipping liability on the carrier. Since you put more than $100 of your product in a box that's only covered for up to $100, you put the risk on the customer. I can't possibly be refunded now. You also could have reduced risk within reason by not advertising on the outside of the box that there is jewelry inside.
