    Michaels - WORST CS experience at any Michael's EVER. Item was marked $5, clear., DOZENS of them. She was on the phone with her manager a looong time.

    If you're choosing between Michael's in Portsmouth, NH and their Biddeford, ME store... Biddeford…read moreis a clear winner, and worth the drive. (It's close to the I-95 exit, not in downtown Biddeford.) The store's selection of fine art supplies is superb. The staff are tremendously helpful. (Yes, the store can be a little understaffed at times, but if you ask for help at the front register, someone will help you immediately. And they'll go FAR out of their way to help you find exactly what you need, answer questions, share honest opinions, and so on.) While we're staying around York (Maine), we choose the Biddeford store every time. (When we don't, we regret it.) Michael's has become one of the few remaining chain stores carrying a wide range of arts and crafts supplies, including fabrics. That's frustrating, since each store can stock a limited range of products within each niche. However, if you're around southeast Maine - or even in coastal NH - the Biddeford store is the place to shop, especially for fine art supplies. The range of them is impressive, and their sale prices (frequently offered) are unbeatable. Definitely recommended!

    Personally, I am not a crafty person and don't really frequent Michael's all that often. Most of…read morethe times I stop by to make a purchase, I am on a mission for my wife. Today was such a mission, as I was looking for "chalk board" contact paper. I spent a short and I mean short time looking up and down the aisles and finally decided, I was out of my league, and searched for an associate to help me. I found one and she dropped what she was working on and let me on, what I thought was a scavenger hunt. She knew exactly where to go and I followed like a lost puppy and In a short time we arrived in the correct location. They were out and she suggested I order online. Now, my visit could have simply ended there, however sensing my disappointment, she suggested an alternative. Perhaps they have something that I could use in the Cricut aisle and off we went again. She immediately identified the Cricut "chalk board" vinyl and I was delighted. You know the saying, "A happy wife, a happy life." With this in mind, why only four stars you ask? Well, their regular prices are a bit on the high end, unless you catch a sale or are lucky enough to have a coupon. For customer service I am giving Michael's lots of kudos, so the next time you find yourself at Michael's, don't hesitate to ask for help. Enjoy!
