Unfortunately, I have to give this store 1 star when I would like to have said 5. I have been a…read moreclient for 20 years at this store and have dealt with many lovely woman and men over the years, but unfortunately I can longer accept the arrogance and ego of the current manager, Frank. He treats his customers and staff with same dismissive matter of fact tone that doesn't belong in a retail customer service/ sales and managerial role. Today I came into the store to ask for a discount bc a fabric that I had ordered 2 months ago had a subtle imperfection through the entire role. That went unnoticed until after my upholsterer had cut into it. I brought the remaining white fabric to show him. He looked at it and then me and said smugly "I cant take it back and nothing I can do to help you". When I proceeded to challenge him, he in turn "you are supposed to inspect all fabrics before it's is cut into...". All of which I expected as their standard response into policy. What I am upset about was his tone and his arrogance in shamining me. He had a he ability to respond positively and even offer me some discount on future (btw, which he did after I told him I'm never shopping here again and will be reviewing store and him in every social media and review site possible). Frank, you manage a retail store which customer service should matter. Your demeanor is arrogant and condescending always. Your reputation precedes you and as far as I concerned earned. To the other lovely saleswoman, I am sorry for disruption this morning and work hard to compensate for your manager, Frank. Calico corporate sales, look into this review. He has this reputation in our community and many people like myself would rather drive to Natick or order from smaller designers or retail stores UPDATE! I knew from 20 years as a client that Calico corporate would respond with urgency and respectfully. Donna, Regional Manager, called me within 24 hours of this post and thoughtfully listened to my "drama" with Frank, Manager from Hanover MA store. Donna immediately apologized for unfortunate behavior of one her employees and immediately offered to remedy my initial simple request. I am happy to post I received exceptional service from Natick MA store manager, Deb! Both Deb and Donna went above and beyond to accommodate me and provide a very generous discount to my current order. Exceptional customer service from Deb and Donna in Natick MA Calico!! Thank you, ladies ...

Installation was over $300.00 which I thought was excessive and exorbitant!!! I went to two other reputable local merchants, purchased from one, and in both cases the install charge was under 100.00. I contacted the Calico Corners website, inquired about the install fee, and have yet to get a response even though the site says a response in approx 24 hours. Still waiting!!!!!!!

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone for any reason. I brought my Viking Sapphire in for a…read morerepair and was told not to tell the guy what was wrong with my machine because they have a 140 point check list and he didn't want to be confused by my input. Well, apparently the issues my machine has aren't on his checklist. The warning sound that signals the bobbin is running out of thread still doesn't work. The needle clamp is still the same broken one, the tension is still off and now the thread cutter, which had been working until I brought it in doesn't work any longer. I'm going to have to bring my machine to a competent repair person who listens, after having wasted about $140 dollars and three weeks for the gentleman at Beverly Sew and Vac to do more harm than good. If you value your time and your sewing machine seek help elsewhere.
