Belk, Gulfport, Mississippi - A Must-See for Socialists, Sociologists, Not Shoppers…read more If you're a tourist--or a local with a strong stomach--and ever wondered what it looks like when a national retail chain is clinging to survival like a cat on a screen door, then do yourself a favor: go to Belk in Gulfport, Mississippi. This store is either circling the drain or conducting a masterclass in how not to run a retail operation. The experience? Imagine a time capsule of corporate desperation: oddball marketing gimmicks, sales that make no sense, and a rewards system that might require a three-hour phone call and a degree in forensic accounting to decipher. I'm convinced they've turned "customer service" into an endurance sport. As a long-time Belk account holder, I'm not here to trash anyone--I'm simply documenting what should be considered a public service field trip. If there were Nobel Peace Prizes for keeping your cool in a chaotic retail environment, I think this review alone would qualify me as a finalist. And in case you're wondering, I won't be accused of defamation. I was encouraged--practically begged--by Belk to close my account, and after this experience, I now understand why. You're welcome, America.

Ordered luggage online and received one piece that was not in a box and obviously been used. Tape…read moreand labels all over the case and paint scratched off in several places. Required to mail the damaged piece in , not allowed to drop off in the store. Still waiting for replacement. Called support and they said it was not a priority to ship replacement items. They did verify that the return had been received but could not tell me when the replacement would be shipped. I have had better service from overseas companies. This is not the store it use to be.

I absolutely DO NOT recommend Ky Kind of Place Outfitters! I recently entered a giveaway on their…read moreFacebook page. The rules stated that we had to like the page & post, share it, and tag a minimum of 3 friends. It DID NOT say that the winner had to pay for shipping or that it was for locals only. I ultimately won the grand prize, a cooler valued at $385. When I contacted the owner he refused to pay $58 to ship it to me. He then proceeded to curse me, call me names, bully me, and purposely call me "He" after he was told several times, by several people that I was a female. He treated me horribly!!! He is a scam artist and a fake. Stay away from this store if you value your hard earned money!!!

I…read morewalked in within five seconds I was asked If I needed assistance, right after asking first rep signaled to a second rep and I was in a fitting room after about three minutes of arriving. They didn't attempt to upsell me or force anything I didn't need (bought a full tux w/tails). I put everything on and I was in front of a mirror shortly after getting measured for hem and a couple other alterations. All together the price I paid for a tux was cheaper than renting. As I looked around the store the also have many different options, if you like the slim fit or modern cuts they have them for you. Ties and more ties as well go you will not leave disappointed.

" I got a quarter tank of gas, in my new e-class. Aint got no job, but I stay fly"…read more The great Mannie Fresh uttered that line many years ago and it had a profound effect on me. Sure I have a job and a full tank of gas, but that isn't what DJ Mannie Fresh..Fres..eh..ek..eh Fresh meant. What Mannie was trying to say is that one of the most important things in life is your appearance. I may not have a two lane bowling alley up in my truck, but I do have style (What? Plaid is a style). So what in the world does that have to do with a Dillard's in Biloxi, MS? Just the other day I was bumping Big Tymers in my ride and heard this song. I was near the mall and it reminded me that I needed some new outfits. Dillard's to the rescue. This location is attached to a traditional walk around inside mall. Parking is easy since this is one of the anchor stores. There are several lots and none were particularly full. Inside the store had all of the traditional Dillard's things you already know about. I headed straight for the men's clothing. I was able to try on a bunch of stuff and find some jeans and plaid shirts that I purchased. I could have probably found clothes for less at other stores, but I was looking for a specific brand of jeans and they had them here. Check out was relatively painless and the cashier was friendly and professional. If you need to stay fly, check out Dillard's.

I handed them to my husband and without even trying them on fully he noticed the button was broken... I brought the pants over to the owner so that they didn't go back into circulation broken again. I explained that my husband noticed the broken button and he jumped to the conclusion my husband broke the snap. I explained that my husband did not do the damage. He dismissed my version of events and walked back behind me as I returned to my husband to MANSPLAIN how the button worked because again he assumed my husband broke the button. I guess I should have just put them back on the shelf broken but I did what I thought was the right thing to bring it to their attention. we will never shop there again even though we like the store... I would rather drive to New Orleans or Mobile.
