Price was a bit high but to be expected based on the level of service and expertise. Thank you and will return again when the bike needs a refresh!

I shipped my mountain bike cross country to Rat Cycles in Fort Belvoir, and they built it up for me…read moreso I could go riding quickly. Prices are reasonable, staff is really friendly and informative, and they get stuff done. I needed some brake rotors so they followed up with me and had them in the shop in about 3 days. After my stay in Fort Belvor I plan to have them pack the bike back up and ship it home. Only issue is communication, I had to email a few times and follow-up with phone calls to make sure everything was covered with my bike. I think they are way better in person than via email; still gave them 5 stars!

Personally, I was not ready for my child's ears to be pierced, but Nina made it incredibly comfortable without lying to my daughter one bit about the process and the pinch of pain. We all left incredibly happy!

The lady at the register was very friendly, and she helped me get the fabric I needed very quickly…read more I wish I remembered her name, but she was wonderful! Someone bought the patterned fabric at another store, but my seamstress asked me to get a plain fabric to match it. I showed the lady my fabric and asked for a dark green one that would match, and she found it within seconds!!! The green fabric she found is the sleeves on the dress.

I never received my second order and when I emailed them to follow up,…read morethey lied and said that my second order delivered, in which they were referring to my first order. My second order never shipped, nor delivered. Once corrected, they blocked me on all platforms preventing me from ever receiving my order, or my refund. Very rude, very unprofessional, and terrible service.

This was my first time visiting the Talbots Outlet in Springfield but it won't be my last. I'm a…read moresale shopper, I love the quality and color palettes at Talbots but I rarely pay full price and just have to cross my fingers that something I want will be available in my size on sale. I found so many lovely items today and bought 15 items for $390. A really great bargain. I could have easily spent more but I will save that for my next visit. Had a really nice conversation with Monica at checkout. Recommend shopping here!

If you've ever visited Martha's Vineyard, you're probably familiar with this brand. Upon entry,…read moreyou're greeted by a team member prepared to share the story of its humble beginnings, Captain Bob Douglas, and the Black Dog sailors. This General store has a nice collection of comfortable casual clothing and accessories. You can feel the high quality and the clothes are very reasonably priced. Apparel is more classically styled so it never gets outdated. Most of the items seem to fall into 2 fit categories. "Roomy" which is slightly oversized and "Classic" which fits more naturally. However, I prefer the "Fashion" fit which isn't tight but more aligned with my natural curves. Aside from clothes, they have specially designed accessories and stuff for your furry friend. Staying true to its roots, philanthropy is always is full swing. This general store partners with local animal shelters to host dog adoptions events. Adoptable dogs find a home and new owners learn how to properly care for their new pet.

Casmera should not be called a shoe repair shop. They should be called 'leather repair.' Over the…read morelast four months I have had three separate leather items repaired, cleaned and re-stiched/seamed. I had a leather jacket and two purses repaired. Bar none, the repairs were the best I have ever had done anywhere! The quality was outstanding! Their attention to detail is not something I see anymore. On all three repairs they found extra items that needed TLC and did them without extra charges. The staff is always friendly too. I would rate them 4 & 1/2 stars on their workmanship if I could. I would give Casmera 5 stars if they were not so in demand and took longer than expected for all the jobs. That is a great problem to have. Also, striving toward better communication with their customers about the repairs would definitely give them five stars. Don't go anywhere else. Go to Casmera. They were out of the way for me, but so worth it!

If you have time to search, you will truly find hidden gems. I have gone early in the morning, late…read moreat night, and on Tuesdays (25% off for members), and I have found lots of good things. I have spent 20 minutes while waiting for food and up to an hour and a half looking here. The longer you look, the more goodies you will find in the store. I have found vintage depression glass, very good vintage Kate Spade and Coach purses, and very nice vintage dresses; but as I said, you do have to take the time to look for the items, as they will not always just pop out at you. If you go looking for a specific item, you will most likely find it. I love the selection of sweaters in the fall and the men's T-shirts; I have found a lot of cool concert T-shirts. Prices sometimes are hit or miss on what you are looking for but if you go on tuesdays when it is twenty five percent off, that would probably be the best deal that you can get items for.

Everything is pretty clearly labeled and I found the pricing to be fair. As always I find it interesting which brands they price higher, while some designer or vintage labels are fairly inexpensive. They could use more mirrors around the store. I found it to be clean and well organized. If out for a thrifting trip you could also hit up the Goodwill on Telegraph which is hit or miss in my opinion. Worth a trip!
