I typically make online purchases, but with ONCE UPON A TIME TOYS, how could I avoid it? I love the store name, and it was right there in front of me in quaint, charming Stowe, VT, so I went in. There were a great many unique toys, games and children's gift ideas at this store, but it was overwhelming to me. The sales associate was very friendly, so I asked her what she'd recommend for a 1 year old girl and something "Spiderman" for my 4 year old grandson. She immediately presented me with a cloth doll, and a little boat with Spiderman in it that when wound up in water (like in a bathtub), it would zoom across the water. I took them both !! My granddaughter was interested for a few minutes and moved on to something else because she's only 1. I'm quite certain the little doll will have greater appeal to her as she gets older. My grandson was soooooooo taken with his Spiderman boat that he broke it before getting to test it out in the actual water. He's 4, and listening to directions is not part of his skill set yet, lol. Regardless, if we're ever back up in Stowe, VT, I'm sure we'd return to this store to see what else we could find for my grandchildren !! Great little store with lots of unique toys for kids !!

They had so many classic toys we remember from our own childhoods, plus an incredible selection of stuffed animals, games, and books for all ages. The staff was genuinely the kindest--so friendly and welcoming, they made us feel right at home. And the real star of the show? Luna, the shop dog. She's the sweetest, fuzziest little mascot, and we could've sat on the floor petting her all day (honestly, we almost did). If you're in town, don't skip this spot. Whether you're shopping for a gift, looking for a blast from the past, or just want to say hi to Luna, it's 100% worth the stop!

Many of the clothing items were priced in the $50-$100+ ballpark. Ultimately, the clearance section in the back and toys selection were of most interest as we perused for a gift for our niece. They offer serval thoughtful items that would make good gifts- Lego design sets, piggy banks, etc. The shop is well organized and clean.

After some time I decided to reach out to the manager Marie Kelly who was unwilling to even offer me a partial refund or reshipment. I've been in sales for over 30 years, and I would never treat a customer this way, for any reason ever. I follow a strict policy of treat you customers the same way you'd want to be treated; especially if it means only losing the retail mark-up cost of an item. But, I guess they don't hold ethics in very high esteem. Apparently, the customer isn't always right with yellow-turtle. Order online with this merchant at your own risk.

She is aware that there are customers who think the eyes look purple. The company did a lot of research regarding color perception and found that some people are seeing blue, and some see purple. It's all a matter of personal perception." So I called back and stated that this was unacceptable. And the owner again was screaming over poor Jessica.
