I wish that there was a negative number of stars. Like my experience was so bad that I feel like the owner owes me a drink or something. The owner clearly does not understand that customer service is about repeat business, especially in a neighborhood store like this one, and has hired people who love to smirk at customers when they are implementing the bizarre policies that the owner has created.
The woman ahead of me brought in a heavy box that was delivered to her home by mistake. The guy behind the counter said, "we can't take it." He actually said that if she left it there, he would carry it outside and leave it on the ground outside. Nevermind that the sign on the door and all over the place it says UPS...evidently they are not affiliated with UPS. what? He said that she had to call the driver to pick it up. How in the world would she know who the driver is? And don't they have drivers coming all day to pick up boxes? The owner put in place a policy that they don't help out customers like that.
Then it was my turn. I had two boxes to ship, and it was my very first big shipment for my skincare line. It was supposed to be a celebration, but instead...it was a nightmare. He asked me in an offering sort of way, "Are you going to need tape?" Yes, I said. Then he said, "we don't provide tape for customers with pre-paid shipping labels". In other words, only tape for paying customers. I said, I just need about two feet of tape. He said again, numerous times, and pointed to a big sign that says they don't provide tape for pre-paid lables and offered to get the manager. "Go ahead!" I said! I was desperate! I had to seal the boxes! There was a huge tape dispenser right next to me on the counter so I said that I am going to use it. I picked it up and he tried to wrestle it away from me. He said he was going to get the manager again and I said fine. Then he came out and said that he was going to charge a dollar for the tape. "I don't care!" I said. Geez, charge me $5, I don't care! He could have just said that in the first place. Instead I was seething mad and freaking out completely. I actually yelled at him once my boxes were all ready to go. I told him he should have just told me in the first place that he needed to charge me a dollar instead of going through that whole thing. He claimed that he did tell me, and probably will if asked again, but given that I spent $7 on a card, clearly he didn't, because I would not have gotten upset at all about paying $1 to tape up my very first ever shipment. You blew it whoever you are miss owner.
What a nightmare. It just occurred to me that my boxes were left at that location, I truly hope that something bad doesn't happen to them.
I just read through the reviews here and they are all so awful! Why doesn't the owner do something? read more
