The owner does shopping by appointment only; I previously thought this was due to covid-19 but now I see a review from years ago saying it's always been like this. When you go to a store by appointment, of course it's implied that you are to buy something because you're taking up the owners time when others could be giving it business. Here's the thing: I went in completely unaware of just how insane the prices are here, probably the most expensive vintage store i've been in out of the 100 i've shopped at before, and some of this includes very basic items such as a navy and red tank top with stains on it ($45). Almost everything in the store was above $70. I understand that it is completely up to the store owner as to what they believe their items are valued at, but this alone is not why i'm writing this review, it's the way I was treated at the end. I realized as I looked around the store that there were very few things I could afford, I walked in with a $100 budget, which normally could get me a couple of items in a vintage shop (depending on what they are of course). Again, I understand that the store owner has the right to determine their pricing, but I soon realized I would not be able to buy much. I ended up picking out a bandana mostly because I would feel bad for occupying an appointment space and not buying anything. I went up to the counter to buy the bandana, which turned out to be $20. I asked the owner (I presume) if she had any other vintage recommendations nearby, she recommended Double Take, which I looked up and said "oh wow, it's far" just out of my own surprise, because i'm not familiar with Santa Fe. She replied with a sarcastic "whoops!" as if I was blaming her for it being far. I finished my transaction and thanked her for the bandana, to which I received a dry "thanks." It's one thing to have your store be absurdly expensive, it's another thing to make your customers feel bad when they can't afford it. Had I known this is how it was, I would not have visited. I don't recommend coming here unless you could care less about how you're treated, regardless of whether or not you buy something expensive enough for approval.

Big R Store

I can shop at many different places in Santa Fe or Albuquerque. What keeps me coming back to any…read morestore is GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Big R is a perfect example of this. I went into the Santa Anna Big R (near Bernallio) to buy a special dog food. The Wholesome foods sensitive stomach is the best food for my Great Dane & German Shepard. Only one the Shepard can keep down. I was truly excited to see Big R carries it & it was on sale, at a great price. I went into store as they opened hopefully to buy the dog food only to find they didn't have it. Here is where the Santa Fe BIG R stepped up to make our day. I spoke with manager "Nathan" who told me he had 5 bags & would transfer them to the store near me in Bernallio. He could have them there this afternoon for me to pickup tomorrow morning. Saving me a trip to Santa Fe, stocking me up for weeks to come, & allowing me to get the bags at the sale price. Nathan's customer service is the reason I will continue to shop Big R.

Update: BIG R DIDN'T EVEN FIX IT. THE SAW STILL WONT IDLE. ALL THE MESS BELOW AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN…read moreDO THEIR JOBS. I had never even heard of Big R before this mess. And my experience with them explains why. So I bought a brand new Husqvarna chainsaw (I received awful service from Husqvarna too and would not recommend their products. If something goes wrong they'll leave you high and dry and stuck dealing with a place like Big R) from Lowe's and it did not run correctly. Lowe's wouldn't take it back because it had been more than 48 hours so I was stuck. So I reached out to Husqvarna and their "customer service" sent me to the local service center, which is big R. So I took the chainsaw to Big R and explained to the cashier what the issue was. Things seem to be going fine, but then he said there would be a service fee. Obviously, I did not feel that was right as this was a brand new chainsaw and if anybody should be paying anything to fix it, it should be Husqvarna. So he called this manager over. This is basically where the whole problem started. From the get-go this manager, Michelle made it very clear she had zero interest in helping or moving the problem forward. All she offered was to make sure I was aware I was gonna be responsible for paying this. She never said anything like "this is what you need to do". It was just "you didn't buy this here so it's not our problem" . So I left thinking I'd take it somewhere else. I reached back out to Husqvarna and they said just take it back and Big R will submit it as a warranty repair. Wondering why Michelle had said NOTHING about this I brought the chainsaw back that same afternoon. I dealt with the exact same cashier who knew exactly what was going on. And I left the chainsaw to be repaired. Fast-forward like six weeks later. (Because they don't even do the repairs in Santa Fe. They had to send my chainsaw to Colorado.) I get a call that it's ready and I immediately ask is there a $ balance. sure enough they're trying to charge me about $60. So I told him no I'm not paying that and I hung up the phone. I continued receiving calls from various people and I ended up hanging up on all of them. I'll give them credit for continuing to escalate up the chain but I never asked for that. They could have thrown the saw in the trash for all I cared. But every person i spoke with wanted me to jump through hoops instead of just reaching out to Husqvarna to get paid. Pretty sad these people are so stupid or lazy they can't make this simple connection. Finally I get a voicemail from some regional manager and he waived the fee but also made it a point to tell me my business was no longer welcome. Gee! Ya think?! This is such petty Gen Z "you were mean to us" behavior. Yeah don't look at your manager Michelle's massive failure here. Blame the customer. Trust me Big R, you didn't get any money from me and you never will.

Please, don't EVER sell your items to these predators. They are deceitful bandits who will take advantage of you, especially if you're in a vulnerable state. I have waited years to come forward with this review. I don't like to bad rap people, but my experience with them was HORRIFIC. I was honest with the owner and told him that I really needed money and why. He took my jewelry in the back room to weigh it and was totally dishonest about how much my pieces weighed, how much they were worth - even tried to denigrate the design of some amazing 18K gold pieces telling me they were "so out of date, who would even want to wear something like this?" He ended up with a handful of my treasures and I got almost nothing for them. Shame on these horrible people! read more
