I will never purchase on line from this store again. I placed an order on 12/30/24 and after almost…read morea week it had still not shipped. I had to call to find out why not and was told that USPS had failed to pick up the shipment. I guess they just keep waiting for them to come instead of making sure a customer order gets shipped. Then after it finally shipped it sat in a carrier facility where it still remains. Now they are telling me that I have to wait 2-3 weeks before they will consider it lost. Meanwhile they have my money and I have no merchandise and if it ever arrives I will have no use for it because it will have arrived too late to gift. No one should be told that they have to wait 37 days to fix an obvious problem. Very poor customer service.

I am not a hard core gift buyer and dont know much about chatkis, charms, jewelry and a lot of other things lol most things, but I do know that anyone can find something good here at a decent price. Not el cheapo dollar store prices. Patriots sweats are $32 Life is Good t-shirts $24 I think but hey they have them so thats good. Busy of course now toward Christmas. And parking truly sucks this time of the year if not all the time in this busy Shaws plaza. Great cash out area thats well organized with at least 4 registers open. They do quick returns there too as that was partially what I needed today. Line moves well. I would go back there as a #1 spot over Target, Marshalls and smaller gift stores as the store is totally geared to gifts You'll be successful buying for anyone on any occasion.

I know the prices are high but to have EMPTY REFRIGERATORS, till I asked one of the Managers in the area. According to him the store lost power NOT TARGETS FAULT BUT NATIONAL GRID! So, they estimated that 1/4 of a MILLION DOLLARS OF MEATS and all other refrigerator items were thrown in the dumpster! What's extremely disturbing is that some of the public was trying to salvage some of that food!!! With many people suffering from Food INSECURITY ALL WAS DISPOSED! TARGETS REASON: LIABILITY! Why don't they have anyone that wanted to salvage the waste to sign waivers or donate what was sealed and vacuum packed! Just cause it was 6 hours without refrigeration I'm sure it was still healthy to eat and feed just think what A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS OF FOOD COULD HAVE BEEN SUPER BENEFICIAL! Sorry to hear this from actual Target employees and they feel the same way! What a tremendous WASTE! If they took it upon themselves to forgo LIABILITY FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THOSE STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET! The Public should know that Yes Target does not want to harm anyone BUT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HEROS TO ALL OF THERE FOOD TO DONATION CENTERS AND THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS! I personally very heart broken to hear of such waste!

Good thing is found some randomly marked down toys on one of the end caps. Totally unnecessary purchase, but at 75% off, it was a reasonable deal.

Very happy about this but slightly overwhelmed. The one thing hanging over my head was the kids stockings. For them, the stockings are even more exciting than the big, wrapped presents. The thought of rifling through all the junk on Amazon or fighting the crowds at Target was daunting. Enter Astrid, the owner of CouCou, which recently moved from the South End to the hip WinSmith Studios in Norwood. I contacted her and she immediately responded with 'you got it. I'll take pictures of what I gather for each child and you can tell me if I need to make adjustments.'. She's also wrapping each gift and on top of that using one paper for my daughter and another paper for my son. We all shop on Amazon for the convenience but my god, how nice is the personal touch. A holiday PSA moment to SHOP SMALL. God bless you, Astrid- youre my Christmas miracle.

I talked to them. The manager had answered the phone to me. She said I think I know what you talking about be right back put me on hold. She went down into the store it was a busy holiday season went into the store found the planes I was speaking of. She held them up at the counter for me. I went right over to get them. She was so kind and friendly. To thank her for the wonderful customer service experience and helped me to find this plane for this poor angel tree child I brought her a plant to say thank you she just thought that was the nicest thing I did want to bring them coffee and stuff, but they said no thank you. Definitely would go back to this particular five below again because it was so helpful and right on top of everything Really great experience. They should definitely get a recommendation from the company. The price of the choice was five dollars. I have recently been purchasing one on Amazon that was like $15 because I needed the plane but they have it for Five and it was a much better plane and much bigger.

They carry merch for beloved franchises such as Star Wars, Pokemon, Totoro/Studio Ghibli, Pusheen, Rick and Morty, Harry Potter, Stranger Things, etc. Personally, I like to come here for the Amuse plushies (Amuse is the Japanese company that sells the most adorable alpacasso, hamster, and rabbit plushies). You can find the Amuse plushies online, but there's just something satisfying about knowing how soft/fluffy they are before buying. They also carry San-X plushies (Rilakkuma, Sumikko Gurashi, etc). They also have these giant food shaped cushions that are highly popular in Japan (giant slices of meat, sushi, etc). The icing on top of the cake is the fact that I came with my friend, who is visiting from Europe and likes to collect coins. When we checked out, we paid with cash and asked the staff if they could let us pick out some "newer" coins/state quarters, and not only did they say sure, they actually laid out every single coin from their register. (Don't worry, we made sure we weren't holding up any lines.) Anyway, the fact that they were so accommodating with such an odd request really made my day. This place definitely gets an A+ for superior service.

There are top brands like Stanley, Jellycat, the trending Dubai Chocolate Bar, and so much more. As being a member of the Paper Store Perks, I received an offer of 20% off total purchase for my birthday. The offer was valid in-store and online for a whole month and it excluded some brand names like Air & Anchor, Birkenstock, Bogg Bags, Bombas, Cotopaxi, Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments, Jellycat, kate spade NEW YORK, Owala, sale and clearance, and gift cards. I was able to use it for Lavender Wildflowers Boxed Everyday Note Cards. I continued browsing the website and saw some Jellycats that were sold out on the official Jellycats website. I was so happy to get the Little Pup Bag Charm and Amuseable Birthday Cake Plush! There were options for delivery or in-store pickup. Some Jellycats were not available for shipping and only the free pick up in store option. With that option, I was able to select which store to pickup. I submitted my order at 9:36am and at 10:35am, I received an email that my order is ready for pickup. The order has to be picked up within 5 days or the product will be returned to inventory. The Paper Store is located in Legacy Place. There are plenty of parking spots and Legacy Place has many other businesses. I browsed the store and asked a staff member where I could find the Dubai Bars. The staff member informed me they were at the checkout counter. I picked up 2 Dubai Bars ($25.00 each) for friends and a Dubai Birthday Cake ($25.00) for myself. I also informed them that I had an order to pickup. The staff member asked me for my name and brought my online order to me. After picking up my order, I received an email saying thank you for picking up your order.
