Bidding from an auction house and procuring your desired piece of art is relatively easy when you…read morelive locally, but definitely NOT when you live 2,700+ miles away! Herein lies our challenge; however, thanks to this most industrious and spectacular Popcorn Packers team, they really came to our rescue and provided top notch customer service! Jessica instantly was receptive to answering all of our questions, went the extra mile by picking up our art from the auction house at no additional cost, and provided fair and competitive shipping rates for the most safe and secure packing for shipping. Our art was beautifully packed and arrived completely unharmed, which is always a relief. We were blown away how simple she made this process, and my hubby and I cannot recommend Popcorn Packers Postal & Shipping Center enough!

My visit was so easy peasy I had to write a review bc oh em gee I could not believe that they haven't been Yelped before! #smalltownusaproblems The gal working recognized my boyfriend which I thought was super sweet and she helped me with my printing and shipping needs effortlessly. A true one stop shop for printing, packaging, and shipping needs.

I saw a flier for Seeds to Sew International advertising a Mata Traders pop up when I was walking…read morearound Hopewell last week. It just so happens that I had heard of Mata Traders and was interested in the fair trade ethics of the company as well as their great dresses and skirts (love me some dresses and skirts with pockets). I stopped into Seeds to Sew International today and am so happy I did! As of April they have a storefront on Seminary Ave (they had been in the back of the store before, which isn't great for foot traffic). I talked to Nina, the Operations Manager, for a bit about the organization and the work they do in Kenya. Seeds to Sew International teaches participants to sew reusable gift bags- so much better than throwing out wrapping paper each holiday- and builds upon those skills so that eventually they are making items like wrap skirts. They also have a beading program and a crafting program, which both use the money earned to pay for girls' education in rural Kenya. I love that I was able to walk away with an item I loved (a skirt with pockets from the Mata Traders pop up) and feel good about where my money went. How often do the products we buy better the world around us? This is a great model that I wish more places would follow. The best part? They'll be having a new pop up each month! Best of luck- I can't wait to see what you do next!

literally, the dumbest idea ever. pay 800$ to put your boxes in one large box that you have to pay…read more$230 dollars for them to bring upto your apartment (how am I supposed to transport a box that is 5 feet by 4 feet by 5 feet??) and throw away. Wasting money. Total sham. I was told 2 weeks, and I wont be getting my stuff until almost 3 weeks. I actually cannot believe I paid these people a dime. Highly unrecommended, unless you like lighting money on fire.

These guys rock!!! They are amazing. They just moved my stuff from NYC to Seattle and they did it…read morebetter and faster than expected. Everything arrived in EXCELLENT condition. They went above and beyond. I JUST unpacked my crate with the paintings that prompted me to use them over a regular mover in the first place and I can't overstate how much care went into packing them. They went the extra mile. Even the guy who delivered the pallets to me in Seattle said he could tell true professionals prepared my shipment. I wish someone had written a review on Yelp! before I found them, it would have put my mind at ease but I really had nothing to worry about. They were quick. I found out I had to move across country 2 days before Thanksgiving! The guy who first took my call was polite and followed up several times to help make sure I could start moving ASAP after the holiday. Then the guys who picked up my stuff were true professionals. Watching them pack my stuff for transport to the warehouse was a thing of beauty. And they were just nice guys on top of it all. Then the guys dealing with my paperwork and the timing of my delivery were equally as nice. I had to store my stuff for a fuzzy amount of time because of problems nailing down a move-in date in Seattle. It was not a problem, even though it was the holiday. My move in date got moved up so they had to trigger my move a week or two early, and they timed it perfectly to the day! I could not move in until a Saturday, they had my stuff in Seattle by the first Monday after I was allowed in my apartment!! (They did this perfect timing miracle starting my shipment the Friday before Christmas and seeing it go across country during the New Years holiday!! They kept me in the loop. They were clear about the storage charges and even gave me a courtesy call before charging my card, even though I knew it was coming. If I ever move back east, I want these guys to take care of my move. Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

I visited Sourland Cycles on May 23rd to have my daughter's bike serviced after it had been sitting…read moreunused for several years. After taking a close look, the team explained that the bike had not been assembled properly originally and that completely disassembling and rebuilding it likely wouldn't be worth the cost. Instead of simply sending us away, the staff at Sourland Cycles went above and beyond. They made all the necessary adjustments right there while I waited, got the bike riding safely again, and then told me not to worry about the cost. Service, care, and genuine kindness can be hard to find these days, but the team at Sourland Cycles demonstrated all three. Their honesty, generosity, and willingness to help left a lasting impression on me. If you're looking for a new bike, repairs, or simply a shop that truly cares about its customers, I highly recommend stopping by Sourland Cycles. Great people and outstanding service!
