I wanted a favor for my wedding that people would actually use (or eat). My man is a big nerd and…read morehe is constantly buying multi phone chargers for friends at work and friends in general. Basically if he hears you mumble "damn I lost my cord", or "I left my charging cord at home, anyone have a spare?" he buys them like candy off Amazon in sets of 10 and just hands them out. He's a good guy. Anyway I keep hearing 2 things: 1) Multi phone chargers are the "hot" give-a-ways at conferences 2) That Wedding favors are a big waste of money - but not if they are good So that was my mission, to get these things at a good/fair price and in a small (50-60) qty figuring only 75% of my guests would take one. I work in marketing so you would think I could pull a good vendor favor or two, but nope, my "regular guy" not only felt pestered by my puny request, he could only do 100 minimum qty. Let me just say he is no longer my "regular guy" because Courtnie at Creative Marketing Concepts now is my regular gal! Courtnie was a doll, not only did she work with me on quantity and price, but she also offered to have her team do the artwork for our wedding favors at $0 extra..sweet deal - I think I scored the "Courtnie discount" too. shhhh...don't tell her I told you. I am going to have a "phone charging station". .. (called a "Power Bar") at the wedding, so these favors will be displayed there. Another cool wedding task checked off the list! The chargers arrived within 2 weeks and were delivered easy peasy to my office via UPS.

It is very clear to me that CMC intentionally withheld the truth about our order delays to prevent…read moreus from canceling our order. They did not inform us of the true status (that the vendor was out of stock) until after it had imposed a high cost to our organization. We have placed three separate orders with CMC, all of which have gone badly. 1 - Order for 27 embroidered Marmot jackets 2 - Order for 100 branded pens 3 - Order for 180 American Apparel t-shirts 1. JACKETS: We ordered 27 Marmot jackets on Dec 19. We were initially told they would arrive by Jan 5, and then the expected delivery continued to slip. We were then told we would have them in time for our January 22 holiday party. If at any point we had been told that the delay would have been months, we'd have ordered a different brand or gone with another vendor. Instead, we were constantly told that everything was in order and delivery would be in 1-2 weeks. On Feb 27, I told our rep that if the jackets did not arrive soon, we'd need to cancel our order. He replied that they would arrive by March 7. I followed up on Mar 3, and our rep said everything was still on track. On Mar 24, our rep told us the delivery date was still uncertain and we could order different brands. He provided a few options, none of which were name-brand or high quality, so he later offered us Patagonia jackets. We tried on a few jackets and picked the style, and on Apr 12 we sent our new order. On Apr 20, we sent a follow up email since we hadn't heard back from our rep, and a few days later we called. Our rep NEVER told us that the jackets were out of stock until 3 months later. In fact, he constantly promised us delivery dates 1-2 weeks out. We followed up with him almost weekly, and he continued to assure us the jackets would arrive soon. I don't believe he even mentioned any problems with strikes until February. At that time, he told me that the jackets were DONE and on a boat for delivery. Later we hear they are out of stock - this means he blatantly lied when he said the jackets were ready to go and just delayed at port. It was not until March that he indicated the jackets might never arrive. 2. PENS Lest you think we're idiots for trusting CMC a second time - the one compensation CMC offered us for the incredible delays was a free order of pens, which we decided to take him up on. We placed an order about 2 weeks before our conference (for which we needed pens). Five days before the expected delivery date, we were told the vendor was out stock. Rather than find a similar alternative, he suggested a different style pen, in a different color (silver), with a different color logo (black). It wasn't until I called him for 30 minutes, that he found another black, metal pen with silver logo. Luckily, he was able to expedite the replacement order, and they arrived the day I was leaving for the conference. Only every pen was empty - no ink cartridges. Yes, 100 pens without ink. 3. T-SHIRTS While the jackets were processing (and so before we had any idea of the problem), we also placed an order for 180 American Apparel t-shirts on March 16. This order was also delayed several times and finally arrived on April 21. During this time, I ended up needing to place a rush order with CustomInk online, and they were able to deliver my shirts to me in less than a week. As of today, May 1, I still don't have any jackets. I did insist that CMC provide a discount on our next order and include jackets for the new employees who have joined since our original order. (Since these were a holiday gift, we only ordered enough for the current employees, but arriving six months later, we have new employees and it would be awkward for them not to get a jacket.) I spoke directly to the CEO, who went so far as to blame our organization for a delay in getting the sizes to them. He claims that because of our delay, their vendor ran out of sizes. Rarely does the CEO of a company blame the customer for the problem. But this doesn't explain the complete lack of communication, transparency, and honesty from CMC. I certainly suggest you avoid doing business with this company.

The place on the outside looks like a small faded clothing store / travel agency. It turns out the travel agency no longer exits but the main draw for the obsolete looking little shop is: Helene!! Or as I call her, Ms Tran (must always be respectful). I have never experienced such incredibly reasonable prices for the type of alterations that she does. My first encounter with her was to purchase a funky ankle length skirt but when I complained that it flared too much, she said she would alter it for me, right there and then free of charge if I brought the skirt. I was still skeptical but she did it! I've since brought all of my alterations there and even referred her to friends. She gives a discount sometimes if you bring in a lot of goods. And she does everything swiftly. To boot, she is really nice. I'm almost afraid to write a good review for her because she won't be such a secret anymore but I had to do it. She is that good. She deserves the acknowledgment.

A few places were open, but as it turns out, several stores are closed on Mondays. We were a bit sad, but made the most of our time by peaking in the windows and doing as much "shopping" as we could from outside. As we peered into Kenlynn, choosing shoe after shoe after shoe to check out next time, a woman appeared at the door and welcomed us in. "If a woman is admiring shoes, I know she needs to come in!" she exclaimed as we thanked her for taking the time just for us. It turns out Kenlynn is an artist, and her media are knits and jewelry. She has an incredible collection of fine customizable knits to choose from, and some beautiful chunky jewelry as well. But for me, a true shoe lover, the footwear was the star. She carries some of my favorite brands: Calleen Cordero, Freda Salvador and Coclico, among others. All well-chosen styles for the modern woman who likes to be current, classic, and cool. She was patient and helpful and warm and passionate about her merchandise. I wanted to buy everything, but this time I left with just one pair of Calleen Corderos that are available only at her store because she had the style customized just for her. A cool textured leather across the toe livens up the already killer style. Good design eye, Kenlynn! I am so happy to have discovered this shop and its delightful owner. As a lover of interesting, not-your-basic-off-the-rack stuff, I'm thrilled to have this new store in my Marin shopping repertoire.
