Bought a Ruger Mark IV upper from Volquartsen and had them shorten and thread it. When the upper…read morearrived, it did not fit without forcing it, and it did not work. It appeared to me to be a factory second. I sent it back and Volquartsen promptly refunded my money, minus $35 for shipping. So, I'm out $35 for shipping to me, I'm out another $35 for shipping it back to them, and I'm out another $20 for the background check, a total of $90 not counting the driving back and forth to the FFL dealer and mailing business, and I have NOTHING to show for it. I won't be making any more purchases from them, ever. There are other manufacturers like Kidd and Tandemkross that I will buy from.

I own several Volquartsen pistols, ranging from an older V2000, as well as a Scorpion and a Black…read moreMamba. I run these guns pretty hard, because I shoot 7 days/week, except for the rare occasion when I cannot make it to the range. Over the 6 years that I've owned a Volquartsen, there have been maybe 3 occasions where I needed to send them a pistol for repair. Considering how many rounds these pistols have sent down range, I have no problem with having to do this once in a while. Each time I needed them to diagnose and repair one of their pistols, they handled it quickly, and went way above and beyond with their service.

Super cool place! Owner was super nice and friendly. Wide range of different cool things. Check it…read moreout

I'd revisit it again if I was in the area. Grand opening was on March 18th. Could improve over time. Might get a higher rating if I was local. Definitely not worth the drive from the Des Moines metro solely to visit Thrift World. A stop at Tojo's in Jamaica and Gilroy's Antiques in Jefferson saved the trip.

The owner is 95, sweet as apple pie, and will unfortunately be closing her business next summer. Art deco glass, vintage dinnerware, vintage tools, smalls of every kind, furniture, etc. Stuff in here is stacked and packed. In some aisles it's tough to turn around. Just back out slowly. If you can't find something here to take home you were just window shopping to begin with. A real hidden gem of a shop.

I am beyond thrilled with this business! I took my wedding ring to a nationally known jewelry store…read morein West Des Moines and was given a quote of $563 to repair it. I stuck it in a drawer and did nothing with it due to the cost. A friend told me to try a local jeweler so I went to Royal Jewelers since it is a block from work. It did take quite awhile to get the repair done (4 months), but it was well worth it! It is gorgeous and perfect and the quote was only $70!! He said he had to do a little more gold work than he thought once he started working on it. I offered to pay more because of that, but he would not hear of it. Great experience!

Love, love this shop. Can always find treasures, new or vintage. Staff is friendly and helpful.read more

I couldn't get enough of that seasonal Christmas candles. These would make amazing gifts for the holidays. While wandering the store I found two ceramic glitter snow birds that I had to take home. All of the clearance last season items were located in the restroom area. Usually all marked down 20 to 50%. When we went to leave, all of the barn cats were wandering the parking lot. Some were very friendly. Stop on by if you're looking for a unique gift for someone. Can't wait to be back to see what new items they have come in!
