    Wanted to get my winter jacket's zipper repaired. Employee said it was going to take a week to repair, which was fine. Silly me for not asking how much it would cost. Came back a week later to pick up and they charged me $50 JUST for the zipper repair. Definitely NOT worth the $50 I spent to have it fixed. Quality sucks too, SLOPPY!!!!!!! Never going back here!!

    Did not remove old stitches

    So I used this company to resolve a pair of my boots. I had specific instructions regarding these boots. Firstly the cobbler argued with me about what I wanted for MY boots. Ultimately doing it anyway. When I got the boots back the cobbler had not removed the old stitches from the boot before stitching the new midsole on. He also did an incredibly sloppy job with the glue. There are noticeable gaps. HORRENDOUS JOB! I paid $130 for this work. Just awful!!! DO NOT TAKE WORK TO THIS COMPANY!!!!

    1st Shoe Repair did a nice job on the leather backpack strap that had broken. I would certainly use them again.

    had some heels replaced and a pair of suede boots cleaned. They did a great job and the price was great also.

    I had a great experience working with James at New York Jewelers. He is incredibly kind, friendly,…read moreand approachable, which makes the whole process comfortable and enjoyable. James consistently does an excellent job and clearly cares about helping his customers find exactly what they're looking for. He also provides very timely service and is always responsive and helpful whenever I have questions. It's rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a genuine, welcoming attitude. I truly couldn't ask for a better salesperson and would highly recommend working with James if you visit New York Jewelers. Thank you James!!!

    My go-to store for jewelry repairs and watch battery change-outs closed, so I decided to stop by…read moreNew York Jewelers as their business hours during weekdays are generous, and the location is convenient. I had a thin, gold-plated necklace with beads that had broken when it was taken off of the card that held it. The repair that was needed would most likely involve some form of soldering the two pieces together, and I had an amount in mind that I would be wiling to pay given that this is more of a "fun" piece and not fine jewelry. When I walked into New York Jewelers, I was promptly greeted and shown upstairs, to the repair area. The woman behind the counter took the necklace and consulted with a gentleman in the back. I had errands nearby to run, but decided to stick around to get an estimate of time and cost. Initially, I was told this could not be done, but it turned out that the two pieces were somehow able to be soldered together. The cherry on top of this experience is that all of this was done at no charge! The woman who helped me said that after the fusing procedure, a slight bump could be seen between the gold plated portion and a bead. What she was pointing out was imperceptible to my eye. I was so pleased with the level of service, speed, and professionalism that I will be back here to get a battery put in my watch and for any other repairs when the time comes.
