Here's my story: I had bought a new leather belt and I needed additional holes punched into it. A few years back I was facing a similar scenario and the clerk at that store in the US actually charged me a couple Dollars per hole. I've been extremely wary of shoe repair stores ever since and so I actually asked how much they would charge for such a simple action (which literally takes like 10 seconds per hole). Here's their answer: "Oh, just put a donation in the charity box!" I loved that answer so much, that I immediately stripped of the belt and handed it over...in the end I donated a pound per hole.

When we decided to get another lock added to our front door, I began doing some research on the…read moreMLA (Master Locksmiths Association) website, so we could be assured that we'd be getting someone qualified to do the job. I found several vetted companies that were nearby, so I set out to deciding what kind of lock I'd like. We decided that we wanted something that automatically locks when we leave and close the door. I did some research and was looking at a particular Yale lock, and called the companies on my list to get prices for the lock and installation. North London Locksmiths was 5th on my contact list, I believe. The gentleman that answered the phone was happy to assist (they certainly all weren't thrilled to speak to me, that's for sure - A few acting like I was putting them out by contacting them to consider them for the job). He asked why I was interested in the Yale lock, and that they have a lock by ERA that is virtually the same, but much less expensive and much better quality, by his estimation. He advised that I look up that lock and to feel free to contact them back. I did some research, and decided that was the way to go. The savings of the money, plus the fact that he brought it up in the first place gave me a lot of trust in his business, so we set-up the appointment for the following-day. The installation took about an hour, and he did have to cut a bit out of our door frame to fit it in, but he did a nice job with filling the hole. Unless you look really closely, you can't even tell. All-in-all, we were very happy, and we really like the new lock.

I have just been to collect my husband's shoes and I was treated terribly…read more Unfortunately, my husband lost his ticket. I apolgised but the response was 'what, do you expect me to spend my time, like a mug, looking for your shoes?'. I can only assume that the guy (manager? Surely not!) was annoyed that they'd had to resole my husband's shoes for free because the first job they'd done wasn't good enough, because he followed up with, 'I work for free and then you lose your ticket. How ironic'. [Note, the tone was a sneering one]. When I told him I was shocked at his treatment of me, he said, 'I can speak to you how I like because I am a man; I am THE man; I own this shop. Now, bye bye then, off you go!' and he gestured me off the premises with his hands. I'm eight months pregnant and probably a bit hormonal ( cried when I left the shop) but another customer came to ask me if I was ok. She also said that she found the same guy extremely rude, but went there because, so far, they'd done an ok job. I can only guess that the customer service is ok so long as you don't complain ... Friends and family say they will no longer use their services. Looks like Callis will have to 'repair' their brand, as well as their customers' shoes ...
