He would only sell me three papers. In addition, rather than taking the opportunity to offer his condolences, he choose to utter a smart assed remark about not selling me the copies I needed by saying, "it's tough to be a newstand if we have no newspapers." The fact wouldn't sell me the copies I needed was inconvenient. His callous and smart ass attitude is what will keep me from supporting, what otherwise, would be a business I would normally love to support.

So keep an eye out for it, as you drive. Today, was my first time at Six-Corners neighborhood in many, many years and I'm glad that I made the trip to it. This store is very well stocked with magazines and many types of magazines that you don't find at a Jewel-Osco magazine rack or check-out aisle. Being a film buff, I was glad to find "Cinema-Retro" magazine as well as several discounted hardcover books. Today, I spent $134 here on magazines & books and I had a good time doing it. I was able to browse without interruption until I found the items that I wanted to purchase. The check-out clerk was very helpful and polite, the place was very clean, very well lit and the magazine racks were very well organized. There's also a small coffee shop in the store. Great place - 5 stars!

There was an event happening that prevented me from sitting down and enjoying my cup near the front, but I did leave with several mags. Prices and variety of mags was good and I hope they get more into indies beyond just European mags. Can't wait to take the bus over here again and again!

I'm writing this review based on an experience that I had here trying to ship a package via fedex…read moreground. They are listed on the fedex website as an authorized shipping center for express or ground shipping and are substantially closer to my apartment than the fedex kinkos on southport. I decided to give it a try. To make a long story short, they didn't seem to know that you need a different form for fedex air and ground, and insisted that if I just wrote "ground" on the box and the airbill form, everything would be ok. They also didn't give me any receipts or scan anything or give me a total cost (even though I was billing to the recipient). Later that night, I looked online and the tracking # hadn't been entered into the system. I ended up calling fedex customer service, who told me that the ground driver wouldn't have taken the package with the incorrect slip. But, Homnay never called to tell me this. I called them the next morning and they confirmed that, shockingly, we had used the wrong form and could I come over and fill out the correct form. I went over there, and she explained that it was the wrong form, but then wanted to try sending it with that form again! I wasn't up for another round of this game, so I took my package to the fedex kinkos, where I was able to fill out the correct form, get a receipt, and see something entered into the computer before my very eyes! They seemed nice at this location but really don't know what they're doing. I emailed fedex to express my concerns, but really, don't waste your time trying to send anything from here that you actually want to be delivered.

I had bought a tow bar from Roy Rodgers Parts from Little Rock, Arkansas, they used FedEx Ground to…read moreship it. The tow bar never came, after several phone calls to Roy Rogers Parts as well to FedEx. FedEx stated that it was delivered and when they gave me the address it was the wrong address. So informed them they had the wrong address, there response was it was delivered and that was it. There was nothing else they where going to do about it I was told on the phone. So they never corrected there error I never got my tow bar. As for Roy Rodgers Parts they where no better at helping me fix there mistakes. So I'm out $250 but FedEx and Roy Rogers Parts got my money and I got the finger from both. So Beware if you are shipping or getting something from FedEx it may never get there or show up.

I then got the paper the following week. Fast forward a week later, and guess what? No paper again. 4 weeks of no paper. Called to cancel the service and they said they wouldnt give me a refund because my account was credited 3 papers. What good does being credited a paper do if I didnt receive them in the first place. I essentially went an entire month of no papers that I paid for and I dont get a refund? How hard is it to deliver a paper?

Browsing for books is one of my favorite past times and I could have spent a loooot of time in here. Being a mom to a two year-old I especially love looking for new books for him. I was able to find one of my favorites here-- where the wild things are. We have since read it every single night before bed for the past two weeks. It continues to be a smash hit. I also grabbed him one of the books from the little critter series that I loved as a kid. He really likes that one too. I only had about 15 minutes to look around, so I definitely need to make another trip to dedicated to finding some books for myself, but I was happy to support this local shop by purchasing some classics for my kiddo.

I have very mixed feelings about this bookstore…read more If you're a big reader of fiction, as I am, you'll find the selection to be first-rate. There are large sections devoted to Penguin Classics, Modern Library, NYRB, and so forth, and a good selection of mystery, horror and science fiction novels. But the non-fiction side of the shop is pathetic. The guiding principle seems to be, "we only stock books that will make our readers comfortable. Books that will tell them what they already think they know. Books that won't challenge them. Books that will teach them nothing new." The entire purpose is to offer customers only those world views that they're already in agreement with -- uniformly Leftist, naively "socialist," anti-capitalist, and anti-Western civilization. And, needless to say, there's a heavy emphasis on sentimental Palestinianism. It's a suffocatingly narrow-minded approach. A bookshop should be a place to discover new ideas and new perspectives. Not a place to have one's dated orthodoxies and narrow-minded perspectives confirmed. If you're in search of books that will confirm your biases and comfort you in your prejudices, it's the bookstore for you. If you want to be intellectually challenged, you'd be better off going to Barnes and Noble, which carries a wide range of authors with differing viewpoints. (Yes, a "big chain" bookstore is more indie than the indie competition!) It has wider aisles too, and friendlier and less condescending clerks.
