I have been going to Grand Jete on and off since I was 11 and dancing in a serious way. The service…read moreis as always knowledgeable, I find that now that I know what I need and what I am looking for it's not as intimidating as it used to seem. Considering the size of the location, they have packed in so much stuff and displayed it in a useful way. I don't know how they do it. The value might not be the price you can get it for online at a discount dance place but the ability to try things on and get assistance with size and fit is something that can't be beat. For that reason alone till you figure out what you need and what it should feel like go to grand jete and get the help to get what you need.

Last fall I went to Grand Jeté from an hour away to get fitted for pointe shoes. I signed up for an…read moreindividual fitting, but since there was a large group ahead of me the fitting started fifteen minutes late, and the fitter was working with another dancer at the same time. The shoes she put me in were too big and caused pain in my pinky toes. Luckily I did not get injured, but correct sizing is really important and these shoes could have been much worse than they were! The selection of products is good, but this store really needs to work on their fittings.

I visited this unique store in the Galleria at the time of the winter sidewalk sale and came across…read morethe cutest selection of shoes, clothing, jewerly and everything in bewteen.

This store formerly called Exquisite Leather and Luggage STOLE OVER $300 FROM ME. I purchased 3…read moresmall leather purses and specifically asked and received permission to return them by a date beyond the usual return date. Upon my return of the purses within the allotted time, the clerk gave me a hand written receipt showing the purses were returned and also showing my purchase that day of a pair of shoes. The returned purses were to be credited against the shoe purchase. By mistake the clerk charged me again for the returned purses as well as for the new shoe purchase. A few months later when I realized what the clerk had done, I brought the handwritten receipt into the store, and a copy of my credit card bill. I explained the lack of credit for the purses and that they had been again charged to me a second time. The manager that day accused me of stealing the purses and shoes despite my showing the handwritten receipt from their store signed by their clerk and my charge card statement. The manager refused to give me my $300 plus, or a credit or the purses back. The returned three purses were all visible in the store that day. When I talked with the owner she lied and said she had no way of checking her inventory to see whether or when the purses were returned. So she too refused to refund my $300 plus, give me a credit or give me back the purses. The owner also said since I had not brought this to her attention earlier, even if I was telling her the truth, she would not give me back my money, a credit or the purses. Even a year later I noted the store still had two of the purses for sale which I had returned. The clerk told me they had only originally ordered one of each purse and these were from the original order not reordered by the store. That is these two purses were the ones I had returned which the owner said she had no way of tracing. LIES AND FRAUD were all this store was good for.

I had a very frustrating and disappointing experience with this business. Their website clearly…read morestates that furniture and large items should be emailed ahead of time for approval, so I followed those instructions exactly. I emailed Jes with multiple pictures of a storage cabinet and end table - both in very nice condition - and asked, "do you take pieces like this?" Her response was a simple "yes." Based on that confirmation, my husband and I went through the trouble of getting a trailer, loading the items, and even taking time off work to deliver them. However, when we arrived, Jes refused to accept the pieces. When my husband showed her the email where she had said "yes," she claimed that she didn't mean "yes" she would take those exact items. When pressed, she admitted she "probably should have been more clear." This was extremely unprofessional and a complete waste of our time, effort, and money. To make matters worse, she also complained that our trailer was blocking her alleyway, despite the fact that we were there because of her prior approval, and had pulled the trailer over far enough that cars could get by. Clear communication, respect and accountability are basic expectations in any business, and this experience fell far short. I will never be returning and would caution others to think twice before relying on their process.
