Art Signal - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Maynard, Massachusetts

Please update your business profile. Drove half an hour to browse DVDs to find out you're mainly a pottery store. Couldn't even browse the DVDs aisles because the floors were covered in pottery orders, could not even move around. read more

Went here for the first time today. Huge, really interesting. Tons of pottery and the prices are reasonable. The staff are really friendly and well versed in art/pottery. Used to be a DVD rental store so there's cool memorabilia all over the place and cook book and other stuff. Wish I could give 6 stars because of the 2 Yorkie puppies running around. read more

Very cute store. Nothing negative to say. Staff were friendly and informative. I would go again. read more

Art Signal - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Maynard, Massachusetts

See all

This store is absolutely incredible. The workers are so nice and accommodating. They can help you with any questions you have. The store itself has the widest variety of pottery and activities for you, your family, or a big party to be apart of. I'm constantly coming here to take to go kits home and do my pottery at my own pace. If you're looking to pick up a hobby or a new activity, I would definitely give this place a try. read more

I can't say enough positive things about our experience here! I booked a private event for a simple evening of painting with a group of friends. The staff was incredibly attentive...starting with clear instructions at the beginning, then continuing with different staff members checking in through out. I liked how you can really make the evening your own in their private event space...you can hook up your own music and bring whatever food/drinks you would like. Great experience! read more

We love this place. We have the monthly plan and some months we rent tons of videos, some months none. It's still worth it. It's easy to get to in Maynard and a 2 minute walk from home, so it's just as easy as streaming for us. They have a huge selection -- even obscure stuff. You sometimes have to ask because it's in a weird place. It's fun to browse, but I'm old fashioned that way. Most often there are young people working there and I have always found them nice and attentive (despite other reviewers concerns). Owners are nice, cute little dog that is always underfoot, and they have a little kid who sits and watches movies when they work. It's very charming to me, as is the somewhat messy stacks of books all over the place. We have also done the painted pottery there and it was fun. The employee at the time (Jake) was very attentive and professional despite having to run the whole place by himself. We descended on him with a group of 8 adults/teens that they weren't expecting (I did call, but message didn't get passed along). The pottery is expensive, you pay for the experience. It also takes a long time to get it back, so it doesn't work too well for gifts unless you really think ahead. Every once in a blue moon I buy a book from them if something by the door catches my eye. But I would say the book sales have the least appeal for me. read more

I'm new to the area and recently went to Video Signals to rent some blue rays. I had a good enough experience when renting them; the man behind the counter was friendly and he offered me the subscription which I was considering signing up for since I watch a lot of movies. I rented 2 movies and about half way into the second one the movie started to skip and was all pixilated. When I went to return my movies, I brought it to the girl behind the counter's attention. All she said to me was "oh, I'll let them know." And picked up the phone to talk to what sounded like a friend. Seriously? I didn't even get to see the whole movie that I paid for, and she didn't even offer me another one or apologize or anything! Horrible customer service and she seemed high or something. Definitely not wasting my money on a subscription now. I'll stick to on demand movies. read more

They have an art studio inside. With awesome classes for both kids and adults. Paint your own pottery. Glass fusing. Jewelry. The art studio acts as a "camp" on all those weird miscellaneous days that kids don't have school but the parents have to work. I would love to return for a glass fusing class. I take off 1 star for 2 reasons. First - everything has to be kiln fired, so you have to go back for pick up. No instant gratification. And second - let's be honest - how many hand painted pottery items do we really need in our house??? read more

Signed up for an advertised Christmas night with friends. Most people were painting Christmas trees, which we signed up for ahead of time. As we all started painting our extremely overpriced trees, we were informed that the studio was out of the green paint that most of us were using and we would have to come back. Who doesn't have the green tree paint ready for a large group that signed up for trees???? We were informed that this often occurs at this studio, which by the way is hardly a studio. We were painting in the back room of a dirty DVD rental store. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

So after a number of wonderful experiences dealing with the clerks at video signals in maynard I was appalled at the service provided. Today I was sold a faulty toy without packaging. Upon light use the toy broke. Unhappy with the quality of the item, I returned to the store with broken item in hand and proceeded to receive the worst customer service from a person in charge that I have gotten in a long time. Without going into the full details, the highlights being a poor attitude, being blamed for the toy breaking and a dismissive attitude when expressing my disappointment with the service I received. Hopefully they can learn from this experience and provide future customers better service. read more

Went to the art Studio inside for a fundraiser-Art Signals-amazing loved my project and Jesse was so patient with all of us. Trust me I needed that extra guidance and she gave it to me! Defiantly will be going back for another fun time with family and friends. Saundra is so great she always is so pleasant and understanding. One of my guests for this last project could not make it after she signed up and Saundra told her no worries and gave her a credit to come back at another time to do any project she wanted. Great customer service. Some of the ladies could not finish their projects when we went again no worries come back and finish Saundra takes extra steps to put the unfinished project in a safe place. Thank you for the great time ArtSignals. read more

This place is awesome! So nostalgic to stand around in front of the New Releases and pick a movie in a physical store, just like the olden' days. And they have a huge selection, every genre on the planet including categories like British TV, documentaries, Shakespeare, etc, etc. They also have a ton of used books (which are a little overpriced for used, but catch a sale and the price is OK), and pottery painting, which looks fun for kids and groups. The couple that own the place and most employees are very nice and helpful. Yes, the place is mildly disheveled with piles of videos and books, but titles are in their computer system for checking on. If you want "perfect order", visit a giant corporate conglomerate who can afford 50 employees and then don't complain when all the store fronts in your town are empty. This place has character and is fun. I would give this place 5 stars anyway, but especially to even out the not-so-understanding yelpers who give horrible scores because the occasional millennial struggles with customer service principles? (It ain't easy training those young uns! And they're everywhere...) I know exactly who one yelper is talking about (girl who spoke loudly on personal calls - and I don't see her anymore) but this is a tiny Mom & Pop operation, finding minimum wage type help for a place open so many hours per day must be challenging. (And how were they to know she was doing that, when she was the only person in the store when doing it?) I hope next time these yelpers will try to reach a manager directly to complain about a specific employee before putting a permanent 1 or 2-star scar on a charming, funky place that is doing a great job otherwise of being a family and community oriented business. It is one of many stores adding value to Maynard. read more

Awful customer service. Cara was rude and disoriented when I came to the store with my issue. Will not be returning.

Much prefer browsing in person. But...you can search and reserve on line, which is great. Love the flat monthly rate, multiple rental option. Staff loves talking movies and so do I. read more
