The staff is friendly but really pushy in getting people in the lineups to the checkouts when they are unsure about making a purchase. The store smells and security guards are always there to oversee that someone isn't shoplifting their junk there. I just bought a jacket there. Although it was warm it was a bit smelly and ripped at the cuffs. the fur was shedding and fluff would be flying in the air as I walked. I don't know why I bought it!

Dots is a pretty decent liquidation store…read more There are two locations in Edmonton; the other one is a much larger location located just north of Oliver Square against the cemetery. All Dots are like a thrift store version of Winners so you need to have time to hunt for the Easter Eggs or hidden treasures. Currently they have some pretty wicked novelty clearance items from Urban Outfitters as well as jewellery/accessories from Urban Outfitters. They have clothing brands from all over the world and they get progressively marked down; sign up for their emails for advance notice of sales and e-mail exclusive coupons. This is a great place for discounted books (I seriously found Choose Your Own Adventures in reprint at the other location for $3!!!!). They consistently have Dex clothing liquidations and other random brands including boutique brands. Today they had Eddie Bauer feather filled mittens! Definitely try your clothing on here though they do have a short 2 week exchange policy. They carry swimsuit 2 piece items throughout the year and usually around the $4-$8 price point. They carry the most random assortments but from time to time you'll find vinyl records, holiday greeting cards with the F-bomb in them, and funky magnets/office supplies. I've found sassy note pads here, great books for presents, hats galore (and usually about $5), runners for my kids (prices vary but cheap, cheap), and dresses for my daughter for under $5. Basically, you need to come here to figure out if this store is for you but plan on having some time to wander around and not be in a rush.

You know how, listening to the radio all the time (it doesn't seem to matter which station, just…read moreanything FM), you always hear about the blowout sales at Dots? They go something like this: "Get down to Dots for the biggest blowout sale of the season! Mexx! Rock'n'Republic! Some other well-known brand name! Now a lesser-known brand name! Even lesser-known brand name! What is that, I've never even heard of that brand name! Jeans are $10! Shirts are $2! You can't miss this!" So, you can see why I was always a little bit skeptical. Why would I want jeans for $10? Those have to be knock-offs, or just terrible quality. Plus it never sounded like they carried a ton of brands I was super into. But I was having a girly day the other day (I know, that seems to be a theme in a lot of my reviews) and on my way back into the city from South Common I spotted Dots. Why not? I had half an hour to kill. Here's the thing about Dots. I can totally understand why someone would absolutely hate shopping here. It's like shopping at Winners, only more frustrating. The clothes are jam packed onto rack upon rack. And there are just so many racks. The items are helpfully organized by brand (and sometimes size as well), but that doesn't negate how completely overwhelming it is to walk in here. I would say that 95% of the clothes in Dots are things I would never wear. They're either off-trend, aimed at an older demographic, poor quality, or just plain ugly. But if you take your time, this place can be magic. I found the most beautiful dress I think I've ever seen. Regular $130 (and supposedly, would be more at other stores) marked down to $30. Bought it! Now, the zipper was broken, which cost me another $40 at the tailor's (I know, total rip-off, but that's a whole 'nother review), but that's still almost a 50% discount. Not too shabby. I also found two other very cute, age-appropriate modern working girl kind of tops. They were both really inexpensive and really pretty! I don't think I'll have the patience to shop here often, but it was definitely worth it to come by, and when the mood strikes me (and the sales are on), I'll be back.

I was pleasantly surprised by the array of jewellery available by local artists. The store was bright, airy, modern, and fresh! I loved the tree at the entrance to the store used to display local jewellery! I found most of the clothing a little out of my price range - but many beautiful pieces none the less. I ended up purchasing a gorgeous little change purse after drooling over dozens and dozens of items. Especially when on the hunt for a unique piece of jewellery for myself or a gift, I will definitely be returning to this store when in the area!

I've found this location to be very hit and miss for variety, sizes, and customer service…read more My most recent trip here was during boxing week. I had ordered about $200 of clothes online for the kids for Christmas in November. Upon my daughter unwrapping one of the items, we discovered that the security tag was on the item DESPITE it being an item mailed to us from shopping online. I came in to the store and asked to have the security tag removed from my online order. The look and treatment we were given, was quite disappointing. Almost as though we were being accused of shoplifting. The woman (who I believe to have been a shift supervisor or manager) was quite harsh in tone and said repeatedly that they wouldn't take it off without the receipt. I suggested to her that we call the Gap 1-800 number so they could look up my order and confirm to her that I had paid because I had long ago recycled all the packaging/invoice in November. Eventually she agreed to just take the tag off, I guess she didn't want to call the 1-800 number but the treatment we received and the tone that we were spoken to was quite disappointing. We had planned on buying some other stuff there that day but my husband was having none of that after our experience. So we walked just around the block to Osh Kosh Carters and Justice and happily boxing day shopped there. This most recent experience would be a 2 star for sure but I'll still give it a 3 overall.

They have their own brand of clothes but they also carry some of the more prominent brands in women's fashion (like Anne Klein). The clothes here are expensive. And, I have to admit, the clothes here are not my cup of tea. They seem to targeted towards an older audience. Let me correct myself, and older and richer audience. I see women in their 40s wearing these clothes. I'm not really into them. The staff are pretty nice. I walked in and was greeted right away. Someone asked if they could help ,e find anything and then backed off when I said I was just taking a look around. It's decent. Not really my thing though.

If I had unlimited disposable income, I would spend days and nights at Blu's...shopping. For me,…read moreBlu's is a miniature version of Holt Renfrew. The clothes sold here are just as fantastic and equally expensive. Blu's carries their own brand of clothes manufactured in Canada as well as brands such as Hugo Boss, Burberry and Anne Klein. Although the selection is not very big, all items are carefully selected, and look elegant and posh. Some of the clothes are geared towards older women but most of the items are for modern urbanites. In addition to clothes, Blu's sells belts, hosiery, gloves and scarves. I wish Blu's did two things: have more sales and improve the quality of customer service. Sales ladies ignored my presence every single time I was there. That's unacceptable for a place that sells such upscale and elegant clothing.

I bought a few items online and didn't like one particular piece, so as per Laura 'policy', I went into the store to make an exchange/ refund. I walked in and the staff treated me like a POS. I actually had to ask one of the staff members to stop glaring at me. The 'Manager' was gone on holidays and her replacement didn't have a CLUE about what she was doing! She told me exchange only. Okie dokie, I looked around the store and found something I could live with, but not ideal. It took the staff about 20 minutes to figure out how to do an online exchange. When I finally got impatient with their ignorance I just asked for a credit. (Not even my money back, just a simple credit,) No go, nope, no way, can't do it. (I am getting madder by the second because now you are just wasting MY time). Anyhoo, because they couldn't figure it out I walked out with a sweater I wasn't in love with and stopped... Wait. Why would I pay for something I really didn't want? So I call Laura CS and the Rep who answered was fabulous. She told me that indeed, they could just issue a gift card in exchange. So, I go back into the store and the Managerial replacement avoided me like the plague (I had to chase her down). I kept the CS Rep on the phone and the acting Manager STILL wouldn't come over and speak with her. I finally convinced her to speak to Laura CS. CS walked her through it and we completed our return/ exchange/ credit transaction. Walked out with my credit and it will be a cold day in hell before I go to this location again. Sorry for the huge review 'swing', but Customer Service is everything, and this experience was awful!
