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.

My adult son and I pickled out a couple items that I thought I wanted to purchase for our friends that helped us with writing my husband's Caring-bridge . I made an effort to return 2 days later before my husband was discharged from St. Mary's and I went in to purchase an item and have it wrapped and the sales person said she was alone and she would not be able to wrap it for me. I understand. She maybe could have asked if I could come back in a bit? I said that I understood but could she maybe put the wrap in the bag so I could wrap the gift my self and she said "no" we have a certain standard to our wrapping. "Ok." I said. I did not then need the item. We drove home from our Mayo visit and I bought the item on line and wrapped it myself last night. I would have preferred to have purchased it there at the store and have had a nice experience..
