So, I walked in to this amazing little shop to send flowers to Brazil!…read moreIt is so full of color and decor that you want to take a look around first, before you order. All the ladies were busy working and let me know from behind a mountain of flowers and plants that they were ready to help when I needed it. I told them. She wasn't sure if they had business ties with that particular country, so she checked. They did not have the ability to send to Brazil, but she gave me a few local shops around town that she thought could help. Now, you know you are getting good service, if a salesperson suggests their competition to you, because they did not have what you asked for. It is great business sense, because it shows they are focused on customer satisfaction! Thank you ladies!! I hope you get lots of rest after Valentine's Day!! See you next time!

I placed an order from CA which had a certain amount of urgency. They were extremely polite and…read moreaccommodating. The order went out within the hour, it was delivered within 20 or 30 minutes and the arrangement was exactly like their photo. I received confirmation of my order immediately, received another email picturing the actual flower arrangement and a 3rd email letting me know it was delivered. Very impressive!! I wish they were local for me; I'd find every excuse to send flowers. Their prices were excellent, their selection was more than ample and their service was superb.

Cute cute shop in Gainesville, FL. I loved that there is a coffee shop here, plant shop, and…read morevintage but funky gifty items. Everyone was very nice here and helpful here. I asked tons of questions about their seasonal drinks and matcha drinks. I decided on a toffee matcha which I enjoyed. They do make their syrups here as well. Definitely a fun shop to check out with local gift items too!

Such a cute, eclectic little coffee shop! It's tucked into a somewhat rundown shopping center, but…read moredon't let that fool you--this place is a gem. The space is cozy with lots of plants, fun gifts to browse, and a few tables both inside and outside. They have a wide variety of coffee options, including seasonal drinks. My latte was fantastic--great flavor, not overly sweet, and made with local honey, which really set it apart. The staff was super friendly and clearly knowledgeable about coffee. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Overall, a great spot for quality coffee with a welcoming vibe. Definitely worth stopping by!

I've always passed this place for years and what caught my eye today was the one of the books I've…read morebeen eyeballing for years was included in the sidewalk sale. I went inside and was surprised on how much of a variety they have for good books besides the big box stores. Literally walls of books. I also thought it was unique how they priced their inventory (paper slip in the book). The fact that I got two books under $10 was a steal. The cashier was welcoming and was working throughout the store. I didn't get any actual pics inside but I'll definitely be back.

The owner sells mostly to architecture and art students, but that is not all he has. He is a painter, and post-industrial lamp-maker! "What is that?", you ask. He takes ordinary objects that people see as junk and turns them into the funkiest one-of-a-kind lamps you will ever see! Some of them look like bugs, some look like robots, and some are just ...well... unique! This place is a Gainesville original!!! He makes his lamps from: guitars, microwave glass plates, fixtures, cars parts, brackets, or most anything that has used up its usefulness (post-industrial), and most people want to throw away! Just to see what he comes up with is amazing! When I was there, he was working on a lamp made from an old tuba! Yes! A TUBA!!!! You have to see this place to understand. He has a corner strewn with parts for his lamps. Wmay see junk, but he sees light!! I bought two jars of paint for my art, shook his hand, and said I'd be back to see hiw the tuba comes out! Check out the pics! Update: I went back amd bought a teach-yourself-to-draw book, and now I am drawing for the first time in my life!! Wow!!

I have to go back, because they are having a serious rebate in battery packs!!

Online purchase of a software package was a dud!…read more EMAIL has not arrived with link for downloading the software I bought at 2:30 today. The item is software that I can download. I have already had 2 chats about this item today and started my 3rd. 1) online system would not let me purchase because it was "out of stock" but it's software, so not a physical thing to stock. System finally allowed purchase. Strangely still shows as backordered. 2) Asked when I'd get the link to download, as I've done this before and it was immediate. Chat response was: should be delivered within 4 hours. 3) 6 hours later since purchase and no email with link to download. The system still shows it is BACKORDERED!! That may be why the link to download has not been sent. The system still thinks its sending a physical thing. This software download process is a Big Fail!

I wanted to leave this as a comment for customer service at Michael's-at-large, but they don't seem…read moreto have a place on their site to do that. So here it is. So, the last time I ordered stuff from this Michael's, they didnt put everything I got with my order, and also included stuff I didn't order (wtf?). I decide to go in-person. Michael's has decided to go the way of stores like Winn-Dixie and Wal-Mart. They'v fired most of the employees. The employees that do work there are underqualified and cannot answer questions adequately, and simply- there are not enough employees working at the store period. I think there was one guy there manning the four front registers. No one actually seen working today in any other department. The four aforementioned registers are now touch screen computers- which are not-at-all intuitive. They begin by asking you numerous annoying questions about giving up your personal information so the company can pester and track you. Then, you notice in horror there is a camera now zeroed in on your face the entire time you are checking out, which is dystopian and makes you feel claustrophobic. It made me feel like the store thinks of me as a criminal. Finally, it was really tough to figure out where to pay- like three different places in the pay area looked like they could have been where you put your card. The whole thing was extremely tedious, depressing and invasive.. as well as deeply dehumanizing. Also whatever happened to customer service- oh wait, it was only ever all about getting our money. I won't be back to Michael's.
