We found precut mat in various sizes that brought the space between the frame and the photos close, but still not quite right. We then came across scrap book paper! Very reasonable and so many options! It worked out great and finally we can proudly display and enjoy the school photos instead of putting them on the fridge with magnets lol! If you have time to wander, this is a fantastic place for Getting ideas for so many organization/decorating/house projects! The staff was friendly and helpful. I should also mention, they do offer custom mats here but for this project, it was not worth the money (these are tiny photos and we will probably re frame new ones next year). They also can custom frame and mat your photos/artwork of Any size!

With that said for whatever reason I have had my due date set as the 13th and just found out that it's actually the 11th . Not sure if that's on me or that it was what it said on my first bill . Either way I talked to 4 people going up the ladder and not one of them was willing to even reverse 2 late fees out of 12 plus months . I will never shop with this company again or any company that isn't willing to try and help to keep a customer . They give 2 shits and their customer service is horrible . Being in the customer service industry for about 40 years I have never encountered a business like this. Also no where does it say that Michael's AKA Comenity Bank that their app is called Bread Financial which in itself is stupid . I have always called or gone onto Comenity.com to make payments yet never knowing this whole time that my actual due date was 2 days earlier asking that anyone who does not shop there or has similar problems please share this . Thank you

I'm taking my full final f*ckin' Karen form on this one. I'll preface by saying I know jack squat about Pokémon cards, nor will I ever claim to. However, my 7-year old son adores Pokémon, is an avid trader and collector among his peers and with his uncle, and prior to this experience, we've been quite fond of this place. Yesterday, he was pumped to get a quote for the value of a handful of cards that he had been excited to receive in trades. Prior to going in, I told him to temper his expectations, and that he would likely receive a much lower quote than he was expecting. I explained what a for-profit business is, and the difference in what they quote and what they turn around to sell is how they pay the bills. I told him if he wasn't satisfied with a quote, he didn't have to do a thing and just hang on to the cards. Still quite shy about approaching any customer service situation, he sheepishly approached the lady behind the Pokémon counter, asking if he might get a quote for the seven cards in his little protective binder. Interrupting him, without even opening his binder or giving a simple glance at any of the cards, the lady said, "Those are all bulk cards and are worthless." This upset me, not because of her opinion, but because of the way she just wrote him off. She gave absolutely no shits about the kid. I asked, "Are you able to tell the value of any given card without knowing which card it is or even seeing the card?" Response from the Smug Pokémon Bitch (a term I avoid using at most costs) : "Oh yeah, just like any other industry, when you've been doing something for this long, you become an expert." We promptly left. Smug Pokémon Bitch appears to be an expert in negative marketing because I'm blasting this experience far and wide. Regardless of the true value of his cards, had she taken the thirty seconds to just take a look at them instead of writing him off simply because he's a child, I wouldn't be wasting the energy or time to type this out. But this warrants the Karenning. Take your business elsewhere. This place can kick rocks.

From funny cartoon costumes to sexy nurses, if you're looking for it the SpookShop probably has it. They also have a huge assortment of Halloween decorations - including life-sized zombies and coffins - to help you make the most out of your H-party. I personally like to go here the day after Halloween, when their clearance sale begins and things are marked down to make them more affordable. Don't expect great service here. The workers are all temporary and very, very busy. Best time to come is in the morning on a weekday, although it's still pretty busy even then!

I cannot possibly praise Irongate Estate/Bellingham Coin Shop more. They helped us to liquidate our…read moreproperty in September 2020. We had a very complex moving situation. We have been in the process of downsizing and moving my parents, during COVID-19, from Point Roberts, WA across the border to Canada. Point Roberts is separated from mainland USA by two borders (in & out of Canada) and, with the border restrictions and safety concerns, the timing couldn't be worse. Also, there is no market for an Estate Sale out of our home, as the Point Roberts community is very small, isolated and practically empty at the moment as it mostly consists of Canadians with a 2nd vacation home who do not currently have access to their properties. Irongate Estate/Bellingham Coin Shop really came through for us and exceeded ALL expectations. The communication and response time was excellent. They showed up on the date expected and were very calm and patient during the stressful, but necessary, process. They gave our generations of belongings a 2nd chance at life as donations or to be sold by their business, rather than being sent to the dump (which was our only alternative option). The owner, R.B. Wick, also appraised the value of my father's coin collection. He was very knowledgeable. Everyone we interacted with was helpful, personable, and empathetic including the owner who came himself on pick-up day. I also appreciated their interest in sustainability and giving back to the community by donating to those in need affected by the recent fires in Washington. I give Irongate Estate/Bellingham Coin Shop 10 out of 10 stars!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the store was open Labor Day weekend, including the Monday holiday. The shop has been moved into the same building as Checkmate Pawn. When you enter the store, take a hard right and head to the very back to find the music section and Checkmate Music counter. Henry assisted me with my request, and provided me with several options. I could buy just the low G string or an entire set of strings. Thankfully, he gave me an honest assessment, and said that my current Aquila strings were in very good condition and didn't need to be replaced at this time. However, he suggested I could buy the whole set and keep the strings as backup. I opted for the single string replacement, which he was kind enough to place on my instrument. He even took the time to show me how it was done. He also recommended I hold onto my existing high G string in case I want to put it back on my instrument at a later date. In general, I don't like to patronage pawn shops because I think they enable thieves to unload stolen goods, but since I didn't know the music store was now tucked into the pawn shop, I ended up doing business there. Fortunately, I had great service which cost me less than $5 and 10 minutes of my time.

Lots of Mexican and Haitian wall hangings, too. Quietly sitting in the corner was Jackie who was so quiet we didn't know she was there until we asked a question, and who allowed us to browse in the very small space of the store.
