I preordered a watch and went to pick it up 6 months later. The lady that helped me looked annoyed…read more(I am guessing because she probably doesn't get commission for helping me). She had the biggest fake finger nails on and due to the store policy, she had to peel off all the plastics off of my watch (to prevent reselling she said). She probably left several micro scratches on the watch while doing that because of her fake nails. And what I wrote above so far wasn't even the worst of my experience. Apparently, I was supposed to bring the original credit card I gave them 6 months ago when I pre-ordered the watch(?). I was not told this at all. All they told me was that a credit card was required for them to process the preorder. During the 6 months, I had to cancel and have the card reissued due to a fraudulent transaction (unrelated to this purchase). The lady asked me for the credit card which I no longer had. Then she proceeded to indirectly accuse me of doing something illegal thru her body language and facial expression. That's how I felt anyway even though she did not directly say anything like that. I had to talk to someone in the back (I assume it was a manager) to sort this out (all she had to do was to check my ID and run the transaction onto my new credit card). This was about 4 years ago. I totally forgot about this horrific experience until today (I saw a wrist watch on TV and it randomly reminded me). Avoid this place. They also dangle Rolex watches in their display when they don't even have any for sale to public. Also who are they to tell me what I can what I cannot do with my watch? I am not even a reseller and I thought it was very out of line for them to require to peel off the plastic protectors. And if this is a requirement, the workers here shouldn't be allowed to have long fake nails either. They are lucky I am not picky about little scratches. Places like this totally got me lose interest in watches. I guess I should thank them for saving me thousands last 4years. Btw, I took the watch and got the bracelet resized at their Bellevue location. And they totally butchered one of the links while removing it. Even this, I will add that they are lucky, I don't care too much about things like this. The only good thing from all this was that the watch is beautiful and I still wear it frequently. It was a gift for myself for turning 40, which this store almost ruined.

I peeked into Fireworks Gallery minutes after deplaning in Seattle. Not because I'm an idiot who…read moreshops for souvenirs on the first day of a trip, but because I'm an idiot who forgot to put shoes on her two-year-old before leaving for the airport back home. I kind of thought you could buy most essentials at the airport, but it turns out children's shoes are not a typical travel need, at least when they aren't being worn by traveling children. Fireworks did carry children's slippers, which caught my eye as I passed, as well as a nice assortment of unique, crafty toys and gifts. Unfortunately, my five-year-old followed me into the store and zeroed in on a tiny, colorful finger puppet in the shape of a parrot. He asked me to buy it for him, and I declined, telling him we weren't getting a souvenir before we even left the airport. He was upset by this to the point of tears, but I managed to get us out of there. We had a wonderful time in Seattle, and to his credit, the five-year-old behaved well the whole trip (and the two-year-old got new shoes). When I saw Fireworks Gallery again by our departure gate, I decided at the last possible second to stop in and get him the parrot. It was one of several Folkmanis finger puppets in a wire basket. I picked it up along with a bunny rabbit and went to check out. There was a short line at the register--I guess this shop gets decent traffic--and by the time I was up, my husband was calling to tell me we were boarding. This is how I paid $36.36 for two finger puppets that cost $10 apiece online. Fireworks got me good, but my boys do love their little puppets, which are soft and cute and well made. The wares here are definitely nicer and less generic than at your average airport store. It might cost you, though, if you wander in there with your kids.

FRANKS experience should give warning & share the ugliness to customers about to frequent this store. Maybe my story will serve as a reminder to reconsider purchasing here. At the time or beginning of my story Alvin Goldfarb Jeweler who was an Authorized Dealer for ROLEX in the Pacific Northwest. After doing some research I started frequenting the store looking for a few Rolex watches. Yes , I was very specific in my choices but always given the " NO " you can't have one for over 2 years. I came in every 4 to 6 weeks just to check and " NO" was the mantra of the sales staff. I was always told we have other watches for sale. Like who cares what ya have if ya can't provide what I desire. Now one amazing summer day I saw the $6400 41mm Celebration dial by Rolex in the case. My excitement level increased and I ask if it's for sale? The mantra is now uttered "NO NO NO" ! However something new that day happened and was shared by sales representative, I was actually told if you spend a $1,000,000 in jewelry it should be no issue to get that watch..... Now I was stunned by this statement so much I said are you serious and the person said YES! Well, that seems excessive and ridiculous and no I didn't drop a million to acquire the timepiece. I'll never forgot the arrogance of staff member of Alvin Goldfarb Jewelry and defiantly will not purchase anything from them. OK, now this is the happy ending of the story. I did manage to acquire The Celebration dial by Rolex elsewhere so I have that going for me. And on January 1st 2025 the BIG HAND OF THE CROWN aka ROLEX laid the smack down on ALVIN GOLDFARB & pulled authorized dealership away from store. No longer can they sell ROLEX.... KARMA saw the bad business practices by using Rolex watches to lure you into buying unwanted jewelry or non Rolex branded watches you don't want in order to maybe purchase a Rolex. Well, this is my story my truth & my journey, can you dig it!
