I love this little store! They host Magic, the Gathering games and do Pokémon pre-orders. I thought…read moreit was awesome to hear that they also support local small businesses by carrying their products in store. The staff is really nice and knowledgeable. They price everything pretty fairly. My son got a good deal on some cards. They were priced about $5-$10 below market. I always visit when I come to the area.

Really cool store, had some realpy cool 3D prints. Nice games its always cool to see people sell…read morenes game, wii games, and ps4. The selection of cards were all over the place they had anime cards, pokemon cards, and magic. My only complaint was there was an individual who didnt even work there following us and being a little too close for comfort.

This fly-by-night card store sold me products on their website that were paid in full. I drove over…read more100 miles (gas, time, and wear on my vehicle) to pick up my order in person on Monday only to find an illegibly scribbled note taped to the door saying they were closed. I emailed and called. Was told in an email reply later that day that they were short staffed, but how was I to know? Their website clearly states open until 3 on Mondays. I also had noted in the 'comments' section of my online order that I'd pick up my order on Monday. I reluctantly rescheduled to make the trek again on Thursday. Tuesday passed. Then shortly after noon on Wednesday I received and email saying they were unable to fulfill half of my bought and paid for order. I immediately canceled the remaining items. Currently awaiting full refund. Trust broken. Flaky business practices noted. Lack of responsibility and accountability to customers. Website/inventory control nonexistent. Shame. What a total waste of a potential customer's goodwill, time and money. Dude probably sold my bought and paid for items to his pals for more money. Why even post rare items online if you cannot honor the sale? Typical slacker run business. Avoid Northern Realms, it's just a headache!

I tried to go there twice within the listed store hours and both times they were closed.read more

Golden Gait Mercantile is our favorite store in California. We travel to Ferndale from Southern…read moreCalifornia once a year to visit your store. It's like stepping back in time. You find items here that you never see anywhere else. We were there last Friday and met this delightful girl. Such friendly service and very helpful. I have to do my Christmas shopping in the summertime so that I can buy your delicious jams to bring home to my friends. We've enjoyed your store for years!

Another fabulous shop in Ferndale that's a feast for the eyes and overflowing with merchandise.

The candy selection is one of the best I've ever seen!! Candy from the 70's such as pop rocks that you never see. It's a candy lovers paradise!

I have lived in McKinleyville for 25 years and went to Blakes Books yesterday for the first time…read more I had such a great conversation with the owner Courtney...she was so friendly and helpful! As the minister of a local church, I am helping a recently widowed friend rehome some of her husbands books. Courtney explained which books she would accept and suggested how I might handle the ones she didn't take. I would 100% recommend this gem of a bookstore and can't say enough about how nice Courtney is!!

Just like most people you meet in real life they're fake and so are the damn prices at this store…read more The price listed under the item on the shelf was more than half of what it is when you finally checkout up at the cashier more than double at the cashier in other words. False advertisement, they don't care, they fake you out and get your money going out. This is the main reason that I will order from Amazon and just wait a few days and some below minimum wage store in the Midwest will fill my order and my local businesses will not get my business. I'm sure I don't go to the same damn church anyway

Fine selection and clean store good deals. But the employee was unhelpful and short with me for no…read morereason. Waited in line for a long time, needed help finding something and had the SKU number and it said in stock online but she refused to look on handheld or computer if it was in stock. Just pointed me back to the aisle I told her I was just in, there were none on the shelf and no shelf tag for the product. I understand things being out of stock isn't their fault but poor customer service sucks. Another woman with a gift card issue was dealing with an employee who looked over it before it began too. Maybe they're short staffed. Also when I came back around to check out the same employee that wouldn't help with my question started doing the self check out for me which I found strange. Simply a disheartening experience and it sucks since it's the only Michael's in 150 miles.
