Placed an order more than 5 business days ago and order has not even been fulfilled nor have I even received a tracking number. Placed online orders from other retail companies and at least received a tracking number within 3 business days. Item was meant to be a gift and was hoping to at least have item shipped last week. Made a complaint to customer service asking for an update because not shipped yet and their response admitted that this is outside their normal processing time. I then responded to them asking them for transparency as to what is causing the delay, but they have not yet responded. Other reviews/complaints on Better Business Bureau confirm same disappointment from other customers who made online purchases. Asked for a refund because taking too long to process, but kept telling me order has been fulfilled, but tracking indicates otherwise (nothing has changed as of 07/13) J BRIXTON Order #S######763 Jul 2, 2026 Waiting for details Then they tell me refunds can only allowed when product received. However, will I even receive the item? Some customers on BBB indicate they paid money but did not receive their item or never received their refund. Buyer beware.

The minute you walk in, you can tell it's different from the surf shops around, the decor is cool, relaxed, hip and clean. This unisex shop carries unique pieces from top quality brands that range from casual to sophisticated. Whether you need a new pair of denim shorts or a dress for a wedding; they've got it. The staff is extremely helpful and happy to make suggestions; without being pushy. Socorro is an amazing "personal shopper" and has picked out things that looked better on me than what I chose for myself! I am a pretty experienced shopper so trust me when I say this place is special.

We saw a big lineup of men's and women's clothes including tank tops, sweatpants, shirts, hoodies, leggings, cropped shirts and hats. Souvenirs are everywhere- stickers, mugs, phone cases, postcards, and more. The store is very well organized, super neat and enjoyable to just browse around in. Our contact person, Babek, was very helpful when we were trying to figure out how to disengage the rope bracelets we liked from their wood column of a stand. We picked up two postcards and two bracelets for the grand kids and a gorgeous Carlsbad vinyl sticker for our car for just $16.15..

I asked about the candles being locally made and got an "I don't know" and just went back to jiggling the hangers. I was the only person in the store. And then I find out this lady is like some manager of like three other stores "Blues and shoes" "Flourish" and "Coolest shoes in California" this sounds like a racket! Outrageously disappointed! I still bought the candle and when lit, it did not smell past the wax, straight up walmart quality. Definitely not worth the price I paid. This place seems to sell low quality goods at outrageous prices. Would not recommend at all! And again, whoever that lady claiming to be the store manager of multiple places probably shouldn't be saying that if she wants people to visit the other stores. Carlsbad deserves better. SM darn H.

They have several locations- including Riverside, Tustin, and Carlsbad. For more information about Alternative Retail sales, you can sign up for their newsletter. Many sales require you to sign up in advance for a particular date and time, otherwise you are on standby to get in. These sales offer great reduction on items, so if you area fan of these brands or like in kind check out their website. The Olukai sale that I recently went to, offered predominately shoes. Most people were on the hunt for sandals, as their shoes tend to be over 100 dollars. The offerings were in big boxes by size where you had to hunt and peck for shoes. The offerings did not only include sandals, but also included slippers and tennis shoes. The men shoes had a lot more variety. Beyond the Olukai brand, there were couple of other brands being offered that provided yoga wear, snow wear, and sunglasses. The experience was good as fellow customers were not agressive. The event was pretty tame. If you have interested in a brand, and you don't mind searching through boxes, then this is a good opportunity to snag a deal. Just remember there are no dressing rooms at the events.

Cool atmosphere at first. The customer service ruined it all…read more My friends and I came in to look around and see what the store had to offer in terms of clothes and antiques. While we were browsing, the lady at the front kept hovering over us as if we were trying to steal something. It was obvious enough that we actually started laughing about it. Combined with how incredibly expensive everything was, we decided not to buy anything. We did use the photo booth a couple of times, which has about a 3 and 1/2 minute processing time. While waiting for our photos to print and looking through them together, we sat on the couch. There was no one else in the store, and we weren't being loud, rude, or causing any problems. Despite that, we were rudely told the couch was only for customers trying on clothes. Didn't know the couch was a dressing room. It felt unnecessary considering we were simply waiting for the photos we had just paid for and were about to leave. The store has a cool concept, but the customer service made it feel unwelcoming. Greet every customer with kindness. Not everyone who walks into your store is out to get you.
