First, my pump was back ordered so took almost a week to ship. They sent me the wrong pump (said I specified that one based on handwritten notes.) Pump ended up being defective (had scratches on the case and tear in rubber casing where the tubes connected.) CMS refused to exchange it because I opened the box -- how would I know anything was wrong otherwise? -- and told me to call the manufacturer. None of which gets me the pump that I originally wanted and added a lot of stress for a new mom. Also, they charge $10 for shipping which the other pump suppliers DO NOT. I ordered from them thinking that going local was better -- but wish I had just ordered from an out of town supplier that may have actually helped me. Buyer beware.

I have always been very happy with the service. And always happy with their product suggestions when I have issues (urinals, external catheters, grabbers, and much more). I do buy some products online for convenience, but I try to start with this store because they help me choose the right product and offer excellent service for what they sell. They offer rentals that I have also taken advantage of occasionally.

A lot of drugs are on backorder now. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Unfortunately, one of my drugs was on back order. I went to Walgreens, and they said they can't get it. They said try an independent pharmacy. I called Melvin's and they were able to get the drug for me. There is also a feel to them of a family Doctor of the 1960s. No corporate medicine, where you are just a number. You feel like you have a friend watching out for you. The only thing they care about is what is best for you. There is not much of that left in the world today.

But the little hole in the wall shop does seem to have one of everything- scooter, walker, wheelchair, safety rails, orthotic shoes, etc. If you were injured and immobilized and needed a mobility device immediately, this is your only option, and I think Boston is fairly lucky to have it. The less good: the prices are really high for what you get. You are paying a mark up for convenience and can get higher quality items for much less online or even from the other suppliers in the area who work with insurance. The selection is extremely limited. If you can wait, do that. Rentals involve a random quote from a random guy in the store after talking to another random person and calling in advance does not connect you to the store (I guess online sales may be how they stay in business? No one is actually coming to this store at the end of a long dark hallway with one little printed sign on the front door). There's nothing written down and I found out later when they called me about extending the rental that these prices are extremely negotiable. Nothing is priced in the store either, so I grossly overpaid for some items... but I needed them right away, so what can you do. Returns aren't accepted. The vibes are not great, but if you're desperate, it's good to have an option for immediate relief. You really can't buy/rent a scooter or wheelchair in person anywhere else, you have to work with a medical supplier referred by your Dr, which takes a few days and is limited to M-F.

I've already transferred my prescriptions from CVS to Garys. Not only were all the workers exceptionally pleasant, every customer was just as nice! I was given great advice from the 'front of house' employee from makeup, to hair brushes, to oils. The other worker doing pharmacy was just as nice! I found eyeliner my mom used to wear from 1999-2005 that I haven't been able to find for years. It was like $4. I've also gone through maybe 20 hair brushes in the past year because they all sucked. The lady recommended a particular brush for my hair type and it's exactly what I've been looking for (and it was only like 14$). Just such good vibes. Old school.

It was difficult to find plants that weren't damaged and in need of some serious TLC, although the prices were fairly decent for the Boston area. I would surely pay less locally, but I digress. Checking out was also a confusing process, and the store itself didn't feel very welcoming to customers as if the music was playing to make it seem like the employees couldn't talk. I probably wouldn't go here again unless I was looking for a cactus or succulent, and even then there's slim pickings.

Ricky (I think it was Ricky) is that perfect mix of exasperated and extremely helpful that makes me love New England generally. The staff generally has that feel, they'll give you all kinds of ideas and advice without for a moment losing their frustration at your ineptitude. It's just a great little institution to get to know.

As neighborhood hardware stores go, this place is the genuine article. They have a wide range of fasteners (sold by the piece, not in poly-bags!), plumbing and electrical items appropriate to the kinds of houses found in the neighborhood, lawn and garden supplies, cleaning supplies, paint and -- most of all -- a very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. (Ooops, I almost forgot to mention a handsome and somewhat aloof Maine coon cat named "Hershey" who protects the lawn and bird seed from mice and provides the store with senior management.) I've been involved in construction and renovation work for many years, and this kind of hardware store is getting difficult to find. ( I was working with a carpenter installing a huge Andersen bay window which is supported by internal wire cables. Atlas True Value had large turnbuckles, 10" through bolts and wire rope clamps all in stock. ) As might be expected, they're a little bit more expensive than the big-box Lowes and Home Depot, but I frequently find they're more economical because I can get first-quality items in the quantity I need and I don't have to spend the time and gas money to go miles when I need something. My only complaint is that they shorten their business hours during the summer months and close a little earlier on Sundays.

Since my husband and I moved to Cambridge five and a half years ago for his graduate program, we've acquired almost all of our furniture here - everything from a leather couch and armchair set in excellent condition for a reasonable $600 to a gorgeous Crate and Barrel kitchen table for a mere $40. We've also purchased bookshelves, end tables, lamps, desks, and more. Obviously by virtue of fact that the furniture is by donation, there are always going to be some ugly or low-quality items to weed through, but I'd say it's well worth the time. As has been noted, the hours are very limited: currently Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and the first Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. If possible, I'd strongly recommend arriving promptly at 10, especially on Saturdays: within 15 to 30 minutes of opening, often much of the best inventory has already been claimed.

At the bare minimum, they needed new heels but I decided to go big time (since I don't want to wait a decade to break in a new pair) and had them thoroughly cleaned and conditioned. No matter how many times I hear it, I never think to condition leather shoes until they look awful and are cracking (or about to do so). Don't make my mistake if you love your shoes (or leather bag)! A few days later, I picked up my shoes and they look brand-new (without the long break-in time); for about 60% less than the cost of a new pair, I just gained another 10+ years of life from my shoes. Great little place on Main St, definitely go in with you you need repaired!
