Carl and John in the fishing and firearms department was incredibly helpful to work with and they were super kind. They definitely went out of their way and made me feel like I want to come back because of their knowledge. And kindness. I think typically their price is a little bit better than Dick's sporting goods, which makes them competitive, that on top of the fact that their staff is very kind makes it a great experience overall!

I was relieved when I learned of the new location. Upon arrival I scored a metered parking spot right across from the entrance. Staff greeted us and there were no lines. I gave the sales associate my barcode for the return and she found the right size and my daughter tried them on. We checked out in less than 15 minutes. Hassle free shopping experience, excellent service and plenty of styles and sizes in stock. A win.

I made an order to have my shoes drop shipped and it was estimated that they should arrive by Tuesday. Jacob was great! I tried to link up the account I made at the store so I could track my order and get my loyalty points. But the website said I had to make a new account. Once the account was made it did not pull over any of the info from the account I made in the store. On Thursday my order had not arrived and I returned to the store to check the status of my order and try to resolve the problem with my account. I stood by the register for a while and eventually a young man came by and asked if I had a pickup, I showed my receipt and questioned if it was a store pickup. He said it was a drop ship and walked away. I was in the middle of trying to ask if he could help with my account or at least confirm the status of my order when he suddenly left. He was speaking to other customers who came in after me, and I waited a a few minutes but it was clear he wasn't coming back and I left the store without my account being fixed or my order status.

Today my mother and I were in Cameron Clothing shopping for her Mother of the Bride dress. This…read morewas the first time my mother had tried on any dresses and had heard very good things from people who had previously bought their dresses there, so she was very excited. I was extremely disappointed in the customer service we received from a particular salesperson. She proceeded to tell my mother that a certain dress she tried on "covered her rolls". My mother has worked very hard and lost a lot of weight for my wedding, so having someone say this to her, needless to say, was unwarranted and unprofessional. My mother was obviously shaken by the comment for the remainder of the day. Luckily, we were able to find a nice selection of dresses elsewhere and I will never step foot in Cameron Clothing again due to the unprofessional service we received.

She didn't receive the gift until several weeks after I purchased it. It didn't fit but she didn't want to tell me. I eventually called her & found out. Anyway, because it was the largest size the store carried I didn't want to take the chance again by buying anything else so I asked for a refund. I had the receipt & the tags were on this unworn, in season, Expensive! sweater. The manager said no refund, only store credit because the 2 week time period had lapsed. No exceptions. Two weeks! How absurd! I purchase gifts a year in advance quite often. She was quite rude in addition & left me certain that while this store might have been in business for 40 years it won't be here 40 more if it continues to run its customers off as she did hers today. I think in this day & time a store that can't give a full refund in a case like this shouldn't be catered to at all particularly in an area like North Hills. At least, be sure to read the fine print when you go into this store if you do choose to venture in there.

That's why it kills me to say I am Very disappointed in Lululemon's quality these days. The leggings I recently purchased, the fabric which they describe as being super soft, are soft but they are also way too thin, stretchy, baggy, and the pockets are already stretching out - 3 wks in. Unfortunately, it's too late to return them. The current version of the relaxed swift long sleeve shirts is very disappointing as well. I've been a big fan of the relaxed version since it came out but the quality of the most recent version - from the fabric to the fit - is pretty awful as well. It's clear while prices in some cases remain the same but in most have increased, the quality has taken a nosedive.

Oh, well, the clothes do not compost either but find something that fits and the synthetics last forever. And if like to be snubbed, continue shopping here. I won't darken the ugly doors again.

It was a sized item and did not fit correctly, so we started to look into returns. Nowhere on the item page or check out page did it say it was final sale. On the slip that accompanied the item, there is very, very small print that says final sale. There is a returns page which states sale items are not returnable, but as a young lady learning about purchasing online - she was not aware to look for this. I contacted the shop and they were going to make an 'exception' - minus a 20% restocking fee, initial shipping cost and return cost was on us. Not really an exception from my perspective. I know my daughter made an error - and will learn from this, but I expected better. We will not purchase from them again.

Every employee I interacted with was extremely helpful and nice. I think we were asked if we needed help in every single section. I will say there's definitely a lot smaller of a selection compared to the Charlotte location. Specifically in jewelry and purses. The jewelry section was extremely lacking which was disappointing because that's what I went for. But I ended up getting a cute coach purse anyway! Even though it's smaller, it's still nice to shop & everyone was so nice. The surrounding area is also really cute with lots of stores and restaurants.

It took a total of 2.5 hours for them to put the suits into their system, and even then, they managed to mess up. Not only did they waste our time, but they also managed to send the wrong ties to all of my groomsmen, leaving us scrambling to fix their mistake just one week before the wedding. Additionally, every employee's attitude is rude and dismissive. Thankfully, we decided to take our business elsewhere and went to the other Joseph Banks in Raleigh.

I came to Raleigh from Oklahoma for a conference and inadvertently left my dress shoes at home,…read moremaking boots my only option to wear with a suit. "Rough-looking" is a massive understatement for the condition of my boots, so I went to Ealdwine for some shoe polish, and saw that the product had changed quite a bit over the past few years. I had a few questions about leather conditioner, how much polish to use, etc. (stuff like that), and Mr. Gray took the time to show me everything, on my boots at that. The difference is tremendous, and I'm not JUST talking about how my boots look now. For a business owner to take time out of his day, literally get his hands dirty, and go to such lengths for a customer who might come to Raleigh every five years or so... It speaks volumes about Mr. Gray as a person and business owner. I'm now more informed, equipped with some really good polish, and won't feel so embarrassed about wearing beat-up boots with a suit. Another cool thing, assuming most will be looking/shopping for more than shoe polish, the store's beautifully designed, and chockablock with some of the finest in men's clothing and beautiful footwear. Mr. Gray personally helped with the design in many of the latter (Alden's handmade in Massachusetts), so I definitely feel like I was in good hands, and had definitely come to the right place. Great owner. Top notch products. Perfect service. Great experience.
