I picked up the clock on April 4th, well within the time promised. Cost was well within the estimate given. The clock now works perfectly.

My experience with the Country Clocksmth was positive, friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend him for clock repairs.

Just a word of caution if you go to Designing Jewelers to sell your jewelry. I recently went there…read moreto see if they were interested in purchasing a gents gold and 1.15 carat diamond ring. I showed him the original receipt from 1988 as well as the recent appraisal. He walked away to look at the ring and came back and told me it was a lab created diamond so would offer me a few hundred for the gold. I declined this offer and went back to the jeweler that did the appraisal and he stood by his appraisal that it was a genuine diamond and took it on consignment for thousands of $$ not a couple hundred $$. Good thing I didn't fall for the scam. Just want to make people aware that you might want to be leary about selling used jewelry at this store.

I am writing to say BEWARE and WATCH IT when dealing with this houseboat rental company. Firstly,…read moreI would like to say that when we arrived at the Lacross Marina, where the Mississippi River Rentals houses their boats, we were kind of saddened by the state the entire marina was in. The washrooms are so scary I thought I was going to get murdered in them, and the staff at this marina are all but helpful. A group of my friends wanted to rent a houseboat for the beginning of the summer season of 2013, and we used the Houseboat Reservation website of Hucks Houseboats Rentals http://www.hucks.com/index.php. When we originally booked the reservation, the Hucks website did not say that it was no longer affiliated with Mississippi River Rentals. The changeover happened within days. FINE. But we should have at least received a boat or at least our money back. Neither of these options happened!!!! At first, a lady named Christine who was managing the building at the time of arrival was not giving us much information. She said the boat that we had rented was having engine trouble and needed the night to be repaired. When we came back the next day, the boat was still in disrepair, and they said that they could still get us a boat anyway. They drove us down to a shipyard where a houseboat was dry-docked and did not even have an engine in it. There was no way this boat could be water ready in 24 hours! There was a dead bird that had disintegrated in the hottub, dishes in the sink, and trashy looking beds. Hucks Houseboat Rentals could not give us the deposit back because of they had already liquidated it and the company seems to be bankrupt. I would call this a scam, but I really think it was a deal gone horribly wrong. I would never do business with either of these companies and I recommend to always have a contract and pay by credit card so that the credit card company can stand by you. I would be so happy to see my money again, but I hope these companies drown on their own boats.

You will know when you walk through the door, that this isn't just any jewelry store. The people who work here are very helpful and knowledgeable and really want you to find a special piece. This is not a chain store where you never see the same salespeople twice. I have had pieces redesigned and repaired, in addition to buying new designs. Mike is a salesperson that has been extremely helpful over the years. He has a sense of just what I'm looking for in terms of design and budget. Their goldsmith is very talented, too. I have always gone away supremely happy.
