I first met with Nick, the owner, who is incredibly nice. Soon after, he introduced me to Angela, one of his long time associates. Angela consulted with me about proper frame color & composition and made recommendations that proved to be spot-on. And the frames were completed well before the time they quoted me. I couldn't be happier with this store.

This is one of those unusual old-fashioned businesses where when you dial their phone number, they pick up the phone. No robots giving you options to press one or say "representative", I just dialed the phone number and Kevin picked up. He was wonderful to work with on our wedding invitations, advising us on what we needed to create them at home from the already-folded and torn seed paper and twine. They even made us custom paper that only grows blue and dark red flowers, because we're having our wedding guests plant them and then bring them to our wedding. :D As much as I love their old-fashioned phone etiquette, their website is also a bit old-school and could be improved. Of particular note is that Kevin sent me a link to an "estimate" page, where I went, looked at the estimate and then emailed Kevin back to say it looked good. Fortunately I sent him a follow-up email asking when & how to pay, and apparently on the same page there's another link to where you are supposed to pay...not obvious to me, so it could have been days before I checked in with him again to see how my order was going. So if you're in a rush, you should remember this and when you see the "estimate" page look for the payment link to make sure your order goes through. Thanks to Kevin and anyone else at Of The Earth for our gorgeous wedding invitations (my friends will be amazed because I really have no design sense!). And as a bonus, or maybe as a main reason to go here, everything Of The Earth sells is about as eco-friendly as you can possibly get. Bravo.

Horrific customer service. Deplorable…read more I found this company on Etsy, where they sell "flower seed paper." I was stunned to discover the exact same paper on Amazon, in larger quantities, at a cheaper price. I approached Kevin/Lori/"Fiona" about this concern, and they claimed to be the Amazon vendors also. However, I contacted the Amazon vendor, located in a completely different state, and confirmed that they have no affiliation with Of the Earth. Hmmm.... Please be aware that this company greatly overcharges for shipping. I needed two rolls of paper for Christmas wrap, and wanted to support small business. I made it very clear to Kevin/Lori/"Fiona" that I needed them by Christmas. He/she/she strongly encouraged me to pay a whopping $18.50 for expedited shipping for possible delivery before Christmas, making the grand total for two rolls of paper and expedited shipping $44.72, an exorbitant sum that I was willing to pay in a pinch for it to arrive on time. But you guessed it: the paper did not arrive on time. By Christmas (a week later), the tracking number indicated that the item was mysteriously still "on its way" to a USPS facility. We're talking Seattle to San Francisco, so not a great distance. The sellers were extremely apathetic, unapologetic and dispassionate; they claimed that they were unaware that I needed it by Christmas, refused to acknowledge that they had encouraged me to pay extra for expedited shipping, and had no interest in working together to arrive at a resolution. When the item finally arrived (after Christmas), I immediately sent it back, as I no longer needed it. I suggested that it would be fair for us to compromise on shipping costs since they encouraged me to pay the expedited shipping; I would never have purchased the item without their encouragement, yet it still failed to arrive in time. They refused any sort of compromise whatsoever, citing that it "was not [their] fault" that it did not arrive. That is questionable, as I have no proof that they actually shipped it when they said they would - only proof that a shipping label was created - but even more to the point is that it was most certainly not my fault either. It is the seller's responsibility to ensure that the item gets to the customer. Why should the customer be punished? But they did not care, and would not budge. I was far more upset by Kevin/Lori/"Fiona's" attitude than the fact that the products did not arrive on time. Is this company so strapped for cash that they could not spare even a couple of bucks towards shared shipping to keep a customer happy? Even on general principle? That's just the wrong attitude for a small business owner to have. Bad look. I did not resist, but simply requested to see proof that the shipping fees were actually $18.50. No reply. To my third request, they finally responded to say that "we have reached the end of the line - I can't do anything more to assist you." So... there is no proof of the actual shipping fees. Do they buy on Amazon to sell elsewhere for a profit? Are their shipping fees legitimate? Caveat emptor!

Perfect Press/Mel were such a pleasure to work with. We sat down with them for an hour and a half, combing through their hundreds of invitation samples, and we worked with Mel to point out what we wanted. Our invitations came out absolutely stunning. Every single person who has received an invitation has complimented on how beautiful and special they are, and I even received an RSVP that said "these invitations are so fancy!" We recommend Perfect Press to everyone, and we have told all of our vendors and showed them our wedding invite so they know who to recommend for beautiful, special, and personal invitations.

Disappointed In Service…read more I've used this business for at least 20 years and feel my experience is noteworthy. I brought in two photos of my father to be reframed on 02/19/2022. I was called in early April indicating the frame design was no longer being made and had to choose an alternative so I went to the business which sadly did not have much of a selection but chose the only decent one I could find. I had initially been told by the owner Rob that my item would be ready by April 17th however, the time came and went and then Rob emailed me and said it would be ready the following week but the time came and went without a followup. I called on April 24th and said I would like a refund as I had already put $107. as a down payment and no longer have any trust in the company. I don't know what happened to this business as they were open during the pandemic and have had more than enough time to catch up. If not, they need to quit taking new orders.
