We shared a single medium sized luggage for a week long trip to Cancun, and ended up buying a small luggage because we couldn't fit everything in the singular luggage we brought. So to avoid this, we decided to invest in our first luggage pieces and Away brand was a top contender due to their lifetime warranty. There are some very poor reviews in particular to this store location in Williamsburg so I was hesitant to stop by but I really needed to see the luggage size in person before dropping 1k on 2 medium suitcases. Williamsburg parking is atrocious so finding parking is extremely variable at best. We arrived about 30 minutes before they closed and were graced by the parking gods and found a street parking spot a few stores down the block from the Away store. We walked in and were greeted by staff and left to inspect the stores suitcases in peace which I appreciated. I hate when sales associates breathe down your neck. It makes me not want to buy anything. But the lovely lady that was working on 9/2/23 at 6:30 pm (I forgot her name sorry) was super chill and laid back and gave customers space. We decided on the medium size flex luggage, the suitcases that offered expansion versus the classic. The boyfriend and I are over packers, thanks anxiety. We like to have wiggle room in our luggage. I also bought one of their toiletry bags. A bit pricy for a toiletry bag, but this one felt so nice and sturdy. Felt like good quality. Like you can wipe it down many times and it'll last you a long time. These cheaper toiletry bags (I've purchased many) are made of really thin materials and after awhile they become difficult to clean so you need up buying new ones of the same cheaper variety. Overall, the store was bright, clean, and everything was on display and you can touch and test out the luggage's and accessory pieces as you wished. When we made a decision we called the sales associate over and told her which pieces we wanted in what color and she went to grab them and came out with the boxes. All in all, it was a great shopping experience. Not necessarily for my wallet though! The customer service at this store was great, and I had no issues. My receipt was both printed and emailed to me for proof of purchase with future warranty claims and I appreciated having a physical and digital copy to save. If you need luggage for an upcoming trip or want to window shop at luggage you're considering to invest it, I'd recommend stopping by this store.

I had a trip coming up and read online that Away had the best travel compression socks. I had a few…read moredays till my trip so it was nice to know that there was an Away store in Williamsburg. This was purchased in November of 2023. The store is very nice and so is the staff. I purchased the Away Compression socks and off I went. They were comfortable and worked well.. for a month. Then they developed a hole in the toe area-in both socks. I contacted Away via their website and they said that shouldn't happen so they sent a prepaid label and I was sent a new pair. A month later the new pair received another hole. I asked them if they had a stronger one? They said no they only had one type and said, " it is not normal to get a hole so soon." So they sent another pair and the 2nd one was returned. And then of course...the 3rd one got a hole again in the toe area. I looked on the site and couldn't find the socks on there so I contacted customer service and was told that they were low on stock but should have them in soon. I just checked last week and couldn't find them. Well they never came back in as the item has been discontinued. I emailed customer service and inquired about them- they said, "We don't currently offer compression socks in-store or online, but if that changes we will certainly let you know!" Now I have a hole in the 3rd pair of socks worn maybe a total of 10 times and they weren't cheap at $35 per pair. Well I don't think that this brand stands behind their products otherwise I would have gotten some sort of credit but nothing. These socks will be going in the trash where they belong. Away.. this is an appropriate name for where I will be when I need to purchase travel products in the future from this company. As an aside.. I purchased a 3 pack of Conrad compression socks via Amazon and they have been working great. I have washed and rewashed them multiple times and they are still going strong. No holes, tears, or rips.

5-Star Experience!…read more BQ Sports is the real deal. Kathy and George are absolute legends! They made a Don Mattingly jersey for me about 25 years ago, and this year I came across some blanks and Googled "embroidery shop Brooklyn McCarren Park." When BQ Sports popped up, it was like a time warp walking back in -- the shop looks exactly how I left it in 2000, in the best nostalgic way possible. This place is super authentic, super old-school, and still delivering top-tier quality in 2025. The blanks are quality, the varsity jackets are quality, and the embroidery is perfection. I brought in a blank Reebok Pro Line jersey and had it customized into an Amani Toomer -- it literally looks like I pulled it off the rack in 1999. Couldn't ask for anything better. End of the day: their work is amazing, the turnaround time is solid, and their craftsmanship is unmatched. I picked up a few more blanks and George is already lined up to customize them ASAP. I'll keep coming here as long as those doors are open. And ignore the negative comments -- Kathy is a busy woman, yes she's on her phone, but she ALWAYS takes care of her customers. Highly recommend BQ Sports to anybody who wants REAL, authentic, old-school quality. Brooklyn gem for life.
