I hate to give such a negative review to a store that has so much to love. I had read the negative…read morecomments before, but the employees I had previously interacted with were super kind and I bought some circular knitting needles on one's recommendation. I went in today planning to get some supplies for another project - my first since knitting 3 of the same basic triangle scarf. I had some wool already (some beautiful merino from "So Much Yarn" at Pike Place), but assumed I'd need some new needles or perhaps some different wool if I wanted to use my current needles. I went to the back and when I put my coffee down on a shelf to take out my yarn to show her, the employee (or the owner, perhaps) very testily told me NEVER to put coffee down near the yarn - especially cashmere. It made sense that they were cautious, but her attitude was very rude - as if I were an inconsiderate child who needed scolding. I moved my coffee to the garbage can lid where she indicated I could put it and I explained what I was there for and she said - well you already have yarn that you purchased somewhere else. We can sell you some yarn, but we don't have time to get an inexperienced knitter set up on a project with wool they didn't buy here. I was shocked, and said - gosh, I'm feeling pretty unwelcome. I wasn't expecting anyone to get me set up with anything. I already have a pattern and was expecting to buy some needles at least. She started to say how she's "happy to help" me, but I felt so humiliated, I just left. There are so many knitters in there sitting around and talking and I had honestly hoped to be one of them one day once I became a better knitter, but I'll never return. I have never been treated so rudely in a shop in my life.

Tricoter is a gem. I first started coming here as a beginner knitter. The staff offered wonderful…read moreadvice from patterns, colors, yarns to instructions. Whenever I was stuck on something or made a mistake, they were there to help. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. They can help customize patterns, as well as help with finishing work. Over the years, I have come here to knit, meeting some truly wonderful and welcoming group of people. Because Tricoter provides such a warm space for people to learn and gather, I find myself keep going back to find more projects. Not just a place where knitting supplies are sold, Tricoter is a genuine community space where people gather to share their love of knitting. I have gotten so spoiled that I am not sure I can go to any other yarn store.

Rob at Armageddon was truly amazing. I gave him a hand drawing for my first printing job and he…read morenailed it. He was very quick to respond to email and was very interested in having me approve the proof before moving forward with the printing. For my second printing job, I was most impressed on how he was able to change the color very last minute and gave me no grief about it. He is reasonably priced! He runs his business out of his garage, which can be hard to find but I am really happy I found him. Not only was I able to the things I needed printed but I also contributed to the local economy.

One of the smaller Kinokuniya Bookstores that I've visited (it's a corner shop in Uwajimaya grocery…read morestore), but it still gets the job done! Studio Ghibli merch area right upon entering the shop, of course, of course. Decent selection of pens (I got a couple). The second level is dedicated to English-translated manga books as well as anime/video game art books and knick-knacks (sorta all in random assortment.....gotta do some thorough browsing). Since it is a small shop, the aisles are a little cramped. Kinda stuffy too, especially on the second level. Polite staff!

I have been a Kinokuniya Bookstore member for many years and recently renewed my membership while…read morepurchasing 10 books. At the time of purchase, I specifically asked about the return policy and was told that returning books would be "no problem" as long as they remained unopened in their original plastic wrapping. When I later returned to exchange or return three of the books 10 days later, I was told that I could not do so because I did not have my receipt. This requirement was never mentioned when I asked about returns. As a longtime member, my purchase is documented through my membership account, so it is disappointing that this record could not be used to verify the transaction. I find this level of customer service unacceptable. If a receipt is required for returns, customers should be clearly informed of that at the time of purchase, especially when they specifically ask about the return policy.
