Not only was their staff overly helpful, but it was clear that they cared about me and my story and not just my money. Republic has a great selection and by the time I chose "the one" my nerves turned into excitement. To make my experience even better, the prices at republic are unbeatable. I literally saved thousands over the other stores. It wasn't even close. My fiancé absolutely loves the ring and she receives multiple compliments every day. Thank you and thank you again to Chrissy, Dan and everyone else at Republic. You truly made my ring buying experience an enjoyable one.

We called here to see if we could have a brass bell engraved. They were confident in their answer…read morein being able to engrave it so we dropped the bell off with them. We called to check on the bell and first were told the girl who could work on it didn't come in until 10 one morning and they would call us with an update. I'm sure there was some confusion with myself calling and my husband being the person they called back however, after we called to check again on the bell, we were told that they engraved it, didn't like how it came out, buffed it, and would be re-engraving it. Once again, when we called to check on it, we were told that the girl that did engraving didn't work on Mondays. Then, next thing we know, they are telling us they can no longer engrave it. I understand that unpredictable situations occur and perhaps my perception of the experience is a bit different, but we were told they could do something and then after apparently doing work, could no longer perform the service requested. It just felt a bit off... everyone was friendly when we would call so nothing against the employees, just ended up being a situation that set us back on this project (a gift) a few weeks longer than we would have liked and just seemed like we were being given false information.

The necklace was beautiful and…read moreyou could tell that the craftsmanship was of extremely high quality, but it was just smaller than I expected so I contacted customer service and ended up shipping it back to the store. While I didn't end up keeping the necklace, the entire process was very easy and the online customer support was probably the friendliest, most helpful, and easy-going that I have ever dealt with. I truly appreciate how much this company prioritizes their customer service and communication, it is probably the best out there. Because of this experience, I highly recommend others to work with this company. Customer service and support is definitely their priority. *the online customer support representative that I communicated with was Logan Boucher*

I have also sold antique and vintage gold jewelry to the shop, as I know I will always get the fairest price from NCF founder Brian Smith. And if he is not interested in purchasing a particular piece he will always tell me what it's worth should I choose to sell it online or elsewhere. No store lasts 56 years without good reason - and, for me, Brian's rock-solid integrity and commitment to ethical business practices are that reason. I highly recommend visiting this iconic North Conway shop.

Inside the store I was pleasantly surprised by more reasonable prices for clothes, many of which were made in the US. The staff was friendly and helpful. Inside the shop there were a variety of styles of clothing, from basic t's to very unique dresses, and also some men's clothes. They also sold homemade soaps and jewelry and miscellaneous items. The incense smell of the shop took me back to my college days for sure. But all that aside, I wish I had a shop more like this in my DC suburb neighborhood.

I had a budget of about 1000$ so I just knew I'd find one. I did! It had no price tag on it anywhere. My husband very carefully started to lift the side to see if it was underneath. The owner I'm assuming, a wretched woman with silver hair, proceeded to treat us like toddlers. She rudely chastised him loudly. We don't pick that up! She yelled. He immediately let it go. Then, she could have recovered and made a sale. Look, I get it, it's expensive, but you don't have to act like a banshee. But no. She stuck with being rude. I'm sorry he said, she said, loudly.... THATS WHY WE ASK. That was it. I was done. She tried to recover saying, well it's $650, soooo.... Like we couldn't have afforded it anyway. This is the second time I've had a bad experience here, with that same woman. I gave it the benefit of a doubt, but she's just a rude jerk. The prices here are ridiculous. I could buy the onyx lamp online for about 250-450, but finding the specimen and supporting small business is the reason I don't. I won't be coming back here.

They send all jewelry repairs out to who knows where to get the job done. It took over six weeks and at least 4 unanswered phone calls. I finally got my earring back, however it cost $120 to replace a simple post. So, beware, get an estimate in writing. Kim was full of excuses why it took so long when I finally got a hold of her.
