I like the fact that they are a real florist that is family owned and operated. They offer a wide selection-offer same day delivery. Best place in the city of philly to order flowers is Avas Philadelphia Florist.

Terrible customer service--save your time and a lot of grief by spending a little more money somewhere else. I never got the contact lenses I ordered, and when I finally asked for a refund (after 3 months when I was told 2 weeks at the most!) I had to wait several days for the refund check to come in the mail, even though I had to pay up front of course. Everytime I called to inquire about my lenses, it was like the first time. No one remembered me, even though with each call I was put through to the manager, told that this would be looked into and that I would get a call back "tomorrow." After all this, before I asked for the refund finally, they refused to even give me any extra discounts on other services as an incentive to stay with them. I will never go back. I would say to be careful, you get what you pay for, but in my case I didn't even get that! Did I mention that the customer service is terrible?

I have been in the Phila. Mummers parade string bands for many years.

Ivan, made me a beautiful handmade tenor banjo in 1974 (I think).

Other then the Mummers I have played with "The Preservation Hall Dixieland Band " in the Tampa Bay Preforming Arts center with 8,000 in the auudience. Well, when we played a go around, The Banjo part brought the house down. I also played a Jany's banjo with Pete Fountain's band in Ebor City, just outside of Tampa, on fat Tusday. There can only be one person who would give a Jany banjo that low os a comment and his first name is STEVE B. So Ivan keep making the excellent banjos that you hand make. Jmeksa@tampabay.rr.com

Great shoes, but beware ladies worst return policy ever. I got a pair of boots as a gift from this store, but low and behold their return policy is for exchange is 1 week. I never heard of such a thing. I don't know about you ladies, but I have more shoes and boots in my closet than I can count and a pair of all weather boots is not on the priority list of things to wear until the weather warrants it. So here I am today, 1/16/2009, less than a month from Christmas, asking if I can come in to exchange the boots; nope, I didn't ask for money back, I asked to exchange for another shoe and I am more than prepared to pay the difference if I find a pair with a higher price tag, but no, the store manager informs me there is no wiggle room on their exchange policy, not even for a Christmas gift which I might say, my boyfriend did a fabulous job of picking out. Word to the wise, don't buy here unless you are 1000% sure about the shoe because there is no true customer service here.

Showed up on time for my appointment, was made to wait for over an hour. When I attempted to discuss the situation with the optometrist, she was quite flippant and made told me quite bluntly that my opinion of their customer service didn't matter to her. I'll never go back there again.

I have been buying books from alibris.com and through its network of booksellers for at least a decade and have never until now had any reason to complain. However, a recent purchase alibris arranged through Bookarama Incorporatedpersuades me that Bookarama is a dishonest and unreliable source. The book--a collection of photographs from the Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893 is filthy and virtually none of the pages have been separated at the bottom crease. Of course it is impossible to obtain any satisfaction by mail since the firm in question does not accept direct phone calls and one is referred to an answering service. I have stopped payment on the purchase and will never again consider placing an order with this firm through alibris. This is very disappointing since alibris has to date been such a useful and reliable company with which to do business. I give this firm and transaction no stars.

I bought a Jany 5-string direct from the company in 1980. It plays great, has a more sustained sound than Gibsons or Stellings (great for fiddle tunes). At the time, Ivan told me that it was only the 12th he had ever made. I recommend it without reservation.

Went to the one in North Wales -- took several weeks to obtain -- they were defective, with an exposed wire and a gap between the lens and the frame -- returned them for repair -- they were given back to me with a *longer* gap than before, and a nasty attitude when I pointed it out. Got my money back. Don't bother with them!
