I ordered a book. I was told it would be within a week.I went to pick it up, and there was told " a glitch in the system."caused a delay of one week.I thought they would have called to let me know,I traveled in from Vancouver. I always prefer supporting small businesses when I can.I just felt it was a bother for the staff to check why the book had not arrived. She stated it was not human error.The glitch was not, but the lack of notification was!This book is a gift for my brother and I have to mail it. Time was important.Anyway, I do have the choice to shop in my Commercial Drive area owner operated book stores galore.A little kindness and empathy goes along way today.The selection of books is good.

Store advertised to be open from 12-5pm on Sundays. Showed up at 1230 after asking them the day prior to hold a game to find the door was locked with no notice. Waited till 1pm, and nobody showed. Several other potential customers were also disappointed to find the store closed. Will order through Amazon as they are reliable.

I am giving 5 stars because I don’t want to wreck the overall review and I really like the store, has great selection and something for everyone in all kinds of price ranges.However, I’m truly disappointed in the customer service and “small shop feels”. No smile, no offering of help, did not get up for anything and was wearing headphones. When I go to a boutique store I enjoy the small shop, community and personal experience but I didn’t get that here today.

Amazing service! I ordered an Elf Pet for my child but I had to bring her with me to pick it up. They put it in a paper bag and even stapled it shut so she wouldn't find out what's inside. Thank you :)

Great place to buy Books and Boards Games in Tsawwassen. I don't know of any other place locally you can get the selection. Tried to order first off amazon and nothing but headaches and the item didn't even show up. Randomly went to Albany and they had exactly what I wanted and more. Afraid I may end up shopping there more than I should.

Truly a warm and welcoming local shop. Small but mighty. The customer service is great and they are always happy to help you find the next good book. I also love the small selection of gift items and local products.

Absolutely the most wonderful store in town with creative gifts, fun children's books and exciting books club idea for adults.

I love Albany’s personal touches. They work so hard to get you that perfect book! If they don’t have it, they’ll do their best to get it for you in a timely manner. Remember, local bookstores support local authors, too.

Brilliant place to find good books. Well sectioned so all the good stuff is easy to find. Variety of non book things as well if your looking for a gift. Oh and well priced.
