“I recently had an exceptional experience at Arc-Zone that truly highlighted the value of excellent customer service. I had a faulty Tungsten sharpener and, instead of sending it back through the mail, I decided to drive over 30 minutes to resolve the issue in person. I called the day before to let them know I was coming, and they were prepared for my arrival.
Upon walking in, I was greeted by Lucas, a knowledgeable and friendly sales associate who made my day! He quickly assessed the faulty sharpener, and although I realized there was a bit of my fault involved, which I did have to come out of pocket no more than what I would pay for a good meal, he handled the situation professionally and graciously. Without hesitation, he honored the product and replaced it with a brand-new sharpener, as well as a Milwaukee tool!
This level of customer care is exactly why I believe it's worth investing in quality products from companies that prioritize their customers. I left feeling valued and appreciated, and I can't recommend Arc-Zone enough. Thank you, Lucas, for going above and beyond! I'll definitely be back!”
“Came in here for the first time. They are now at their new address on Grand Avenue in Escondido, no longer on Juniper. The place is beautiful inside, well-lit, clean, organized, and even with places to sit. You can buy, sell, and trade cards and other sports items here. I'm not into sports but it was really cool to look around and see so many cards, shirts, hats, balls, and other items, many of which we signed by famous people!”
“Front desk staff have always been helpful and eager to share knowledge and engage with the hobby. Extensive library of board games, tabletop, and TCG, as well as ample gaming space”
“I went to get fabric to reupholster some bar chairs. No joannes any more. Was pleasantly suprized to find a good selection of fabric. Picked up 3 yds. Will go back again.
The fabric was located in the back of the store. Guy was very helpful.”
“I was greeted as I walked in ? The young lady asked me if she could help me find what I was looking for. She walked me over to what I was looking for. Thank you. I noticed that she was making sure all the customers were doing well and assisted when needed. I'm sorry, I do not remember her name.”
“Gotta love the Lobby! I came in today for semi-custom framing. I'm very pleased with the price and the expected turnaround time. Hoping to get my pieces before Christmas. Thanks, Hobby Lobby!”
“I seldom ever give 5 star reviews for anything short of curing cancer. But Saul has a great shop, he’s super helpful, he’s had been out of fencing for a very long time and needed a complete re-equipping.
Saul saw to that immediately.
The next month I returned to buy a second weapon, this time, some of which is a state of the art French epee.
He hooked me up.”
“My two daughters are fencing there and they love their fencing center! You can not only learn how to fence there, you also make a lot of good friends there, the most important thing is the coaches are really really good and nice! We love San Diego Fencing Center. Once you join the fencing center, you are like joining a big family!”
“Riley was very patient and super nice. I decided to make my very first purchases of silver rounds at his shop and my experience was great. Quick, easy and great prices. This is my local shop very convenient for me. I will continue to take my business to them every chance I get.”
“The store was very clean. The people that I spoke to were very kind. So they get five stars for being at Michael’s. But I was very surprised. There was no fabric at this Michaels.”
“We found this store by chance, and are so glad we did! My 11-year-old son decided he wanted to try Warhammer after watching a ton of videos, and we stumbled across this store while stopping at a nearby atm. Alex was super friendly and answered my son's MANY questions, going into the lore as well as different aspects of the game and model building. He has an incredible amount of knowledge, and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. He helped my son look at different kits and weigh out what route he wanted to go for his first purchase. He also informed us that we could build/paint a free figure and get a game intro for some hands-on experience. Unfortunately, the store was still waiting on a shipment of the free intro figures (and my son was still saving up his money), so we decided to come back again later. We made another stop into the store before the figures were replenished so my son and I could check things out, and again, Alex was friendly and helpful. On our third trip in (and after checking in via phone), we were finally able to paint our first figures! Alex was super apologetic that it took so long, but I couldn't hold the shipping problems against him. Even though it was really busy, he took the time to get us started on painting and really explained each step. He even had my younger daughter choose a figure to paint since she was there with us. While we worked on our painting, Alex made sure to check in and give us instructions between customers and was SO encouraging to my kids. My husband was also with us, and Alex answered all of his questions about building terrain. He was really transparent about what you need to get started and what could wait. He was never pushy about the product, just happy to share his knowledge and passion for the game. He made my kids feel amazing about their paint work, and they both left with what are now treasured game pieces. We also ended up purchasing a starter set so I could learn to build the pieces myself, and I look forward to playing the game as a family! We will definitely be back, and my son is looking forward to getting his own starter set very soon.”
“I had to run in for plastic dinnerware that looked nice, they had a few options and I also found nice looking plastic champagne flutes. The self checkout can be confusing and I love to use self checkout kiosks but this one can be frustrating for a first or 2nd timer. I had been waiting for the checker to be available but there seemed to be an issue with a cushomer and 2 staff members were with customer while the other one listened in & looked confused so she may have been training. Regardless of that, I love Michael's store for the supplies and items it has.”

“I liked the store variety and the layout of it, I was looking for sonny angels, I bought it here. My only complaint is that , in my opinion the cost was a little high, I understand that this figures are trendy right now, but it was too costly.”

“There are not many independent toy stores left but Geppetto’s really throws back to the bygone era of my childhood. Great selection of really neat toys. They have everything from big brands like Lego and Mattel products, to more unique and mindful and specialized toys that help develop the mind. Very spendy. Nice people!”
“I wish there was more then 5 stars. They deserve it more then anything DAVID thank you for all your help very much appreciated!! They will take care of you guaranteed!”
