Nice clothes but going to stop being at least an online customer after learning that not only will they *not* give you shipping charges back (which I can understand) but also for some reason they don’t give you sales tax charges back (never had another company do this before - even my fiancée just bought something online from outdoor research and they gave it back to him, and I’ve made plenty of other online and in store purchases with other retailers and never had this) AND they charge you an extra 1 something dollar fee for returning on top of it. Not sure if this is just an online thing or applies in store too. But likely don’t plan to find out as they have lost my trust

I love this Talbots. The gals that work here are so helpful. They can't do enough for you. If they don't have what you want they will order it for you.

Finally found a bra that actually fits perfect. The ladies at the store are amazing at fitting you properly.There jeans and clothing are great. After many stores for two days found the perfect one for a dress and everything I needed for my son's wedding. Very happy and will keep going back.

I am not a bricks and mortar shopper, but I had a need to do so. It was with total dread I headed over to this store. Believe it or not, this is the first time in my life I crossed the threshold of Talbots. I have been mature enough for a long time, but I am not a brick and mortar shopper. I hate shopping . The Lovely Ladies who were working this morning relieved me of all the things I hate about shopping. They could not have been more patient and helpful. They were knowledgeable and gracious . As long are you are willing to try things on, they will do all the leg work . I am grateful. I left emptied handed, but I will return for their access and their great staff.

Women's clothier Talbots' has both on-line presence and in some cities, like Boise, a bricks and mortar retail store. Boise's is in the Towne Square Mall and hooray for this - you access directly from the parking lot and don't have to go inside the mall. This would be 5 star review if only for the nice women who work at the Boise location and provide great service. My deductions from perfect score are for Talbots corporate policy of gamesmanship with timing of promotions making a customer need to play "gotcha" to stay on top of them. And for inconsistency in quality or sizing of garments, even in the same style and season, from color to color. And also for the reduction in the quality of the fabrics and construction used in their casual wear in the last decade. Even with those demerits, during sales the value is hard to beat and they offer one of the broadest size ranges in the industry. It may be for off the rack, mass market wear, only Ralph Lauren offers sizes from 0 Petite through Plus size 24 as does Talbots. BRAVA FOR "NORDY'S QUALITY" IN-STORE SERVICE: The staff at the Boise location do a stellar job of keeping the store well organized, merchandise nicely displayed and they are tip-top professional "Nordstrom-like" in level of service to shoppers. For example, if you're in a fitting room and need another color or size or want to look at item XYZ to go with the ABC you have on to try, they'll fetch it and bring it to you and offer their opinion when you need it for fit. If they're out of your size they will happily offer to order it for you through the store to be delivered to your home so you don't have to pay shipping. They also make returns, if you have ordered things via Talbot's website that need to go back, easy to do. THEIR SHOPPER & THEIR MERCHANDISE: While Talbots is thought of as a "more mature woman's retailer", the fact is 30ish seems about the age many women discover Talbots has something for them if they shop wisely and it continues into every decade thereafter for we who appreciate updated-classics styling. Think 5-pocket jeans, all-season wool suiting, cashmere pullovers, 100% Pima cotton tees, tailored blazers, button-front shirts, pencil skirts, trousers, seasonal sweaters and outwear from casual jackets to Italian wool full length coats. I discovered the brand in my early 30's when working in a corporate job and the Talbots was across from Nordstrom where I did most of my buying. I hate to shop and I loved that Talbots staff, like Nordy's, made (and makes) it easy for me. Although I wonder when it happened that I got old enough to find some of Talbots things would be fun "If I were still young enough to get away with this...". Think this Fall's stud embellished skinny ankle-jeans. ("Aren't these GREAT?" I asked my husband. He answered, "For you they would have been twenty years ago." And yet, I stay married.) ONE SIZE DOESN'T FIT ALL: Talbots offers Petite sizing from 0 to 16. Also Misses regular sizing from 2 to 16. And Women's Plus sizing from 16 to 24. For availability, size Misses 2's are not stocked in all their retail stores. (Boise has some but from personal experience I can say it is "you snooze, you loose" to get to them before they're gone.) Except for big 'flagship' stores, they do not offer Plus sizes in store so they need to be ordered via website. Almost all stores, even Boise's small footprint, have a Petite section from 0 to 14. Tailoring services are not available. SALES: I can't imagine anyone would pay full price for anything at Talbots given their frequent 20% or 30% off sales for current season merchandise - playing the cat and mouse of watchful waiting - provide good buys and at times even 40% off on a single item.
