A Picket Fence

I don’t know why someone would throw a small locally owned business under the bus like the review sniping about the return policy. APF does have a return policy and I think it’s probably been the same for the 20+ years the store has been around. It’s even printed on the receipt! Small businesses can’t do some of the things big box stores do and I’m certain APF isn’t the only shop that gives store credit or exchange as the options for a return. Store credit doesn’t expire so if this reviewer shops here frequently, then I fail to see a problem. You know, you can always return Vera Bradley or Brighton to their company owned stores. Why bust the chops of a small business who really works hard to be successful?
And for the bathroom complainer, do you know how old that building is? Those pipes are ancient! Shops are not required to have a public restroom. I’ve seen the owner allow small children, elderly customers and pregnant women use the bathroom without question. Walk the 50 feet to the nearest restaurant and use theirs. Quit bashing small businesses!
This is a great shop! I live about an hour away now and I still make the drive to buy myself a treat or find that perfect gift.

This is one of the most friendliest stores I have visited. It’s my go to place when I have a birthday or wedding gift to purchase. They have fun and elegant items. My only problem is I can stay in there all day. Oh, and the best part is my husband attends the «men’s» events that allows him an easy shopping experience.

Love the store, the selection and the service, but why only 3 stars? Easy: the refund policy is nonexistent. Exchange only.
I pop in this store whenever I get a chance, they have a great selection of high-​end things, all situated in the great downtown Sumner. Here I have purchased TOMS shoes, Vera Bradley items in the past. I consider myself a regular shopper, but have never paid attention to their refund policy; I have not wanted a refund until recently.
My problem with this now is that despite my faithful patronage over time, they would not refund me the money on a gift I received for Christmas. My family purchased a Vera Bradley Wallet from the store for me that I would have loved if I would not had also received something else that was similiar/​better. I had a receipt, but it does not matter.
Outside of my little problem, I recommend the store for buying things for yourself that you don’t mind paying a bit more for there, (they cost a bit more than others for the same item) and only buy things that you are SURE about.
I now recommend that you DO NOT buy gifts here unless you are absolutely sure that person you are buying for is going to love it, and they will not be receiving something similar/​better; like I did.
I guess I just expected more from a store that sells brands like Brighton, Vera Bradley, & TOMS. Most other stores that sell these brands offer a full cash refund. Even on-​line sellers.
While I feel like my situation has soured me from attempting to support a local business, I will still go back. Why? They have fun stuff to look at, and the displays are beautiful. I will just be very cautious before I suggest anyone to shop for me from them again.
;). I traded my wallet in for a Brighton necklace, that I have yet to wear.

This is the absolute best store around! I love the selection, they have soooooo much wonderful stuff, you should go through the store at least a few times to see it all!
They are always adding new fun lines and items, so every time i visit, they have tons of new things to see!
The staff is great, they feel more like friends to me :)
Why wouldn’t you want to shop local? especially when you have a place this wonderful to go to!
