Just hit a curb and blew a tire, lucky very close to Runge's. The owner found a used tire of comperable wear and rotated my tires! Bliss!

I have recently become a fan of this on-line merchant. I bought 4 slim fit shirts as a bundle, and then fit wonderfully. And a great price. I have also ordered ties and bow ties from them.

They do not hesitate to take returns if you are not completely satisfied!

  • Jewel Osco

11/27/15

I shop at the Jewel at Clark and Howard in Chicago, and was grateful for no line at the checkout as I got my Thanksgiving supplies. I'm sure that will change as the season proceeds!

  • Landoflincoln

11/26/15

As a new member of their network, I assumed the worst when I called Land of Lincoln to make my first payment. Surprisingly, the wait was brief and the service above average.

I have used the UPS Store at Howard and Clark in Chicago and the associates have always been more than kind and courteous. I am writing this for the superior customer service that Curtis provided on Nov 25,2015, working over 2 hours to get an important fax to an insurance company. Customer Service is still alive at certain places!

  • Macy's

11/26/15

I looked forward to this role; however, I had a manager that would direct me to do major tasks knowing that I wasn't trained to do it. I tasted the cool aide and didn't like it!

  • TotalHockey

11/22/15

I needed to return a second item to total hockey but the website wouldn't allow. I contacted customer service and Jeff sent me a return label just as soon as we hung up. SCORE!

  • Touch of Modern

11/19/15

I purchased a Chicago clock from the merchant and the directions were insufficient to complete the installation of the clock. An email to customer service was inadequate! Buyer beware!

  • US Postal Service

11/18/15

Mail Deliverer doesn't ring my apartment buzzer to inform me I have a package, and puts a delivery notice that I have to go to the Rogers Park post office to pick up my parcel. This has occurred AT LEAST 4 time, and I filed a report with the post office and nothing came of that. I have quite using USPS for my eBay dealings and now use The UPS Store.

Sorry USPS, major fail for this customer!

  • iLuxoDesign

After waiting weeks for the product, the directions were insufficient for me to put together the clock. I ended up throwing away the product.

  • Walgreens

9/21/15

This review is for the 7401 N Clark Street Location.

Most all of the Pharmacy staff know me by nae. They go out of the way to ensure I have a sufficient amount of medications. They are quick to notify me if this is a comparable drug in the store and save me money. One of the Pharmacists took quite a bit of her time to review drug interactions with one of my medications while I was approaching the right medications and dosages.

So thak you Phamacy staff. I hope you see this!

I successfully passed three phone interviews, and a 4th in-person interview was scheduled in town. I took public transportation to get there (~1 hr) and arrived 30 mins early. A message was left with the interviewer, and at the appointed time asked security to call up again. It was later learned that the person I was to interview with had a sick child that morning, and had asked the recruiter to contact me to reschedule. I never got a message and wasted an entire morning commuting and waiting on one interview. I finally got a half-assed apology via email from the recruiter mid-afternoon. I rescheduled the interview and it went really well, but I did not hear back for over 3 weeks, at which time I was told the position was placed on hold. One would think that a candidate who had made it through to both hiring managers with great feedback would have been called and told this information, rather than having to call this. If the company operates in any fashion as the recruiting practice, I am probably lucky I did not end up working for a dysfunctional company.

  • Staples

8/18/15

I purchased the wrong ink cartridge set, and went to another store which helped me find the right set and exchanged, hassle free!

  • Brooks Brothers

7/24/15

I ordered a shirt, pair of slacks and a snazzy tie and the order came as one package and arrived before I expected it.

  • LinkedIn

7/24/15

I keep my LinkedIn profile up-to-date and have tried to utilize it as often as possible for searching for jobs, but their supply of non-profit openings is very limed, hence the mediocre rating.

  • Bed Bath & Beyond

7/24/15

I purchased a rolling 2-tier bookcase from the Skokie, IL store (should have been leery of the re-taped end) and the instructions fundamentally show how to install, but there are pieces with certain nuisances that had to be installed first, and one piece of hardware was unusable, until I got out a pair of pliers and bent it back correctly.

Yes, I should have repackaged everything and gone back to the store (a 20 min ride), but it was hardly worth it, A simple task took 3 hours to complete.

  • Pandora

7/13/15

I love pandora as you can create channels of your favorite artists

  • DooStang

7/3/15

I went into this with hesitancy but kept hearing they do a nice job with high tuning of resumes. The site ensured one would increase job interview increases, but I saw no difference between my previous resume and Doostang resume.

  • Orangetheory

6/9/15

I have been to the gym 3 times and have had great experiences every time at the Evanston, IL location. The staff is friendly and the location very clean, and the trainers very thorough at giving you a good workout. Highly recommended.

  • Zappos

6/8/15

I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity of Kenneth Cole Reaction shoes that the site had, at cheaper prices than Kenneth Cole. I was a bit disappointed to see that one style of boot had been discontinued, but this is not the fault of Zappo's. Highly recommended1
