FoxTale Book Shoppe

I don’t want to be that person who negatively reviews a bookstore, but this is just absurd. I ordered a book that was supposed to come on March 2nd. On March 9, I emailed the company and they said, “oh, we never got the Harper Collins tote bags. We haven’t even put it into the mail yet.” I never asked for tote bags and I never wanted a tote bag (I already have too many and all they create is clutter). So they said they’d now send me the book. It’s now 20 days since it should have arrived and still no sign of the book. I emailed them again and asked what’s going on. They said that media mail shipping is notorious for being late and getting packages lost. I asked why they would choose to send me it through media mail. They said they don’t choose it. I chose it because I wanted cheaper shipping. Um, no. I chose it because that’s what they listed on their website and because I wanted to support an indie bookstore instead of Amazon who would have given me free shipping. They only gave me my tracking number after my third time emailing them and USPS has not updated progress on the package in 7 days. Maybe I’ll get it eventually. Maybe it’s lost in the mail. The bookstore made me sign a policy that they wouldn’t be responsible for books lost in the mail, so I might be screwed. Either way, 20 days, no book. I’d hope that after all of this, they’d give me a small gift card or coupon or something. But just more waiting.

I was on an event last night and it was fabulous. It was organized and flowed beautifully and all questions were answered. I plan to order the book today.

My new fave place for ALL books made special for me! The owner is a people person and goes the extra mile to accommodate every customer's literary needs.

I really wanted to like this store because of the great reviews and the book clubs that the hold. But, I didn't really like it. It felt like too personal of a collection, and I just didn't have the same taste. I'll try it again in a few months

Terrific owner operated bookstore. Great job curating interesting books. You will find all the popular books and really interesting finds. They also host writing classes for anyone interested in starting their own book. You will be so glad you stopped in.
