  I am not sure about how this company does business in person. But, I do know how they do business on line. Good products, fast shipping but... watch out for their shipping prices. Ouch. They quoted $90 and I accepted it (thinking items would maybe be insured due to their value) and they paid $10.50. When asked about this, they refused to do anything about it. I asked nice then said I would have to leave a truthful but unfortunately negative comments if they wouldn't help me. They even went so far as to tell me that I should "do what I have to do." So I am doing just that. I am a person of my word. They have great products and they are very quick to ship.... but they will profit 5x to 9x in their shipping. So watch out. Addition to review: This was through eBay and eBay's policy is that shipping can not be posted on an item that is unreasonable. When I contacted eBay customer service and they read all the messages that were sent back and forth from UB and me, they agreed that it was unreasonable. They opened a case to review UB's practices and asked me to give a negative review. Apparently eBay did not think that was extortion on my end but more like ripping people off on UB's end. The owner of UB tried to justify the gross overestimation of shipping as "The actual shipping cost entails more than just what the carrier charges us. We have to package it up, make sure it is secure, get it down to the drop off location. We are a rural town." Hmmmm.... They used a free priority box from USPS, the store is 0.8 miles from the post office. So they used tape, printed a label, used packing material and drove 1.6 miles round trip and that cost $79.50... If you are reading this, you can be the judge. They are even professional enough to use the term "pound sand" when writing to me. Very professional. Like I said, they have good products but beware of the gross over estimation they want for shipping and the unwillingness to prove why they would charge so much other than greed.

  I walked through this little gem today and was pleasantly surprised at what I found. Sitting amidst the well decorated displays of clothing, accessories , handbags and chic jewelery. I found a lively and helpful woman named Andrea Delgado. After a few simple interactions I was curious over a few questions I had regarding her business and her knowledgable assistance lead me to the conclusions I was hoping for. It also turns out, Andrea is the owner and a very sweet, business savvy , hard-working individual. The store is larger than it first appears and is full of 1 off and 1 of a kind pieces... sold on consignment as well as traditional transactions. If you are looking for something Unique... Then go to the Uptown Boutique . Hopefully you will find Andrea there whom I am sure can assist you with any and all of your needs. Guys, this is a great place to find gifts for girlfriends and wives that will surely mean more than a generic big box blunder - think about it!
