Review from Kreag S.

I grew up with a super crafty Mom..in the prairies..where winter is long and there is NOTHING to do...soooo...crafting became my favorite part time...this could explain the torment I received at school..
While these days I don't have a lot of time to craft..I still enjoy a little project now and then and I can always count on Michaels! They do tend to be a little spendy..but can you really put a price tag on homemade crafts???
I personal love everything Martha Stewart..I know loser right??..and was very excited that she partnered with Michaels to sell her own line of crating supplies...a lot of the projects she features in her magazine can be made with the supplies from Michaels..genius!
I was in this weekend looking for some materials for a light fixture that my partner id making. the store was very festive..clean..and easy to navigate. I found what I needed and was in and out in 5 mins, The cashier was quick and pleasant.
I also was looking into taking some of the cake decorating classes which they offer for free! You just need to sign up and of course purchase some supplies..I may be a cake decorating machine in no time! -

I am highly disappointed with Michaels in North Vancouver, and with good reason. I often go to Michaels to purchase Zip Dry glue, which I use ffrequejntly. A few months ago, I noticed there were only two bottles of Zip Dry on display, and both were dried up solid. Neither one could be used. I have brought this to attention of the personnel a total of SIX times, over a period of two to three months. One bottle has gone missing since I started my crusade. Perhaps someone bought it. The other remains on the shelf and is as solid as a rock. On one occasion, a young male employee removed it from the shelf at my urging. The next time I went back, the bottle was back on the shelf, where it still remains. I find this appalling. At first it could be thought of as an innocent mistake but after this many reports, I can only conclude that it is deliberate.

I like Michaels, because I know what to expect from them.
#1 Prices are a bit high- if you can wait for the item to go on sale (as much as 50% off) or wait for a coupon.
#2 Staff is hourly- don't expect to have any experts in the store. Michaels pays about as much as McD's, so plan accordingly. Do you research before you come.
#3 Coupons, coupons, coupons. It used to be that every Sunday there would be a 40% off coupon in the newspaper. Not sure if they do that anymore- but they do often have coupons on line. Just do a google and print it up before you head to the store. Can save you a few bucks. -

My crafty friends had talked up Michaels into a heaven of glittery goodness. For beading, scrap-booking, knitting, I was told it was the greatest spot.
But it really fell flat for me. Foremost, the staff provided miserable customer service. When a group of people are in the midst of spending triple figures at your store, don't usher them out of the way to stock shelves Ms. Manager. When my friend asked the same lady for help in buying some jewelry-making items, we were met with a further unfriendly and snippy response. This was when the store was as empty as a nuclear disaster zone -- I could have understood it had the staff been run off their feet trying to help everyone.
The product here is particularly good for scrap-booking. The beading section is a little higglety-pigglety in its organization. Generally, the goods are a bit over-priced. Head to Dress Sew for a much better deal, or to Country Beads for better selection. All in all, Michaels, I'll be taking my tendencies to spend exorbitant amounts on craft supplies elsewhere.Listed in: My Worst Customer Service…
