FYE — Local services in Loxahatchee Groves

For some reason even though FYE is a store I relate to my youth, I can't resist strolling through every time we come to the mall.

Dozens and dozens of fun nostalgia collectibles that are tempting but at my age I'm buying toys for my kids and not me anymore because they'll sit on a shelf or in a box collecting dust.

They've got an impressive selection of vinyl records ranging from oldies and classics to modern fare, for some reason multiple ailes of hip-height browse racks of DVDs/Blu Rays and CDs, and an entire back wall of the store dedicated to Pop! Vinyl figures.

Best two parts of the store that contain impulse purchases are halfway down the right side that has a bunch of smart accessories for the home, an array of fun novelty lighting pieces, and mid to low quality electronics that are at least priced to move, and the back left wall that contains clearance specials - hey you never know when you'll come across an Adventure Time trucker hat that's lonely and a perfect gag gift for an upcoming friend birthday.

Staff that runs the store is always friendly. Twice out of my last dozen visits I overheard staff being critical about management's stocking preferences for how items should be displayed. Kind of wish they were more discreet about that because even though it won't stop me from going in, I just don't want the pressure of having to pretend like I can't hear them. Also there's this one dude that is always at the register who is mega friendly with the raspiest voice of all time. He seems to have authority to give discounts for items that are scratched or dented and is...

2 months ago (February) I had purchased two vinyls from FYE; One Britney Spears Baby One More Time and One Doja Cat Planet Her Deluxe albums. I was so thrilled to find my favorite albums from my favorite artists that I bought them both without hesitation. At the time, I didn't have a vinyl player; so the vinyls were still wrapped up in plastic but a couple of weeks later, I purchased my vinyl player from Amazon for an amazing price. Happy and thrilled, I immediately played Doja Cat after learning how to play my vinyl player. At first, everything was good. The first vinyl played perfectly; except when I put the second vinyl in from the Doja Cat album immediately the first song had two scratches in it. Then later on, HALF a scratch in another song.

Pissed as I was I hoped: "Maybe the Britney one won't have a scratch on it.." BUT BOY WAS I WRONG. TWO SCRATCHES ON THE SECOND TRACK.

Not only did FYE sell me damaged vinyls; they purposely overcharge you. Doja's vinyl at FYE costed me 45 bucks but on Target or Amazon it is only 27 DOLLARS.

Called them about my vinyls and they gaslight me by saying: "Maybe it was your Vinyl player." A brand new player fresh out the box. Really?

Couldn't even get a refund, you know what I got? IN STORE CREDIT. I am writing this so no one can go through I went through with this FYE. They sell USED MUSIC ITEMS.

Get your vinyls from Amazon or Target. I rebought my two vinyls from Amazon and not one scratch noise. And they deliver with care.

Hope this helps. DON'T BUY...
