Mardi Gras Imports — Local services in Slidell

Let me start by saying I am from Mobile and my husband is in an organization there. We recently moved to Louisiana and decided to look at throws here in order to have time to purchase before going back home for his parade. The throws in this store are at least 3 times the price they are at the specialty Mardi Gras store in Mobile. They run ridiculous “sales” that the majority of riders wouldn’t use. Why would I buy 5 cases of only one item at $100 a case to get one free?? If that is the only thing you want to throw I guess… but no rider I have experience with would entertain that. The one and only item they posted on Facebook I was interested in I called to see if I could pay over the phone and pick up that evening when I was passing through from Baton Rouge and they refused. Why would you not want the sale?? I feel bad for the individuals who only have this option...

Horrible experience! Don't post a sale and then 3 hours later not honor it when I have the last box. I've shopped at this place so many times in the past and spent thousands there over the years. The new owners were rude and not willing to honor what they posted on their Facebook page just a few hours earlier. Even after I showed them the exact post they refused and once I left they immediately took the picture down from the post I was referring too. Just absolutely left an awful taste in my mouth. The clothes were also all extremely cheap quality straight from China and look like they won't last one wash let alone an entire Mardi Gras season. Spend your money elsewhere, I sure will. Can't support...

Inaccurate measurement of products.

I purchased what was supposed to be 60 ft of fringe for a house float. When I got home, I discovered the actual fringe was 76 inches short of 60 ft. When I called the store, the owner apologized and promised to get back to me to fix it. The next day he called back to let me know he'd spoken to the manufacturer and learned the product is not actually 60 ft of fringe (the count included plain cord as well). I was told there was nothing they could do, and now I'm out $30 because I could not find fringe to match the one that was...
