EXOTIC SMOKE & VAPE SHOP (smoke shop near me) — Local services in Town of Amherst

I genuinely hate giving bad reviews. I've worked in Customer Service in the past, and I totally understand how dumb customers can be. I went here looking to buy some things, and had questions for the person there, but the whole time he was on speaker phone with someone, and seem almost annoyed by my being there, (all from my bias perspective), it was very difficult to engage with the gentleman at all. I even asked him a question that he flat out ignore, (if they sold candles along with incense). I truly didn't converse with him much at all. Perhaps he was suspicious of me, (I look like 'a thumb', so he very well could have wondered if I was someone of an authoritative position, in which I sucks and no matter what job I'm in, I'd be suspicious these days. I had incense that I had picked up before our minor interaction, because I would have felt bad just leaving them there. But, like, I usually get along with these peeps. It felt like my guy was trying to...

The reason I’m giving a one star review is because they are very much overpriced. I’ll give one example they have a product they carry. Under the brand OPIA and the 80mg pack they’re charging $35 for when you can get it for 20 regularly anywhere else 25 max. This store is a total rip off and up charge a lot, and it wasn’t just on this it was the same on a lot of their products. I understand businesses have to make money too, but this place is charging double sometimes more. Go to literally any other vape shop and you’ll find a better deal than this place people!! I almost guarantee any of these reviews on here saying best deal in town are made by someone may know or they made themselves I mean look at them those accounts have two or three reviews max. Listen to a real person this place...

I see this high rating but I don’t buy it. Likely uninformed customers that don’t realize what’s going on here. It’s a big store and they are likely to have what you need but be prepared to pay for it.

The prices are absolutely insane.

It’s literally above 100% markup from what they are buying wholesale. Robbing people blind. I recently moved in the area from southtowns and it’s highway robbery. I thought it was bad when I was in a pinch, went to brick and mortar and spent 14.99 on a pack of replacement pods from local shops that I normally get online for under $10. I have no problem spending an extra few bucks for the convenience of having a shop close by. Go here and it’s $19.99.

I expect any place to make money but more than double is egregious.

Avoid unless...
