After a disappointing visit to another store, I entered Van Maur hoping for a better experience while shopping for formal dresses. Emily greeted me warmly despite attending to other customers, making me feel valued and welcomed. This was a stark contrast to my previous encounter where I wasn't acknowledged until I was leaving. Emily's genuine hospitality convinced me to explore their offerings further.
She graciously opened a fitting room for me and periodically checked in, understanding I was browsing alone. Emily offered sincere advice on how the dresses fit and allowed me time to decide without any pressure. Her attentive service truly mirrored the respect she would want herself. Such exceptional treatment solidified my decision to shop at Van Maur and recommend it to friends.
When I called ahead to arrange dress pickup, another associate named Pilar informed me she wouldn't be present but assured me she'd leave a message for Cate. Upon arrival, Cate immediately recognized me and retrieved the dress promptly. Her kindness extended beyond retrieval, as she shared a feature of the dress that enhanced its functionality—a detail I had overlooked. Cate's supportive attitude towards her colleagues, especially Emily, further impressed me.
Overall, my experience at Van Maur was outstanding and one I eagerly anticipate repeating. Emily and Cate exemplify customer service excellence, making my visit memorable...

Read moreI am writing this letter as a humble note of appreciation for the outstanding customer service provided by Tom in Menswear. I was facing the problem of finding a suit that would fit me properly because of my odd build. Tom took the time to walk me through in detail how a suit should fit me. Prior to talking to Tom I had several fitters in other stores recommend suits that did not feel right. Tom took the time to walk me through every aspect of how a suit should fit. The ability to provide the accurate and honest information exceeded my expectations.
I really commend the outstanding service provided by Tom and I feel that he is a valuable asset to your organization. While the footprint of retail stores diminishes in this current age of online shopping I feel that your organization can continue as a viable business model if it continues to promote outstanding customer service.
