I will never shop at Blaine's again. I loved several of their bulk candy items but they have been out of stock locally for a while. So I went to the website ordered up a few items was only paying half attention and submitted my order. I got a notice that due to the extreme amount of orders there would be a delay processing my order. I also immediately got an email saying they received my order. I looked at the prices on the email and it said 30 dollars and I could have sworn it said 20 dollars at check out. So I double checked the order and the shipping for my 17$ order was 13$.

I mentioned that their chicks were cold and I was told they just arrived and would warm up. It was clear that the heat sources were set to high but they couldn't be bothered to fix them. Second, I contacted customer service about an item I needed I was told "we don't ship to our stores or between them" I was then advised that there were 3 of the items in stock at in Standale store. This was not correct as I have seen the same thing on the website for 2 months and have been in several times with the item being out of stock. It's a fine store for the "urban" farmer but they are seriously lacking in the Customer service department (On a company wide scale, not...
