I love to brouse their catalog.  Their items are SO unusual. I did order a fleece bed jacket in the winter because I don't like the weight of a full robe when I'm getting ready in the morning.  The item wasn't available anywhere else, unfortunately, and their postage is extremely high.

I have ordered a nightgown and some pj's, also a tablecloth. I don't order often because of the shipping, but the quality of the items that I ordered was first rate.

Their prices can be high, but they have some items I haven't seen anywhere else. I live in Buffalo - home of Gurley candles. I still have some from my mother - 50s vintage. She had a stash that she never burned.

I bought some for presents for my cousins - we had relatives who worked at the candle factory!

I have some beautiful tableclothes from them - their basketweave type and a modern version of vintage floral cloths by April Cornell.

Yes...for many years and I love being in the store-

They can be a bit pricey on some things and yes, the postage can be high-but, I love that they consistently carry certain items year after year-they are usually the first place I go for nightgowns.  And, whenever I'm looking for old fashioned candies-interesting stuff-

I have used them in the past , but they can be pricey at times, especially their  beauty products

I have found the same thing, at less than 1/2 the price, elsewhere

Yes, I have ordered from this company several times.   I only order when they offer free shipping.

I like browsing the site but haven't 'pulled the trigger' lol.

Nice variety imo.

I have ordered more from them in the past than I would now. The types of things I order, they are very overpriced, not just a little, and there is rarely if ever any kind of real price break, s&h or otherwise, for me.

In my own experience with them, they have not been the greatest customer service-wise either, in terms of communication.

The fact that what I would order never goes on sale, they're overpriced to start with, and the s&h means I'm "over" Vermont Country Store. I used to buy at least 2-3 times a year but no more. I've found alternatives.

Their quality is good in most instances, but that's not enough to keep me from feeling ripped off.

@terrier3 ~ Love Gurley candles!  I have so many ~ I've been collecting them for years!  (Gurley & Tavern candles).  I even have some still in the original packaging, never opened.  I decorate with them every season ~ right now a large rabbit and yellow chicks are on the mantel.

@ECBG ~ I haven't ordered from them in awhile but whatever I have ordered I really liked.  My mom loves their flannel nightgowns so I usually get her one from there every Christmas.  Like others have mentioned, the shipping is high but I try to wait for a free shipping if you spend so much offer.

Yes, it is worth a mention, that their shipping can also be a wee bit sloooow-

But, I used to send things to my Mom and it was the one place I could actually trust without worry,  that the gift box and ribbon would be pretty and the quality would be good-so I accept the rest.
