The Paper Niche

Such a shame I can’t give a better review because the store had an amazing selection. Although like other reviewers have said, on the occasions I had been in, the staff was generally unfriendly and recently rude. If you weren’t one of their «regulars» or a recognizable face, you weren’t very welcomed. As far as I know, as of now, the store has gone out of business.

I have been here one other time and I figured maybe the staff was having a bad day but when I went to this location yesterday, I walked in and was not greeted. After looking around blindly, no one offered me help and when I went back to the front of the store the clerk did not even look up at me. Customer service is a must for me and I will never go back here.
After reading other reviews, I realize that others experience the same thing and none of the owners reach out to their customers to offer apologies. Obviously, they must have their special customers that keep the business going because I do not know why anyone would subject themselves to the rudeness of the staff.
Get it together Paper Niche! In this economy customer service still matters to people.

I bought shower invitations no problem. I went back for wedding invitations for my daughter-​in-​law and had absolutely no problem. I then recommended Paper niche for my new daughter in law again no problems.
They were very helpful and I didn’t find any problem about what that others seem to complain.

I am saddened by the lack of scrapbooking stores in south Florida. There seem to be fewer and fewer, as people turn to the internet to buy what they are looking for– at better prices. That being said, this store has a wide variety of papers and stickers/​embellishments. They seem to have space, to work if you come in for a class or crop (although I never have).
This is a good stop if you want to put your hands on products, and leave with it in order to begin working while you have inspiration and time. They are a bit on the pricy side– and things aren’t always labeled, so it’s almost a game of roulette. Pick up something you like, buy into it, and then take it to check out, only to find that it’s more than you wanted to spend/​it’s not worth the asking… It’s happened to me more than once.
I’ve been coming here for at least a year, and can’t say that I experienced what other reviewers described. But, I’ve never ordered anything that had to be printed. It’s hard to get advice about items, because personal tastes vary so much. Better to just poke around with an open mind, and stumble on something that works. I have to say, while the selection is good– it does seem to tailor a bit more to girls. My imagination? Perhaps… I have a boy, beginning his 7^th scrapbook, and when I want something specific (geo-​caching, t-​ball, camping) it’s harder to find, if not impossible. I don’t think it’s exclusively this store, but it seemed (to me) that there were a lot of cheerleading/​princess/​softball options. Maybe they were only more prominently displayed/​available because I wasn’t looking for those things…

The employers here have really bad attitudes. They treat you as if your bothering them from doing something way more important… Very negative energy in this store and waaaayyy overpriced!!! They had the nerve to charge me a shipping fee for a product they carried in the store but was not in stock at the time. Not returning here!

Paper Niche to me is my crafting refuge! A home away from home to scrapbook, learn how to do some gorgeous mixed media projects, learn how to use my Copic markers, create beautiful cards and hangout with a great group of women at their crops.
And their 3-​day crops are the BEST! There’s a very talented instructor there (Bea). She creates fabulous 12 X 24 kits in all price ranges. You can buy a few or simply work on your Cricut/​Silhouette machine in a relax, fun atmosphere!
There are other great instructors as well, who teach card making, scrapbooking basics, mixed media, drawing, painting, Copic coloring techniques… and the list goes on.
Lastly, the place is loaded with the latest scrapbook items. Papers, stamps, tools, lace, kits, etc. An ocean of gorgeous embellishments! I can’t speak for the invitation side. But it’s a well-​stocked area as well.
A true GEM here in South Florida! As there aren’t many places to really cater to crafters needs, besides the large average stocked chains.

The store has a pretty good selection. The items aren’t always priced, but the selection i pretty good.

Let me shorten my review by referring you to the prior (and only other) review posted for this store (by Susan C). What she said is 100% accurate, but I have more to add.
This was my second time in this store. I did not Unilocal them the first time, because quite frankly, anyone can have a bad day. After today, however, all bets are off. They were not having a bad day; this is just how things are done here.
I came in to order stationery. The order would have been approximately $ 120.00, based on what I was choosing. The first time I came in, I was looking for invitations. I cannot tell you what I ended up paying for those (elsewhere) because the hubby reads my Unilocal,and I prefer to live! Here is how my experience went: walked in, told the sales girl what I was looking for. She brought over somebody who could help me in that department. I found out later that this was the owner and her name is Tammy. She pointed me to a book that contained what I was looking for. There were only about 5 pages that met the requirements of what I wanted, but I really didn’t care. She left me there to look it over and decide. Only problem is that she never came back! There are 5 pages… how long can it take? I went to look for her, and she was nowhere in sight. I asked an employee where the other lady had gone, and she didn’t even answer me. I guess that was out of the question, since she was looking for something for another customer. Tammy never reappeared. I left.
Both times that I came into the store her attitude was the same. Very much seemed like she was actually bothered by having to help a customer. I guess that she has more important things to do! I was giving her the benefit of the doubt, but you know what? She really is as «stand-​off-​ish» as she appears to be. There won’t be a third time for me at this establishment.

I was really excited about this store and a girl friend and I planned a trip together to check it out. Its quite large and has large selection of scrapbook supplies, tons of cool paper, a really neat section of brads by the piece, and a large classroom. However, none of their paper is priced. I asked at the counter and it ranges in price from $ 0.79 to $ 1.99 and the only way to know how much each page is, is for them to scan each page. This is a deal breaker for me, given that I do not have unlimited funds to put toward scrapbooking. It seems insane to me to go up to the counter to pay not knowing if those 5 pages are going to cost me $ 3.95 or $ 9.95! Even their wall of Bazzill Basics isn’t labeled (and that would only require two signs, one for the 12×12 ad one for the 8.5×11). I understand prices change and it would be work to price the shelf tags, but as a consumer I am very unlikely to return. I was quite disappointed.
