Telco Stores

I love me a good junk shop, but this place was very over-​priced. Same junk as at every other junk shop, but much more expensive. Next!

This Telco’s is by far one of the better neighborhood discount department stores selling all sorts of discounted home décor, kitchen housewares & utensils, fashionably cheap clothing for men, women & teenagers, cosmetics, shoes, slippers, boots, undergarments, fashion jewelry, electronics, candy and that needed $ 3.00 umbrella in a pinch. They have almost all the basic necessities needed for everyday living with the exception of groceries.
What’s not that great is their housewares dept which is located downstairs and almost never ever has any ringing cashiers at the checkout counter and instead you almost always have to lug all your merchandise upstairs and squeeze your way down Telco’s packed to the brim aisles that are clustered with racks of clothing and people of all sizes trying to squeeze down these narrow lanes to the check-​out line that is also a bit cluttered so that’s the only real downside of stopping in and shopping here.
Conclusion still a wonderful neighborhood discount store carrying an array of items at great prices.
Tip: Like them on FB for additional $ 5.00 coupon on purchases over $ 15 and or sign up for their text alerts for additional savings discounts.

Great store, just too many drunk people

I honestly couldn’t tell you why some folks are giving this store bad reviews but I have to say that these two stores on Myrtle Ave have to be one of Ridgewood best kept secrets. Before I met my fiancé who comes from Ridgewood I never really shopped on Myrtle Avenue until I actually went down there to visit him and I found out about telco stores. I have bought everything from clothing to shoes and housewares in there and I have not had a complaint about anything. There are bargains galore and everything that you could possibly need at a one-​stop shopping facility. I love costume jewelry and they have some of the best pieces around. There are two stores on Myrtle one is absolutely huge the other smaller but both have great selections. When I have an extra hundred dollars to spend I know I can go into telco and really get a lot for my money. I don’t know what it’s like to return something because I’ve never returned anything that I bought from there. However I think that people need to keep in mind that every store has their own return and refund policy. You just have to know what it is before you buy from that store. My most prized possession from there is a pair of acid washed jeans that have razor slits along both sides of the legs they are a true flashback from the 1980s and I get many many compliments from them.

One of my favorite stores to come to when I visit my aunt in ridgewood. They have really nice clothes for great prices! They have quite a lot of other things as well! The only thing that can be kind of a pain is its kind of cramped inside but otherwise I highly recommend!

Needs new management, wife was chased outside the store with a hammer by a store manager who said she stole which she didn’t & threaten to punch her in the face. He was arrested… Doubt we’ll ever shop here again!

One star is even too much for this store,
I spent over $ 100 in puchases and when making the sale they are quick to make the sale but when it comes to returns they make you wait a long time they are saying that they can’t open the register for a refund only for sales, go figure. Dont shop at Telco.

This is one of those stores where you just never know what you’re going to find.
A Mother’s Day gift? A bathing suit? A toilet bowl brush? Doritos?
More like all of the above.
Upstairs, you’ll find men and women’s clothing and shoes.
The clothes actually look ok. If you need socks, slippers or cheap Ked’s like shoes… I would definitely check this place out.
Housewares are found downstairs. Lots of towels, bathroom stuff, random homegoods. Step stools, brooms, hand soaps.
Had photos hanging up of all of the people that have previously stolen from them, which is pretty embarrassing. The people that work here are definitely more on the rude side… but I guess they probably have to put up with a lot.

One of the managers at this location belittled my intelligence and accused me of stealing. I’ve worked in retail most of my life, so I know good customer service when I see it. Needless to say, Telco in Ridgewood, Queens does NOT have good customer service. From security to managerial level, they lack customer service skills. Before today, because of their great prices (3 stars in that aspect), I was a loyal Telco customer. But considering my recent experience, I won’t be shopping at this location anymore. I suggest the Ridgewood Telco staff get trained in loss prevention and awareness. Whatever «system» they have going on is ineffective and can easily target innocent customers. Though my situation turned out to be a misunderstanding (had to stick to my guns to prove it), the manager was unapologetic and condescending, which is extremely unacceptable.

Decent little store next to TD Bank in Ridgewood. Ok selection, and the prices aren’t too bad either.

Good prices on quality clothing and you can find most things you need here. The store is clean, though a bit cramped.

I was a bit torn on giving this place 2 or 3 stars. I’ve certainly experienced better, but it’s a-​ok that Telco is a few blocks from my apartment. Need basic housewares? Head to the basement here and find a stock pot, shower rack, or curtain. It’s all very affordable and convenient, if not charming.
I haven’t shopped for clothing upstairs, but I’m sure there are some cheap finds for basics.
