Pop!

I have not heard back from them for months. They owe me money or a pair of jeans. I even offered them the option to send me any pair in my size that they have in stock, i literally said that I don’t really care what brand they are or anything. Worst business I have ever dealt with, I don’t understand why they would do this to me. I ordered over $ 250 worth of stuff from them and only received ²⁄₃ of my order (after waiting over 6 months) Very Very unhappy, and to top it off they have not responded to any of my emails since december. I had to set up a fraud investigation with my card company which then got them talking. They said they wouldn’t send me my jeans till I canceled the investigation, which i did, then they stopped talking to me. Horrible company.

This might top the cake. I had ordered a pair of Kill City jeans from this store online back in March 2009. I originally sent them back for an exchange the following April. No email response until June. Some more delayed response from Mike. Exchange finally promised in October. No response until December but still no exchange in the mail. A few more email attempts sent as it rolled into early 2010 for a refund. The last time I reached out was in May.
Flashforward to May 2011. So on a whim I went to the Kill City flagship store recently. Then it all came flooding back. This very tiring, one-​way attempt to get $ 70 back for a pair of jeans I probably should’ve gone to KC directly for. But I was tricked into giving this shop a chance. Might be chump change for some, but for others everything counts these days.
It’s been OVER TWO YEARS and I’m surprised this store is still around. Did you laugh at my voicemail message I recently left, Mike? Knowing you haven’t done jack-​squat in two years to exercise any semblance of proper customer service? I hope you enjoyed stealing my money.

The POP! website is amazing. The variety of stylish gear is great. It’s hard to find good stylish clothing for men sometimes and POP! has tonnes of it.
I ordered 3 pairs of shoes from them and received 2 of the 3 pairs in 6 days time. Pretty awesome considering they came from Australia to Canada in that time. So quick!
The other pair are being ordered from Bali.
Customer service has been quick and helpful.
Ill definitely order from the shop again.
you should too!

I made a purchase from pop back in September of 2010. I STILL have not received my purchase. After numerous emails all ending with a «we are out of stock right now», I finally asked for a refund of my $ 70. Suddenly I get NO response back. I have called both listed phone numbers numerous times. One goes right to voicemail and the message states that the mailbox is full. The other number goes to voicemail with room to leave a message… a message which never gets a call back. I DO NOT recommend buying from them. You are better off burning your cash in the fireplace. For me, I plan to file a claim with the Better Business Bureau and possible a small claims suit to get my refund. If I had more hands, I would give it 3 thumbs down.

About half an hour after I posted the last review I received an e-​mail from Mike, who I assume is the store owner, apologizing and explaining that the item I’d ordered was imported from somewhere in Bali and they’d spent the past few months going back and forth trying to get it back in stock, but that ultimately it was no longer available.
While it brought me some relief to find out I’m dealing with a legitimate business and not getting totally screwed, I still don’t feel like this explains away the lack of communication regarding my order. But I did appreciate Mike (eventually) getting back to me on it… as said in another review, this is a small business and you can’t really expect them to run with the efficiency of a larger company.
That said, Mike did immediately process my refund and even added a little extra in a show of good faith which I appreciated.
I do think this store has a great business model as his focus is on delivering unique and high quality fashion merchandise that reflects his (really good) taste as a buyer. I honestly wish more companies had the balls to operate at that level, and always wish to support this kind of effort…
So basically, don’t let this review deter you from shopping here because the stuff really is bad-​ass and I wish there were more catalogs like it… but be prepared to wait a while, and be prepared to accept the possibility that what you ordered is no longer available.

Pop! kicks ass.
Not only is Mikey a cool ass dude, the stuff he carries there is vicious. One of the few (if not only) places I know of where I can find a good selection of Cheap Monday and Kill City skinny jeans. This place is awesome for outfitting those slender European body types like myself. There is a good mix of new and vintage threads, as well as a lot of clothes offered by local designers and jewelery makers.
They have shoes, and some old vinyl on hand as well.
This place screams Charles Bronson cool, and is definitely an asset to the neighborhood.

pop! has the coolest clothes and a wide selection of styles and sizes. i always find something i like when i go in there :)

hot hot hot! :)

I love pop! This is an awesome store, Mike the owner is so nice and they have really unique clothes and shoes and all kinds of stuff.
They also have Cheap Mondays which are next to impossible to find in San Diego. Kill City jeans too, and some other items from them as well.
Give it a visit, you wont be disappointed!

hooray for pop!
i’ve only been here once, but that’s actually a good thing because if i came here a lot i’d be broke. they have a great selection of cheap monday jeans and i love all the local/​underground stuff they have, too. not to mention their good selection of vintage stuff. it’s not the cheapest place to shop, but i have no problem paying a little bit more to support a great place like this, especially when the owner is so nice!

Trendy, cool, Sweet all words to describe this killer Boutique. They have a lot of different styles kill city shirts and jeans Cheap Monday and lots of underground stuff. Best ever!!!

Pop is like nowhere else that I’ve come across in San Diego. Everything is very distinct and one of a kind. I highly recommend checking out the selection of jewelry, and girl’s accessories. Especially if you are looking for something bright, inventive, and yet still very girly. Which is how I describe pretty much everything (for girls) in the store. The owner is mad cool, and he always has. you guessed it. tight jams going off in the store. It’s around the corner from The Office and Ranchos in North Park and isn’t super hard to find, if you know where you’re looking. I truly suggest you peep the scene.

The owner is really cool. Picked up a nice little DIY stencil t-​shirt for myself and a 1950’s vintage flannel for me husband. Nice selection of Cheap Mondays and Blank Jeans. I’m definitely gonna become a regular.

Pop! Boutique is a neat store and I like coming here for my MEN’S FASHION. The store’s owner, Mike, introduced me to a number of cool brands which I now swear by. He’s also a really nice person.
In addition to new stuff, they also sell used/​vintage, and they seem relatively selective on what they choose to purchase/​sell.
What’s neat about this store is that it’s constantly evolving. Every time that I go in I see tons of stuff I didn’t see on my last visit.
They sell Cheap Mondays here and have a good selection. Oh, and they also sell a number of oddities in addition to clothing.

I found two PERFECT pairs of jeans here, and I never find jeans I like! They have rad shirts for guys and girls. Also super cute dresses, jewelry, shoes, records, dvds, and rad shades for cheap. plus theres a cute vintage rack in back thats inexpensive. i LOVE this new shop!
