Overall Review of Arundel B

common 20 reviews mention this

Selection feels huge and varied

Residents repeatedly describe a large, wide-ranging selection to browse.

Many residents talk about the place as very large and packed with items, often saying it can take hours to look around. Reviews also mention a broad mix of antiques and collectibles, with more than one-floor layout coming up in the descriptions. A few residents emphasize that there is something for different tastes, rather than only one type of merchandise.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Pricing draws mixed reactions

Pricing is a recurring point of contention, with some calling it high.

Several residents describe the overall prices as high, including comments that the experience can feel like a tourist trap or that items cost more than expected. Others balance that with notes that there are deals to be found, including references to bargains and competitive pricing on average. Overall, residents do not describe pricing as consistently predictable from visit to visit.

caveat 12 reviews mention this

Staff friendliness varies a lot

Customer service impressions vary widely in residents’ experiences.

A number of residents say the staff is friendly or helpful, including mentions of staff availability and excellent customer service. At the same time, multiple reviews complain about rudeness or curt behavior, including examples of staff not being responsive and leading to a walk-out or decision not to return. Because residents give both positive and negative accounts, customer service seems inconsistent across visits.
