Captains Helm - Oceanside (CA)

5 /5 D G: Don’t come here so there’s more stuff for me. I love this place! I can stay in this store all day - it helps that there’s a yummy coffee roaster next door. The rude staff that all the reviews here are talking about must’ve been replaced or found happiness in a bag of chips or something. But anyways. I’ve had the the experiences of selling to them. One thing I’ve learned is, you’re selling to their customer n they know what their needs are at that moment, WE don’t. And yes, I’ve seen J Crew on their rack so that means they’re open n flexible. So on your next visit, go in with an open mind, a smile maybe?…and bring stuff for their future customer - cuz it might be me. Thanks to Layla (the young gal that curates their inventory.And the guy that’s half Chamorro n Filipino, he’s so friendly fun) n I’ll be visiting next month on the 2nd, cuz why not!

1 /5 Michelle Parker: I made an appointment to sell some clothes, I ironed and neatly folded everything. ALL of the clothes were in great shape, very very barely worn and great quality. The appointment was set to last 1 hour, they send you a text when they are done. Out of everything I bright in, they took 1 item--a purse!! I asked why they only took 1 item and the girl said they are only taking "vintage" right now. What is "vintage"? Because many items in the store are far from what Id consider to be "vintage"! The handbag they bought was NOT "vintage". It was a total waste of time--and they didnt return my clothes in the manner in which they were received so I had to refold and organize everything! I have to say though, the girl was not rude or impolite, none the less, its basically a waste of ones time. Ive seen the other reviews and everyone seems to say the same thing:( I guess I should have believed them, but I have really nice stuff--super nice and very appropriate for the store. Dont waste your time like did, believe what you read.

5 /5 marciya winchester: Excellent service. Great customer care. A walkability offers food and vintage clothing.Great location

5 /5 Luke Larsen: Great options, good vibes. I found some great men’s clothing options here. It is a predominantly woman store but a lot of valid shirt options. The woman working was very helpful checking me out. She was working in a different area and came over to help without question. Enjoyed this experience

1 /5 Kate Willis: Lame experience. Was excited to check this place out while in Oceanside. Arrived 15 before closing and was welcomed with annoyance upon walking in. Staff started closing doors and turning off lights 10 minutes before closing so we couldn’t even see what we were looking at in the men’s section. I was interested in a pair of pants but put them back sensing they wanted us out of there. Extremely rude & a complete waste of time - spend your money at the other great shops in town.
