FOLLY'S on Ocean Port Elliot

Folly’s On Ocean refuse to communicate and to remove my personal mobile number off their Facebook listing, referenced by Google. Hey, you are loosing business when your customer's call ME instead of calling YOU - Does that make economic sense?

I have been coming to this shop for nearly a decade - prior to moving to the area - in fact I used to laugh that I lived in Melbourne and shopped in Port Elliot. Unfortunately, I have seen the most appalling behaviour - NOT FROM THE OWNER but from entitled twots of customers. I have witnessed people bringing in food when the sign at the entrance clearly asks people not to, I have witnessed people pulling stock out of boxes and leaving it on the floor. I have been there when customers have been asked to leave and for good reason. I have also heard from many of the shops in Port Elliot about the high level of theft when these customers come in and create a diversion. The shop is full to the brim of good quality, reasonably priced stock and we locals appreciate the regular turn over to ensure we always find gems close to home. These spurrious complaints say more about the customer than the owner. Did you bother to say hello, how are you? As you walked into HER space? I was there when one of the bad reviewers was, and I think you should get off your high horse and appreciate how hard our local shops are working to provide you with a service. Walk along North Terrace and the Strand and ask all the other shops how they are doing? Trade places for a week and see how quick you are to put up with the bad behaviour. We locals have a sigh of relief on Monday each week and when school goes back so we can have the precious relationships with our local shops and not see them so stressed. So do the world a favour, stop, smile and be kind first. You never know what has happened before you walked in, you don't know unless you are in their shoes. This business survives in spite of the occasional bad customer, and your hideous reviews and we regulars love the way we are looked after and will continue to shop there regardless.

I had the pleasure of shopping here today. Not only did the staff make me feel comfortable, they went out of their way to find me garments which would suit my stature, on they insisted on steaming them before I tried them on so as to give me a view of the garments at their best. Will definitely be back and will be recommending to my friends.

Has anyone else experienced the absolute disrespect from the shop owner at FOLLY'S on Ocean Port Elliot! My recent visit to this store turned into a disgraceful and degrading experience due to the shop owner’s behavior. Without any justification, she not only didn’t let me try on the clothes I liked but she also told me to leave and spoke to me in the most disrespectful manner imaginable. I go to this store a number of times when staying at our beach house in port Elliot. My mum goes to this store and spends money at almost every visit almost every fortnight when they are down at the house. I don’t know if she has me mistaken for someone else but I am mortified and extremely embarrassed (as the store was full of people). The last time I visited I tried something on that didn’t fit me properly and she snatched the clothes out of my hands and continued to tell me that they aren’t a ‘resell store’ I had no idea what she meant by that but she continued to explain that ‘you can’t try on my clothes to then resell on Insta’ I was very confused and said I’m sorry I have no idea what you mean by that but I don’t do that??? Leaving very confused.. 🤨 Then now this is the next time I’ve been back and she kicked me out? I am literally shook and deeply offended 🫨 By the reviews on the internet about her, it looks like she treats a lot of people like this & it still baffles me that she can get away with treating people in such a disrespectful manner.

Just a query: I went to your shop today at 1.30pm, Wednesday 23rd November 2022. Your website says you were open 10-30 - 16.00 Most disappointing as I came from Adelaide!
