Thank you Alice Stevens and your staff for a wonderful afternoon yesterday at Oak Hill !!! The tour was awesome. This was a "first" visit for my friends and they had a wonderful experience.
I have yet to visit the museum, but will soon. However, I recently ordered items from the gift shop for my daughters graduation party since she is attending Berry in the Fall. The experience was great! I had the best service! Chandler was very courteous and helpful. I ordered several items over the phone to be shipped to my home. The service was impeccable and quicker than I could imagine. I received the items the very next day! Although the items were packed perfectly, one of the cups arrived broken. I emailed Chandler, and he quickly replaced it and mailed it out within the hour. He even added a bonus item for the trouble. I won't hesitate to shop there again when I visit.๐๐
