"Great quality for the price and quick delivery am very pleased with both orders placed and received. A great way to get unique gifts, especially "hostess gift" needs, without the sticker shock. I have recommended this site to a number of family and friends. "

"I have ordered from Lakeside several times and have been very happy with the low prices. There are several things I have seen elsewhere for 3 times the price. 18 months ago I ordered a Christmas "ladder" decoration that looks as good after two seasons on display as they day I bought it. I have had people ask where they could get one. You must be careful to check the sizes and dimensions to be sure you are getting what you want. "
"Wonderful merchandise at amazing prices. SLLLLOOOOOWWWW service. Do not expect ANY customer service. Emails are generic and I have never gotten anything but a busy signal on the phone. I have just placed my 3rd order, though, and continue to recommend the company. You have to be VERY patient to use this company. Order very early and don't check back for a few weeks. •Allow AT LEAST 6 weeks for your order. (Seriously) •Don't expect it to ship for 2-4 weeks. •Order by early NOV for Christmas to avoid backorder. •Don't freak when it shows up backorder on your screen. I had two of those last week and they are both shipped a few days later. •Orders almost always arrive seperatley. Do all this and you will get a great order and people will always ask you "Where did you get that!?". Good Luck!
**UPDATE - Last night I received 2/3 of my order (in 4 boxes) and the rest shipped yesterday and should be here in about 4 days (in 2 more seperate boxes). This is the fastest I have ever gotten an order from them (8 & 12 days) and am very pleased. BTW - I have never been charged extra shipping.
**UPDATE - I just received the rest of my order. Amazing! 14 items in 10 days is a record with this company. One item is much *cheaper* looking than the catalog but for the price, I expect this from time to time. Another good experience and amazing deals."

"EXCELLENT SERVICE, GREAT ITEMS!! I PLACED MY ORDER ON MONDAY THE 7TH AND HAD IT IN MY HOME BY FRIDAY THE 11TH!! AWESOME SERVICE AND NICE ITEMS. I HAVE ORDERED FROM LAKESIDE MANY TIMES AND I HAVE NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS COMPANY! "
"I was very skeptical about ordering from this company after reading all the negative reviews,but decide to anyway. I don"t know how so many people had so much trouble,because I didn't. I placed my order of 6 items totaling a little over $77.00 on the 6th of November.I kept checking the site for my order status. It took 5 days to ship from the warehouse(just like they said it would),which would have been the 11th. It was on my porch the 13th when I arrived home from work. Everything was in one box and looked good(actually better than I had expected)with the exception of a book. the corners had gotten damaged in shipment do to the fact it was able to move around in the box. A few days later I called them. I admit it was a long wait on the phone(longer than the 20 minutes they estimated it would be),but I finally got a very nice woman. I explained what was wrong with the book. She said she understood and offered to send a new one to me,which I said yes to AND I didn't even have to send the other one back.She explained an offer they had going on while she got the information from my previous order so there wouldn't be any dead air while I waited. I again kept tabs on the website for it to ship.It left the warehouse 5 days later(the 22nd),and arrived on the 26th.I think this one took a little longer because of Thanksgiving being in there.But the book was PERFECT. I just wanted to let people know that not everyone has trouble with this company. Sandy "
"I have ordered from Lakeside Collection several times. I really like everything that I have received from them. I have never had any major problems. Yes, I have had a couple things that I ordered placed on backorder. That is the only drawlback that I have encountered. I wish they would have a better system for items in stock and what is ordered. If something I ordered was going to be placed on backorder, I would know at the time that I placed my order. That way I would have a choice if I wanted to wait or not. They really do offer good products for great,sometimes unbelievable low prices. They have never,ever charged me for anything until the item was shipped out to me. I have never had any problems with Customer Service either. I have called to cancel items that I didn't want to wait for and they have always apologized to me and honored my request. I think people react to how they are spoken to. A nice,friendly voice will usually get the same in return. "
"I have been a customer of lakeside (Lakeside Collection) for 7 years I have had few problems but then I am use to how they work. I usually get 90% of my orders; only the items shipped are ever charged to my credit card so this is fine in my opinion. They send an email telling you what items are out-of-stock. It usually takes a month to receive the out-of-stock items; you can choose to cancel them or wait on them. When they are shipped they charge your credit card for the items being shipped. That seems pretty normal to me. If you realize that they sell many thousands of items and that you're probably not going to get 100% of your order I don't see why it's a major problem as they don't charge you for the out-of-stock merchandise anyway. To save about 50% over store prices it's a good deal I have no complaints:) However, if you're in a hurry for your merchandise Lakeside is not for you. When I order Christmas gifts I order them no later then November 10th as they can be very slow during the holiday season. "

"I am very happy with my merchandise, it shipped quickly and I knew the shipping charges up front, not like ABCdistributing.
I will definately purchase from lakeside.com again."
