HMONG ABC

I LOVE this little Hmong bookstore. The owners are always so helpful and welcoming. They sell more than just books- dresses, bags, tea, etc. They sell one of my favorite teas, the Hmong Gold Tea. I always have to stop in when I'm visiting St Paul. Highly recommend this store to anyone, especially those with curiosity about Hmong history and culture.

Great and unique collection of Hmong-related books. Quite possibly, it may still be only the Hmong book store in the country.

Terrible customer service. I ordered a dress because I wanted it to be a little longer than what she had in stock and she said it was possible. She told me it wouldn’t take more than month to make and deliver to me. However, 2 months past and no dress, but when the dress did arrive, the dress was still short, they had sewn a zipper on the back which made the back of the dress look all wrinkled up when I wore it and the waist line looked terrible! To put it lightly, I did not like it at all. I called her up and explained about the dress and she said that I can exchange for a similar dress when she comes to Fresno. When the day came, I took my time and drove to Fresno to exchange the dress, but she had nothing that was similar to the dress I bought. Her excuse was that those particular dresses must be with her husband in the Merced New Year booth so I told her I will go look there. On Saturday when I went there, her husband said that she had came to help him setup and then took the dresses with her. I called her up and explained the situation again and asked if she would refund me my dress because I was willing to work with her on trying to exchange for a similar dress, but I’m tired of playing cat and mouse with the exchanges. As the conversation continued, she finally admitted she didn’t bring any dresses that were similar to what I had purchased. I told her I didn’t like her other dresses because they were sewn for older ladies. She then said that I can have her remake the dress. I told her I have lost my trust in her ability to remake the dress or let alone her customer service. Not only that, I was looking forward to wearing it this year! She still argued with me that her policy is and exchange only and no refund. My argument is If you promised something to a customer, but couldn’t deliver the same dress in a longer length as discussed and the customer was accommodating enough to meet up to exchange but you have nothing of his/her liking, wouldn’t you want to make the customer happy by refunding the money. As a business, you can always make exceptions if you want futures business and a good reputation. However, this business does not care for future business or referrals! I would never shop here again! First and last time. It was my mistake to trust them in remaking the dress but I thought they have been doing business for a long time so I could trust them and they would have loyalty to their customers! Boy was I wrong! Stick with your book business if you don’t know how to take care of your customers!

A great variety of hmong arts, crafts, and literature. This is the place to get a piece of history/culture as gifts for friends and family.
