Lack of customer service. I ended up at Jimmy Jazz purchase everything I needed and then some.
Got some clothes for a good price (not too shabby).
It was a very good experience and they did have a variety of items. Great prices as well.
Bought two sneakers in good price and quality. Huge variety to chose from. Recommended.
Courtesy staff and resonable prices.
VIM usually have some good bargains. And since I love bargains I keep going back. I am 100% recommending VIM. Plus they always have sales.
Love this store when ever I visit New York I have to come to V. I. M. I just love it.. Plus I brought my shoe there and it had a default I return it with my receipt and they exchanged it... Seamlessly. Thank you VIM
To me, it was good for the money and I found what I was looking for. The staff is kinda helpful. The person that started off helping us decided to go help someone else, so we had to wait for someone else to help us.
This place is a Jamaica avenue staple. The shoes are relatively cheap, and plentiful. Clothes are many times local to NYC and they have many styles. I always stop by to see what they have
Good place to buy shoes and clothes
This is why I love V.I.M
This is one of my go to clothing store. They always have discounted proces on my favorite name brands. I mostly purchase footwear in here and it never disappoints.
Excellent sales and security services. Lots of choices with a computer inventorie device on the floor to let you know exactly what is in stock so you wont be waiting 15 minutes for a sales person to tell you they dont have your size. Cant await to go back.
Trendy clothing at great prices, the only thing I dont like that they take your backpack at the entrance, my backpack is my purse, so tend to not go in lately because that. Its ok if I have big bags to store them, but storing my purse at the front is an unpleasant experience.
I extremely dislike my overall experience everytime arrive at this store and have to interact with the Jamaica clown at the front entrance who retrieves my bag as I go proceed to shop.His decorum is so atypical .He unequivocally does not have any self awareness of customer service or just being a morally sane human being.He is rude and presents a very perplexed look upon his face which makes me wonder how as well who employed this individual.SHAME ON YOU V.I.M...NEVER SHOPPING HERE AGAIN!!!!!!!
All good but a little bit cluttered for me. If you se something you like in one of those tight spots, the staff thinks you are steeling something. I dont like that. My intention when I go into a store is to shop and size or just buy after Ive already sized. Only because I found great deals I gave this store 3 stars. I really wouldve given it 1.75. If such a thing.
This place is continually low on stock of everything at least in my size 10-11. Its really annoying. Theft here is rampant apparently(mugshots everywhere) yet shoes are stocked out on the floor(makes no sense) and attached to anti theft devices which make properly trying on shoes uncomfortable and a hassle. Deals are good sometimes but its annoying when you buy a pair and next time you come its on sale. Also needs more staff asking for help is a chore especially when it gets busy.
I Love V. I. M. My husband always goes here to by clothes for him and shoes for us but today I finally buy myself something. I always wanted to by myself clothes here and My wish came true. Thank you so much for all the Lovely Ladies that help me today. They made my day.
Great variety, affordable prices on brand names
Great prices on good quality clothing! The loss prevention team in the front of the store is a bit too aggressive, and could afford to take it down a notch. The checkout experience tends to take too long as well. However, VIM is overall a decent place to shop with nice things for both men and women!
Nice clothes good customer service
Good place to shopping
Wow... Their staff is incredibly rude. My blood was boiling in this store. They need to be trained. Most awful experience ever. They have nice stuff but only two employees were willing to help. Why are people in customer service if they hate people? Ridiculous
Decent store with recent collection at a reasonable price. The only thing missing was more people to assist as you have to ask for your size if its not available there. And gor most part, I had to wait for some time to get someone to assist. Also, the people assisting were helping but could have been a little more pleased while doing so
Well stocked with a lot of great items
My husband shops at this location because he can get great jeans here at affordable prices. Changing rooms are available. Second floor has a wide variety of shoes for both men and women. No parking available so thats something to consider.
The really need to make this store cleaner than it is!! To cramp in V.I.M.S cashiers need to be more grateful thay have employment!! Also it is way to gloomy inside I always feel like it is raining out in this establishment.
Store front door security ( The Jamaican guy with dreads tied up ) ran up behind me after I showed him my receipt for my purchased item. Employee accosted ( shoved ) me pulling the door in as I proceeded to leave the store aggressively. The gentleman as well used his fist to punch the glass door as a veiled threat to inflict fear and began shouting disparaging comments with use of profanity at me. He began to pace back and forth saying he will do it again as 2 of his colleagues held him back. His ploy was to intimidate and provoke me with a perplexed look as proceeded to leave the store.
Great clothing and style plus awesome service. They also ask for identification which shows how they make sure your cards arent being used by some other person. Just wish for a little more variety ,but Keep it up!!
Great deals great prices just get bigger sizes or go up one size bcuz some of the stuff are European cut
Worse V.I.M. store I have ever encountered.... I called before traveling to this location for a particular item all the way from Co-op. The first reason why they get a 1 star is cause i went thru literally 4 people that barely understood a simple request before they finally transfer me to management. I explain I was looking for a size 4.5 and wanted to know if they were available at this location so I know if traveling time would be necessary especially because I was coming from afar. The manager replied yes they have sizes 4.5 In the item I am looking for. I explain are you sure cause I am coming very far. Yes yes we have size 4.5s. Plural! Anywho after an almost 2 hour trip to get there I finally arrived at the location. Headed downstairs to retrieve the item to find out the item was disgustingly unbuyerable and it was only one available. It was dirty and looked as if someone worn them outside for a couple of days. It took me at least 20 mins to be assisted by a floor sales rep when they had at least 8 of them stocking and lounging with one another. When I finally did talk to a floor rep and request if they had another 4.5 in my item, cause I was assured there would be more then one size 4.5 in this product being that i came so far. He claims the mis shaped item was all they had left. I was told to speak to the manager about my concerns. Which I did when spoke to the manager he TRIED to sell me the disgusting item. Explaining I can just clean them myself. Smfh. All the items also did not have the required packaging needed to keep the items intact and sellerable. Moral of the story I wasted 4 hours of a trip to get nothing as promised on the phone and customer service was unbelievably unprofessional. V.I.M. stores all around are really going down hill. Another marketing business that will soon go out of business due to lack of organizing and professionalism.
Good variety of clothes. However, I was unable to find a decent pair of jeans for my size. Youd have to find jeans two times bigger. Thats if you dont like your jeans too loose.
Love to shop here price is always good
Clean even though the clothes are cheap
Times truly changed. Lived here all my life and New policy of harassing honest customers purchasing merchandise and accosted by so call security asking certain black patrons for proof of purchase.
The shoes/clothing are a okay option and price. I bought shoes but the stitching wasnt good for me so I returned it a day later and they said only cash back..I used a card and what if I wanted the money back on my card. They didnt know what to say the and the workers werent very nice. Plus they have a annoying scanning system where you need to scan the item before and after you leave. So you went from one line to buy the item then on another line just to leave the store. PLUS IF its your first time visiting the store for example you wouldnt know the policy and you would waist even more time not knowing which line to stand on first; For example when returning an item. Its okay but some of the workers need to be nicer and more helpful. Especially the person standing at the Entrance of the store scanning.
Decent selection.Good prices..but they do too much checking bags and receipts on the way out.Really disrespectful.
I will never shop there again. They are unbelievable unconcerned about the people and their children that come into the store. I was in there and could find my son in asked them to turn the music down and they did nothing. Just continued to work will I was running through the store crying trying to find my son.
A wide variety of shirts, pants and shoes. They will have something for you no matter your taste of fashion. Plus, the music they play isnt bad either.
👍
The cashiers are polite and friendly. The store is not exceptional but it is decently organized and the prices are affordable. I would definitely shop here again.
I get really cheap kicks at VIM, whenever I go to New York thats where I shop.
Best place to get jeans, graphic tees and sneakers. They have a variety of sizes to fit people. In addition, they do sell socks, underwear, undershirt etc. They also sell trendy baseball caps, branded book bags, and small trendy bags. They also dont only sell jeans and shirts, they have jackets to go with your outfits, 2 match piece sets(like joggers and hoodies) Overall, there close are up to date with trends and fashion thats going on today but they dont go ro crazy. This place is affordable unless your buying something like sneakers that are expectedly going to be expensive. This store also provides a dressing room if you want to try on clothes. I would 100% recommend this store to get jeans and other clothing items.
All I have to say is Sales Sales Sales omg very good clothes, shoes. I brought 2 pairs of boots, going back for some sneakers I seen that I like. Yes lord 🤔😄👍👍👍👍
Always enjoy shoppingDont go for the service
Im very happy with my order, never have that experience. I order on Sunday, and I got it on Tuesday. And free shipping. 5 star.
You can always find something here for the entire fam. Good pricing and great variety.. clean also with helpful staff.
Vim on the ave has changed alot i love the way it looks from the outside friendly works and work very fast i was 8n and out of vims in 20 minutes no tax as well will be going back soon seen some kicks i had my eyes on.
I like this place!! EVERY trip to NYC I stop here! awesome clothes
Found what I needed right away. My only issue is the sneakers I bought were a few dollars more expensive that what was originally shown.
A bunch of low lifes
It was wonderful for me.the WORKERS TREATED ME WITH RESPECT,ME BEING A SENIOR,WITH ARTHRITIS.I GOT EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED IN BOOTS,THANK YOU VERY MUCH,ILL BE BACK FOR MY 👟 👟 SNEAKERS.
Everytime I visit Vim storeThey always out of stock in shoesI can never find my size 8 1/2 or 9The store in Hempstead on main Street isThe worse no store helper around u have to get the managerI spoke with the manager I want b coming back👎👎👎👎
When Im in NY Vim has always been my spot for sneakers prices be reasonable but some brands seem to never have my size in stock
Polite staff, well-organized aside from a few exceptions, generally well-stocked...the service has gotten progressively better over the years.
I like him store the door have a lot of plus size and just good with the customers there prices r also a very good deal
Great vims. They sell nice clothes for men and woman. Some a little on the pricey side though cheap looking. Always can find great discounts on jeans for male and female. I find the males clothing to be better here and more of than female. Downstairs the shoe department is great. You can definately get some good prices on brand sneakers for all ages and the shoes for male and females are decent and nicely priced. If youre into good quality and discounted shopping vims is the place to go.
Great prices and great quality clothes and shoes
Local and always have great deals for everyone

2022-03-30I bought shoe yesterday below model. But it’s size up. It’s not fit for me. Today I came for exchange the manager said no way to exchange and look like he don’t want to talk and he said it’s closing time. He is very rude. I never come this place. I spent money as like garbage. Totally I’m disappointed this store. So guys before entry this store please think twice. And see my shoe photo what’s wrong.

2022-02-05The staff were very rude. Like I was bothering her to get a pair of shoes. When they didnt have the size I needed I opted to return because I refuse to support a company that treat customers like this. They refused to give me a receipt when I did the return. Then I explained to the manager that his employees are rude and his response was okay. I said to him you wont last long if you continue to treat customers this way and his response was we were here for a long time and we will still be here. Sad truly sad. Never get my business again. Went right over to Footlocker.

2021-11-22My 6 daughters and I always get our sneakers from here, its our sneaker spot! Also got some cute trendy, fashionable tops upstairs for my tweens. Clothes sizes tend to run small. Cute ripped jeans as well. Reasonable prices without a doubt. Lines move quickly.

2020-11-28V.I.M was a good shopping adventure. the only negative I experience with this chain was that the cashiers DO NOT HAVE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE/SUPPORT that they should: for example, you call to say you are looking for an item that they carry and it shows that they have the last one, can you hold it?a respond from them would be we dont hold stuff if you reach and we dont have thats on you ....WT$! so this is where the customer would request to speak with the manager to resolve this petty issue ( check if item is in stock, ask how long for customer arrival, let the customer knows how long it will be on hold for base upon their time of arrival etc) happy customer great Review.....a special SHOUT-OUT to T, the store manager who took care of my need🥇#mynewkicksforwork#2ndpair#comfortable#unfortunatelyidonotrep.theLgbt🤦🏾♀️#justlovethecolorcontrast🌈

2022-02-24Bring in some Tommy Hilfiger Náutica some nice loose fitting denim jeans and some nice looking sweaters and Nike footwear all these would make vim a spectacular place to shop.
