Ak Starfish

Absurdly expensive for low-quality clothing, and the pushiest salespeople I have ever experienced - they just would not leave me alone. I was followed around the store and given a running narration about how "AH-MAZING" everything I looked at was, nattering monologues about the materials, possible uses, the lady last week who bought 3 and loved them, etc. I felt harassed. The faux-cheerfulness and excessive helpfulness evaporated when I didn't end up purchasing the sweatshirt ~$70 for a thin, unremarkable cotton/poly blend that they heckled me into taking up front after I'd tried it on. I'm guessing the salespeople work on commission so I supposed I can't blame them. But - yuck.

The BEST LOCAL business! I have been shopping at this store for years and I still find new items that I cannot do without every time I go in. A great location for finding gifts and the girls are wonderful and willing to help. It is a MUST to go to the Seward and Homer locations during the summer season as well!!

My favorite shop to get unique and local items! The staff is always so warm and friendly and super knowledgeable regarding where products are made and by whom. I love shopping small and supporting local companies and artists and Ak Starfish Co makes that easy to do. It’s a one stop shop for gifts and fun items.

Buyer beware! No returns - exchanges or in store credit only. There’s no prior warning and they just say it’s on your receipt- which you obviously receive AFTER you’ve purchased : I’m all for supporting small local businesses but give people some grace for gifts!

WAY overpriced!!! And return policy sucks! Exchange or in store credit only! Bought some items including a small hydro flask water bottle. The price of the water bottle wasn’t on the bottom and I didn’t even think to ask then after I got home and started thinking about how much the bill was for a water bottle, couple stickers and cards I looked at the receipt. $51 bucks for the water bottle alone!! I ended up finding the same water bottle I bought at Nordstrom Rack for $23!! I know it doesn’t cost THAT much to have a logo added to a water bottle. Everything you pick up in that store is excessively priced! And on top of that they won’t accept returns, only exchanges! Lame!

Definitely spendy. Trendy Alaskan logo wear and goods. For some reason the front door was propped open when it was less than 5 degrees outside. It's too cold for that! I would have stayed in the store longer if it had been more comfortable.

Lots of cute stuff! The employees working were very knowledgeable about the artist's who's work was available in the shop. It was a very enjoyable shopping experience and I was able to find some great gifts for friends!

This company is spectacular!! I’ve been shopping here for years and each time I have an amazing experience. The girls who work at the store are always so welcoming and helpful. Not sure who’s training these ladies their great customer service skills, but keep it up!

WE LOVE AK STARFISH CO. : I have shopped here for sooo many years. They have gifts for everyone! Its the perfect ONE STOP shop for any holiday or any occasion. I would highly recommend this LOCAL boutique. AND how could I forget to mention, all of the employees are so so helpful. They really make the shopping experience fun. Thank you AK STARFISH CO.

Always friendly helpful staff, quality products and the owner is such a caring considerate being. My family shops here for our most comfortable tee shirts and reusable custom Alaskana ingrained hydroflask water bottles. They are a a great solution to buying plastic water bottles and creating more waste on this planet.
