What clients say about Acushnet River Antiques LLC in New Bedford (MA)
A little pricey compared to other antique stores in the vicinity. I was able to find two items that were not overpriced. Staff was very accommodating. The handicap ramp was closed due to ice and snow. Interesting assortment of items.
Cool antique but the prices are Insane, you’re lucky if you find any small sign $35 or under. I understand value is antique items, I’ve been to many many stores, this one has by far the highest unreasonable prices.
An antique store that has allot of interesting things to see. Whether you're looking for a lamp or glassware or jewelery they have allot to choose from. A clean place to have a look around too
Very large center with lots of great antiques. Plan to wander for a few hours. Be aware they have no A/C, so if its hot and you are sensitive, I would wait.
I was looking for an old paint box to store my watercolor brushes in. I didn't find that, but I'll keep looking. In the meantime I found a lovely dove-tailed walnut box that might do very well, with a reasonable price. Lol
Very nice staff here. Shop is well set up and reasonably priced. They honored a price refund on an item for my grandson. They genuinely went above and beyond.
Haven't been there in a year and recognized some of the stock from back then.. doesn't seem like there's much turnover. Left empty-handed. Shop is clean and nicely laid out and the help is Pleasant
I went shopping for a copper mixing bowl. I found a good one. However I was amused by the Donald Trump Pampers or dryer happier babies sign. Definitely looks like Donald Trump on the stump.
Took hours to walk thru all the sections of antiques, had such a great time. Easy to find, plenty of parking. Prices were very reasonable I found a couple of treasures I just had to get. I will definitely go again.
Amazing place with great finds. You may have to look a little deeper into some booths but its worth if you find what you really love. Staff is friendly and very welcoming as well. Always there if you have a question or need a recommendation.
There's alot to see and actually a vintage lesson! To see what people collect, the value, you could be in there for hours so plan accordingly. I never leave withoit biying something and now that I have my own shop i am always in search and find good pricing.
Sadly, the clerks at the front desk made our visit a very unpleasant experience. They questioned a previously very obvious price once they had removed the tag, suggest a $40 item was $8 higher after having damaged the tag in taking it off; leaving us feeling very much as though they were saying we were being dishonest. The price was not so much the issue as the principle. This was followed by another member of our party being blatantly ignored in asking to see something in the front case after the clerk originally acknowledged the request. The people paying the rent in these booths lost probably $100 in sales due to the rude behavior of the desk staff. Over the years, we have spent a great deal of money here but this was truly an unacceptable experience.
In response to the vendor response as I don't know how to reply otherwise, it was this Tuesday, April 18th, midday. Thank you for addressing this. It was a very unpleasant ending to our visit due to the unprofessional behavior of the staff. We were disappointed not to have been able to make those purchases.
My wife and I enjoy walking through. We always spend a couple hours here. You can walk through 100 times and see something different every time. Always reminds me of my grandparents. They had many of the items for sale there.
The women who cashed me out was completely unprofessional and rude. She thought sales tax was applied to essential clothing items, in MA the law states all essential clothing and garnet items are tax free unless lux items. She began to get rude and actually mock me. Also very expensive here. Do not recommend going.
UPDATE: 2 years later and it's still the best! The staff have their hands out to help and the antiques are quality, original, trendy and fun. Once again, I covered the counter with superb finds to furnish a boat garage! So excited! Thanks!!
The selection is amazing and the inventory and the way it is laid out is top-notch. I suppose my only little complaint is that it's been "found," so the different vendors prices are all over the place. Some of the items are just completely out of whack with what they are. It's not that I'm necessarily looking for a good deal, I'll pay for it great item, but some of the prices are just over the top.
The owner is five stars and although I'm a little disappointed that it's been discovered, I'm glad for them and I hope they do amazing. It's worth a trip from out of state
I would rate this place five stars on selection and two stars on price. There are many vendors under one roof, as is common. There is more ephemera, decor, decorative items, and whimsical items on offer here than the the other similar place, Antiques at The cove. Unfortunately, since the vendors here have to make their rent payment, they want a big profit on every piece. So prices are too high across the board. If I was a decorator shopping on an expense account, for a rich couple that had just bought a new Cape house and wanted a bunch of whimsical decor, I could go to town here!!!! . But for my personal home the stuff is just too expensive.
Great place to spend a couple hours slowly strolling to find unique items in every category you could think of. Place is massive and pricing seems very reasonable. Worth a drive
There is certainly a wide range of items available here and some of those items are on the lower end, but the good stuff they have is extremely good, Kathy is wonderful. And when we could not find something we had purchased, they were going to refund our money based, strictly, on our word (thank you Connie). We did find the item before they mailed the check so we were embarrassed and relieved both at the same time but we had an outstanding experience here and have every intention of going back next time we are anywhere close.
I really liked this antique mall. There was a very diverse selection of antique Americana. It did not include the "1970s" antiques you so often see. I like wooden duck decoys and they had more here than I have seen anywhere. The people were all friendly and everything was clean despite the old warehouse setting.
Very well organized, nice antiques, not a huge variety of smaller or less expensive items, esp for a crafter, although they do have one fantastic booth geared more towards a crafter, but the rest is more high end antiques, and I did find the staff to be a bit on the snooty, not very outgoing, or friendly side. Maybe they work on commission, but even so... Even MORE so.. They should never judge a book by its cover!
