Have a Heart - Belltown

Yeah I'm going to be brutally honest on this review. This place used to be AMAZING okay albeit a little pricey but it was worth it, now the budtenders are either rude or extremely incompetent. I've had an online order with text confirmation and everything, ended up arriving an hour later just so they could say my order wasn't even in their system. And don't get me started on their website, it actually used to be the better end of sites than most dispensaries in the WA area. Then they decided to go change it out of the blue and now it's complete garbage, half the time I can't even find very the products they actually have IN store. Again used to be great place now they just rip you off or you can't even find what you're looking for. Not to mention the cartridge skimping.

I have been a fan of Have a Heart for several years and a frequent customer. The service and selection have always been great, even if the line wait times for both preorder and in-store have been increasing to as long as an hour. Last Sunday I purchased 2 cartridges at the store from a reputable brand that I’ve purchased many times before. I tried the first cartridge and it didn’t work. I’ve never had this happen before. I opened the second cartridge and it worked without issue. The next day I took the non-working cartridge back for an exchange. The clerk tested and determined the cartridge was defective and returned the unit. He then promptly turned around and tried to charge me more for the exchange and blamed the issue on the POS. I refused to pay additional for an exchange and he figured out how to make it work. Fast forward a few more days and I am out of town and went to use the exchanged cartridge. The new exchanged cartridge is also defective. Since I am out of town and there is a 7 day return policy, I calculate I will be on my 7th day when I return. As soon as I am back in town, I return to the store to exchange the second defective cartridge. The second cartridge was tested and determined to also be defective, but the clerk would no longer exchange the defective product. The reason he said is because the 7 days has passed. The reason the 7 days has passed is that my arrival back at the store was 1.5hrs past the time stamp of the previous defective cartridge exchange. The clerk was rude and became defensive when pressed on the rules by stating that its Cannabis and I am lucky there is any exchange policy at all. I explained how this is awful customer service and the small placard sitting next to each register and the fine print on the receipts do not have any such restrictions to the definition of 7 days and they still refused. I asked for the product back and walked out of the store. I looked up the Washington State law which has no restrictions on return duration. Later that evening I visited a new retailer and purchased a cartridge. Before purchasing I asked for an explanation of their defective cartridge exchange policy. Their policy is 14 days and there is no purchase time restriction in the day calculation. I have separately tried to contact Have a Heart by email and have not received a response. I would highly recommend taking your business elsewhere as the customer service values and policy controls do not align.

Man I really hate to give these guys a 1star review... but one guy spoils it for the rest. Literally have spent multiple of thousands of dollars at this shop, it's always my go to place, awesome selection decent value and the online ordering is perfect if you're on a time crunch. I came in today after I made an online order, stood in line like everyone else and when it get to my turn I like to be ready.... ID ready, cash in hand and paying attention to the customer in front of me. Well the young lady in front of me had finished her transaction and walked away from the counter... this is when I got to meet 'Raz' or that's what he said his name was. I walk up to the counter and before saying hello, or hi how are you (like every interaction I've ever had here) the first words out of his mouth were, "I didn't call you up to the counter yet, you need to wait your turn". Not only was he extremely rude but I thought it was a joke because that's how off putting it was to me as a very loyal costumer. I was in no way on the heels of the young lady in front of me by any means, she was almost out of the store when I started walking up to the counter. Needless to say this left a sour taste in my mouth. So I want to give a special shout out to Raz, you single handily made it so I felt obligated to give a 1-star review, on not one, but all platforms that Have a Heart Belltown uses. Don't be put off by this review, this place is awesome and they're 99% of the time customer first and do it with a smile, not the case with Raz, unnecessarily rude.
