Arundel Antique Village Group Shop

I'll likely never come back to this shop after today. I really enjoyed coming here and I nearly passed up the chance to get an antique I really wanted. I accidentally caught someone who works there at a bad time. I apologized for catching them at the wrong time, genuinely trying to apologize. This person immediately thought I was being rude, snapped at me openly and loudly and embarrassed me on the spot when I was just trying to legitimately apologize for being in the wrong in the first place. I was already having a terrible day, I came here to relax and find some treasures. Instead I felt embarrassed, and when I did want someone else to help me. The person who snapped in the first place made it a point to finish my transaction anyways. And I was talked down too during that process. Trying to be genuinely apologtic got me verbally snapped at and embarrassed. Now I get to deal with the anxiety attack for the rest of the day. The whole situation was unnecessary and I don't think I'll ever come back. I'm disappointed because I really enjoyed this place until now. Still recommend for others. Just not me or anyone I know.

Went in looking for a specific item for our woodstove, but the staff could not have been more uninterested in helping us, and were prompt to tell us we had just minutes to finish shopping after having just arrived. Though we were quick to look around being mindful of their operating hours, we left early without seeing anything else, and on our way out while clearly trying to locate an exit we were told “we close in about 60 seconds”. Truly felt like we were a bother just being there.

This review is for the adjacent Flea Market and not the antiques group shop. I arrived at 5 a.m. in total darkness and found many dealers parked by their chosen weather-beaten tables. The usual sharks w their flashlights, hoping to spot a deal and to buy it for far less, running amok. Retail folks started to arrive at 8:30 and in full force by 10 when Antiques USA and Arundel Antiques Village both open, which both flank the Flea Market. By 11 it’s pretty much over and I departed just a tad after 12. This was my second time here. The management are very nice, the rent for the tables is very reasonable. The snack bar has a very creative menu and the gal who runs it is very nice.
