I have a big heavy, Japanese style blanket that I took to Capri Cleaners over a month ago. They have you pay for the dry cleaning up front - and for this blanket, I paid $15. About 2 weeks later, I receive a phone call from them that went to voicemail. Their voicemail said that there was a concern about cleaning the blanket due to a lot of lint on it. They asked that I call back to see if I still wanted it cleaned. So I called back and left a message that Yes, I still wanted the blanket cleaned. 3 weeks go by, and I don't hear anything from them, so I decided to go in. I lost my ticket, and explained to the person at the counter why I was there. He goes back to look for my blanket, then comes up with another guy and says that they don't have my blanket. I explained that yes, they do have my blanket, that I received a phone call from them about the lint. They go back and find the blanket and come back. The second guy explained that they were still waiting to hear from me on whether I wanted it cleaned since the lady doing it would not be able to remove the lint. I told him that I called back the same day they called me and left a message saying that I wanted it cleaned, and that I still wanted it cleaned. They said okay. A week later, I received a phone call from a woman saying that she cannot wash my blanket. apparently there is something on the blanket that would get on other clothing when washed together? If that was an issue, it should have been brought to my attention a month ago! I feel like they just didn't want to dry clean my blanket for me.
A Half hour after posting this review, I received a call from the owner, Jen. She explained to me that she decided to reject my blanket due to not hearing from me. However, after seeing my review here, she realized that I had been in contact with one of her employees, and the message was never passed on to her. She's already spoken to the employees about the need to communicate, and she's going to wash my blanket for me for free. She said that blankets are washed separate from clothing, so she wasn't sure why her employee had told me over the phone that lint/whatever would get on other items. I'm so glad she called me, and I'll definitely be a customer for years to come! It's customer service like this that changed my 2 star review to 5 stars. Keep up the great work, Jen! read more
