Last week, I took three outfits for a wedding to be pressed, ironed, not drycleaned, to the Wilmington island branch of Curry Dry Cleaners. The wedding was being held in Europe and I was leaving this Wednesday. I asked the staff at the desk when they would be ready and she told me to come on Monday. It would be ready by Monday, she guaranteed. The invoice came to 37 dollars which surprised me because these were simply unstitched silk material. I wanted them pressed because they are easier to pack in your carryon baggage. Today, that is, Tuesday, I went to pick them up after work, and the same lady told me that it was not there and that it was at the Derenne branch and that it was on their truck and it was not there yet. She had told me last week that it would be there on MONDAY. I was a little taken aback and asked her when it would be there and she asked me to come back any time after 3:30pm. So I went there at 4pm to pick it up. The same lady told me that it was not there. I was shocked. I was in a complete panic at that point because I was going for a wedding in less than 24 hours and I didn't have anything else to wear to the wedding. I need my clothes, I told the lady; I am leaving for Europe for a wedding tomorrow. I have nothing to wear. You said they would be here Monday, and then today, and they are not here. She then told me that she would have the truck deliver it to my work Wednesday morning! I just couldn't believe it or believe anything she said or Curry Drycleaners said. Are they at least pressed? I asked her. No, she told me. They are not pressed. They were under something somewhere. Somehow they didn't look at it for 5 days!!! I told her that I don't want them pressed and that I will drive to Derenne and pick them up because I just wanted my clothes back. I will press them myself. She said they close at 5pm. It was 4:20 pm by then with all the explanation. I lit out from Wilmington island at 4:20 -- the traffic on 80 and Truman were brutal. I reached the Derenne store at 4:45 pm and picked up the untouched, unpressed clothes. I was simply appalled at how irresponsible they were. I will never trust Curry Drycleaners again. It was traumatic. read more
