Every aspect of my Giblees experience was a complete and utter NIGHTMARE. They are rude, made major mistakes, and worse yet they made absolutely NO effort to correct anything or even apologize. I have never written a review before, but this was such a bad experience that I felt compelled to.
As a groomsman for a friends wedding I was told that they decided on Giblees for Tuxedo rental. The following is a brief summary of my experiences with them:
The Tux fitting: When I gave them the name of the bride and groom I was told that I was in the wrong place and that there was no record of them. I insisted that I was in the right place, but still I was turned away. I was even told that "Mr Giblee" had a brother with a competing business of the same name and that I should go there. I left, called the groom and confirmed that I was in the right store. I went back and again insisted that I was in the right place. This time I described what the bride looked like and stated that the groom was away in the military. Finally they said "Oh come to think of it they were just in here the other day." I was then measured for the tux.
Picking up my Tux: I was never called and informed that the tux was ready. I had to call three times, first being told that there was no record of my order, then hung up on after 10 minutes on hold, and finally I was told "it's been here, someone should have called you." When I arrived and tried on the tux the shirt was not even close to fitting, five sizes too big. Pants were way too tight in the rear and thighs. I asked for a different size but was told that they would have to order them. I was then promised that the pants would be in before the wedding and that they would be "overnighted" from the supplier.
I then called back Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (the day of the wedding). Each time I was told that the pants would be on the next delivery truck and that I would be called as soon as they arrived. I was NEVER called, not a single time, and I even confirmed my phone number each time I spoke with them. Bottom line is the pants never showed up and I was forced to wear the tight ones in the wedding. I was extremely uncomfortable and this absolutely ruined my night.
THE WORST PART: The day after the wedding I went into Giblees to return the tux and asked to speak with a manager. I spoke with the General Manager, told him this exact story and explained how unacceptable my experience was. He was not at all apologetic and shrugged off my complaints. He told me that he would "look into it and get back to [me]." A week later NOTHING, no call, no apology, no refund.
Trust me, avoid this place at all cost and don't give them a dime. I can't even imagine how a store that operates like this stays in business. read more
