Don't trust Jeeves with your silk wedding dress! I did and now have a ruined, worthless dress. And both the owner and the drycleaner refuse to acknowledge any responsibility, let alone apologise - or refund the $400+ dry cleaning fee or compensate me for a $3000 new dress.
At the time I left the dress for cleaning (which had predominately a dirty hemline and train), the dry cleaner showed me a silk dress which had been adversely affected by dry cleaning. BUT he urged me to trust him to clean mine carefully based on his 20+ years of experience in the business and HE accepted the job. Jeeves' website also claims that they have machines to clean ALL types of wedding dress materials.
After taking 5 months to finish the cleaning, I was shocked to be confronted with my dress. The skirt fabric was no longer a brilliant white, with body and a glistening sheen, but limp, dull and discoloured - the integrity of the fabric gone.
They now maintain that dry cleaning thai silk ALWAYS ends up this way. If this is true, why would they ever agree to clean such a dress??
In addition to the unacceptable result, the owner has behaved less than impressively in terms of customer service. He didn't reply to my emailed letter of complaint and when I visited the store subsequently, he didn't identify himself as the owner and pretended not to know details of the situation. read more
