I wish I could give zero stars to this Jos A Banks location in Pentagon City Mall!!! My husband bought 3 suits from this location on October 7. It is now December 19 and he still does not have his suits. OVER TWO MONTHS!
On first purchase, the store associate who helped him said that he would call when they came in, which would be in 3-5 days from purchase. (As is typical from my husband's previous purchases from Jos A Banks.) He was never called when they came in (to measure for alterations) so when he called a week later, a woman at the store checked and said they were in. We went over there, and two of the three suits were there, so he was fitted. It was extremely annoying that all three suits were not in but since all three suits were the exact same, the alterations "expert" said that he would match the 3rd suit.
Again, no call when suits were ready, so my husband called about a week later and they were said to be ready. We went in and he tried them on. One of the suits had not been altered at all. The jackets did not fit. One of the pair of pants were uneven by about a 2 INCH difference at the bottom. At one point, a store associate tried to convince my husband that the pant legs were even!!! As we sat there, and all looked at these clown pants!! It was comical- I thought it was a joke or a hidden camera show. Sadly, it was not! Nothing fit correctly. The store said they would fix the alterations mistakes.
Once again, my husband was not contacted about suits being ready, it was going on 2-3 weeks, so he called and spoke with the Store Manager, Nathaniel, who seems to work very limited hours. Working around Nathaniel's schedule, we went back while the store manager was present and when my husband tried on the "fixed" suits, they were AGAIN incorrect and did not fit well. Pants were off on length again and one of the suit jackets was extremely snug. This is the fourth time we are making the drive over to this location for this process and still NO suits! He was re-fitted again and Nathaniel, the Store Manager, said they would completely re-order the suits and start from scratch and alterations would be free.
In the meantime, my husband missed black Friday deals on suits, Christmas deals at other stores, etc. And not to mention, his 3 new suits that he planned to have for the holiday season (and two weddings that we attended) never materialized. Where in the world does it take over two months to get suits?!?!? Custom suits from Italy don't even take that long!!!!!
My husband has been a long time Jos A. Banks customer. He has bought tons of suits from other locations without any problem. I've told him to get his money back and we can go to another location, but he's giving it one last try to see if they are ok. He is going back over there today to pick up the new suits in hopes that they are correct. I highly doubt they will be. I couldn't drive over there with him one more time so he's going solo this time. This management team and the sales associates at this location in Pentagon City Mall have zero respect for their customers and have been extremely apathetic to this crazy situation. The only person who even seemed to care was the alterations guy, and he doesn't appear to know how to do alterations based on what I've seen so far from that store. Once my husband gets these suits (if that even happens?), we will NEVER shop at this location again. We may even switch to Men's Wearhouse as my husband has never had any issues with that company in the past either.
It's a shame that this has gone on so long and that the store management does not seem to care or follow up on any of this. Suits are not cheap, time is not cheap, and this is completely unacceptable and ridiculous quality and customer service! Jos A Banks should be ashamed of this location! read more
