If you have limitless patience and all the time in the world, shop at Jos. A Bank. If you have nothing else to do leading up to your wedding than worry if your suit will arrive on time, never mind fit, shop at Jos. A Bank. If you enjoy paying a lot of money in a store where the sales people can't even crack a smile, this is your place! And, if after constant hassles and repeated trips to the store dealing with their continuous mess-ups you want to be reprimanded by the sales person, ASK FOR JOSH!
Please, take your business elsewhere. We couldn't have imagined a worse experience. The customer service was horrific and it took about 6 trips to the store to get it right.
My fiancé and I went in to buy a suit for our wedding. After telling the salesperson what we were looking for, he (Mark?) very kindly told us to come back on Wednesday as the suit would be at a huge discount. We came back on sale day and ordered the suit. The suit came in days later and we went in to get it marked for alterations. So far, so good.
About a week later, and about a one month from the wedding date, the store called to let us know that the suit was ready to be picked up. The next day we went to pick it up and the suit was NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. They ordered another one and made a point of saying that they were graciously giving it to us at no charge. Wow, thanks!
(We feel sorry for the poor soul who was given the wrong suit and maybe discovered it too late.)
The new suit came in the next day and we again went in to get it marked up. They rushed the alterations, and we went back the following day to pick it up. As my fiancé has just come from the construction job site, he didn't want to try it on in the store so we took it home.
When he finally tried on the suit, we discovered the pants were far too short. We went back to the store YET AGAIN, and told them the problem. There was no apology, no acknowledgement that this about our fifth trip to the store. They said they would redo the hem on the pants. After measuring the pants again, the sales person (manager?) Josh told us to come back the following day before 3:30 and the pants would be ready.
To this point, we had been more than patient and even attempted to make jokes with the salespeople on several occasions about the crazy "mix ups" with the suit. We could hardly get a smile out of any of them. On this day, on our way out the door, we actually gave them more business by buying a pair of shoes.
We walked into the store the following day at 3pm as instructed. Josh looked at us without any recognition and asked if he could help us. We reminded him who we were from the day before, and he went to look for the suit. After several minutes he came back and asked for our name. We reminded him and he went back again to look for the suit. He finally emerged with it, handed it to my fiancé, and said, "You should have called to say you were coming in. I need to leave early today."
Well, the suit finally fits although it needs a good press after the hem had been taken up... and then down again. You'd think maybe they could have given us a pressed suit after all that? Ha, we now know that would be asking far too much. No, instead all we got was Josh's bad attitude and rude comment that we should have called, when it was less than 24 hours earlier that he told us to come back before 3:30.
I wish I had read these other Yelp reviews before we stepped foot into this nightmare.... read more
