Overpriced alterations and unfriendly service. The manager suggested that to alter the hem of a…read moredress would cost me $60 due to the degree of effort required, emphasising such words as: 'its very very hard to do'. I asked her for a variation in price by suggesting to just hem by a machine stitch to which she still insisted it would cost $40. I pointed out that a straight stitch does not involve any manual hem work but rather just running the machine across the hemline. She made excuses to justify why the inflated costs was necessary. I stated that she was overpriced and that other businesses in the area would deliver the same work for 50% less in cost. She screamed at me as I was walking out making a comment that I had no clue as to what I was talking about. Fortunately I do understand dress making and therefore cannot support a business owner who intentionally lies about the difficulty in the work to take more money off customers. I later located an honest dressmaker in Preston, High st, who understood what was involved and instantly offered me top quality work at half the price - and suggested the manual hem (not the machine stitch) so as to maintain the quality of the outfit. When I informed her that the other seamstress suggested the work was very hard, she stated that a professional seamstress should not find any hemwork to be difficult. If you are intending to get your clothes mended here - please look at other places nearby. Xing Wang do not offer honest and fair prices, and takes advantage of people.

There was an absolute stench of wet dog that could not be masked, and a thick coating of dog fur on all the carpets. I contacted Jim's Cleaning Group about the issue, and was shortly put in contact with the JCG owner directly who was eager to help. They talked me through the possibilities and their recommendations. They handled the problem quickly and expertly, communicating and organising everything to suit me. They went to great lengths to make sure the job was done, and followed up to makes sure that I was happy with the service. I absolutely would recommend Jim's Carpet Cleaning/Jim's Cleaning Group.

It's the great human leveler. Our laundry is currently being renovated which means the washing machine is out of use and when we get to desperation point of having only one pair of socks left in the drawers we know we need to do a massive wash. What's great about Rainbow Bubbles is that they have plenty of machines of varying sizes so you can do your lights, darks and linens all at the same time and in under 35 minutes. It's around $4-$5 for a standard load of washing, though don't forget to bring your own washing liquid/powder. Dryers are $1 per 8 minutes and are massive, meaning you should be able to dry a lot all at once if you so desire. Open 24 hours, with parking out front and a convenience store next door who happily gives you change it's a pretty convenient place to get laundry done.
