Time after time, I've had great customer service from the rental department--these guys know their gear well, and know how to troubleshoot issues quickly. For my last rental, someone set up my gimbal rig after I placed my order and sent me pictures to illustrate where wireless receiver should go. I've never been helped like that before. Also, Magnanimous has created many "how-to" videos to explain their gear selection to anyone browsing their website. Those videos are super-helpful when selected gear you've never used before. One of the only issues I have with Magnanimous is their online checkout process. For some reason, I cannot get my credit card to process correctly on their website, even though my information is saved through my account wth them. Therefore, I usually call in my order and have someone send me an email confirmation right away. Not ideal, but it works. They also offer one (now two!!) impressive rental studios for hourly or day rates. And there's a 10% gear discount when you shoot in one of the studios. vvCool. I'll be coming back here for years to come!

For anyone that's looked into purchasing a projector screen, those things don't come cheap. My only…read morecomplaint was that we didn't find Jay sooner! My dad had a need for a projector screen and Jay's services saved the day. He was friendly, easy to communicate with and extremely flexible. He is located in the NW suburbs. We picked up the screen at 9:15 on a Friday night and he allowed us to drop back off on Sunday for the contracted rate. His pricing is completely reasonable and fits the bill for any of your needs. Though we were at his home this late, he took the time to show us how to use it and went over it a second time when I asked if I could record him so we wouldn't forget the instructions. He offers screens for outdoor movie nights and much more (think any AV need - speakers, microphones, etc.). Will definitely be recommending his services for future needs. Thank you Jay!

He arrived on time to set things up and stayed until he confirmed that everything was good to go. He was also very accommodating in picking up the equipment later that same day since we had rented the venue for the evening only and wouldn't be able to keep it in the room for the night. Not only will I use his services again, but I'll recommend him to anyone that ever needs a projector. Thanks Jay!

I cannot thank this team enough for their service, the event wouldn't have been the same without their help!

2012 is the year of technology - at least it is in my office…read more My colleague and I are leading the charge to upgrade our current technology platform. We just completed our first implementation, a new CRM system, two weeks ago. Our old CRM had been in place for over 15 years and was a lifeline for our firm's biggest profit center; in other words we couldn't afford to screw this implementation up. When our consultants outlined their recommendations for interactive training sessions, I got worried. Currently, we're not a mobile office; with little exception, everyone's work machine is a desktop. I didn't anticipate asking employees to drag their desktops into our conference room or instituting a "bring your laptop to work" day being viable solutions. Panicked, our consultants suggested we rent machines - something obvious that had never occurred to me. A Google search led me to Meeting Tomorrow, a Chicago-based company that provides computer, AV, and even rental solutions nationally. After perusing their website site and reviewing the few reviews on Yelp, I made contact - admittedly a little hesitant. Their website has a chat feature; I was able to quickly explain my needs and received an initial quote. I was put in touch with an account rep, Anthony, when I was ready to move forward. Anthony was amazing! Based on our needs, he gave us a better deal than I was expecting, in terms of both price and rental period. Since he was a national account rep, he was able to use my order specifications for the rental our Denver office needed to place. Anthony was very responsive, all of my questions were answered quickly; from quote to payment everything was smooth sailing. He had our machines delivered early to ensure we had them in time. Our project had me so harried, I nearly forgot about our rentals; fortunately, he didn't. A crate of Lenovo laptops - each in a laptop bag - arrived well in advance of our scheduled training. When I tested each one, I was thrilled that they connected to our wireless network without issue. At the 11th hour we made the decision to push our go live date back two weeks, which changed our entire training schedule. Concerned, I called Anthony hoping to extend our rental; it was no problem, Anthony gave us the machines for another three weeks (more time than I needed). Within the hour I had a revised agreement and the price increase was very reasonable. The only hiccup came when I returned the machines, but it wasn't Meeting Tomorrow's fault. The shipping crate contained return instructions and zip ties to reseal everything. Missing my chance to arrange a pickup, we tried to send our order back through our local FedEx store to avoid a late return. Frustratingly, they refused the crate, wanting to repack it at a ridiculous cost. Fortunately, Anthony again came to the rescue; he pushed our return date back a day, so that I was able to schedule a pick up an not incur a late penalty. We have at least two more software implementations planned for 2012. I'm not sure if we'll need more laptop rentals, but if we do I wouldn't hesitate to call Meeting Tomorrow again; they're aces.

Do NOT use this service.

I politely said it would be helpful to be told that earlier and they should train their staff to provide the right information. She then hung up on me. This place is a waste of time. This put me in a very challenging position to get the equipment I needed. Do not use for your business as they are unreliable, rude, and clearly don't know what they are doing. If you want a reliable service use another company. You can see from the many 1 star reviews reflected in this.

I completely understand it was a free event and things can get hectic, but the lack of communication from staff really left a bad impression. We RSVP'd ahead of time and had QR codes, yet no one ever asked to check them. Meanwhile, people were being pulled from the line because they knew someone or recognized a famous person. No hate or hard feelings, I get how events work but it definitely felt frustrating for the people who actually registered and waited patiently. Better communication and organization would have made a huge difference.
