I had rented from this establishment once before last year and had no problem, but upon renting 2 children's tables and 12 chairs over this past weekend, I will NEVER use this place again. I called twice during the week and spoke to Leslie about renting these items but I was not sure until Saturday morning that I actually wanted to order from them. I spoke to a rep one last time Sat morn and finalized a quote and send my husband to their location while I was busy working to pick up 2 childrens tables and 12 white childrens folding chairs. I got home very last Sat eve from work and the items were still in our SUV so that the children would not see them which were going to be used during a surprise princess party the next day (Sunday/yesterday).
So Sunday morning I began cleaning house and went to the trunk to unload the items and to my surprise and DISMAY, I found that all the little folding chairs were BLUE AND NOT WHITE AS ORDERED AND AS STATED ON MY INVOICE!!! At this point I am mortified as my whole house had been decorated PINK AND PURPLE for the princess party theme down to the table cloths and the BLUE presented a HUGE TACKY CLASH! My husband told me that he had no idea they didn't give him the correct chairs, no one informed him there was a shortage or would be a change in what I had ordered. Next, upon setting the tables up, they were uneven. One was 22" and one was 26" high. On their website, they specify that the 48" round children's tables are 20" high which would match the chair height perfectly, but in actuality they are NOT! The chairs did not sit at a proper length for the children to comfortably enjoy. Both of the tables even had 1 leg that was missing a protective cap which scratched my living room floor.
Rental Stop was closed on Sunday, but I emailed Leslie all my concerns before the party that morning and she responded in the afternoon that she would investigate it once they reopened on Monday (today). At 9:15 I did not hear from Leslie although she told me previously that she comes in at 8, I called and asked to speak with a manager.
George Nash was the manager that I spoke with and by his tone, attitude, and refusal to truly receive my consumer concerns, I can honestly say that HE IS NOT ONE THAT CARES ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE OR THE ACCURACY OF AN ORDER. He hung up on me before our conversation was complete and he stuck to the notion that his employee SAID that they informed my husband at pick up that there was only 1 white chair left in the warehouse and only blue could fulfill our order and that my husband OKAY'D it. My husband told me for sure that he did no such thing, but George refuted my statements and backed his employee that "wrote it down that my husband okayed the change", yet the invoice still reflected 12 white chairs were rented, which was also inaccurate.
I did not received the value for the money I paid, their care for consumers is shockingly low and their manager could give a flip less about customer satisfaction. I will gladly take my business elsewhere and avoid sloppy, shabby and dishonest business practices in the future. George said that he would email their district manager (Jim Cornelius) about adjusting my payment for a partial refund on the tables, but he wouldn't do anything on the chairs because of his employee's "word". Simply disgusting. Please don't waste your time here. read more
