Main office's response/evasion of responsibility
Ramya A.

My husband and I have been loyal Rick's customers for years. Unfortunately, after our most recent experience with Rick's headquarters, we will not be using this establishment anymore (at any of the locations). We gave 2 shirts for dry cleaning after coming back from a holiday trip this past December, both in fantastic condition - just needed to get the sweat smell out. Both shirts were given back to us with a hole and what looks like sharpie marks!!!! What's worse is that I was the one to notice this, not the employees returning the merchandise to me! How did this pass any quality assurance checks?! Doesn't seem like they take much pride in their work nor do they pay attention to important details. Upon sending the shirts to corporate and corporate attempting to remedy the sharpie marks and attempt to fix the hole, whatever reparative "free services" were done were not done correctly! The hole is still there, where the sharpie marks were it looks like oil stains now, and both shirts valued at $40 and $500 are now unwearable! Knowing this, the main office not only said they are not responsible and there's nothing else they can do, they thought offering free dry cleaning for 5 items only will be sufficient to address the damage done... absolutely not. We will not even be utilizing their free services offer. It simply isn't worth the risk. After following up again with corporate headquarters, Pete's response - the person now responsible for customer service- (response is included in the photos) is sub par! Even if dry cleaners cannot guarantee that they won't make mistakes, outright destruction of property and then refusal to cover the cost of the shirts (I provided receipts and documentation for everything) is UNACCEPTABLE and horrific customer service! We will be taking them to small claims court to recoup the total value of both shirts as well as how much we paid for dry cleaning for both shirts! Due to poor customer service follow up DO NOT get your clothes dry cleaned here.

The service was quick and definitely on the cheaper end! I haven't had any issues with them and it's great to have next day pick up.

Haven't found another place as cheap, nice store, fast. Backing out into Lamar is a drag, but overall solid.

I went back to Rick's the next day, Cynthia took the dress and said she would send it to their customer service department that day.

I would not recommend Press Cleaners and feel strongly that their business model is misleading…read more Summary: Press Cleaners charges a premium for a service they do not actually provide, offers poor customer support, and returned my wedding dress completely uncleaned after missed deliveries and multiple communication failures. I scheduled dry cleaning for my wedding dress and clearly indicated that it was a wedding dress, included care instructions, and noted specific areas with stains that needed attention. From the start, communication was a problem. I attempted to contact customer service to update pickup instructions and received no response. I reached out again with questions about delivery timing once the cleaning was complete, and again received no response. My delivery was delayed by a full day, and the original delivery time window I selected was not honored for the new day. Since no one would be home during the updated window, I contacted customer service yet again and still received no reply. Eventually, a customer service agent called me to say they were unable to remove the stains and would issue a partial store credit. During that call, I asked about the updated delivery time and was told they did not know. At that point, the new delivery window had already passed and my dress still had not arrived. The agent was not even aware that my order had not been delivered and could not tell me where my dress was. When I asked what methods were used to clean the dress or what attempts had been made to remove the stains, the agent had no information at all. It became clear that Press completely outsources everything. The dry cleaning, pickup, and delivery are all handled by local cleaners. Press is simply an app and a customer service layer, and even that is poorly managed since they have no visibility into the status, location, or care of your items. When my dress was finally delivered, it came with the bag and receipt from the local dry cleaner. That receipt showed a price that was roughly one quarter of what I paid Press. The local cleaner's receipt also included pickup and delivery, which made it very unclear what I was actually paying Press for. Press was unable to assist me at any point in the process. The dress arrived in the exact same condition it was picked up in. The stains were still there, with no improvement at all. I honestly believe no one attempted to clean it. Afterward, we used baby wipes at home and were able to remove the stains on the first attempt, which made this even more frustrating. Customer service was a poor experience as well. The agent was rude, frequently interrupted me, and was argumentative rather than helpful. I only received a refund after stating that I would dispute the charge. In short, you are paying about four times the price for a service that provides no added value. The cleaning, pickup, and delivery are all handled by another company, and Press offers no meaningful oversight, accountability, or support. I would absolutely not use this business again.

Quite possibly the worst customer service I have ever received…read more I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was so bad that people should know... I brought several garments to Press Cleaners in Austin specifically for dry cleaning. Instead, they were washed and folded, which is not what I requested and not appropriate for these items. As a result, three garments were ruined. When I raised the issue, I got a completely inconsistent and frustrating response: First, they said their policy was to re-dry clean everything. When they did reschedule to pick my clothing up, they were 3 hours behind schedule and I had to re-alert them of this. Then they called back and said they would wash and fold again except for 4 of the garments (which makes no sense given the problem). Then they accused me of having worn the garments--I had not worn any of them. After that, they claimed the items had been dry cleaned by another vendor--which is simply untrue, as they had clearly not been properly treated at all. At every step, the responsibility was deflected back onto me instead of being acknowledged. In the end, they refused to refund me and are returning my clothes still ruined and not dry cleaned nor fixed. This wasn't just a mistake, it was poor service compounded by misinformation and blame-shifting. Do not ever work with them if you value your clothing and basic customer service.

I dropped off my Italian silk designer wedding dress, worth $6,000, to ATX dry cleaning for my…read moremid-August wedding. I told the owner, Roi, that I was getting married in Canada and asked if they could pack my dress for travel. My dress came back bustled and ready to go. On a whim, I decided to undo the bustle and try on my dress one last time before flying out. When I opened my dress, I immediately started crying. It was ruined, and, even worse, somebody had tried to conceal the damage by bustling the dress and folding it up. The sleeves were burnt and crumpled (See pictures), and the dress itself was warped and puckered. The interior looked like it had been fried in bleach. My beautiful Italian silk dress had been ruined by ATX dry cleaning, and, rather than come clean with what had happened, somebody had tried to conceal the damage, so that I wouldn't realize what had happened to my dress until I got to my wedding. I told Roi that the dress looked like it had been damaged by chemicals, but he dismissed my concerns, saying dry cleaning is always done using chemicals. It was only after I went to two experts, my tailor and another dry cleaner, who both confirmed that the dress seemed ruined beyond repair, that he took me seriously. At this point, he admitted to outsourcing the dress, but said whomever he had outsourced it to did not even know who cleaned my dress because nobody had owned up to it. This other company (Roi never told me the name) spent the next couple of weeks attempting to restore my dress, and the entire time Roi kept saying that he felt as bad as I did that my wedding dress was ruined, and not to worry about the financials--he was going to make it right. They gave me my dress back the day before I left. The silk was partially restored, but the interior of my dress was still completely fried, and the dress's silhouette was permanently ruined. Since I had no other choice, I wore this dress for my wedding. When I returned, Roi changed his tune very quickly. He said that insurance would only cover $250 because I wore the dress for my wedding and they'd partially restored it. Worse still, he used things I'd said against me. Like, I told him nobody seemed to notice that the dress was ruined (because who would tell a bride that a dress they'd never seen before looked damaged?), and he later threw that comment in my face to suggest that I shouldn't be compensated properly for the damage. When I balked at his offer, he whined about how he couldn't do more financially and even badgered me for not appreciating how hard he'd worked to fix my dress. Again and again, he made it more about his hard work and his trouble than about my wedding dress and wedding, and he seemed incredulous that I expected to be compensated for what he'd done. I kept reminding him that any efforts to *fix* my dress would not have been necessary, had my dress not been ruined in the first place, but talking to Roi was like talking to a cranky infant. He made clear that he would not go out of pocket for the damage. It was such a nightmare. In the end, he gave me back not even a third of what I put into this dress, and he tried to get me to sign a document promising confidentiality. I refused, even knowing that I could lose the pittance he'd offered, because I never want any other bride to go through the nightmare Roi and his team put me through. Whatever you think you will save with ATX dry cleaning, it isn't worth it. Go to a real dry cleaner. If you want your clothing to be returned to you undamaged, avoid ATX dry cleaning like the plague.

Allandale, Brentwood

I was searching online for a fluff and fold laundry service for a short term rental…read moreproperty that I help my daughter manage, ideally one that did pick up and delivery. When I went on The Laundry Spot's website I saw that they offered this service so figured I'd give them a try. I had a few questions so I called the number listed on the home page of the website, and the woman who answered referred me to another number for the pick up and delivery service which turned out is also listed if you click on the "delivery" link. I got an answering service and left my contact info and within minutes, James the owner called back and answered my questions and walked me through the process of setting up an account so that I could do the online scheduling myself. There were 3 convenient windows of times to select from for both pick up and delivery so I scheduled pick up between 8am-11am on Tuesday and delivery during that same timeframe the next day. I got a text a minute or so prior to them arriving both times and they were both within the scheduled timeframes. Since the home was unoccupied those days, I was able to text them the temporary door code I set up remotely and allow them to pick up and drop off inside in the entry way. The laundry consisted of two full sets of bedding, several towels dish towels, etc. All came back perfectly clean and nicely folded. Online I was able to select the type of soap (or even provide my own if desired), optional softeners, and add any specific instructions such as cold water, gentle cycle etc. I am so thrilled to have found this service! Since I'm a big fan of USEFUL technology, I'm very happy that I can do all of the scheduling from my smart phone, including paying the invoice. I was initially apprehensive about providing my credit card info and wanted to be sure the info was encrypted and secure. The owner, James, patiently explained to me that he's partnered with a few different technology platforms in order to make it possible to do all of this online, so it's all very secure and tested. One thing to note: because of the way the various platforms are linked, you see different URLs when you schedule versus looking at your account versus payment, but after it's set up it's a piece of cake. And best of all, the laundry comes back beautifully clean and nicely folded without me having to do a thing (I have back problems) so this is a wonderful solution for me. And the pricing is incredibly reasonable. I highly recommend trying this laundry service and supporting a great local Austin business!
