This is the most terrible experience I ever had in my life. I have been a "loyal"customer of Serrano's cleaners for over two years. Recently my wife sent our outfits to this store for dry cleaning and hang them in our closet as usual after picking them up.
When I unpacked the plastic covers, I could barely believe that all of outfits,About a dozen clothes, looked obviously old and worn. The colors were fading as well. They are all destroyed!
My wife and I pay a lot of attention to keep our clothes nice and clean just like new. We send all of our clothes except underwear to the store for dry cleaning. We are glad to see our clothes are still looked like brand new after that.
It is not acceptable when all the clothes were washed worn and old. It is more confused that there are strange stains on my clothes. It seems like my clothes were spilled with some chemical liquid. I am not sure if it was caused by bleach or anything like that, but I am pretty sure that those outfits can not be worn any longer. It is ridiculous for us to wear a outfit with chemical stains like that. One of the outfits is my wife's coat, she only worn that once since she brought it, yes, literally, only once!
The very first day after I found the problem, I took three of the most obvious and serious ones to the store. My original intention was to let them know and to ask them how to make up or fix the issue. Since they are technically more professional, I looked forward to get a solution from them to make up my losses. When I walked into the store, there were a old Korean couple there. I described the situation and they took a look at the outfits. They told me that they will get in touch with me after one week since all the employees are not there at that moment. I accepted and left my clothes there in the store.
After one week, my cousin and I stopped by and walked in to figure out if they have found a solution to solve this problem. I was so shocked that they denied all the mistakes they made!!! They insist that all my clothes was previously worn and old before I sent them to the cleaner!! They said they had done nothing wrong, and all of the chemical stains were originally there. How ridiculous!!!
He even asked how long since I brought the outfits, which was intended to mean my clothes were old. There one behavior that is ruder. I still couldn't believe it literally happened. The man said that these clothes must be made in China, if not, they can't be ruined and destroyed. I was so mad when I heard what he said. He knew I am Chinese, because I have been their customer for over two years, they asked me if I was Korean in the past. I told them before I was not Korean, I am United States citizen but I was born in China. They knew I am Chinese and he said that on purpose to mock me and to escape the responsibility.
I was so upset and was about to leave, the women employee wanted us to talk to someone on the phone. She, the lady on the phone, should be their translator. She apologized to us, and that is the very first apology since everything happened. It was not about the compensation at they moment, it was about their terrible attitude. They are rude and dishonest. They don't even say a sorry to us. All they were trying to do is to escape form the responsibility. I want to appreciate for the lady who apologized to us.
I have left my assistant's phone number to them since I don't have to communicate with them any more. The lady on the phone said they will provide a solution and call my assistant. I believe they were making the whole process more complicated. I have the record of all of our conversation. I have the invoice as well. I will process to a legal matter and let my attorney get involved if they still don't provide a solution. read more
