I called Starcrest Cleaners on Conestoga Drive in Springfield,IL on 10/12/24 @ 8 am inquiring about getting a suit pressed for Homecoming using their same day service. I called and spoke with Terry S who assured me if I had the suit to them before 9am it would be ready same day by 5pm. I rushed to drop the suit off and had it in their hands by 8:30am. Received my ticket that said same day service, in 10/12 and out 10/12 by 5 pm.
As the day went on it got to be around 3:30 pm and I had not heard anything from them so I decided to reach out. Once I pulled the number up on Google the hours listed stated they were closing at 4pm?? How is that when my ticket in hand states I can pick it up by 5pm. I call the store and the women who initially checked me in answered the phone (I don't recall her name). When I proceed to ask the status of the suit being pressed she put me on hold for 10 minutes. I arrived to the store at 3:45pm, still on hold inquiring about the suit. I was told they didn't do same day pressing at that location. Excuse me! When I called and spoke with Terry S prior to dropping the suit off AND when I actually dropped the suit off I was reassured it could be done. I was told the lady that checked me in was new and she didn't understand the process. If that were true Terry S didn't understand the process either because she told me it could be done via phone. I asked if once it was figured out that it could not be done there same day why no one reached out to me so I could make alternate arrangements. Dead silence. No answers just a bunch of apologies.
In the end the suit was no longer at that location and was taken to the West White Oaks location. I call that location and the guy tells me it can be done Monday. Absolutely not! The event is today in a few hours. Long story short the suit never got pressed. I had to pick it up and do it myself last minute.
Terrible management, poor communication. I would not visit this location again for anything! read more
