I was not made to feel really welcome when I asked about the fabric or other sewing machine supplies. They did a great job repairing my Singer machine, I know it isn't one of the expensive models but it works great for me. But if I was a sales person I'd be engaging walk in customers with questions about their sewing projects and trying to sell them something else or offer a class that's coming up. Maybe they don't need the business?

I'd shopped at the Carpentersville location a few times and was 'helped' but never serviced…read more Engagement limited to what could only be described as transactional. No interest in my projects or the products they could provide. No interest in me. They even serviced my machine.- but when I inquired about the screw that was lost either in my sewing room or in my actual sewing machine, they couldn't tell me if it was or wasn't found. I recently decided to drop in and pick up some thread for a project I was excited about. After describing the project that potentially could use up to 50 different colors, it was met with a very less than enthusiastic 'oh'. I was directed to an amazing 50 cent a spool thread sale. I naturally started digging for every color possible. The manager started taking out threads that I 'didn't need.' I have 2 sewing embroidery combo machines, a serger and a 12 foot quilting system that resides in what used to be my living room. I assure you, I need thread. But some were for hand quilting. Now, I'll never understand hand quilting...but I do know that I've got two hands should I ever find the use for a 50 cent spool of thread. In our mostly one sided conversation, are grunts and mumbles even considered conversation? I mentioned that I had sent an email about my machine and I didn't receive a reply. Emails checked...oh...that's the other store. Does that store not answer emails? (They do not). I emailed 9/24. This visit was on 10/2. Email forwarded to the 'right' email that still hasn't received a response. Essentially being a bored house-husband that loves to sew, I set all that aside and ventured out to the Woodstock location. What sewist/embroiderer/quilter/serger bored with lots of money man wouldn't drive several towns over for the chance of getting a 50 cent spool of thread? Even if it's for hand quilting? I walk in- explain that I had been at the other store, explain why I was there, and with wonder in my eyes I stared into the blank gaze of a woman saying 'nope, no 50 cent spools of thread here.' The next 20 minutes we spent...oh..we is me and Mr Money Bags...we pull out bolts...look at patterns, compare colors....then we leave. Customers leave. That's what they do. I'm the type of customer that will tell you why I'm your customer...and why I'm not. So, I did some research. Found owner emails on the Better Business Bureau. Found it odd that the emails listed several versions of a Sewing Concepts domains - but their current 'receive only no reply' emails are sbcglobal Hmmm. Not one to back down, I'm armed with a name. So I email...again...inquiring about Lynda and or Doug Remmers. Surely they'd like to know what's going on within their walls. Would it shock any one to know that the blank gaze that I'd looked into was on the face of Lynda? I'm not sure why I left every encounter with this company feeling 'unliked'. Could be that I'm a man. Could be that I'm a gay man. Could be that I simply have a minimum expectation of consumer engagement and who I am and who I am not willing to give my money to- 50 cents spools be damned. You've been in business for a while, my thousands and thousands of dollars spent on my little hobby may not even matter to you. It clearly matters to me. And probably to customers that enjoy respect, follow through, honesty. Oh...and you'd have seen more of my money, but when I watched you order the ruler that I needed from your Amazon account...it just showed me that I can cut out the middle man. One last thing...50 cent spools sales has to be one of the stupidest decisions ....ever. Quilters buy half completed quilt tops, scraps that should be used for dog beds, and everything in between. We'd pay ...75 cents ...at least. Now, imagine if it was applied to my $50-50 cent thread spools. Maybe with the profits you could get the type of emails that have a REPLY button

It was obvious no one double-checked the order or cared about getting it right. It was super frustrating since this was supposed to be an easy process. When we brought it up, the staff brushed it off instead of trying to fix it they blame us for not checking the suit. The suit was never even used and they still refused a refund. The staff was dismissive and took no responsibility. For what they charge, this level of service is unacceptable. I'll never rent from here again and wouldn't recommend them to anyone looking for reliable service or a smooth tux rental experience. No Susanne you only know what your staff told you. You weren't there. He was asked to come back for another suit the day of the wedding which it was impossible he wasn't going to miss his daughter's wedding. It should of been perfect since it was picked up. We do not live around the corner. Your staff took wrong measurements of him and didn't want to admit they didn't do their job correctly. Kept trying to blame the costumer which means you might need to hire new experience and professional staff. There's no way my dad would of fit into an XL pants size when he's a 32x32.

I paid $100 for this service as my husband and I are in our late 60's and have some mobility issues. When Ed's truck arrived, I was informed that the $100 was only for the delivery. If I wanted the items set up, it would be an extra $100. I was furious and this was a total misrepresentation from I had was told and believed I had already paid for. To make it worse, they refused to even put the items in our back yard and informed me they were a driveway service only. Their delivery and set up costs would have cost more than double the rental price. Just beware as I now feel cheated and will never use them again nor recommend them to anyone else.

The booking process was extremely simple compared to other rental places I've used in the past (i.e. U-Haul). My info was already in the system when I arrived, so they just had to process my CC. I pulled out back and the trailer was waiting for me. It was clean and ready to go. The crew put the trailer on my hitch, checked the lights, and I was on my way. The return process was just as smooth and simple. I pulled out back, a crew member was there, undid the hitch, asked if I needed a receipt and I was on my way. I've probably told a half dozen people so far how great the whole experience was from start to finish. If the need arises again, I will definitely be calling Ed's for all my equipment rental needs.
