    There is a gentleman by the name of Wallie @ the corner cobbler that went way beyond for a potential customer. Knowing that he knew the Samsonite suitcase was not under warranty, he sent the parts for the repairs to me at no cost as a complimentary jester. If anyone has to have a suitcase repaired I give the company in Kingston, IL a 5 (*****) star rating.

My wife is fussy about her cleaning and alterations, as am I, regarding my shirts, but V.I.P is a business we could trust over the past 10+ years. Unfortunately, we are moving out of the area and will miss V.I.P.

    The customer service here is rather disappointing. I had one pair or pants altered here over a year…read moreago and thought I had found "my place" after moving into the area. However, the last two times I have gone have been a nightmare. Before even seeing the garment I was told that it was take over a week to hem a jumpsuit. This was an outfit I needed sooner than that so I just returned it instead. I recently went in to have a dress altered and before even showing the gentleman the dress, I was told it would be at least two weeks before they could get it done. While that would've been fine because I didn't need the dress right away, the tone and disinterest in my service was already frustrating. I continued to show my dress and explain what I wanted done. Shorten the straps, take in the waist, and hem the length. While I know that is a good amount of work, the dress is not lined and has spaghetti straps, so definitely not the most complicated garment they have had to alter. I was quoted $85 for a dress that I spent $40 on! Absolutely not! Not only was the man rude, but that price seemed a little high. I took my dress to a cleaner In Sycamore instead where the woman was an absolute delight. She had me try the dress on, pinned it until it was perfect, gave me a couple small discounts and then quoted me. For all of the work listed above, I paid $40 and the dress was done in a week, probably could have been sooner if I needed it. When I picked it up the dress looked great, exactly how I hoped it would and they even pressed it for me. V.I.P cleaners made it clear that they did not value my business, they must be far too busy with more important things. I will not be back as I will be visiting my new "place" in Sycamore from now on.

    My wife's shoe needed to be re-soled. She had two pairs of shoes, and the gentleman that owns the…read moreplace was nice and extremely honest. Just One thing is: he does not take debit or credit cards... just an FYI. So make sure you bring cash & bring a couple 20s with you before you enter. I think he also takes checks too. .. just a healthy warning unless if you bank at WinTrust. There is one bank a couple doors down that you can pull money from at the ATM beforehand.. you have to pay first before any work is done. We had to end up doing that. But no problem- we bank at WinTrust so we're okay... The owner said he can do it and give him a couple days to complete. Came back after about a week later and the soles of the shoes were done. It was a very good quality replacement, and his workmanship was pretty much straightforward. There was no blemishes or anything to our nature so: Overall, my wife was very happy with the the work involved. The quality of the replacement was better than the OEM on the shoe in my opinion. He was a little bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for. We'd go back for shoe repairs.. One star is just deducted because of the convenience of the cash issue in which we have no problem with. We do understand the theory behind it. It could've been that he was burned way too many times. So again we get it. However, from a customer standpoint inconvenience, it is a slight inconvenience for those who are not near a bank or don't carry cash around. But again: we get it and the service as well as the quality/workmanship is there, but the ability to work with credit or debit would put you at you at five stars. We would definitely come back again though, he did a really good job on the shoes. Thanks for the work!
