I recently moved to NH to finish my degree at SCSU. After completing a web search I found that Top Kat was conveniently open 24 hours and Renee (the employee on duty at the time) was very pleasant. I called prior to dropping off my laundry to ask questions and then proceeded to sort my clothing, separate them, gather my laundry detergent/softener, and make my way to the laundromat. Although Renee reassured me that she takes pride in reading each label and handle their customer's clothing with care, I would soon find out I was deceived. Upon return of my items my comforter was torn, all of my clothing including towels had pink spots on them, and the zipper found broken on a pair of brand new jeans. The day after I picked them up, I reached out to Renee to formally complain, but she insisted on arguing with me about the issue. I asked her for her supervisors number (after another argument) she gave me the owners number. Since November 19th (now December 30 th) I have left numerous messages with the owner who has refused to return one single phone call. The owner insists on using Renee as the "mediator", but it's clear as day that Renee is confused and as annoyed as I am with the issue. On December 18th (a month later) Renee asked me to bring my clothing back for review. Weeks later, no response to my calls or voice mails....Today (Dec. 30th) I left a message with the owner stating I'd have to take this into legal matters if the issue isn't rectified. To my surprise, I received yet another phone call from Renee stating I should go and pick up my clothing (although nothing has been done) because, according to her "I decided to make this a legal matter". Smh! Unfortunately, this wasn't a legal matter and I clearly stated I wanted a resolve before I'd have to make it one. I am filled with the utmost disappointment to have dealt with such a terribly ran business and business owner, feeling neglected and ignored, and basically "shit out of luck". I would have appreciated a returned phone call from the owners and the matter being handled instead of swept under the rug and ignored. If you're reading this in hopes of finding a superb drop off/pick up laundromat, I would advise going to Super Wash Laundry at 606 Main St in East Haven (203-466-7100). I must say of all the places I've been to they did a phenomenal job at reading the labels, caring for my garments, folding, separating and organizing my laundry in less than 24 hours. Not to mention the staff was amazing.
All I requested from Top Kat is to have this issue rectified. They have terrible customer service and terrible business ethic. It's really sad. read more
