Poor service at Washington Blvd Baltimore. 2nd time

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Poor service. Shirts wrinkled. Said I had to wait for a mgr. Other time I got a phone call earlier in morning saying that I was giving another customer clothes. I get down to show that I didnt have extra items and the associate told me that I didnt have to come back. But she claims that I was on camera with clothes. Dont know it Im being targeted because of previous accusations.After I receive my shirt I will not return to this Zip cleaners. Will go to Route 40 west. Thanks

Poor Customer service at Dumfries store

When I picked up my uniform at the Zips Dumfries location, the cashier, says her name is Emily, was very rude and disrespectful after I noticed the hem in the pants seam had fallen out.

She was rude and did not want to help me. When I asked for my receipt she tried to give me a receipt from the trash can.

She and her coworkers also said something in another language besides English.

Repair needs to be done for not only my pants seam, but also Emily's rude behavior.

The manager, Julia, didn't apologize for Emily's rude behavior. She suggested I come back and drop off the pants to wait several days for them to be fixed.

Why would I ever come back to this Zips location let alone trust them to fix the hem?

Is there anyone who will take accountability for this?

Respectfully,

Larry Dickerson

Website misleading

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Zip had a sell on comforter, because it was King comforter, I was unable to bring only one at a time. When I went back, I was to old that code was not valid, I showed him the date and the manager told me it was only good for one time. I told her that was not stated on the website. Next time state that it was good only for one time.

Missing Item and Unresponsive Store Manager

Original review Aug 13, 2023

Hello,

I have followed up multiple times via email and phone with the store manager Angie Garrido, but have not heard back. I am following up once again regarding the complaint made on Monday, August 7th 2023.

I dropped off my fiance's men's white long sleeved dress shirt on Friday, August 4th along with several other items.

I came back to pick it up on Monday, August 7th. Most of our items were correct, except for the white long sleeved dress shirt was missing, and replaced with someone else's men's button down white shirt with palm trees on it. I let the cashier and the store manager Angie Garrido know that this was not our shirt. We tried locating my fiance's shirt but were not successful.

Angie told me since the store was closing soon that she would take my information and email me the complaint form, and snce it takes approximately 30 days to get a refund, she assured me we would use Monday's date.

As of yet, I have not heard back from anyone. I called the store today and left Angie a message, but was told she is gone for the day.

Please let us know next steps and us the form immediately if it needs to be completed in order to initiate a refund.

Badly damaged

Garment was taken to the Zips in Bensalem, PA for dry cleaning, and picked up with holes in the sleeve of my blouse. I called to tell them what I found, the attendant said the manager Guy said drop it off. Spoke to Guy the next morning, he said my blouse was already worn out, and he would send the blouse to a MD facility for further investigation and he's not paying for any damages. He was already getting loud and disrespectful, saying he's not reimbursing me for damages and that I put those holes in my blouse. The manager was very rude!

Poor service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I dropped clothes off at the laurel store on Baltimore Ave at 8:30 Saturday morning. November 20, 2021.

I received no notification they were done. I need them for my trip to Jacksonville, FL Monday morning November 22. I was at the store at 7 AM Monday morning and was told they were not ready. I replied your policy is in by 9 out by 5.

I asked if in can have the name and number of your manager. In a strong not pleasant tone, she said NO. I said I will file a complaint and left the store.

A customer who had just walked in with an arm full of clothes immediately turned it left the store.

I tried calling age store today, from Jacksonville at 3:00 and no one answered. I tried calling right back and still got no answer.

Last week I had to pickup up some of my wife's clothes that were lost in October.

As of this email I still havecnot received an email about my clothes I dropped off Saturday.

Can someone please respond back.

HORRIBLE PLACE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
This place should be shut down. They ruin your clothes and refuse to replace or compensate you for their mistake. I took an Ellen Tracy 100% silk pleated skirt in to them. When I picked it up, instead of pinning it up to the hanger, the folded it over a wire hanger, ruining the pleats. I took it back for a redo and the pleats were then steamed out! The skirt is completely ruined. The manager offered a refund on the $2.49 I paid. REALLY!! When I asked for a refund on my ruined skirt, she said they didnt do refunds. So Im out $100+ dollars?!!? Stay away from this business! Consider yourself warned!
