    Glad I found this place. Not only is it convenient to my house, but the tailor charges very reasonable prices and does a great job.

    I dropped off a few items last week. During that process, I was not given a cost…read moreestimate/receipt/breakdown of the cost. The woman who was working told me a receipt would be sent via text message shortly, so I left. Later that day, I realized I had never received a text. I checked my credit card statement and saw I had a pending charge from Rick's for $183.96. I immediately went to their website to see if they listed their prices (they do). I dropped off two clothing items (2 x 5.99) and four pillow covers (4 x 8.39) for a grand total of $45.54 + tax. I then called the store since this is obviously a huge discrepancy. Someone answered the phone and said I had reach a different store because the store I was trying to call did not have a working telephone. She told me I would have to go into the store and speak to someone. So I drive over to the store and speak to whoever is working (different employee that I had seen earlier that day). I began to explain what was going on and she immediately became defensive. She told me that the manager was gone and she couldn't help me. At this point I am pretty frustrated because this is becoming much more difficult than I needed to be. I told her to give me all of my items back and to cancel the transaction. She gave me the pillow covers back but then said she didn't know where the clothing items were and wasn't going to go looking for them. I said that was unacceptable. Then she calls someone with her personal cell. The woman she was speaking to (I believe her name was Anna(?) and I am assuming she is a manager and is the person I had interacted with earlier that day) was also very defensive from the start. After some back and forth, she handed me the cell phone to talk to her myself. She told me that she entered the pillow covers as couch cushions which are significantly more expensive. I find it hard to believe that she would have mistaken some standard sized pillow covers (20x20") for couch cushions - that's a huge difference in size. She was incredibly rude and defensive on the phone and completely unapologetic. I mentioned how I did not receive a text receipt to which she basically accused me of lying because she insisted that she sent it. I told her I never received it - so either she didn't send it or there was some sort of technical glitch. She also had the audacity to tell me that I "should've come back to the store before 3:15pm" - when she was leaving for the day. As if I am supposed to know her work schedule??? In this situation I would have expected her to apologize for the mistake and inconvenience and fix the issue. Instead she stated: "I'll change the price to the pillow covers, but you're going to pay an extra $8.00 each for pet hair". Really? These are *slubby* linen pillow covers - barely any pet hair. At this point I was really upset and told her to give me everything back. She told me that they won't be giving me the clothing items back since it was too much work to look for them. I made it clear that I wanted them to return the two clothing items and refund the whole order. I told her that if she wasn't going to return the clothing items that she still needed to refund the order since I was requesting them to give them back but she was too lazy to locate them. After more back and forth between the employee that was there and the one on the phone (Anna?), they finally agreed to refund the order and still send off the clothing items for cleaning. I cannot believe how rude the manager was through this whole process. I am not upset about the pricing - nor would I have been upset about a small/reasonable uncharge for the slubby fabric, but the attitude of the manager was unacceptable. It honestly seems like she was trying to up charge me in hopes that I wouldn't notice. I wonder how many times this happens? Pretty seedy behavior from "The Best of Austin."

    A special suit jacket that belongs to my husband sustained some water stains while traveling. I…read morebrought it to a local cleaners in Austin & they were able to remove some of the stain. They also said it's probably ruined and that they could keep trying, but would likely not get it all & could further damage it with stain removal products. It was disheartening, as this is the jacket he wore when we got married. So it's extra special & I didn't want to give up. My daughter researched local Austin cleaners who specialize in stain removal. She discovered EcoClean. They reassured me that they would get the stain out without causing further damage and sure enough, they did! They are specialists! I'm so appreciative. Not to mention the cost was comparable to other cleaners. So there's another reason to return to them from now on!

    PSA BRIDES: I strongly recommend against taking your wedding dress here for cleaning…read more I dropped off my wedding dress in September 2025 and paid $350 for cleaning. I was told it would be ready for pickup in November. After following up in December, I was told they needed a few additional weeks due to extra cleaning required. As mid-January 2026 approached, I reached out again for an update and contacted them 4 separate times with no response. I eventually went to the store in person, where they told me it would be "a few more weeks." In February 2026, I finally picked up my dress -- and it had the exact same stains as when I dropped it off, plus new rust stains that were not there before. I immediately pointed this out. The cashier told me, "it's because you only paid for cleaning." I responded that the dress clearly wasn't clean and I didn't understand how it could look worse after being in their possession for nearly five months. I was then brushed off so they could help the next customer, denied a refund, and not allowed to speak with a supervisor. Terrible experience. Please learn from my mistake and avoid this business. Based on other reviews, I'm clearly not the only one who has had issues with their poor service and communication.

    I would not recommend Press Cleaners and feel strongly that their business model is misleading…read more Summary: Press Cleaners charges a premium for a service they do not actually provide, offers poor customer support, and returned my wedding dress completely uncleaned after missed deliveries and multiple communication failures. I scheduled dry cleaning for my wedding dress and clearly indicated that it was a wedding dress, included care instructions, and noted specific areas with stains that needed attention. From the start, communication was a problem. I attempted to contact customer service to update pickup instructions and received no response. I reached out again with questions about delivery timing once the cleaning was complete, and again received no response. My delivery was delayed by a full day, and the original delivery time window I selected was not honored for the new day. Since no one would be home during the updated window, I contacted customer service yet again and still received no reply. Eventually, a customer service agent called me to say they were unable to remove the stains and would issue a partial store credit. During that call, I asked about the updated delivery time and was told they did not know. At that point, the new delivery window had already passed and my dress still had not arrived. The agent was not even aware that my order had not been delivered and could not tell me where my dress was. When I asked what methods were used to clean the dress or what attempts had been made to remove the stains, the agent had no information at all. It became clear that Press completely outsources everything. The dry cleaning, pickup, and delivery are all handled by local cleaners. Press is simply an app and a customer service layer, and even that is poorly managed since they have no visibility into the status, location, or care of your items. When my dress was finally delivered, it came with the bag and receipt from the local dry cleaner. That receipt showed a price that was roughly one quarter of what I paid Press. The local cleaner's receipt also included pickup and delivery, which made it very unclear what I was actually paying Press for. Press was unable to assist me at any point in the process. The dress arrived in the exact same condition it was picked up in. The stains were still there, with no improvement at all. I honestly believe no one attempted to clean it. Afterward, we used baby wipes at home and were able to remove the stains on the first attempt, which made this even more frustrating. Customer service was a poor experience as well. The agent was rude, frequently interrupted me, and was argumentative rather than helpful. I only received a refund after stating that I would dispute the charge. In short, you are paying about four times the price for a service that provides no added value. The cleaning, pickup, and delivery are all handled by another company, and Press offers no meaningful oversight, accountability, or support. I would absolutely not use this business again.
