    The photos speak for themselves -- the blouse on the right is the sample I provided, while the one on the left is what was delivered to me. Despite the clear discrepancy, they refused to issue a refund and insisted on providing only store credit. I reluctantly used the credit to purchase another fabric, which now serves as nothing more than practice material at the expense of my time and money as a customer.

    I needed my dress altered last minute, and she kindly took it on and had it ready in less than 24 hours.

This was off just having a terrible experience with some shirts getting butchered by the local dry cleaner, so I wanted a more professional take. I walked in completely clueless on a whim, tactlessly not making an appointment, and even though it was Juan's lunchbreak he still immediately took the time to see me and work with me. That said... let the man eat. Don't interrupt his break! I still feel bad about it!!! About the tailoring: Juan is just That Dude. He WILL make you look better and point out ways to make the clothes better compliment your body that others don't even know about. The pricing felt extremely fair and not at all like I was being overcharged for the amount and quality of work being done. Not only that, Juan did me a solid by getting the alterations done in-time with a big move out of state. Last minute, off of a random walk-in, and brother still treated me like I was a long time regular. And matter of fact, even though I'm going to be living down south I WILL still be getting my nicest clothing tailored by Juan. That's what his work is worth to me. 10/10 will be making sure I get my nephews' first suits tailored by him too

Head tailor Juan Cuello is exceptionally skilled and relentlessly professional--he simply won't stop until the fit is perfect. Over the past six years, I've brought him around a dozen off-the-rack suits, and he has consistently transformed them to look and feel like high-end made-to-measure pieces. The difference in drape, balance, and overall silhouette is remarkable. I've used other tailors for alterations, but none come close to Juan's level of precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. He takes real pride in his work, and it shows in every finished garment. Juan is truly one of a kind.

    I am new to NYC and having my laundry sent out, but based on the one experience I've had I would…read moredefinitely recommend Morris Cleaners. Their services could be better communicated online/via their employees, and pickup ran a bit late for me. Given that the owner was very responsive and tried to accommodate me during drop off this doesn't bother me though. My experience with them was solid, and I intend to go back! Some caveats to take note of if you've never used their services before: you can schedule pickup and drop off online, but there's no guarantee you will get serviced. Whether or not you do really seems to depend on proximity. Same day pickup/drop off doesn't actually seem to be something they provide despite what their site (and employees) might say. I had asked the owner when my laundry would come back if it got picked up in the morning, and was told that it would still come back in 24 hours. I called in yesterday evening to get some clarification on their services and found myself talking to the owner. He was clear with me that they only recently started taking wash and fold orders again, and were trying to limit the orders they take to manage how backed up they can get. Luckily I live close enough to get serviced, and we arranged for pick up that same evening. He told me to expect someone to come by within 1-2 hours, and someone dropped by around 2.5 hours later. They came up to my unit and took my bagged up clothing. About 24 hours later everything came back clean and folded! The drop off was more timely than the pickup. The owner was very communicative during both the pick up and drop off, and he accommodated me by giving me a call when the driver was nearby (I had explained that I needed to step out but would be close by and getting a call would help). I was able to pay by card by giving the owner my card info over the phone. The detergent they use is heavily scented. While I do appreciate a fresh scent, it is a bit intense. The smell of the detergent has been wafting through my apartment ever since it was dropped off. Although I would not say I have sensitive skin, with how strong the scent is I will be keeping an eye on my skin to see if it's irritated. I assume this is not something Morris Cleaners actually has control over, since they are ultimately sending the laundry out as well (as explained to me by the owner). I was impressed by how neatly folded and tightly bagged everything was. My bags were also individually pinned with papers to show the weight/price per bag. I had taken count of how many items I sent out and I'm happy to report nothing was missing. My biggest concern was items getting lost in the shuffle, since this seems to be a common thing that can go wrong among businesses that provide wash and fold services.

Morris showed consistently superior reviews and high marks for good value. I had one big question about special care for my go-to Lululemon dress shirts and the manager here answered my question; my shirts have come in pristine, pro-clean condition each and every time. I walk 20+ extra blocks and in winter take the bus past many cleaners with "good" ratings just to get the high value, consistent, high-result level of service I get at Morris Cleaners on 86th.

    First off, I need to say that the guy that runs this place is a really nice guy. He was very…read morecommunicative & very amiable. That being said....his fees are unjustifiable. I've lost a significant amount of weight over the past 3 months & needed to have 3 2-piece suits taken in. He had me try on all 3 & was really thorough with the measurements (so I thought anyway). His initial estimate was $780.00, $740.00 if I paid cash. In my mind at the time I thought this was still pretty good considering 3 new 2-piece suits of the same brand would cost me around $1500. $1200.00 if they were on sale. He asked when I wanted them back. I left that up to him because I wanted him to not be rushed so he can do a thoroughy good job on them. He gave me a pick-up of about a week & a half. This is fine for me. I came to pick them up & I gave him my CC to swipe & charge. I somehow don't need to provide a pin or sign anything & he gives me a copy of the CC transaction receipt wrapped around my card & I didn't think anything of it. When I got home & dug into my wallet to unwrap the receipt from my card so I could put back my card where I always place it I see he charged me $813.00. This put things into a whole new perspective for me. Where did this extra $33.00 come from? Tailors in NYC don't charge sales tax. Then I actually did the math. That's an average of $271.00 a suit. Mind you he's not adding fabric to make it larger. If anything he's decreasing the amount to make it a smaller fit. This & also allowing a week & half's time. This wasn't like a 72 hour time limit. This was a full 10 days. Baffling. I'm now finding little attention to details he missed. One pairs of pants the waist is way tighter than the other two. Almost to the point of not fitting me. One of the jackets is clearly not taken in enough, dare I say, if at all. Another pair of pants a belt loop is half attached so it's just flip flopping around. I just wanted these suits to be taken in because I was tired of looking like MC Hammer at work & I wasn't really thinking how much it could cost. Now that I'm seeing things more clearly & with some of the imperfections I'm finding, I just think $271 for alterations on a 2-piece suit in 10 days time is exorbitantly high when I can just buy a brand new one at Macy's for $400 - $500. I get he's on the UES & he needs to make rent on his space, but....really?
