My washer has been down for about a year now, but honestly, being able to wash what would be 4 loads at home in 25 minutes, means that I don't have to spend the day hanging out at home. It's more cost efficient to do it there, putting 2 loads in 2 double machines then bringing it home to dry. And with a grocery store and coffee shop next door (and a pub) I can get the wash in, run to the grocery store to pick up a few items, back to the wash, load it into my car and home in under 45 minutes. They also offer laundry service if you are in a hurry or just hate doing laundry.

My parents went to John's Barn & Bedroom in Nanaimo because they were told by the owner that he…read morecould help them find a firm, supportive mattress that would relieve their chronic back pain. They trusted his advice and purchased a mattress for over $6,000, believing his assurances that he would make sure they were "100% satisfied" and that if there were any issues, he would make it right. Within just a couple of weeks, they realized the mattress was far too soft and uncomfortable. They went back to speak with John multiple times, but instead of offering any meaningful solution, he told them to "keep sleeping on it" and that their bodies would adjust. Months later, their back pain has only gotten worse. Now, he is refusing to stand by his word and has told them it's a "final sale." This entire experience has left my parents feeling misled, disappointed, and taken advantage of, especially after choosing to support a small local business instead of purchasing from a reputable Canadian company that offers a 365-night trial and full money-back guarantee. As someone who has personally tried the mattress during a weekend stay, I can confirm that it is extremely uncomfortable and causes back pain almost immediately. It's unacceptable for a business owner to promise satisfaction, take thousands of dollars from seniors on a fixed income, and then walk away from his word when the product clearly fails to deliver. We hoped John would make this right, but since he has not, I feel it's important to warn others: think twice before purchasing from this store. If you want honesty, comfort, and accountability, look elsewhere.

You bought it out to us but we could have took the clean cloths from the dryer and put it into our own clean bags. We didn't have a lot of cloths to wash but we were also not sure if your hands were clean. We specifically said to let us know when the cloths are done and we will take it out of the dryer ourself. On top, you were very rude and you did yell at us when you were the one who told us to come back at the specific time that you said our laundry were going to be done. We rushed back on time because we didn't want you to touch the clean cloths out of the dryer. We wanted to take it out ourself. Also you were the one who told us that if we show up late, you are not going to wait and will lock up right on the dot at closing time. We ended up bringing the cloths back home and washing them again. You may think your hands are the cleanest but we don't like other people touching our clean cloths and you didn't listen to our instructions which we repeated to you when you told us to stand outside. I have to say your listening skill is very questionable along with your reading skill. Please read what I wrote before responding. $5 is for wash, laundry detergent and softener (excluding drying). Also, we did ask you about dry cleaning service. I do know a lot of laundry mat outsource this service. You were the one who told us it would be $20 a shirt which we thought to be a bit overpriced.
