It's a little ridiculous to even address that with your customers. My schedule is none of his business. Dry cleaning is not a life or death situation & he needs to relax. Instead of giving him my business again I went elsewhere where my schedule is not an issue. If you want someone to be rude to you instead of appreciative of your business then by all means but who really needs the hassle.

The staff is friendly, the place looks clean (unlike the aforementioned location on Bay Ridge Avenue) on my previous visit, I wasn't pLeAsed with the quote that gave me to dry clean my Canada Goose jacket. I ultimately decided to bring it in-- I wanted it back a certain day because it was going to be very cold. I arrived on the date promised, but my coat hadn't arrived. When I finally did get it back, the job done was sub-par. The coat didn't looked dry cleaned at all; the sleeve looked the same way I brought it in. I was charged $35 for a bad job. I dropped off a monTh worth of dry cleaning today and again, the prices are absurd. Some shirts I dry clean, others I dry clean, both prices were too high. Along with the amount they charge to dry clean suits. Hopefully they do a better job with these clothes than what they did with my coat.

I lugged my crazy overloaded (and over-sized) laundry bag here because there was no way I was going to have time to do it any time this week! A bit nervous after hearing horror stories, I turned to Yelp to find a good place. Sadly, very few in my area had reviews but this one had a good tip that made me try it out. I walked in and was greeted by the lady, possibly the owner, in the back. She asked when I wanted to pick it up, I was dropping it off on a Wednesday around 6pm and she asked me if I wanted to pick it up same-night... Is that possible? Amazing. I told her I wouldn't be able to pick it up until the next day, she said okay and handed me my slip with a quote of 21.50 incl tax - remember, this is a STUFFED over-sized laundry bag. WOW! That's literally cheaper than what I pay when I do it myself. I picked it up today, it was ready as promised. Everything is neatly folded, smells clean and in pristine order! I think I found my new laundry method! The only down-side is I am sure they use off-brand soap, and do not use fabric sheets, and I just cant get over how my clothes smell after a fresh wash with Tide and Downy. :/

DO NOT go here for alterations, just don't. Save yourself the stress. The service is dismal and…read morethey do not take responsibility for bad work. If I could give ZERO stars I would. The woman in front is plain rude, combative and argumentative. If she speaks three languages it's just more opportunities for her to argue with people. My friend and I brought in two gowns for a wedding two weeks before the event and ended up having to get new gowns, even though they only needed hems. She didn't measure properly but also argued where the hem should be "because of our age"... I was very honest that I wasn't asking for fashion advice, just a hem. Formal floor length gown should be "floor length" but she cropped it and it looked like I borrowed someone's dress who was shorter than me. My friend's gown was cut so badly, you would think a blind person made the cut. The back of the dress was above her ankle and the front touched the floor, completely ruined. Just the sloppiest job ever. We came to ask for our money back, which of course was a waste of time. She gave me ten excuses and didn't even acknowledge ruining the gowns.... Just more arguing. It seems she knows how to run her mouth but not measure, apologize or even admit when she's wrong. She said the older woman who does alternations "felt bad" (which would confirm she knows she did a bad job) but claims she saved the leftover material to show us the cuts she made, but it was clear they were done wrong! We spent $200 and $160 on the gowns, $65 on alterations, and $230 and $180 on two new gowns. And more money on alterations at a real seamstress. Nonetheless, the lesson of never coming back to this dump is priceless! Do not waste your time, money or energy. The floor and walls are also very dirty

I had first heard that taking in clothes was a thing from a dapperly dressed Ben Sherman sales…read moreassociate, but never thought about it again until I realised I wanted a more tapered cut to my slim pants. I know the slacks I had for work looked good, but it would just make it look that much better with a slimmer silhouette. I asked around on social media and was directed to multiple place in Manhattan, an inevitability I feared as a Brooklynite. I researched some places near work and found a tailoring shop that offered to do it for $14, well worth the labor in my opinion, but also cost-aversive since the pants I had were from Zara and on sale which I had been wearing for years now - $20/each. I figured it wasn't worth the cost. That brings me to a random bike ride home when I saw this place across the street and figured I'd give it a go. The lady in the front was super nice, and spoke Cantonese, Spanish, and English. She was super helpful and offered me $8/pair to take in. I asked for a discount if I brought in multiple pairs {7 total} and she agreed. After getting an experimental pair done first, I realised I would be coming here again and again. After that first pair, the results were dramatic. Shopping around SoHo within an hour, I was stopped inside of a Banana Republic asked by a sales associate if the pants were from them because a fellow shopper had noticed them and wanted the same cut and pair. Winning? I think so. Lucky Cleaners is my go to for tailoring!

They will be late on the pick up (by 1 day) and even later (an entire 2 days late) on delivery. The whole time the contact person kept delaying the eta. 3. Impolite and careless pickup and delivery workers. Our laundry bag was left in front of the house because they kept delaying the eta. They squeezed all of our clothes and linens into one bag instead of separating into two which caused a huge rip at the top of the laundry bag. 4. They will apologize profusely with no valid explanation or solution. They will offer a discount for the next time when they know you won't ever use their service again. 5. They will overcharge you for the service a week later, not providing any sort of receipt or itemized breakdown of costs.

On one of my recent visits, a man entered the store and was openly rude and disruptive, demanding Jess's attention and assistance while she was actively supporting another customer. His behavior was confusing and concerning to all of the customers who were in the store at the time, and we exchanged glances wondering what was going on. I was moved, inspired, and comforted by the composure with which Jess handled this challenging and uncomfortable situation. Jess was calm, polite, and firm, and she defused the situation swiftly and professionally. When the man left, she returned to supporting the customer she had been with, without expecting any validation from the customers who had witnessed what had transpired. Jess handled the situation in a manner that made everyone who was with her in the store feel safe. Many here have commented on the impeccable quality of Jess and her team's tailoring (my experience is consistent with these reports), and I thought this community might appreciate knowing that behind the exquisite tailoring is a woman with a clear purpose and set of values, which inform not only her work but also how she treats everyone who steps through her doors.

What makes this place stand out is that on one occasion we brought in our duvet cover to be cleaned and they told us it doesn't have to be dry cleaned, and even said the cost wasn't necessarily worth it unless you like how the duvet feels after dry cleaning (it feels a little different if it's machine-washed). My wife and I were so impressed by their honesty. They could easily pocketed the money to have our cover cleaned, but instead offered an alternative that was of no immediate benefit to them. THAT's how you build a long-term business.
