I have been a bit upset about how you all handled pick in my building, for seven years I have been a devoted customer and then a few times my deliveries did not come. Upon inquiry I was informed that you were just doing me a favor as a long term customer as you didn’t deliver to apartments anymore. I had no idea this change happened, that you were doing me a favor by drill delivering, and that they service had thus become a bit unreliable. I haven’t used the service but see my neighbors still do. I guess this was all a bit c... read more

Business response:

Hi, Robert! Yes, delivery to your apartment is not very reliable as we depend on parking being available at the time we stop by. This is the reason we no longer deliver to most apartment complexes. We typically like the driver to just drop off or pick up outside the front door of the house, so going inside apartments and taking the elevator/stairs is also something we factor in when deciding if we can deliver somewhere. We did not notify existing customers of this change as it would only effect new customers since we were n... read more

Honestly, I used to love this business, I even got my wedding dress tailored there! But can’t express how disappointed I was by the recent service. I brought in a pair of jeans to ask about alteration options, and even said I was willing to get creative with stitching options. The company who made the jeans told me there should be options, but I was immediately told that would never be an option and turned away. I could hear the tailor basically yelling and the girl working the front desk (who was very nice) when I asked her... read more

Business response:

Hi, Amelia! I'm so sorry if it wasn't explained to you as to why the alteration couldn't be done. Jeans cannot be let out in the waist. There is no extra fabric to be let out, so it's not physically possible to alter them bigger unless we are attaching fabric from another pair of jeans into the waist. They would not look natural though. However, if jeans are too short or too large, they can be taken in or hemmed. I have no explanation as to why the company you bought the jeans from would say you could let out the waist, pe... read more

Navy blazer was cleaned. Balfurd ripped off a monogrammed button. I picked up blazer.,they never mentioned it. Returned it, promised manager would call. Never did call. After 2 weeks went back and told them again. Now it's another week and no call. Anyone know a good dry cleaner? 

Business response:

Hi, Robert. We emailed you 10/24 and are waiting to hear back from you. Please email info@balfurd.com if you're still interested in the solution we talked about on the phone - No rush, just checking in. Thank you! -The Balfurd Team

Your ad (email) offers 15% off through August 13 - but you were actually CLOSED on the 13th. Not a happy experience 

Business response:

Hi, Reg. Feel free to drop off the order you were looking to apply the 15% off to any time and just mention at drop off that we are honoring the 15% off coupon you received through email. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience! -The Balfurd Team

I brought cafe curtains to be dry cleaned there was 4 pieces, 2 pieces were unlined and 2 pieces were lined. I asked for cost before leaving them and was told 3.09 ea. for the 2 unlined and 4.59 ea for the two lined . After a week when I pick them up my total bill was over $28. When I asked for an explanation nobody could give me an answer just a shrug. I left vowing never to return. 

Business response:

Hi, Linda. Our apologies for the incorrect quoting of your drapes. We would be more than happy to offer a gift card for the $13.14 difference if that would make it right. If there is a different solution you would prefer please reach out to info@balfurd.com or 814-237-7661. Thank you. -The Balfurd Team

Too expensive! $20 for a dress? 

Business response:

We're so sorry you were surprised by our pricing, Belinda. We will happily give you a price quote when you drop off your items. We're not a discount cleaner (as many city cleaners are) and our mission is a high standard of service, community involvement/support and providing our team a fair/living wage and benefits. If price is your ONLY consideration, we may not be the cleaner for you. Please reach out to us at 814.237.7661 or info@balfurd.com if we can answer any questions. -The Balfurd Team

All of my dress shirts are showing yellow ring around the collar, they are not being thoroughly cleaned 

Business response:

Hi, Nick! Stain removal is not guaranteed, and the likely hood of a spot or stain coming out depends on a few factors like material of the fabric, how long it has set and the type of stain. We do offer free re-dos on any items you're not happy with. While we can never promise stain removal, we will try again at no cost to you! Feel free to bring the shirts back in at any time, just let us know at drop off that it is a re-do. Thanks for taking the time to leave us feed back. It is much appreciated! -The Balfurd Team
