Cleaners nightmare!

I am not sure where to post this but I just wanted to share:

I picked up my dress from the cleaners last night. The same cleaners that cleaned it before my wedding. Before the wedding the owner was extremely nice and explained the process of cleaning it. It was two weeks before my wedding so I was a nervous wreck. They did a fabulous job. SO....Last night when I picked up my dress I noticed not only was it dingy and a slight color off the beading on the dress was messed up. I went back in and asked if they had sent it out with the beads on instead of cleaning it in house like I asked. The girl at the front without looking at it, immediately went and got the owner. He came out with his hands in his pockets and stood three feet away and said what is it? I explained and his respond was "no one will notice." WTF? So I calmly explained that the issue was not someone would notice it was the issue of that the dress is not in the shape it was before I brought it to them. HE shrugged and said is it you don't want to pay? OMG! I said I've already paid..you don't really seem sorry and your attitude as a biz owner is appalling! Long story short I made give me a copy of the "non-liability" release he had me sign. He rolled his eyes huffed and puffed and made me a copy where he had written in AFTER i signed it "not liable for beads and sequins" http://www.pantorium.com/

BTW, welcome back, I never see you around anymore.
April, that is terrible! I would definitely take it farther. I know you signed a liability release, but if you have pictures of the dress before and after I don't see how small claims court could not rule in your favor.

Tammy- Judge Judy...you are hilarious!

right? Well..i filed a complaint with BBB and I sent the form to a lawyer friend to read over. Meanwhile I went to the shop I bought the dress and the owner was sooo nice. She refered a cleaners that specializes in restoring gowns and she is going to help me order new beads from the designer. I just can't believe this mans attitude! I've never experienced such appalling behavior froma biz. I think they had to already have known when they gave it to me. Anyway. ..hopefully it will work out. Sometimes I am on here just lurking ..learning how to navigate the forum! All my wedding planning energy is now into decorating our house so I am a regular on furniture websites.

You took the thought right outta my head Tammy!

April - what a total bummer about your dress! I can't believe the nonchalant attitude the shop owner took with you. Hello??!! It's your wedding dress - kinda important! I think you did the right thing by going to the BBB. Good job.

And, yeah, you should follow TammyM's suggestion & keep in touch with us thru the Martha Stewart thread! We miss you! pinkie.gif

I agree with all the girls- share your decorating tips with us and keep in touch! Eventually we too will be able to talk about something besides wedding dresses, coordinating issues and stress!

I also like Tammy's idea about writing a horrible review to post everywhere...A little blackmail never hurt anyone! smile67.gif

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
