Okay, I'm posting this here because I don't know where else it should go. Maybe this is even somewhat inappropriate to post on such a positive forum, but I'd like your input!
I recently went through a restructuring and upgrading of my wardrobe. (From uber cotton casual to business professional.) I purchased quite a few items that require dry cleaning -- 8 of which I took to one of those $3.63 dry cleaners. Of course, being a cotton kinda gal, I was not familiar with the quality of the workmanship of these cheap dry cleaning places but took the advice of a friend who said that she frequently took her clothes there.
Well, I picked up my 8 pieces today and nearly fainted. They had poked safety pins through my $85 skirt (never worn) and now there are big pukas in the waistline which are very noticeable. Also, my dress shirts look worse than when I brought them in -- apparently not pressed.
I could've done a better job with my dryer and a box of Dryel. Grrr...
Am I expecting too much for $3.63/piece? Does anyone know if this is "normal"? Or if I have grounds to complain? (Especially about the damage done to the skirt.)
