Fantastic Customer Satisfaction

So I took 2 pairs of curtains to be dry cleaned at our Kirkcaldy store within Asda. Lesley did explain to me that there was a very small risk that some of the metal eyelets may become detached during cleaning. Unluckily for me this happened but I did manage to get them repaired locally for a small price. Without asking, I received a letter from head office offering a full refund for the cleaning as well as 2 items cleaned free of charge. What a breath of fresh air for a company to look after paying customers in this manner, fantastic service and Lesley at the Kirkcaldy shop went above and beyond in terms of customer satisfaction...well done Johnsons 👏👏

returned plastic hangers go into the bin

I have used Johnson’s for a while now via our local Waitrose branch (Caversham). Their plastic hangers have ‘please return to be re-used’ stamped on them so we duly returned a bundle to the store. A Waitrose employee told us that Johnson’s don’t actually reuse the hangers - they put them straight into the bin. As they’re black plastic they can’t even be recycled. This is incredibly disappointing and I will not be using them again.

Excellent local dry cleaners (Harrogate)

Excellent dry cleaners on Leeds Road, Harrogate, offering an extensive range of services including photo processing. Staff couldn't be more helpful, very friendly and efficient, and nothing was too much trouble.

Excellent Service

I am so impressed with the service and kindness of the staff at our local store, particularly David who has gone over and above to help me with my recent visits to get a duvet cleaned. Friendly, caring, efficient and polite - it is such a joy to feel so well looked after. A rarity these days but a very welcome reminder of the joy of connecting with people that take pride in their job. Thank you.

Fantastic

Fantastic, friendly people. I always use them for clothes and small things. Last week, I needed the strap on my bag repaired, and they did it in 30 minutes. Perfect.

Ruined my blazer and because I couldn’t provide a receipt they won’t even offer me half of the money to replace it. I have the tags and box & sent a link to the exact item but no. It’s also taken weeks to get to this point. With zero contact I have had to chase

AVOID THIS COMPANY. Anything sentimental or high value, DO NOT TAKE HERE!!!!!!

Top review for this amazing shop

I find this shop amazing, whatever the problem there is always a solution and my clothes come back as new. The gentleman who runs it is so knowledgeable and helpful that I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Eastbourne store- Avoid avoid avoid

Eastbourne store- Avoid avoid avoid! I took my dress here for a replacement zip. When it arrived back the zip was puckered and had not been sewn evenly. I asked them to send to back to be redone which they did but when it was ready for collection, it was still uneven and puckered. I was told the repair was carried out by a seamstress - if this is the case I think she should find another vocation as her sewing 🧵 skills suck. DO NOT SEND YOUR PRECIOUS CLOTHES HERE, THEY’LL BE RUINED 😡

Thank you for your review, although I was sorry to read about the issues with your dress and your experience when you have recently visited.

Customer satisfaction is paramount to us and it is therefore very disappointing to me to hear how we have let you down on this occasion.

Please send an email to us on @customer.support@timpson.com so we can discuss this matter further.

Thank you to the wonderful lady in the Rochester Kent store who does the alterations. She is beyond a star, and did an amazing job on altering my daughter's wedding dress. She went above and beyond, fitting in the alterations for my daughter for her wedding on 03/10/24. The dress fitted perfectly and you wouldn't know there were any alterations made. Thank you for fitting her in before your holiday, again I can't thank you enough for making her feel so very special xXx

Very disappointed

I took my Hugo boss jacket to be dry cleaned and to see if they could get a stain out of it.
They in turn ended up burning the material of the suit jacket and washing it 3 times so the jacket is now in worse condition than it was when it went in. I now have a Jacket with material permanently damaged and unable to wear. I would’ve preference for them to do it once and say sorry we can’t get it out.
This personally is awful as it was my wedding suit and I’m gutted.

DO NOT GO HERE - CLOTHES RUINED FROM NOT READING SIMPLE DRY CLEANING CARE LABEL

I would give 0 stars if I could. They have absolutely no respect for your clothes and what should be an easy and simple job of reading and adhering to the dry cleaning care label was completely disregarded resulting in my clothes being ruined, unfixable and irreplaceable.

I trusted this well-known national dry cleaning company, believing my clothes would be in safe hands however, I was sorely mistaken. I strongly advise you to go to a business that actually knows how to dry clean clothes correctly. To make matters worse, they returned the clothing to me without mentioning the obvious damage, in the hope that I wouldn’t notice.

The complaints team are nothing short of incompetent and once I had made them aware of the error they merely parroted the line “we will not replace old for new” even if the item is in mint condition. This is evidently a ploy they have used on numerous occasions to justify inadequate compensation that doesn’t reflect the true value of your damaged clothing. They are also not part of any Ombudsman, Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme, or trade bodies, making it extremely difficult to escalate any claim, which seems very intentional on their part. Adding insult to injury, their T&Cs state that if they pay out any compensation at all your clothes then become their property!!!

Safe to say I will never use Johnsons Dry Cleaners again. You are much better off going to a smaller independent dry cleaner who will actually take care of your clothes and do a straight forward job of reading the cleaning instructions provided.

Couldn’t believe it the girls were upset at the fantastic.
