My sister in law brought her dress here to get altered for prom, when she got it back, there were a ton of water marks on it that the seamstress refused to take credit for. I called multiple times to complain about this to the company, with no call ever being picked up. Eventually, everyone started writing negative reviews on google about the service.
Once these reviews were seen, they called her right away and said they would pay for the dry cleaning on the dress, and help with costs if it didn’t come out. Luckily most of the stains came out, so she can still wear the dress on Monday to prom.
It is understandable that things happen and mistakes are made. In any business these things can happen. However, the dress is not the main concern. The lack of accountability from the seamstress, and the fact that we had to leave consistent negative reviews to have action taken is concerning to me as someone who works in the customer service industry. Even though it is rarely my fault, I have to rectify situations like this at work all the time, and know how it should be handled. The work done by the company was done well, but they need to readdress their policies, especially when they are in fact in the wrong.
That being said, I hope the company has learned from this customer service mistake and can move forward from our incident. This whole endeavour could have been fixed with an apology and a promise to make it right, and would’ve saved my SIL and the family from a panicked and stress filled week, and saved Capri Alterations from a lot of negative reviews.
