I went straight home and hung the items in the closet. The next day on a Sunday my husband did not find his suit in the bundle. There was only one suit and one shirt. The following week we called to report it missing. Everyone was nice and said if it could not be located the owner would do the right thing. The clerk went on to say, "I've seen him make refunds on stuff that was old and tattered." We initiated every call to request the status and we were put off each time. He's looking for it. We can't find it. One excuse after another. No one ever once tried to call us back to give us status. Finally I wrote down the sequence of events to make sure the owner knew we weren't trying to scam them. Then my husband called and the owner took offense immediately. His response became negative. We told him the price we paid for the suit in 2009. The suit was purchased from Joseph A Banks and we acquired the purchase information directly from the vendor and gave the contact info to the dry cleaners to follow up. From then on it was down hill. The suit is regularly priced at $550.00 and we not once asked for that. to be fair we requested the sales price we paid which was less than $250.00. He said he would look for the suit another 30 days and get back with us. Today is April 19th and no response. He went on about how he was a Christian and countered how would he know if someone hadn't broken into our house and stolen the suit. I don't know what happened to that suit and my husband just purchased the same one again on sale. I wonder if the suit had been damaged in the cleaning process and then discarded by one of his workers to keep a job? We don't know what to believe at this point. At any rate, in response to his speculation of theft; we have few visitors and we have a monitored alarm system on our home. Then he told us to take him to court! The owner is Dwain Chambers and his father was once the mayor of Athens. Don't do business with this dry cleaners. He has chosen to believe that we are misrepresenting the facts to save himself some money. We've never encountered such lousy service from a business owner who claims to be a Christian. He did not even offer to refund us for the cost of cleaning the suit.
Description of Work: We paid to dry clean 2 men's suits and one shirt. I left a meeting early Saturday afternoon to go to the cleaners to pick up the order and paid about $18.00 to cover the cost of 2 men's suits and one shirt. I left the cleaners and went straight home. I did not make any other stops. I did not check the content I paid for before leaving the cleaners. Mistake.

Response from SUNSHINE CLEANERS
Response to complaint from [This Member]: both the customer and I agree that the items brought in for cleaning were 2 men’s pants, 2 men’s coats, and 1 shirt to be laundered. I personally checked with our inspector/bagger and was assured that the order was complete with 2 men’s pants, 2 men’s coats, and 1 laundered shirt. Our counter person who waited on [This Member] has been instructed and she counts the hangers on each outgoing order, in this case 5. If the count had been only 3, she would have notified [This Member] that 1 suit was missing. [This Member] accepted the order without question and paid for and left the shop. Subsequently I received a letter from [This Member] stating that on Sunday morning March 19, 2011 he reached into his closet to put on a cleaned suit and it was missing. It would appear to me that [This Member] would have asked if one suit was missing, would have told her husband, “I only got back 1 suit”. [This Member] before a complaint was made to Angie's List complained to the BBB in College Park, GA. A distance of 80 miles from our store. And [This Member] indicated he discovered the suit missing on Saturday March 18, 2011, a discrepancy from his original complaint. It is our sincere belief that [This Member] was given 2 suits and one shirt when she picked up the cleaning order on Saturday, March 18th 2011.
