Misplaced a sports coat and, come to think of it, other things. This is no longer Meridian Heights, by service nor name. It's TIDE. It's attractive but now, after 40 years of dropping our clothes at this location, things are getting lost, They don't admit to "lost", they say things will be ready at 5:00 or tomorrow at 5:00 or next Tuesday at 5:00 or they will call you when something is ready. A manager was finally able to locate the sports jacket but we've decided to pick up the rest no matter where they are in TIDE's back rooms and do them ourselves for the time being. Come on! You have a great location and fairly strong customer base, I would think. Think we'll wait to have you clean our stuff until you clean up your up your act.

The buttons were carefully wrapped and one of their clerks phoned me to get permission to sew a loose button tighter. The suit looked brand new after the cleaning and my mother looked lovely in it.

We received a "Free" $10.00 dry cleaning bag in our front door. Well, let's try them out we thought. (Even though they failed to heed the "no soliciting" sign on our door. Should have seen the writing on the wall there). We put a single sweater in the bag. It came back a week later with a second EMPTY hanger and an invoice for 1 items at no cost and a second item at about $7.00. Well we only gave them 1 item. We called and emailed and NEVER received a response from either. Finally we paid the $7.00. Simply not worth the headache. They are simply dishonest thieves. They invoiced us incorrectly and then failed to correct the problem give multiple chances. Finally, we just gave in. Sounds to me as if it is a premeditated plan to scam people out little amounts of money that they won't fight over.

I'm having better luck here. There's a little bit more consistency. The stuff comes back a little bit more nicely packaged. I'm happier with that. They're my regular guys. I'm pretty happy with them. They do unusual stuff like comforters and pillows. They take care of them and it's good. My stuff comes back clean and it's very nicely packaged. They're great on professionalism. I appreciate that and I enjoy that.

I have been going to Meridian Heights for many years -- they have always been the best. The service is terrific. I'm a regular weekend customer and sometimes they will see me coming and get my pickup ready even before I enter the store. We have taken curtains and table linens to them -- all done to perfection. I trust them with all my dry cleaning, shirt laundry, and silks. Top notch job every time. Chris the manager is great, and the team is always friendly.

We use them all the time. The staff is great. We have been going to the for a long time, 30 years. They were Meridian Heights then somebody else bought them but they kept the name. It's Dearing Cleaner now but we've been going there forever. I don't think they've really lost many things over the years.

"Mr. [removed member name], We appreciate you taking your time to post of a review of our company. It seems you were pleased in most areas, except that you gave quality a C and our overall a C. We pride ourselves on quality and service and are committed to providing the very highest level in both areas and so we are extremely interested in finding out where we may have fallen short. Please stop by anytime and we will try to do anything we can to make sure you have nothing but a straight A experience. Thank you. John Knight"

I called Meridian Heights Cleaners shortly after they opened and asked if they did 1 hour cleaning.  They said "No", but could get the two suits back by the end of the business the same day.   I picked up the suits from our son and daughter-in-law and delivered the suits to Meridian Heights Dry Cleaners at 8:44 a.m.
The woman I spoke to at Meridian Heights Cleaners said the suits could be picked up the next day.  I told the woman I had called before coming to Meridian Heights Cleaners and was informed that the suits could be available the same day.   I explained my need to have them back the same day.  
The woman responded with an immediate and polite confirmation that they could indeed be done by the end of the day.  She added that she would take extra special care to have them ready.  
Meridian Heights Cleaners greatly exceeded my expectationsby a very large margin by having the two suits available for pick up much earlier than promised.  
Consequently, I want to thank ALL of the people at Meridian Heights Cleaners for providing me a service that was greatly appreciated.

Response from Meridian Heights Cleaners Inc

The location is convenient to my home and they are local. They have been in business for about 70 years at the same location. I have been using them for about 10 years now. I like that they use heavy starch on the shirts and they also have convenient parking. They are always so friendly and if you have a problem with a shirt, which hardly ever happens, they are great at addressing my concerns.

They are friendly and very consistent. They don't lose anything. They are responsive to special requests on your clothes. They are open at convenient hours for me. They usually get the job done within 3-4 days and prices are reasonable.

We use their service every week. We have been using them for about 30 years.  They are efficient, the work is good and they are easy to deal with. They are always on time. If something doesn't come clean, they are great about taking it back to clean again. We always drop off our clothes at this location. If you drop it off before 10 am, they can get it done the same day which is really nice. Otherwise it takes about 3-4 days or you can request on a 24 hour basis. I really like the flexibility.

These two instances, since Deering Cleaners purchased the original Meridian Heights Cleaners indicates a wholesale deterioration of service quality by this establishment.  In the years prior under the original owner, such incidents never occurred when we had various articles cleaned and pressed.

We will no longer do business with this establishment.  In short, two strikes here and you are out.  We cannot afford to loose more money to substandard service providers like this.
Response from Meridian Heights Cleaners Inc
"I feel terrible that the members have had this experience. Thankfully, I do not believe it is representative at all of the typical experience for a customer at Meridian Heights. I did check into this situation and saw that there had been a couple items back for a redo, which is unfortunate, but I did not see, and could not locate anyone on the staff, that was aware of any claim being made about our damaging an item. It is absolutely my policy that in any such cash I would always want the customer to feel they had been dealt with fairly in reaching a settlement. Like many businesses, we have experienced the a few challenges that come up when a business changes ownership. Installing new equipment, computerizing the operations, bringing in several new staff members. Each has come with challenges. However, with these changes now complete, we feel we are in an excellent position to move towards Meridian Heights becoming the premier couture cleaners in Indianapolis. This means always providing exceptional quality and friendly, knowlegeable and helpful service. So please give us a try and I believe you will find that quality and service have improved significantly and that you you will see it continue to move up very quickly as we settle for nothing short of being the absolute best. It is a commitment that we talk about and strive for every day. And, oh yes, if you would be willing to come back and speak with me, I would be happy to talk about settling on these items and further about giving you some free cleaning so that you can tell me how we are coming in achieving our goals. Enjoy the beautiful spring and please know that I would love to speak with you at any time. Thanks. Greg"

I used them because they were close. I think they did a good job. My wife found out she is allergic to dust mites and we had this big bedspread that we needed to get dry cleaned. They didn't get it done when they said they would. I had to go back there several times before they finally got it done. It is probably not the case that this happens all  the time. I think they did a good job and all that. I would recommend them. I gave them a couple of shirts that needed repair, the sticking on the pocket needed repaired, they washed the shirts and did the repairs. They did a good job.
