Uniforms

Not sure if this would be the right place for this question but here goes.

 

I recently got into a problem with my uniform service. I had a hell of a time choosing a uniform service as for whatever reason most of the reps from the larger companies in my area (Cintas) are complete A-holes. I finally got linked up with a company, they took about 2 months to get my uniforms to me (I believe 3-4 weeks was the turn around time). When our cleaning service finally began we have had a problem with pick ups. They would only be able to pick up at certain times which we weren't open. Most weeks we would get no pick ups. I only got the cleaned uniforms when the rep would come down himself about once a month or once every three weeks to pick up the check. Things came to a head early this week when the company sent someone down to "collect the uniforms because this wasn't working out." I was pretty annoyed with the way they handled things and I told them they would have to wait and see what I wanted to do. They basically gave me the option of buying the uniforms outright ($600 per set, I have 2 sets) or returning them. For one I have paid them without interruption every week even when we didn't receive a pick up or drop off.

 

I am debating on whether to negotiate to buy the uniforms outright as I feel I have paid a portion of them already for services that were not completed.

 

 

Do any of you guys buy your own uniforms instead of using a uniform service??

I like having a uniform service that cleans and maintains my uniforms for me. I currently use Unifirst but will probably switch to Cintas as soon as my Unifirst contract is up. Be careful to look closely at the paperwork and see if you signed a length contract.

We use Cintas and I am very happy with the service, send me a message and I can get the the contact info for our rep.

The uniform company is trying to break the contract, not us. I'm not sure what that means but if they take the uniforms back or I buy them outright I will most certainly have them provide paperwork stating our contract is null and void and that no further money is owed.

Will do thank you.
