I have worked in retail a long time, so now one thing I appreciate is genuine,
good, customer service. Today I got amazing customer service!
This is how happy I look after great customer service! Scrunchy nose is a sign of real happiness with me.
Over the last two weeks my poor overlocker had just sat there, wanting to be fixed.
I attempted to take out the old needle on several occasions; I even got Justin
to try. Okay yes I know if I could find the tool kit and the instructions, life
would be easier.
I decided to take it to Sewco at Mt Gravatt, as my sewing and mending pile was
growing. I was more than willing to pay to have it cleaned and for the new
needle to be inserted. However, Janette (who served me) not only cleaned and
replaced the needles, she did it for free AND she was patient enough to
show/teach me how to do it.
They hold a half hour class for $35, on the how to basics with your
overlocker, I am definitely asking for this as a birthday present!
Again, I cannot comment enough on the great service, she even
recommended other fabric places I could go in my quest of finding fabric with
maps on it.
My overlocker needs a service too! And my sewing machine. I've been quoted about $200 (or a bit less) each. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThe chappie I saw was friendly enough, chattering away to Ken like they were old friends, but I haven't tested their service yet. Also in Mt Gravatt, but not the same company you saw. If they don't work out I know where to go!
Give these guys a call. they have serviced my sewing machine before and done a great job. Plus heaps cheaper than your quote.
DeleteGood on you for spreading the word. A little good goes a long way!
ReplyDeleteSo much negativity out there. It feels good to spread some positive opinions.
DeleteAlways good to share positive experiences, it's nice to reward good customer service. I think smart business are waking up to the reality that word of mouth has such an impact now (with social media) and the smart ones are providing great customer service.
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to support small businesses, especially when the customer service is this good.
