Customer reviews
Store came to my house to collect debt. Not a big deal. Understandable. I am not home but they proceed to tell my roommate all about my personal information which is illegal since it is a binding contract between me and them. Then the driver collects payment from roommate. I call store to find out that the driver said no one was home and stole my roommates money. I send the screenshot of the money taken from my roommates account and the store manager Matthew says he cant do anything about it. Filed a police report next will be a lawsuit.
They are very good at communication especially Cassie makes sure i don't forget to pay and is very nice i don't know other guys name but i had not liked the laptop i originally got and he helped me swap it out with a desktop same day and I'm still using as of this moment with zero issues
Sam and Matt are really good with people and there prices aren’t really bad either and they work with you if you are late on payments
The best company to come to and get a little bit of each item great customer service
When the need for an appliance arose , Matthew and his staff always aimed to please. They exerted every effort to locate items and offer the best deals. I have appreciated a long satisfactory relationship with the Main Street team in Gainesville, FL.
Entire staff is rude and unprofessional. I do not recommend!! They gave me a cigarette smoker bed, which caused me to go to The ER and triggered migraines I had to be hospitalized twice! Polly or whoever that answers the phone always has an attitude, very disrespectful. And the sales manger has a extremely slick in sarcastic mouth! I’ll never rent from them again! And I don’t recommend any of you renting from them! Even if you are desperate, don’t do it! Skip pass them! Try American freight , or furniture distribution center. Lower prices for brand new stuff, they have Layaway ect! Worse experience ever, they need to close this location down! And get a new professional staff because they one they have now is horrible.
