This location is used for Amazon return items; exercise caution when visiting as I experienced an issue with a recent return. A few weeks ago, I attempted to return two items to Amazon, but upon receipt, they only acknowledged one item and are now attempting to charge me for the second item, which I refuse to pay. I contacted the location, spoke with an individual claiming to be the manager, and inquired about the returns; she stated that she placed them in the Amazon return basket. Regardless of the circumstances, it is essential to be cautious.

Be cautious when utilizing this Rent-A-Center as a return location for Amazon items, as I experienced an issue where they only received one of the two items I attempted to return, and they are currently investigating the matter, as they continue to attempt to debit my card, which is causing frustration; therefore, exercise vigilance when returning items, particularly clothing, to this location.

I signed up online with Rent-A-Center two weeks ago and uploaded every document they requested. I never received a single call or follow-up. The Black Friday “special” turned out to be a complete lie—when I finally called the store, they didn’t even have the product I ordered. The customer service was honestly the worst I’ve ever experienced. The employees had nasty attitudes whenever I asked simple questions, and they repeatedly asked me for the same documents I had already uploaded on day one. No communication, no accountability, and they talk to you like they’re doing you a favor. Save yourself the stress and go somewhere else. This location desperately needs new management, because this is unacceptable. It’s a shame it be your own people.
