I loved the patience and care they took with me. It was a young lady who forgot her name. I was definitely taken aback by the care I received from her. She called me while I was online didn't get a chance to talk myself out of buying

I did an online order with Aaron’s on December 5th, 2022, and since then have had nothing but a pleasant experience with this store and team. On Wednesday I called to ask about my delivery date and time (need I remind you I just moved in my apartment and my anxiety was an absolute nightmare) and I spoke with a young man named “Richard”. This young man was so pleasant and knew I was stressed out. He took his time with me, spoke to me calmly, made me laugh and told me “ Come on it’s only noon that it’ll get better”. That made my day. He made my payment on the day it needed it be and took the payment. Thank you Richard. He also took my new address where the delivery was going and entered it in the system. The next day I called again to make sure everything was done properly and spoke with A.C. Rest assured, my information was correct. A.C. was very pleasant as well. On Friday, the 16, my delivery was delivered. I didn’t know they were downstairs and calling because of the number they were calling from didn’t register so it went straight to voicemail. After looking again at my phone I decided to call and it was the store. My delivery driver waited for about 6 minutes downstairs ugh.I apologized and James (my driver) was very nice and understanding. I love my couch and this team! Very professional! Thanks Aaron’s Team! I look forward to our journey together!
