Customer reviews
They will blow up your phone at all hours of the day but never answer when you call!

Just waiting for my refrigerator on Tuesday Ashley did everything right and she's a great help
Had item for 5 days. Called said they could have back i purchased what I had rented. By time I had signed agreement and told them pick up was 7 days. They charged for the month and will not refund any money. But surely could rent out to someone else during the time i paid for. After speaking to district manager it was fixed.
2 star review for customer service. I’ve gotten the same rude individual everytime I’ve called. Also, They charged my card for an entire month when it was supposed to be a week payment.. called to get this figured out and I was greeted with the rude, argumentative attitude, instead of an apology for the miscommunication it was “ well I asked you when you called. So what do you want me to do about it?” Probably put it back on my card? That would be a good idea.. Maybe get people with better phone skills and manners ? Idk but after I’ve finished paying off this fridge that doesn’t work in the first place.. they have lost me .
