Ive been a customer for many years everything ive ever bought ive kept an payed off bedroom set washer an dryer mac book an more I'm forgetting. Sad to say I will never purchase anything from here again an will be returning my recently purchased fridge due to the most unprofessional employees currently working at this location. Kid by the name Quinton was very rudeon the phone an was demanding of payment to be made without even giving me the chance to explain I would be in with cash to pay after work do to card issues.... Then proceeded to be unprofessional when I arrived to pay. I payed my bill an let them know they can pivk it up next friday for return.

I had two gentleman named Nicholas and Ezekiel come and deliver a couch today. I missed them when they arrived and all it took was one call and they showed right back up with great attitudes and wonderful customer service. They got the couches in and set them up in little to no time. They were very friendly and very polite when it came to my requests. Big props to them. 10/10 would recommend going through them if you ever need appliances brought to your home.

Worst place in the world. I got a phone there in Dec., my girl got one in April, we paid the same amount in payments, but hers is almost paid off and I still owe $200...plus I told the manager to remove my card off file and I would come in today so we could go over the account and he charged my card anyway...seems people are pocketing their customers money over there and never applying it to their accounts.

This will be the LAST contract with RAC. The customer service rep didn't go over my contract with me when it started and I had added fees on my account. When I asked the manager what they were he basically blamed me for not asking what they were. Um, excuse me! Where is it my place to tell your rep how to do their job? I would have asked about the charge had I known I was being charged. The rudeness... unbelievable.
