I was late on payment trying to get caught up they harassed my wife and I every day would leave a tag on our door or throw it on our lawn littering they told my wife they'd report the items we got as stolen which they can not do they use terror tactics to intimidate customers into paying or returning the goods

What a joke. I come in wanting a Amana set. Overheard conversation that apparently you guys couldn't get a brand new washer. Okay..thats fine. I dont mind great conditioned appliances. But then want to charge me over $150 for the cheapest set you have. Nah. Im going to Aarons. I can get a brand new Whirlpool set for $138 a month. And they are better then Amana. I forgot why I dont go to RAC. They rip you out bad.

We went in the other day with my soon to be 6 year old boy and he was very excited! In turn he was a bit rowdy wanting to jump around from here to there and sit on everything (as one does, of course!) and every employee was amazing with him. They didn’t mind at all and the older man with glasses even offered him a juice box. They were very kind and patient. Delivery was also very well done and professionally, also QUICK. Next day! Very refreshing to have this experience! Our boys love their new bunk bed. Thank you so much!
