Does your rent a center have Lois Baton undergarments for rent by the week? Im asking for the individual who was asking to use my credit card at the gas station on Kibby Street and St John's street in Lima Ohio in 2009 who needed money for gas but was too stick up for change when I had spent the $20 I had as a bill and offered the change in my console but they were too good for enough change to fill it twice. Is your refrigerator running? Better go catch it! 😂 Oh yes they call him the Streak! 🎼 I couldn't afford to buy the Louis Buttun. Can you please assist so I can act like I am better than anyone in the ones that are made without tags over at Cirillas? May the Fourth be with you Chabbaca.

First - I have had a dryer that I have to move to a different spot every time because I’m paying this obnoxious price and they never even provided me with the correct cord to go into my outlet. Nor did they set up that little exhaust tube - which is a fire hazard. Also. You can pay your bill on time every time. But God forbid it doesn’t come out once cause you’ll think the police are at your door and it’s just rent a center. When this is done - if I decide to even keep it - I will never in my life give them any more business and I will be sure to not recommend them to anyone. They’ve even pounded on my door like that just to leave a paper about them having a sale. Then I find out they’re trained to beat down doors like that. No. I wouldn’t answer the door for my mother if she came knocking that way. I also got my door beat down for a week over $45 and after telling them I had last minute surgery (appendicitis) so I needed a week. Save yourself the stress, someone out there is selling it cheaper anyways.

The two gentlemen who delivered both of my couches have been nothing but kind and friendly each time! Had a small issue with a couch that we received that was preowned (not the stores fault) and the employees had no hesitation in helping us fix the problem! 5 stars every time.

Well I am not happy and giving them 2 stars is being generous because they have been late delivering my items twice. The first time it was because they had to stop for an oil change and I was to get a delivery today by 5 and it is 10 til 8 pm and they are not here. I will be calling Monday morning to complain.
