Scheduled a delivery and made a down payment just for the store to tell me that the only guy in the store got "thrown into a meeting" and so they won't deliver. At least cancellation is fairly easy.

It has been sometimes since I have rented anything the staff was all great. However, the products seemed to stop working after purchase I bought a laptop. It stopped working about six months after I bought it. Also, when I moved my washer stopped working and they replaced it with a cheaper brand and that also stopped working within eight months of purchase. I purchased a bedroom set. The light was broke on the headboard was promised to be replaced. It was never replaced. The two couches I have purchased brand new were great.

Horrible experience will never use RAC again. Here is the background. I am a former Credit manager and had a great repor with them, my wife and I are diamond members (spend a certain amount of money and pay off items to obtain a great customer level) . Now the issue. My wife and I are moving to a new place, we scheduled that our items be picked up and moved to the new location. After being given a date and time ,the manager called and rescheduled due to a employee being ill, no worries, the next date the pick up never happened, when my wife called to ask what was going on the manager was rude and not only hung up on her once but twice, refused to give his name and treated her terribly. So I call and get the same horrible experience hung up on and treated poorly, this whole time I have been very calm. So we take a few of the smaller items over to the store to turn in and the manager continues to treat us bad. My wife has at this point called corporate and is on the phone with the corporate office and they are being completely apologetic for his actions. He continues to bad mouth me and my wife and refuses to take the items and provide us with a receipt. All he is doing is threatening us that he is gonna call the cops and saying we are intimidating to him(so not true ,I haven't even raised my voice) at this point the corporate office is telling us to just leave the product there and they will take care of it for us. As we leave the manager still runs his mouth and even said that if he wasn't at work that he would fight me...( Not intimidating at all...lol) So I would only recommend anyone who reads this not to go here either go to the 18th street RAC or better yet go to AArons where you will get treated with dignity and respect. Not like dirt. Not a Karen but RAC after all these years has lost a customer forever and will never see another penny of my money as long as they allow this kind of thing to go on. Buyer Beware! Zero stars if I could ...

Rebecca and her team is amazing! I came in yesterday when Matt from NY was there, and he got my account started, smooth transaction and I called in today inquiring about the iPhone 16e and Rebecca was quick, and professional and I was able to go to the store and pick it up! I have an iPad and iPhone 16e from this store and so far it’s been a great experience with them. I am really glad I chose this location as my main store, and everyone here is so kind!
