Every single employee who has ever worked here in my time renting from them has been accommodating and wonderful. My most recent experience with Mia on the phone was a very pleasant one she fixed what I needed done and helped me in more ways than one. She was very patient and easy to talk to. All the employees here deserve a raise but a true thank you to Mia! She's awesome

Always have an easy and great experience dealing with the people at the Forest Hills store. Will surely return. They like to keep in touch, but not too often to see if there is anything you need. They always thank you for paying off a product and make sure you're happy with it. All around friendly people at this store. I've gotten an awesome tv, laptop that is perfect for my needs and a PS5 when no one had them. They also ask if there is anything you may be interested in in the future so they can let you know if they get anything in you would want. They care about the client as a person and not a target. Pretty awesome people and service all around! 7 stars out of 5!
