Customer reviews
I would like to say I had a fabulous experience working with buddies for the first time. I was graciously taken on by my salesperson Christina who helped me not only pick out the things that I wanted but also to make sure that my payment agreement and everything was filled out and signed correctly. I was glad that she was there from the beginning until the end.
This is the second time I have worked with Buddy’s furniture and both times have worked out flawlessly. I would like to praise both Christina and her moving team for their professionalism. Christina was so helpful throughout the process of my request and their flexibility with scheduling. She is an excellent communicator and was quick to respond back to my texts. I would not hesitate to rent from Buddy’s again.
Miss Christina Lopez was very helpful she took a time and search through all the items that I was looking for until she found the best option for me and I was excited
I ordered a sectional online—the ordering process was so smooth. Christina actively communicated, answered all my questions and concerns immediately. And her customer service skills were impeccably professional. She made me feel like I was in her presence although the transactions were completely virtual. This was such an easy and great experience. Thank you!
I think it's telling that when I dialed the number to this place, I got an automated warning telling me to hang up the phone because I may be scammed. Never experienced that before. Anyway, I was only in this business for about 2 - 3 minutes. It's inside of the HEB on Riverside. I was approached by 2 police officers telling me the manager wanted me to leave. So I had to leave the HEB and couldn't do my grocery shopping like I had planned. The manager, Miguel I believe is his name, makes me recommend you avoid this place.
The manager at the Heb buddies on riverside Dr was the most caring and helpful person I have ever met in the rent to own business.She listened closely to my needs and went above and beyond to meet my criteria and budget. It was a wonderful experience and I am grateful for her time and the interaction.She is a pillar in this company and does very well at her part in carrying her company into the future. I have a disabled child and her patience was everlasting.The grandeur of the experience is unrivaled in my opinion. Thank you, Sincerely Brent C
I’d like to give a big thank you to Jennifer, the Manager. She is always reliable, fair, and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of. She never lets me down and truly puts in the extra effort to help you get what you need. The merchandise and appliances are always top quality. I greatly appreciate the excellent service every time. — Julio Ramirez
