Li’s Dry Cleaners

OK so they are pretty decent and affordable when it comes to tailoring, for that I am giving them another star.

I took a pile of clothing that needed mending to Li’s. The woman working there took my measurements (for elastic replacement) and told me she’d make a special trip to find the right zipper for the jacket I brought in. She went over each price and wrote the total on the ticket.
I picked up the clothes today and I couldn’t be more pleased. After having not such good luck with other cleaners, I was really happy with the job she did. This is expert work– clean and professional. She even noticed a seam split on my dress and fixed it while I was standing there.
Highly recommended for mending!

I too, got suckered when they lost our expensive piece of dry-​cleaning by the «Credit». However, when they ripped our 2^nd piece of dry-​cleaning, that was the last straw.
I’ve also noticed in their original shop, water dripping from the air conditioner… ONTO ANOTHER CUSTOMER’S LAUNDRY BAG… I had to point it out and even then they barely moved it…
I think they definitely are old-​school, but in the modern world, does not stand up to competition and efficiency surrounding them…

Don’t be fooled by the innocent smiles coming from the folks at this establishment. Their dry cleaning and alteration prices are nothing to brag about. They don’t have a standard for what they charge and they will charge you a different price for the same article of clothing a week later. You are better off taking a walk around the corner to smart cleaners or somewhere nearby.

Get ready to be price gauged if you’re getting your clothing dry cleaned here. Despite it’s very convenient location and waving to the little old woman in the storefront every time I pass, she always managed to overcharge me for dry cleaning. All winter long, I would hand her my wool coat and she’d say «For you, $ 13 dolla». Next person walks in, same schpeel, «For you, $ 13 dolla.» Never writes a price on the ticket. Come pick up day, the price is $ 15. After so many times getting ripped off, there is only so much you can take. Today, I pick up the same wool coat and a pair of suede gloves, which she priced at $ 14-​$ 15 dollars. As I stand near the counter, she writes on the ticket $ 15 for the coat and $ 18 for the gloves. Many attempts were made to argue the price discrepancy but she pretended not to hear me and walked away and she and the seamstress talked in another language scoffing and laughing. I left $ 30 on the counter and walked out of the store with the women bantering behind me. It’s a lesson learned — never have your clothes dry cleaned without an estimate on the receipt. God forbid they would have claimed their was a stain on the coat. It could have been another «$ 13 dolla, just for you» to clean.

Li’s Cleaners (formerly on Henry, now around the corner on Sackett) are friendly, helpful and efficient with drycleaning and shirt laundry, prices are competitive with elsewhere in the neighborhood and they are open long hours. Have been coming here nearly 5 years with no problems whatsoever.

This place is TOTALLY unorganized. I went in the first time and didn’t even get a claim ticket. They told me to write my name on a piece of paper and attach it to my laundry bag. I come in later to get my laundry and they ask me «Ok which bag is yours???»
They ask you to separate your bleach/​non-​bleach in separate bags. I guess this makes sense, but I’ve been to launderers b4 that do not ask this. They sort it themselves…
They lost my wife’s dry cleaning item. I’m not sure how much it is but I think it was very important sentimentally to her.
There were some customers before us. The people there spent 10 minutes trying to find their dry cleaning. There were several shirts hanging on a long hangar. THEY ASKED THE CUSTOMER WHICH SHIRTS WERE HIS!!!
I totally do NOT trust this place. TOTALLY unorganized…
If you don’t trust me that’s fine, maybe do a small trial run of your laundry b4 you start trusting them, but I did that and was not satisfied. I don’t mind walking a few more blocks.
