President Tuxedo Going Under??

Cassie, on June 17, 2020 at 1:47 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10
TLDR: ordered tuxes, need one more, and business has gone AWOL


My FH ordered his and one groomsman’s tuxedo from President Tuxedo in March the day before everything closed. Have tried calling since to order one for our other groomsman but no one is answering at either local stores or the corporate office. Got a phone call from the corporate office on May 13 saying they would open in two weeks and would get a call from them to order at that time. Have not heard from them since, once again no one is answering the phone and we have 6 weeks until the wedding. None of their stores are open although other tuxedo stores are in my area. Idk at what point we should file a dispute on our credit card and try to find something somewhere else. Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome!

    I would start looking elsewhere ASAP. Luckily most suits are pretty standard so you should be able to find something similar.

    I would look elsewhere, maybe try a local place. We were going to go through Men's Wearhouse, but they haven't began opening there stores by us. So we canceled and went to a local place. Plus it's cheaper. After that happened the next night I found an article that said Men's Wearhouse could be filing for bankruptcy and closing some stores.

    Really?! Men’s Wearhouse was my backup because they just opened their store near me (Ohio)

    Yeah, I don't know. The store by me hasn't opened. We were by there the other day and they still have signs up from when they first shutdown in March. Like no one has been there, so to me at least for the store by me it doesn't look like they are going to re-opening any time soon.

    Yeah that’s what it sounds like. I got. Phone call in May that they would be open in my area by the end of the month but that obviously didn’t happen Smiley sad

    The only way Men's Wearhouse would communicate with us was through email, they had chat but at one point I had it up at work for over 3 hours and never got connected to anyone. I asked repeatedly for ETA of when the store by us and the other groomsmen would re-open they said to keep checking the store locator. About 2 weeks we made the decision to no longer continue with them. I called a local place to see if they could accommodate us; they said yes. I emailed Men's Wearhouse informing them I would like to cancel the rentals. I told a small lie and said the wedding was canceled to get the refund for the deposit. But at that point I didn't care anymore.

    Maybe try Generation Tux or The Black Tux? I'm so sorry President Tuxedo has been totally MIA!!

    Thanks, I’ll definitely take a look at these! We’re leaning towards just getting a suit at Kohl’s and being done with it because it’s so hard for us to trust the ordering process anymore. Although after contacting their customer service saying I’m filing a dispute (which I already have) I finally got a response that they will ship everything to me “today”. But I told them we’ll see about that lol. Such a sketchy place!

    I totally understand! You definitely need something prompt and reliable right now, and regular retail has clear expectations and processes!

    And make sure they give you a tracking number Smiley winking
