Boumadi Men's Clothier & Tailoring — Local services in Montville Township

Wedding planning and ironing out the nitty gritty details of a wedding can be stressful. By far, THE MOST stressful process of the wedding planning has been the entire suit process, from start to finish.

For starters, here is the stressful timeline in place. My fiancee and I went into Boumadi initially in early April, to confirm the color scheme of both my suit and the groomsmen's suits. During this interaction, my fiancee inquired about sizing of the suits, as well as the color scheme of the suits. Sami Boumadi displayed a supercilious attitude towards my fiancee as she began answering questions about the required color scheme of all of the suits.

Sami Boumadi measured several of my groomsmen and I in late April. Upon measurements being complete, Sami requested that we pay him, and we paid a grand total of approximately $1,300; shortly thereafter, five more of my groomsmen were measured and paid a grand total of approximately $1700. So, a total of approximately $3,000 was fronted to Sami.

Fast forward to June, Sami contacts me and indicates that the suits will be delayed due to a Covid-based shortage of raw material. Okay, that's all fine and dandy, it happens.

Well, fast forward to July and August, when the time comes for us to pick up our suits, and this is when the plot thickens. All of the groomsmen and myself included, picked up suits that were FAR TOO LARGE and that needed substantial alterations. In fact, the alterations needed were so substantial, I wondered what was the reasoning behind even taking our measurements. Additionally, the required alterations and downsizing for my suit was so drastic, Boumadi reordered another suit for me.

In the most absurd instance, Sami attempted to charge one of my groomsmen $250 for alterations. My groomsman disagreed with the price, and Sami quickly changed the price to $50. Why change the price so quickly? Strange, isn't it?

In another instance, Sami Boumadi gave one of my groomsmen's suits to the wrong groomsman. However, prior to figuring this out, Sami was adamant that my groomsman had already picked up his suit, when clearly, this wasn't the case.

I will give credit where credit is due: Sami Boumadi did do a good job of tailoring my sport coat, however, that's really the only good experience in this business-to-consumer relationship.

I've been told that Vera's Ladies Apparel, which is in an attached storefront to Boumadi Men's Clothier & Tailoring, has superb customer service skills and the staff is excellent when it comes to delivering the final product to consumers in a timely manner. This is the total opposite of Sami Boumadi's customer service skills.

Additionally, when numerous consumers pay for multiple orders well ahead of time, they should receive the orders in a timely manner. In the event that their orders don't get fulfilled in a timely manner, there must be a way to accomodate the customer for the business's failure in providing services to a consumer on time.
