I was never contacted after filing a complaint. I've been a long-time customer of Aarons in Bridgeport, WV, and throughout my life, they always offered a "6 months same-as-cash" policy for purchases over a certain amount. It wasn’t part of any special promotion; it was just their standard practice.
This is my first time dealing with the Steubenville, OH location, and it’s likely my last. It seems like their goal is for customers to struggle to pay off their balances within four months, as that increases their profit.

God knows if it'll be delivered anytime soon. I'm quite upset that I'm paying on something i can't even use. Let alone haven't even seen yet. I'm not sure i can recommend it. Once i pay these off, I will not use this place again. I'll tell everyone I know and followers, go someplace else. I rented a truck to pick up my fridge and tv since it was 2 weeks out...
