I came across an ad for Ricks Mattress Outlet on Craigs List. When I called to inquire about his ad on mattresses, I got his machine. I later called back and spoke with Rick. I was calling on an ad for a $129 queen pillowtop mattress. I set an appointment with him.
His claim, in addition to the pillowtop, is that "he can beat any price out there".
When I showed up I was greeted by Rick who proceeded to show me the bed. It wasnt at all what I had invisioned which was fine. I started examining his other beds, he didnt have any of the mattress sets that I previously had researched before coming to his place and couldnt offer me is advertised 10% off deal that he boasts about on Craigs List.
His mattress line up was very generic and definitely did not validate his advertising claims. Needless to say I left disapointed and ultimately found what I was looking for at one of his competitors.
Rick is a very nice man but when advertising on the internet or anywhere for that matter, your message must be consistent with what you can offer. His ads are very misleading to what merchandise he can provide (at 10% off).
I unfortunately found out that this trip out to Bethlehem this day was a big waste of time. My advice, shop around before heading to Ricks Mattress Outlet.
