10 Reviews for La Post Cleaners
I just picked up what I could have sworn would have been $200+ worth of dry cleaning for only $89!! It's sad but my wardrobe might be the most expensive thing I own so I'm paranoid as hell when it comes to dropping off a $400 dress at a shitty dry cleaner.
Anyhow, I think I just fell in love with a dry cleaner!
They accept Mastercard and Visa and are open until 6:30pm. Thank you, Yelp!

I finally decided to go here after reading the lots of bad reviews for other places. I have been terrified to take my 2 Burberry trench coats to any dry cleaner because they were bigger splurges and not easily replaceable with my current finances. Anyway, I went in, took a moment to go over my concerns about each garment, and the male associate seemed pretty understanding. I picked up my things a few days later and the coats looked great! They also got some grease stains out of a down jacket and hemmed and cleaned a knit skirt with excellent results. For all that, I spent $35. I think that is a bargain right? They are my dry cleaners from now on!
I love patronizing quality mom and pop shops, and this is definitely one of them. Run by a nice Chinese couple, the clothes were always clean, intact and ready by the date promised. I comment on the "intact" state because elsewhere, I once had a dry cleaning horror story where ALL the hand-beaded sequins on an expensive top FELL OFF.
I once left a jacket here for 2 months, and it was still there when I finally remembered (where is my black zip-up? The last time I saw it was at the dry-- oh sh*t). It's nice to know they keep your stuff for a long time.
And, you know the prices are reasonable when visitors to your house see the dry-cleaning check on the fridge and comment on it. I cleaned two suits, two dresses, and a cashmere sweater for $35. Just wondrous, I tell ya.
I took a J.Crew blazer and a pair of Piazza Sempione pants here - both pretty standard-issue stuff, the blazer was wool with acetate lining, the pants were cotton-spandex, both dry-clean only. They managed to do a pretty shoddy job with both. The lining of my jacket appears to be disfigured and perhaps melted? I guess they used too high heat when pressing it... The pants are discolored (again, heat?) and now have not one but 3 creases down the back of one of the legs and the front creases are way off the original ones too, so now I have nice double creases down the front. The stuff was also dusted with lint (and I didn't let them sit around the shop for a month or anything) but that's really minor compared to the fact that they ruined my clothes.
I'm really disappointed after all these good reviews. I had high hopes, but instead I just ended up with hundreds of dollars worth of clothing mangled by $9 worth of dry cleaning.
I decided to give this place a try 'cause it got some stars on yelp.
The couple who run it are really nice.
I was thinking I was gonna get ripped off cause all my life, drycleaners have always been ripping off women.
Well, they did a fantastic job cleaning my clothes and altering a skirt and jeans that were too long for me. She even added on a belt loop.
I gave them a big pile of clothes to clean and repair and the bill came to $44.
Good deal and well done.
I'll be going back again.
For the first time in my life, I'm not afraid to dry-clean.

If you live around this area and are looking for dry cleaners, try this place! The husband and wife here are so nice and polite. I swear the music they play is what my dad listens to (some kind of chinese oldies, or something). No dry cleaner horror stories here, the place is very clean and neat, and they seem very organized and would never lose your clothes. Around $10 for dry cleaning coats, $3 for fixing the entire waistband of my slacks that had come out, i think it's $5 for dry cleaning pants. $10 for hemming, and she'll ask you what thread color you want for the bottom if she doesn't have thread color that matches the stitching on the seams. There's a place jst block over on Geary that does hemming for $6 and they can also keep the original bottom portion of the jeans for $2 extra..so maybe go there if you want cheap hemming. The place is nice, friendly, they don't rip you off and they'll tell you if you should just wash something yourself rather than dry clean it. The wife fixed all the buttons on my coat (heavy brass buttons that have a history of falling off) and the buttons are still on there from a year ago!

They did a great job...everything came out perfectly and the price was fantastic: for two pairs of pants, two sweaters and a full length cashmere/wool overcoat, my bill was less than $30.
I'm so glad I live 2 seconds from this place! Very efficient, affordable, and helpful. All my suits are impeccable after I pick them up. I once had fancy jeans I took to them, and the lady advised me to handwash them since they had a material that could get damaged if drycleaned. I am forever thankful!

The husband and wife that own this shop are delightful, friendly and do a great job on my clothes. I have never had an issue with them not getting my stuff really clean, with just the right amount of starch and keeping the fabric looking brand new.
Additional pluses: I use them as my second closet, and they know it. I usually pick up and drop off shirts 30 at a time and they sit there for a few weeks :-)
Second..I have gone in and asked some insane things, like "can you sew feathers all around this sportcoat for me?" Oh, and I need it in three hours"...and they did (see photo)
highly recommend them.

i only know the wife but she rocks Shatangiland. She's replaced buttons, relaces coat lining and told me the truth about when to dryclean. Now 4 blocks (uphill) out of the way but well worth it.
Shatangi told you
