Cort Putnam Furniture Rental

Dont ever rent furniture from CORT unless you absolutely have no other alternative. Granted their furniture are of good quality, but this company is all about extra charges. They cater to a very limited market and take all kinds of undue advantage because of lack of competition. Even if you have to live on a minimal comfort, avoid this company. You will regret the experience.
If you have no alternative, remember the following:
1. Dont provide credit card details to CORT for them to charge. They will invariably charge much more and then bill you for all sort of extraneous charges. Much safer to pay them by checks.
2. Read the terms of the rental contract. The employees will often make new rules or interpret them to your detriment.
3. The sales people have absolutely no authority. They are there to bill you and nothing else.
4. A very high rate of employee turn over. Chances are that, the staff you will deal in the beginning will have left the company by the time you are ready to return the furniture.
5. Keep all records of your correspondence with the company. They will deny everything.
6. Most of all, when you receive any invoices, double and triple check them. Chances are, they will include miscellaneous or even extra charges.

AVOID. DO NOT do business with this company. It’s short term rental, so they know people need flexibility and ensure not to give it. Their business model is turn over the furniture while keeping customers in max leases to make more profit but keep billing. «Screw the consumer» is their policy. I’m sure it is very profiable. When people feel they have no choice because they need a «bed», Cort is ready to take advantage! Bed and a dresser was over $ 150/​month. (more since that isn’t even their minimum), so expect to essentially buy a king mattress and boxspring from them with every rental. Billing staff is unprofessional, very junior, and lacks any authority so don’t waste your time. Buy a bed instead and sleep on a blow up mattress for a week while you wait for it. It will save you $ 500+ including the mattress cost!
