CallForMe calls dry cleaners, several at once if you like, and asks the price per item, the turnaround and the rush fee, whether they can treat a stain, and whether they do alterations. Each answered call costs $1. **Say to your agent:** "Call 3 dry cleaners near 75024 and ask the price to dry clean a two-piece wool suit and a silk blouse, how soon they can have them ready, and what same-day service costs." Dry cleaning prices depend on the item, the fabric and how fast you need it, and most cleaners only quote by phone or at the counter. Your agent can ask several the same question and come back with a price and a ready date from each. Google's Ask for Me in Search makes this kind of call as well; CallForMe does it from the agent you already use. ## Paste this into your agent > Call 3 dry cleaners near 75024 and ask the price to dry clean a two-piece wool suit and a silk blouse, how soon they can have them ready, and what same-day service costs. Other dry cleaner calls: - "Ask the dry cleaner on Main Street if my order is ready. Ticket 4471, under Sam Ortiz. Ask until what time they're open today." - "Ask if they can hem a pair of dress pants by Friday and what it costs." - "Call 3 cleaners near me and ask if they clean down comforters, the price for a queen, and how long it takes." ## What the cleaner will ask `plan_call` flags the exact item when the goal doesn't name one, so "get dry cleaning prices" comes back asking what you're bringing. Cleaners usually ask: - What the items are, and the fabric (wool, silk, leather, down). - Any stains, what caused them and how old they are. - When you need them back. - For alterations: what needs changing, and whether you can come in for a fitting. - For a pickup check: the ticket number and the name on the order. ## Questions worth asking - Price per item, and is there a minimum? - Regular turnaround, and is there same-day or rush service, and what does it cost? - Can you treat this stain, and is it guaranteed? - Do you do alterations in house, and how long do they take? - Do you offer pickup and delivery? ## How call_around works for dry cleaners `query: "dry cleaner"` with `near` set to where you'll drop off. Add `queries: ["tailor"]` when it's mostly alterations. Three to five places is usually enough to see the range of prices and turnaround times. ## What it costs $1 per cleaner that answers, including the first 2 minutes. Four cleaners, three answer: $3. Calls that ring out are free. ## Related - [Get quotes from several businesses](/guides/quotes-from-several-businesses) - [Ask if an order is ready for pickup](/use-cases/order-ready-pickup) - [Google Ask for Me vs CallForMe](/compare/google-ask-for-me) - [All business types](/call) ## FAQ ### Can it ask whether a stain will come out? It can ask, and most cleaners will say whether they can try and whether they guarantee it. Tell your agent the fabric and what the stain is (red wine, oil, ink) and how old it is. The cleaner will usually want to see it before promising anything. ### Can it check whether my order is ready? Yes. Put the ticket number and the name on the order in details, and ask whether it's ready and until what time they're open. ### Do dry cleaners do alterations? Many do hemming and simple alterations, often with a tailor on site or on certain days. Ask the price for the specific job and how long it takes, since alterations usually take longer than cleaning. ## Related - [Changelog: what's new, newest first](https://callforme.tel/docs/changelog.md) - [Compare prices across stores with AI phone calls](https://callforme.tel/use-cases/price-check.md) - [Have AI call bakeries about a custom cake](https://callforme.tel/call/bakeries.md) - [Have AI call house cleaners: rescheduling, move-out cleans](https://callforme.tel/call/house-cleaners.md) - [Have AI call print shops: quotes, rush jobs, one-offs](https://callforme.tel/call/print-shops.md)
