How much do clothes cost for you to get them dry cleaned? Or washed and pressed for shirts?

Just wondering because I thought they'd be cheap and I ended up paying 4-5k per article of clothing I dropped off here in Sinchon.

Anyone know of a good/cheap dry cleaners near sinchon near the mcdonalds???

4000 is cheap. its $4. dont be cheap and pay for their work.

i pay 3.000 for my shirts. but then again, i think i get a discount, cuz i always give her all my office clothes to dry clean and my bed linens, towels, too.

ps. i hate korean washing machines that only do cold water cycles and have no hot water cycles (hence im dropping my towels off at the dry cleaner, too)

Every dry cleaner I've ever been to (or even heard of) in Korea has been 3000W per item (shirts and pants anyway).

I can't say for sure that there is a cheaper one by the McDonald's in Sinchon, but in the backstreets wherever you live, there should be.

Bit far for you, but the place at Hongdae subway station does shirts for 1,500 a pop. That price surely can't be beat.

=( yea a bit far. I was expecting prices to be around that here.

Thanks for the responses guys. Just trying to see what's out there and the going rate. Sorry if that makes me cheap. $4 a shirt (+ more for others) is a lot more expensive than what I'm used to back in America.
