Sears
reviews and complaints

Sears has just introduced a new maternity line that does not carry plus size maternity. Their previous line of maternity clothing extended to 3x. So, as America gets larger and larger, Sears decides that they will not service this population of women. There are SO FEW places that offer plus size maternity - only JC Penney and Motherhood Plus are the only national retailers I know that carry up to 3x maternity.

I asked Sears customer service repeatedly for their maternity buyer to contact me directly and received a boiler plate canned response in return each time.

Sears, shame on you!

I am writing to tell you about the worst experience I have ever had with any business. On May 2, 2008, My boyfriend and I bought a washer and dryer from your Sears outlet in Melrose Park, IL. We set up the delivery for 5/25/2008. On the 25th, the delivery came as scheduled, however when the installer hooked up the washer, it was leaking water everywhere! Instead of taking it back right away when he was there, he told us we had to go all the way to the store and settle the issue there. We went back to the store and spoke to Juan the supervisor who said that he would give us a new washer and this time it would be tested. I understand that the outlet store products are not brand new but you don't test them to make sure they work before giving them to a paying customer?!

Juan then said that the earliest they could bring the new washer and take the old washer would be on wednesday the 28th. We explained that we would not be home during the day and he said that he would put in a request for evening delivery, since a working washer should have been there the 25th.

On the 28th, I received a call from the delivery men at 9am stating they were in front of my house! I called the delivery company in which you work with and explained that it was an evening delivery and Laura said that there was no such thing as an evening delivery and that they delivery company tells me when they wanna come! Well, I believe that if I buy a product from you and you give me one that doesn't work than I should be accomodated a little better. Laura was very unhelpful and rude. I asked what the point was of having an evening request if no one was going to honor it. Needless to say, I did not get my washer that day. After this horrible experience, we went back to the store to get out money back because we no longer wanted anything from Sears. The extremely incompetant worker at the store said there would be no refund without the washer and dryer and they did not know when they could come and get it! So I couldn't get my money back without giving the products back, but no one could come get the products! That was the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. Since we really did not have a choice, my boyfriend and I decided to reschedule the delivery considering we had no way to wash our clothes. We set up the delivery for Saturday the 31st.

At 5:30 pm on the 31st, there was still no washer or delivery men! I called the delivery company, who transfered me to someone in Arizona, that said "Oh Ya, Im sorry. The delivery isn't coming today". Not one person called to tell me that the delivery wasn't coming that day. Here we are waiting all day for our washer and its not coming but no one felt the need to inform us that they would not be giving us the washer that we paid for. When I asked why it was not going to be delivered, the person I was speaking with(Jennifer) told me that she had no idea why and had no way of finding out why your store was not delivering my product! I am really glad that the people that take care of customer service have no idea how to tell a customer why she is not getting the washer that has already been paid for. When I told her that I would just go to the store and get the washer, Jennifer stated that she did not know where my washer was and there was no one there who could find out. At this point I was livid and extremely upset. How can a company take you rmoney for a product and then refuse to give it to you?! Not only refuse to give it to you but not tell you why?

A short while later, Jennifer called me back to tell me that the reason I was not getting my washer was because someone overseas had screwed up. She then explained that the earliest delivery date was June 3rd, which was a tues. I was going to be at work that tues, so the earliest I could now have the washer delivered was june 7th! That is 18 days after buying the washer!

The next day(Sun) I called the Sears store and spoke with Barb. I told her my situation and told her I would be coming to get the washer as opposed to delivery. She checked with the warehouse and told me that the washer was there and I could pick it up. My boyfriend and I had to borrow a truck to go and pick it up. When we arrived at the store, the washer we had picked out had a huge dent in the front that had not been there before! The nightmare continues! Barb said that we could not exchange the washer. So after waiting almost 2 weeks for a washer, we have go home with a damaged one. Honestly, By this point I didn't even care, as long as I never had to deal with Sears or there delivery company again!

A few days later, A delivery truck pulls in front of our house and is supposed to be deliverying our washer! Because we are honest people we informed the delivery men that we already had our washer. We could have been dishonest and kept the extra washer for out troubles.

I have never wrote a letter complaining of a business before but this experience was just too horrific to keep to my self. During all this trouble and inconvenience, not one person from you store offer to compensate us in any way. We spent a lot of money on this washer and dryer and feel that we should be refunded some of our money back. Plus we had to go and pick up the washer ourselves, yet we still paid for delivery fees! I have since had friend looking to go to Sears for products, but after hearing my experience, they decided to go elswhere. I want you to know that I will NEVER, EVER shop at ANY Sears for ANYTHING again! I am completely disgusted with your store and the way you do business. I will also be forwarding this letter to the Better Business Bureau if possible. I understand that your delivery service is contracted but they are still using you company name(Sears Home Delivery). I believe that either Sears or the delivery service should be more accomodating and I would like to be fairly compensated for the stress, inconvenience, and trouble that was caused.

I placed an order on their website at the end of May. I was charged a delivery of $65.00. Sears made a $1.00 run on my card to make sure it was valid then didn't hear from them. I called and was told the item was out of stock in my area. After numerous e-mails back and forth, they advised me my order was cancelled because the item was no longer available. Their website still lets me order it in my zip code Yesterday I spoke to a manager of their Lawn and Garden dept in South.Fla who assured me they had 3 of those in stock. Sears refuses to ship it to me in Atlanta. This is 2008, we do have ground shipping available in this country and as a matter of fact all over the world. Sears has no interest in Customer satisfaction.

I contracted for a kitchen remodeling job with Sears Home Improvement, 1024 Florida Central Parkway, Longwood FL 32750 and had cracked and defective cabinets installed. My wife discovered the cracks when she was cleaning them and the putty came out of the cracks of two cabinets. I called and complained to the salesman, but an obvious deception has been perpetrated here by concealing defects with putty.

I am financing $13, 000, $230 a month payments, and find that defective merchandise was installed! This is Sears - and I feel let down and cheated by this! Sear's contractors are an extension of them. These two cabinets will need to be removed, my microwave reinstalled and this will require my wife and me to be inconvenienced also.

Sears...what can one say? They seem to have good prices on their appliances and their service technicians promise nothing but the best, but what do you get? If you aren't careful, you get ripped off!

We called Sears for an estimate to repair the dishwasher purchased from them two years ago. We scheduled an appointment for Wednesday, which is the only day they come to our area. The repairman came and gave an estimate of $287 to repair the machine but informed us that the part had to be ordered. According to him, our options were: a. Choose to have the repair made. We call Sears to schedule it and the service charge for his visit that day will be deducted from the estimated price, or b. Choose to replace the dishwasher. We use the receipt and envelope he provides for $65 off a new one purchased from Sears. He said I had 2 weeks to make the decision, so I paid the $69.22 service charge.

Our research indicated that the repair option was best as the $65 could only be applied to an appliance costing much more. I scheduled the repair the next day and asked if the repairman would bring the part as it was not a part they carry in the truck. Customer service assured me he would.

The next Wednesday, two repairmen arrived...neither of whom was the person who had been here initially. They were unaware that we had already been given an estimate. They confirmed it on their computer and informed me that they did not have the part as it had not been ordered and I would have to pay for it to be shipped directly to my home. Another appointment would be scheduled for installation the next week. I inquired about the guarantee to deduct the $69.22 from the cost. They agreed this was correct but it was to be applied to the labor cost. My receipt shows that the balance owed when they returned to install the part would be $71.12. I paid $140.81 for the part.

The part arrived in the mail within a few days, but the man who came to install it was not one of the previous three. He installed the part and attempted to use his laptop computer to print the receipt, but claimed his computer had no reception in the house so he went outside to his truck to charge my Discover card and print the receipt. I followed him and signed the receipt outside.

After he left, I discovered I had paid $149.33. He had not deducted the $69.22 from the charge. I called the phone number on the receipt but was told that I had been charged correctly and nothing could be done. I asked to speak to someone else and was transferred from one person to another often being put on hold for up to 20 minutes at a time. Finally I was told that a message was left for the billing department and they would call me back.

I waited six days for that call and none came, so I called again and got the same run around. I am unsure how many calls I made because for some reason I kept getting mysteriously disconnected. I had to go back over the same questions with whomever answered each call. Eventually I was transferred to someone who seemed very understanding. She agreed that I was correct and promised a credit would be applied to my Discover card and a customer service person would call within 24 hours to tell me when the credit would appear.

After two weeks, there has been no call and no credit. I called again and asked to speak to the last person who spoke to me. The standard answer was given that they have no way of knowing who it was, despite the fact that the one "understanding" person claimed to be able to trace back all the calls I had made. (Maybe I was transferred to the "patronizing department.") I asked once again to speak to A & E Services (the people who actually do the repairs) but was told that I was already speaking to them. I asked again to be transferred to a supervisor. Instead I was put on hold for over 20 minutes. When a new voice answered, I had to go through the whole list again of my phone number, name and address and problem. This person put me on hold and eventually came back to tell me that she "tried to contact the billing department but they weren't answering their phone, so (she) left a message for them to call me." I am not holding my breath.

I looked on line for a place to direct my complaint and found that there were innumerable complaints similar to mine. One person told that he received his $69 back after filing a complaint with his state attorney general. I am following his lead.

I anticipated a pleasant day at Sears in Laguna Hills, but a rude employee threatened to call the "security" police because I had my sweet golden retriever with me.

I didn't see a "NO Pets" sign on the entry door. (She's welcome at Macy's and Nordstrums, why not.) I walked past several registers, bought my $300 vacuum and none of the employees objected. That's when one of the "Brand Central Lead" personnel began yelling at me and telling me I had to leave immediately. His voice echoed throughout the department as he bullied me with his unprofessional behaviour. Though I had no problem if Sears refused pets in their store, I wanted to explain. That's when he leaped for a phone to call police "Security."

If customers aren't treated with respect at Sears, I'm not sure I want to shop there again.

I bought a lot of hand tools from Sears based on their lifetime warranty just in case something breaks and needs replacement. Well my Craftman rachet wrench (the one with a round knob used to drive small sockets) broke the other day and I took it to the Eastland Mall in Charlotte to get a replacement. The guys at the return counter said no way since they don't make them anymore. After an escalation to the department manager named Robin Carlton, she would not give me an equivalent wrench which consists of a rachet and an extention - instead offered me a small rachet wrench which does not do me any good without the extention. I refused to buy the extention from Sears and later bought one from Husky tool instead. It's only a few dollars to buy an extension rod but the experience left a sour taste in my mouth. The lengthy wait, the take it or leave it attitude of those Sears employees add to the fact that the Sears Craftman tool lifetime warranty is basically worthless. I was going to contact the Sears Customer Relation dept to complain but after reading the horror stories about them I've decided not to waste my time. Instead I've decided not to ever buy from Sears again.

Sears is a horrible company. I worked there for a year and there is so much drama and unfairness. First they make almost everyone in the store get credit apps and warranties etc. If you don't meet their unrealistic goals of one credit app per hour, you get written up and eventually fired. They also like to fire employees without warning and for tiny little mistakes that most other companies would just talk to their workers about. The Sears I worked at, (#2278) had horrible management as well. Managers took at least 7 breaks a day to smoke or eat or whatever, while the employees often missed lunches etc. and still had to punch out for them. The managers also hire people that they are friends with, and pay them more than other workers even though they have no previous experience or skills. Bottom Line: Don't even bother applying to Sears. They will use you and never appreciate you.

I'm inspired to write this now as I sit (one year later after project began) waiting for someone to show up and once again replace a piece of my kitchen cabinets. If I were to give every detail of why NO ONE should use Sears Home Improvement, I would be wasting an entire afternoon. However, in a nutshell, the quality of the product (for what they charge) is horrible, they have contracted-out work people who basically could care less about how things should be PROPERLY installed, getting a hold of a so-called "project manager" is nearly impossible and having that "project manager" actually SEE the job being done and rectify the problems that are happening WON'T happen. And, as I mentioned, we are still experiencing pieces of our new cabinets slowly disintegrating (BY NO FAULT OF OURS, JUST POOR QUALITY PRODUCT). I hope that whoever is doing their research on possibly using Sears for a kitchen redo will read this and quickly change their minds. We immediately canceled all credit cards involved with Sears and no longer even step into a Sears retail store due to this nightmare experience.

I bought a sears kenmore front loading washing machine with a 5 year extended warranty. From the beginning, it breaks down every six to eight months. When I call the service to get it repaired, sometimes they come and sometimes they do not. When I call to complain it they don't arrive, they tell me that the technician called the house and there was no answer! I explain that I was home waiting for them and that I need to have my washing machine fixed. They try to get in contact with the supervisor of the techs and put me on hold. Then they come back and apologize and say they could not reach the supervisor, reschedule the appointment. Some of the technicians get upset if you ask them for identification, especially if they are not wearing a sears uniform. They automatically leave if they don't have their ID and you have to reschedule. Meanwhile, your machine is not working and you cannot wash your dirty clothes. Beware of sears extended warranty.

Warning! Do not purchase anything from sears! I purchased the kenmore elite stainless steel refrigerator with ice machine in sept. 2006. Within that time the ice machine had to be replaced 6 times. It basically broke every 3 months. There customer service is absolutely horrific. They give you the runaround about everything and their service people are very rude and just try to sell you things. They told me since I had so many problems with this that they were going to replace the whole thing but what I had to do was have one more service call which I did where as the service man told them that it yet again was broken and had to be replaced. Afterwards no one returned my calls as they had promised to do and I was told that their "one source" department no longer supported the sears store that I purchased my fridge from so they were closing the case. What a nightmare. I warn all consumers to avoid sears at all costs. I am also reporting them to the bbb for their terrible business practices. They should not be able to get away with ripping people off like this.

Hi,
I called michelle this morning for the third time. Voice mail again. I also sent her an email.
No responses. She called me once, sent me one email. This is typical of the service and response I have experienced with sears in this matter. My complaint is open and getting worse.
Please escalate this above michelle. I do not believe she has the ability to address my concern.
Thank you

Hi,

I have called you twice and left voice messages.

This morning I also got an email from bbb requesting that I close my complaint based on your email. Of course, I rejected that suggestion and in fact the fact that you would think that you could close my complaint just by calling and sending an email has made my dissatisfaction with sears greater.

By the way, do you know the status of my heat pump?

Best regards,
George

06/23/2008 bbb more info received from the consumer : today, june 23, at about 5 35 I heard from michelle compston via phone who told me that her senior mgt had decided that my complaint had no merits. She referred me to ms. Rachel cheek at [protected] who is a "legal case mgr" in michelle's words a paralegal. I think it reveals their attitude toward customers that they would escalate me to a lawyer - well not really even a lawyer, but paralegal.

In 2004, I purchased a Kenmore top load Washer, Dryer, and 5 year extended warranty from Sears. My washer stopped working in the 4th year that I had it and I called Sears warranty department to have it fixed. To my amazement, they did not have a warranty recorded for my washer. I explained where I purchased it and the location as well as the price - $1, 100 (total cost with 5-year warranty).

On the day that I had purchased my washer, dryer, and 5-year warranty; I also paid for the same style washer, dryer, and 5-year warranty for one of my friends. I asked her to call and see if her warranty was recorded - and hers was recorded and the warranty was to expire on September 2009. I used various phone numbers to see if any of them would pick up the warranty, but to no avail. I am at a lost. I paid for a 5 year warranty on my appliances and Sears never recorded it in their system. In addition to that, they don't even have my dryer listed as being purchased. I even asked if they see the washer and dryer being delivered by them, to my house. Nope, that wasn't in their either. However, they have the model numbers of both the washer and dryer. Obviously, the store associate, took my money for the warranty, but did not record my warranty when I made my purchase.

Ordered part for Dewalt cordless drill since the web site said it was in stock. Received an email 2 days later that it was back-ordered. Called immediately and canceled the part, customer service rep said it was canceled. Two weeks later, received another email that the part was backordered, called again to cancel and was told that they could not control their supplier and even though it was canceled, it would probably still ship and that I would have to return it (and pay for shipping). I spoke to a supervisor and she promised to cancel the order. Five days later, received another email saying that the part had been shipped.
I would not recommend using Sears Parts Direct for any reason. Their web site in not correct on the parts in stock, they do not have control of their suppliers and they are not honest in their commitments to customers.

This was the third repair call for Frigidaire refridgerator. This time, Sears repair didn't even show up. I waited all day, cancelled appointments and they never showed. Lousy customer service. After buying the expensive warrenty, what good is it?
I was scammed and ripped off .

On Feb. 27, 2008 my wife & I had a new furnace installed in our home. I'm a truck driver & on the road alot. When I got home & saw the furnace, I was quite impressed. But then I noticed where they had broken the wood molding that surrounds the outer edge. When I asked my wife if they said anything about the molding she said no. Needless to say I was upset. I called the Sears department manager & yes I was quite blunt with him. the repairs were made. Now during the furnace installation one of the installers had to go under the house, (we have a mfg. home). At some point during that time the installer indicated to my wife that our AC was low on freon. Since it was still quite cold outside we couldn't test the AC. Now that the warmer weather has set in we decided to call a certified AC company. The technician discovered that the quick disconnect lines and the seal were damaged and that we had no freon in our system at all. To have the system fixed and the AC charged it has cost us $618.00. We've lived in this home for 12 years and have never had a problem. Even last year we ran the AC without incident. Once again I called the Sears Home improvement dept and spoke to the same manager. He indicated to me that since we went to an outside source he wasn't going to do anything about it. I said to him we can do this professionally or we could do this the legal way. He again replied he couldn't do anything or should I say won't do anything. Since when does Sears dictate to customers who they call for other home work? We own this home and who we decide to call for repairs or improvements does not require the approval of Sears Home Improvement Dept managers.
Now I'm concerned how the furnace man released the freon or did he really capture the freon ? If he just released the freon into the air he violated federal law and he endangered my wife and granddaughter.

My husband and I had a truly miserable experience with Sears as well. Their prices for our new A/C system were steep compared to Lowe's and Home Depot out here in IL, but the Sears name and replacement plan prompted us to go with them. We were assured that we would be guaranteed 100% satisfaction.

Turns out that the sales rep ordered incorrect components, prompting 4 additional visits from an independent contractor hired by Sears, not Sears personnel themselves. We don't even know if these guys were licensed. Ultimately, we had to repeatedly contact the manager out here, Jay, to finally have a thermostat and its associated charges removed from our bill. Turns out we were being charged almost $500 for this thermostat, but we had no way of knowing since specific item charges and item information were blocked out our paperwork - all we knew was the general *type* of what we were getting. Numerous calls to our "project coordinator" whose job, we were told, was to ensure everything went smoothly, went unanswered.

We recently had a furnace installed with a fantastic service provider who itemized and explained everything, and could provide proof of licensing and background checks of employees.

My husband and I are pretty easy customers to deal with, overall. I will never be as naive and trusting as I was with Sears again, however, and am very thorough and detail-oriented when getting estimates, so I suppose our Sears experience was a good education, pricey "tuition" and all. Sadly, Sears' 20th-century reputation is not relevant to its 21-st century service.

Bought a grill from Sears two years ago (model #415.16220. The bottom casting has begun to warp. It is bowing out slightly at the front end of the casting. As a result of the warped bottom casting, the vaporizer tents which diffuses the flames no longer fit on the inside of the grill. The warranty states that the top and bottom castings have a lifetime warranty. After speaking to three customer service reps and getting the runaround, they are not honoring their own warranty. Their solution is to send a tech out at my expense to tell me what I already know and they say then that the part might still not be covered if they find that the grill got too hot. Amazing that they do not even honor their own warranties and just try to find excuses not to honor them.

Sears Holdings advertised a 1080, 50” Sony TV. I went to the store in Utica, Michigan and purchased the TV for just under $1, 400. I picked up the TV and went back to my office. I looked at the box and found that the TV was labelled as a 720. I returned to the store within 45 minutes and the clerks said that the ad was incorrect and would not be honoured. They would give me $100 off of the current TV if I would keep it. I told the salesman that the process was called “bait and switch” and is highly illegal. Sears only lists their part number and not the model number of the TV on the receipt. This makes it very convenient to switch products if the customer is not attentive. I asked for the store manager and she was very angry but did give me her business card. She said that Sears Holdings is not responsible for any mistakes in their ads.

The ad clearing listed the model number and specifications. The salesman stated the ad was valid and in fact sold another TV at the same time I bought mine. The couple did return to the store minutes before my return but they took the additional $100 discount.

The discounted price on the 720, 50” Sony is no real bargain.

Sears just swapped the model using their own product code.

In this manner Sears can switch the 1080 TV with a lower cost 720. If the customer does not notice, they sold the TV at market price. If the customer returns the TV some will take the $100 discount and think they received a good price.

This is just modern day bait and switch.

I returned the TV and would love to have a lawyer and the BBB pursue action against the new Sears Holding for this poor behaviour.

I wonder what Roebuck would have said about the new behaviour at Sears Holdings?

My Husband bought a CompuCarve system which is a wood carving system for $2, 000.00. We got it home, set it up and it didn't work. I bought the extra warranty coverage. Sears told me they could send someone to fix it, but the soonest they could do this was 4 weeks away, but if I wanted to bring it into a Sears repair center it would be repaired immediately. I brought it in on April 30th. I have not heard from them since. I called the number Sears gave me and when I inquired about the machine they hung up on me four different times. I called back on the 5th time and spoke to someone who told me they were having trouble getting a part. I found out the people from Sears I was talking to were not even located in Austin. I wanted to talk to the local Sears repair center and they told me they would call in an hour. They called me 5 days later. The woman from Sears couldn't tell me anything accept that I couldn't get a new machine and would have to wait to get the nonworking machine repaired. After another week and a half I went to the Sears repair center to see why I hadn't heard from them yet. I spoke with the manager of that department. He told me that it wouldn't be ready for another 2 to 3 weeks, that I should have returned it for a new machine, but it was to late for that now. I was very upset and went to look for Sears administrative offices. The only office I found was the HR office. I went in and there wasn't anyone in there. There were several offices, all of them were empty. I found a poster on the wall with a picture of the manager of that particular Sears store. There was a telephone number. I have since tried to call that number like the poster suggested, but there is no answer, and I have called around 20 times. This is a problem that has been on going for almost 2 months with no end in sight. Plus we are out $2, 000.00.
