Sears refrigerator

Don't ever buy another product from Sears. Especially an appliance, because they don't stand behind their products. I have a Kenmore bottom freezer refrigerator that I bought in 2011, not cheap either. Since then, the compressor has gone on it three times. It's just 6 years old. I told them I wanted the refrigerator replaced because obviously there is a problem. They said because it's out of manufacturer warranty and because I don't pay $40.00 a month for their service plan that it would only be fixed at my own expense for service call, parts and labor. And they certainly wouldn't replace it either. But they could offer me a discount off a new fridge are you [censor] kidding me? Why would I buy another product from you? Obviously there is some sort of ongoing problem and even the service guy that replaced it last time said there was an issue, I wasn't the only one. Why did they not do a recall? So, when they said they wouldn't replace it, I said well then you should fix it at no charge to me. Nope, he just repeated again the same bs, full charge to me. I am done with Sears and their products! No wonder they are doing poorly and are on their way out of business. Poor customer service and not standing behind what they sell. Bye, bye Sears. I'll give my business to a company who is more deserving of it.

Sears four month old refrigerator not working.

Purchased a new refrigerator four months ago for my vacation rental. It is no longer working. After a placing service call, it will be three weeks before anyone can be onsite to determine the problem.

After repeated calls to service rep. And their supervisor, unable to move service appointment. They don't consider this an emergency not having a refreigerator. This is on the island of hawaii. They won't bring another service technican in from another island, since it is not their direct service personnel. This is a business partner.

Sears women's simply styled pants

Hi This is the third pair of pants that I purchased at the Sears store in Stroudsburg PA (Stroud Mall). My daughter loves the feel and the fit of these pants, HOVERER, there seems to be a consistent problem with them. The information that I was able to locate on the inside tag of the pants are as follows: Simply Styled Women's Pants, [protected] RN 15099. This information was taken from just one of the three pairs bought there. The only difference is the color..They are all the exact same pant except for the color. The zipper of the first pair we purchased broke in just a few days! The pants fit perfectly, they were not tight at all. We thought it was just a bad zipper and paid an additional $12.00 to have a new zipper put in which is operating just perfectly. Then the second pair of these pants had the same exact problem. My daughter really couldn't find any pants that fit her so well and were as comfortable, so once again, we paid a taylor an additional $12.00 to install a new zipper..Those pants are also still in good condition. Lastly, the third pair, unfortunately, suffered the same fate! I am pretty upset that I have to keep spending money on new zippers! They are obviously bad zippers since the zippers installed by my taylor are working just fine. I refuse to keep having to pay for new zippers that cost about 3/4 of the price of the pants! I am not certain exactly how much I paid for these pants but I am almost certain they were approximately $19.99 per pair. I have already spent an additional $24.00 on two pairs and will have to spend another $12.00 bringing the total expense on me to an additional $36.00! I have been a Sears customer my entire life and so was my mother before me! My 5 siblings and I grew up wearing Sears and K-Mart clothing! I have a Sear's Mastercard and make many purchase's for appliances, clothing, jewelry, etc from Sears online and in store. I am a very loyal consumer and I feel that I should receive some form of reimbursement for all of my time, stress and monetary expense. The worst part of this is that my daughter LOVES these pants but I will not be able to get them for her any longer due to the faulty zipper problem! It literally took us shopping at at least 10 different stores before she found "her perfect pant". They didn't turn out to be perfect after all...so sad! Please contact me regarding this problem as soon as possible. I definitely feel as though something should be done to rectify this situation as much as is possible financially. Also, maybe you can fix the problem of the faulty zipper so that people can continue to purchase these fit great, feel great pants...Sincerely, Lorraine T Marcogliese [protected]@yahoo.com [protected] Buckle Boot Road Henryville, PA 18332

Sears craftsman weed eater

I bought a craftsman weedeater from sears in Beckley wv crossroads mall. I paid $130. Took it home and put the proper gas it takes to get started and it would not start. So I took it back to sears to get a refund. They would not give me a refund. They offered to exchange it but I only had it 3 days. Didn't want the hassle of going back and forth because we live about an hour away. The manager refuse to give me a refund. I did not even get to use it one time and can't get a refund. That's alot of money for someone on a fixed income! very upset with sears and I've went to sears for years. But not anymore!

Sears auto center

Serious Complaint:
My husband and I brought our tires with insurance from Sears around November 2016. We notice a flat tire and called Sears on 07-01-17. Even though, there were 5 people ahead of us, he was told to bring the car in. We took the car in to get the flat fixed, as well as, an oil change to 6501 W. 95th St. Chicago IL Ridge Mall 6630 and thought Sears Auto Center fixed the flat, but the next day Sunday, the tire was flat again, as if only air was put in the tire. This is the second flat with these Sears brought tires. We wasted time and gas taking the flat issue to Sears Auto Center. I'm so very disappointed in this Sears Automotive Location. First, we had to wait 4 hours and we did it patiently (time in 12:32 pm, out 4:13 pm order# 112037, by 652479, Ref# IN6112037) to later find that they did not even fix the flat. Second, the tire flat was not noted on the paper work, by the customer service tech. Worst of all, the customer service tech, put the incorrect name on the paper work, she put my daughters name and address instead of mines. This means that the real issue was ignored and the only focus was the oil change. This being the around the holiday, we were trying to get this taken care of. This shows very bad customer services for this location 6501 W. 95th St. Chicago IL Ridge Mall 6630. My daughter told me Sears automotive had very bad service, but I did not listen. I witness first hand and ignored, trying to give the benefit of the doubt, when another customer was told she had an appointment, but it was not put in the system. I’m very upset, because I trusted Sears to fix the issue after I made a $800 purchase buying their tires and insurance on my Sears account.

Very Disappointed Sears Customers,
Dominique F/ George Hudson

Sears charging me for 2 accounts and they can only tell me that they have my account #fdfb8242

I leased at K-Mart a couple of years ago. I received a card Lease It, that stated I was pre approved for 1000.00. At K-Mart I was advised of the amount to pay, when to pay and for how long. At sears the girl never mentioned anything about returning or by out. I called why not lease it, spoke to some girl for 15 min, asked for her supervisor 5 min later Manuel spoke to me. Said I only have one account and I could buy out for 260.00. I have already paid 1300 for a 500 item. Twice my bank gave me temp credit for both. Then they are back again taking double payments again.
I would like credit for the account I don't have, and resolved as to the other account as paid in full. My credit is ruined. My checking account was overdrawn 296.00 because of it. My client (my daughter)recently passed away and I have not found new employment.
Sears claims they have no affiliation with them. I stopped payment on 5-21-17. charged back

Sears can not get the rebate

I purchased a HVAC system from Sears on May, 2. The sales person first gave me price that was about three thousand higher then we got from another company. To “ match the price”, he spent some time on the computer and “reduced the price” . We had to pay before- reduction- amount that was 10, 021 dollars. The reduction consisted of two parts: 1. rebate from the manufacture in the amount of 750 dollars ; 2. Contract reduction : 501 dol. The system was installed on May, 4.
We waited, as we told, four weeks. After that, we wrote a email to the Sales person to ask about rebate and reduction. By that time, he Had not submitted any papers.
He thanked us of had reminded him. Time passed, but nothing changed. After 4 or five calls, we got a refund in the amount of 501 dollars., but we did not get a rebate.
For four weeks, we have been emailing each other. In the beginning, he said that the Carrie rep had said “the rebate process” will run smoothly.”
I started realizing that something went wrong, therefore called Customer Service many times. Finally, only through the Customer Service, I got in touch with the sales manager. He told me that he would find out why the rebate had not gone through and call me back. But he never did.
This morning, I got a email from the sales person. I am quoting: “I re-entered the numbers, and each time it stated "rebate not eligible". Even had my manager look at it and we all agreed, it's time to call Carrier. We have no influence on this process or system. Very sorry. I hope Carrier can sort this out. Thank you. Have a good day.”

I will skip all the details of our emails where he started saying that the rebate was not Sears problem, it was Carrier problem. I have been completely disagree. Since when you got a price from a seller and then he doesn't provide you with rebate he promised.?

Today, I talked with a Customer Solution rep, he tried to help, but then he transferred me to the store again, but to “parts department” and said they would help from here. Since it was a wrong department, I was transferred again, that time to main office. The connection was terrible. I asked the person from the main office the name, but did not catch. I could hardly hear him, he could hardly hear me. When it came to models numbers, I could not understand him at all, . and asked him if I call again or if he could call me . He asked my phone number and said “yes”. After that, he did not call.

I will not describe how frustrated I am, how disappointed in ex-reputable Sears..
I am hoping that there are still people there that can do justice. Please help me to get my money back.

The Sales person's name is Jesse Travis
The Sales manager is Paul Hofmeister
The store phone is [protected]
Respectfully,
Olga Baykova

Sears negligence in service - gas leak

To whom it may concern,

We purchased a Samsung washer and dryer from the Sears Outlet in Hazelwood, MO on June 17. This is the first time we come to the store and we thought we were going to get great value for our purchase.

We received our appliances on June 26 and the service was disappointing, to say the least. Let me explain:

• Dryer: The XOP Logistics delivery guys did not know how to manage the gas line. They did not install the dryer saying that the gas line couldn’t connect to the dryer. However, they left the gas line open, so we had a gas leak. I had to call Laclede Gas and they were here in less than an hour because they treated this as an emergency. And in fact, we had a gas leak. How irresponsible of Sears and the delivery company, XPO for allowing employees to do work that they are not trained to do.

o The dryer was partially installed; besides not installing the gas connection, the package did not include the “Y” connector, the hose water or the short inlet hose.

• Washer: The package did not come with the hose guide piece; the water supply hoses were not installed and the machine was not installed or leveled.

The delivery reps said that the water supply hoses were not the correct ones. We bought those hoses at the store because we were told that we needed those specifically.

My husband came from work and he could install the water supply hoses. We tested the machine and it works. So how come those guys couldn’t do the work?

• We did not receive the instructions for any of these appliances. So, we had to search on the Internet for instructions and that is how we now realize that we have many missing pieces that were supposed to come with the appliances.

Yesterday, June 27, my husband went to the store and met with the store manager, Chuck. Chuck gave him the parts and my husband decided to install the appliances since we did not want to deal with XPO again.
My husband installed the washer and it works fine. However, the dryer makes a horrendous noise that can be heard on the 2nd floor and basement, even when the laundry room on the 1st floor is closed. The store sales rep told us that those appliances were tested before arriving at their store, and I still got a defective item.

We went to this store hoping to get a good deal on these appliances. The savings are not worth the headache that you have caused. We would have been better off paying full price and knowing that we would have received great service, including full installation, instruction manuals and all the parts that were supposed to come with the package.

I want a new, not used or refurbish, dryer, the same brand and model, but I am not going to pay full price. I don’t want to pay for delivery or installation either. I want the price that I paid to the store. I deserve that because now I cannot trust that another machine from this outlet will be in working conditions.

I do plan to report this incident because you have put my family’s life at risk, and I still got a defective item.

Sears ge range

I purchased a new (Undamaged) ge range on may 27, 2017 at your sears outlet store in marietta, ga but it was damaged upon delivery. I pointed out the damage upon delivery but the delivery person commented it was damaged at the store and showed me a yellow copy of the transaction with the damaged marked. I guess he forgot that we had the original white copy that, of course, showed no damage because there was none in the store. I find this to be unethical and fraudulent. We called the store to explain and were told we could either replace the range or receive $250 for the damage. Since the $250 would not cover the damage of visible scratches and a dent on the front baking door we opted to replace it. We were told that if the marietta store did not have it then they would call the supplier for a new unit. We waited and nothing. Nearly a month later while calling, leaving messages and not hearing from anyone I called customer solutions who told me that that the matter must be resolved within 30 days of purchase or there would be no replacement. They suggested I speak with the store. The same store that unethically made it look like we purchased a damaged range, will not call us back, hangs up on us and two customer service managers and essentially has ignored us hoping we will go away.

I contacted the customer solutions dept again and spoke with ed [ee # 157008]. She said I should, "bring the range back to the store and let the store handle it.” so, after waiting a month of waiting for a resolution her answer is to unhook the gas from the range (That we paid a plumber $400 to install), rent a truck and deliver men to haul a 300 lb. Range back to the store so see what happens.

I have seen bad customer service before but this is the worst customer service experience I have ever encountered. Its remarkable this store or sears for that matter is still in business. I have called the store numerous times during normal business hours and the phone just rings (No one answers), other times someone answers then hangs up before you can speak. I have left numerous messages and none have been returned.

I understand that sears outlet is independent but as long as it uses the sears name, sears stores will suffer and its goodwill will diminish.

Sears kenmore refrigerator

There is a very foul smell coming from my fridge. We have taken everything out of the fridge and freezer. We have removed the drip tray and cleaned it, we vaccumed the dust from the front and back. Still, there is a very nasty smell present. This fridge is only a couple of years old. I really need to speak with someone regarding this matter.

Sears car service

This is my second car that I was taking to Sears Auto Center for repairs and upkeep. I feel like the staff was belligerent and unprofessional. They were more busy trying to sell things that I wasn't sure my car needed than trying to make me feel safe and happy. It is difficult to get service for something you are not that knowledgeable about and it is even more disrespectful that a company like Sears would hire such irresponsible people. The mechanic was kind and helpful. He explained and showed me the issues I had to know about. One of my six rear lights was out and he replaced it and they charged me $30.00 for this and never fixed what I came in about. They were rude and short and unprofessional. I tried to pay the $30.00 bill with my aged Sears card, was refused for some stupid reason like I hadn't sent a payment in. Of which I did but had incurred a $1.00 interest which is the real reason my card was refused by the ignorant staffer at the auto center telling me he was doing me a favor. I called Sears when I got home. Cancelled my card, wrote a blog about my experience with this center and wrote this complaint as well. DO NOT GO THERE! Especially if you are a woman, they treat you badly and talk to you like a child. After all the money I spent there and the business I sent them I expected better treatment but then I have noticed that in the last 12 months the staff has changed considerably. POOR QUALITY SEARS. What happened? You used to be a name people could trust and count on. I have taken my business to a more respectful and trustworthy garage. Forget you SEARS!

Sears online order

I have just had a terrible experience with a Sears online purchase of a bandsaw. Everything that could have possibly gone wrong has gone wrong with this order.

$300 had been removed from my account, without any thing to show for it. No one was able to help. I wasted countless hours calling technical support. I wasted countless hours repeating myself and having my issue escalated. This is not a simple mistake, this was $300 of my own money removed from me. That is robbery, plain and simple. No one was able to help.

At the time of this writing, the issue has not been solved, and Sears has stolen $300 from me.

I was attempting to purchase a bandsaw online. The item subtotals did not add up correctly on the checkout page, so I chatted with support. The support assistant told me that there was a pricing error. He told me to order the item, and then contact support again with the order number to get a refund for the price discrepancy.

I had $300 in gift cards which I was saving for this express purchase, so I used them. I had used my credit card to pay for the remainder. I got an order number and a confirmation page.

I contacted the support chat again (INT-sv1appis11-[protected]) with my order number to get my partial refund. The person I chatted with was not able to locate my order. Eventually, she came to the conclusion that the order must not have gone through due to some glitch. She suggested to place the order again with her.

I chatted with her to place the order and after some time we were ready to place the order. At this time there was one more error. The mobility base which was originally ordered was now unable to be ordered. I conceded the addition of the mobility base, and went ahead with the order. When the payment information was requested, I discovered that the gift cards were empty. I was told to call customer support. This was after about 2 hours of chatting.

I called support and told the guy my story. Any who, after some time, I was finally transferred to the gift card support line. The gift card support line was closed.

I called back to support, and spoke to Ana. I spent quite some time on the line with her. I explained my problem, and she told me she would call support the next day and call me back at 5:30 PM.

She calls me back at 4:30 PM, I am at work and cannot speak, so I ask her to call back in an hour (our agreed upon time). She does not call back.

I call support at around 6:00 PM. And speak with someone. Deja Vu, Gift Card line is closed. I express my frustration, and explain that this is the very reason I was supposed to get a call back. She tells me that there is nothing she can do. I say that I do not want to go through this again the next day. She tells me she will transfer me to her manager.

The phone rings for a couple of minutes. No one answers. I call support back. Then some time later I get a call from James.

I speak to James for some time, I get about as far with him as anyone else, and then he escalates it to a Case Manager.

I speak to a Case Manager, "RJ", I think these are not real names. She is as helpful as anyone else I speak with. She lets me know that she can't help. I tell her that all I want is for someone to take ownership of this problem, so I don't have to keep calling back and re-explaining my problem. She says unfortunatetly she can't take any notes about this issue. She gets increasingly hostile. I am calm throughout this conversation.

At this point I am waiting for a call back. I am planning on calling my CC company and Paypal.

If it were not for the $300 that was taken hostage by Sears, I would not be bothering with support. I have wasted 8 hours so far. It is not worth it. I would pay extra and go to Amazon or anywhere else. My time is not clearly not valued (they can't take notes?) All I want from support is for one person who understands the whole of my problem to handle my case, but I will have to call back tomorrow and start from zero.

Sears tire service

I actually have 2 complaints concerning my experience with Sears tire services. First, the Sears Auto website has terrible navigation to find tire prices that includes any extra fees for installation. The Sears site is selling Uniroyal Tiger Paw 215 65 17's on the Sears for $78 ea. I added 4 tires to my cart and the price was $355 and the tires were in stock. However the website would not let me enter extra options such as Lifetime Ballance. So I called our Sears store in Greenville, SC and the auto tech said I needed to come to Sears in order to get a full price. I was very frustrated because most other tire center websites are user friendly and will give total "out the door" price quotes. So I went to Sears at lunch today to get a full quote. I waited with 2 other customers (who were ahead of me) for over 15 minutes and no service tech came to help us. This experience has left me very aggravated. I want you to know that I found a competitor to price match the Sears tires with a lifetime balance warranty and with no hassle. I also want you to know that you have now lost a loyal customer. I will never buy tires at Sears again.

Sears macbook | item returned | we were given 2 sets of return instructions and now they have our mac and our $ saying they will not return to us either.

Order number: #[protected]

ON 6/2 I purchased a refurbished Mac Book from Sears.com. It was delivered to us on 6/8. We followed the return instructions that came with the Mac Laptop. The tracking number is 9505514625937163144976. It shows delivered. I am still being required to pay for it, in spite of the fact that it is returned and in spite of the fact that we were given 2 separate return instructions. Weekly Close outs says they will not honor the return because via email they said send it to their California facility BUT within the packaging that came with the Mac book, the return instructions said to only return the Macbook to the address listed above.
This is brilliant scam: We buy and return a laptop, the company keeps the laptop, Sears still make us pay for the laptop and everyone gets to blame the other company because the consumer didn’t know which return instructions to follow: The one from Sears of the ones from Weekly Close outs.

6/2/2017: I purchased a Mac refurbished laptop on Sears.com on 6/2. Order number: #[protected]
6/8/2017: I received the laptop on 6/8.
I immediately contacted Sears to advised them we wanted to return it because it does not have the
OS System we need for our Business.
>>>>> Note: In the laptop box there were instructions that said “If you are unsatisfied with this laptop for any reason, please fill out the following form and return the Laptop to: 453 Lincoln ST, Dock 4 Carlisle PA 17013 >Here is the email exchange on 6/9 from Sears to us: : “ UPDATE on your request, Shawna. Unfortunately, Weekly Closeouts has denied your return request regarding the items below because of the following reason: Not Applicable. Please contact Weekly Closeouts directly for any further questions or concerns.
Thank you for contacting us,
Your Sears Team “

We then contacted Weekly Close out on 6/9 to inquire about the return. A man named Joseph
from Quipt/ Weekly Close outs said he could assure me that they were indeed not denying my return
and then told me to send it to a different address in California NOT the address that came with the in the return instructions w/ the MacBook. He said to return it to this address: 950 Glenn Drive,
Suite 135, Folsom, CA 95630, United States
His contact information is : [protected], and his work address is 950 Glenn Drive,

Sears refurbished mac

Order number: #[protected]

I am in complete shock that we have been so blatantly scammed and stolen from Sears.
We were given 2 sets of return instructions for a Mac Laptop we purchased on 6/2. We returned it via theone of those sets of instructions provided with the laptop and now we have been told not only are we not getting a refund but also that we will not be getting our Mac Laptop back. Happy to show all documentation.

Time Line:
1) I purchased a Mac refurbished laptop on Sears.com on 6/2. Order number: #[protected]
2) I received the laptop on 6/8.
3) On 6/8 I advised Sears it does not have the OS System we need and requested to return in.
>>>>> Note: In the laptop box there were instructions that said “If you are unsatisfied with this laptop for any reason, please fill out the following form and return the Laptop to: 453 Lincoln ST, Dock 4 Carlisle PA 17013 here is my email to him>>>> Here is his email to me
***Joseph Friedrich, Jun 9 (10 days ago)

to me, Weeklycloseouts, e2a9yf_16q8hfd.
Hi Shawna,

I can assure you your return has been authorized. The request in Sears portal was canceled as you were instead directly provided return instructions.

6 ) So ultimately we were given 2 sets of return instructions :
The 1st: by Sears to this address: 453 Lincoln ST, Dock 4 Carlisle PA 17013
( WE SHIPPED TO THIS ADDRESS AND HERE IS THE TRACKING number confirming the delivery : 9505514625937163144976, Sears customer Service confirmed on the phone that this address is indeed one of Weekly Close Outs locations )

The 2nd : by Quipt/ Weekly close outs : To this address:
950 Glenn Drive
Suite 135
Folsom, CA 95630

7) So, We requested to return it to the address that came with the MAC. Sears is now saying tough luck, Call weekly Close outs:
Weekly Close outs is say: Tough luck call sears ;
Then when I call sears they send me right back Weekly Close outs who says they cannot help me and then tells me to call Sears.

We have been completely scammed. We have returned the Mac with proof of delivery, but Sears will not refund us and weekly close out says they cannot help us.
We have no Mac Laptop, and we still are being required to pay for the Mac.
I have endured hours of online Sears chat support only to tell me to call customer Service.
We call customer service, and had to endure a very unhappy CSR. I finally got to a lead on the customer service line and she assured me a ticket would be put in and this would be resolved.
She did put a ticket in and they resolved it by saying they would not help us because we shipped it to the wrong address. No one will own they sent us 2 addresses: Both by the way are for the same company “Weekly Closeouts.”

This is a brilliant scam: Sears gets to bill you monthly on product you don’t have and weekly close out gets to be paid for a product they get to keep.

Order number: #[protected]

I am in shock that we have been completely scammed by weekly close outs and Sears.

ON 6/2 I purchased a refurbished Mac Book from Sears.com. It was delivered to us on 6/8. We followed the return instructions that came with the Mac Laptop. The tracking number is 9505514625937163144976. It shows delivered. I am still being required to pay for it, in spite of the fact that we were given 2 separate return instructions. Weekly Close outs says they will not honor the return because via email they said send it to their California facility BUT within the packaging that came with the Mac book, the return instructions said to only return the Macbook to the address listed above.
This is brilliant scam: We buy and return a laptop, the company keeps the laptop, Sears still make us pay for the laptop and everyone gets to blame the other company because the consumer didn’t know which return instructions to follow: The one from Sears of the ones from Weekly Close outs.

6/2/2017: I purchased a Mac refurbished laptop on Sears.com on 6/2. Order number: #[protected]
6/8/2017: I received the laptop on 6/8.
I immediately contacted Sears to advised them we wanted to return it because it does not have the
OS System we need for our Business.
>>>>> Note: In the laptop box there were instructions that said “If you are unsatisfied with this laptop for any reason, please fill out the following form and return the Laptop to: 453 Lincoln ST, Dock 4 Carlisle PA 17013 >Here is the email exchange on 6/9 from Sears to us: : “ UPDATE on your request, Shawna. Unfortunately, Weekly Closeouts has denied your return request regarding the items below because of the following reason: Not Applicable. Please contact Weekly Closeouts directly for any further questions or concerns.
Thank you for contacting us,
Your Sears Team “

We then contacted Weekly Close out on 6/9 to inquire about the return. A man named Joseph
from Quipt/ Weekly Close outs said he could assure me that they were indeed not denying my return
and then told me to send it to a different address in California NOT the address that came with the in the return instructions w/ the MacBook. He said to return it to this address: 950 Glenn Drive,
Suite 135, Folsom, CA 95630, United States
His contact information is : [protected], and his work address is 950 Glenn Drive,
Suite 135, Folsom, California 95630

Sears sears kenmore series 500 washer

We bought a brand new kenmore washer from sears and it didn't work from the first day we bought it. A repairman came out and looked at it and said the motor was no good. it took almost a month but they did replace it finally. The second one was no better than the first, it just would not complete a single cycle no matter how hard we tried or what we did. Again, a repairman came out and tried everything to fix it and he finally said it was because we were running off solar, he said it caused the sensor to keep resetting. It didn't seem likely that could be the problem because our computers all work fine our television works fine and every other appliance works fine, but there was nothing to do to convince him he was wrong. So we called the store we bought it from and she refused to take the machine back. She said the first one shouldn't have been replaced in the first place as it was set up outside. and she would not honor the next one. It had never been outside. She made it look like we were only trying to take advantage of her nice nature and absolutely would not give us our money back. The washer had not had even one load completely washed in it. THe first one hadn't either.
So we are out the money for the new washer because she didn't believe we "deserved" it. We never falsified any of our claims, there was nothing in the manuals or paperwork that said anything about not running off solar. And we still believe both machines we got were defective. Since that time I have had to use my old machine and I'm just grateful that we still had it. It runs fine off the solar and has since the day we bought it. It's almost 16 years old and is getting weak but still does a better job that our "brand new" machine that is only taking up space.
I have tried every avenue to get some help, because 500 dollars is a LOT of money we don't have and we are honest people just wanting a fair deal from Sears. Their reputation used to be reliable but not anymore.
This morning I started thinking about it again and looked at the reviews on the machine again. There are so many many negative reviews I am astounded that this machine wasn't pulled a long time ago. IT seems to me if so many others had the same problems that maybe you could look into what is going on with sears. I find it sad that a company as big as sears can't or won't honor the products they sell when we spend our hard earn money and count on the integrity of others in feeling safe with a purchase. I haven't found anyone in the company other than the store we bought if from that will even return an answer to my inquiries. I also wrote a review on the machine and it was rejected for being not nice. I did say the machine was crap, I guess that constitutes foul language but it makes me wonder how many others wrote reviews that were rejected. I doubt very much if this letter will reach anyone that might help but at least I a m trying to let people know that sears is not the company it used to be.

Sears refrigerator return/refund

On My 30th I ordered a refrigerator delivered. The delivery arrived as scheduled on June 2, 2017 and then things began to go wrong. The delivery guy was dirty, sloppy and alone. His co-worker skipped work that day. It's hard to deliver a fridge by yourself. But he slammed and pushed and damaged my brand new porch stair, tore all the paint off the door jam before I could stop him. He decided THEN to remove the package to fit through the door better and that's when I saw the multiple dents an scratches on the fridge. I refused the delivery, called the 800 number to cancel and was told I would receive a refund in 7-10 days. 12 days later, I received an email telling me they'd canceled my order. Gee, I thought that's what we did on June 2. So today, 6/16 I called customer NO Service and got a woman who had limited English speaking skills. When I asked to speak to a supervisor who spoke better English, she hung up on me.
Don't order from this company now going down the tube because of terrible customer service. Don't expect a refund or anything they promise as SEARS does not deliver --either the goods or the promises. Watch your stock investments. This company is headed for the bottom. It appears no one cares about the customer.

I called to inquire and was told there was no delivery for me. I called the lease department only to find out Carlin #141 put my name in wrong. they told me to go back to the store with my ID so my name can be updated. My order had to be cancel by Sears. I was told that my money will appears on my debt card. I got a call from David #, to call the "whynotleaseit for my refund. Sears was very unprofessional in this transaction. I'm sleeping on the couch, with no bed and this wasn't my fault. my check from the "lease it" wont be here for 7-10 days. why do I have to suffer from a wrong name on my account from your workers? resolve this is for me to have my merchandise by this Saturday.

Associate Carlin #141 fail to put a delivery date on my receipt. I was told by her manager if she would have went over the receipt with me, which is in her job description, maybe just maybe we would caught the name different.

I was making a complaint to a Sears Associate Anna #110503, we talked for 10 minutes I gave her all the information for the Sears store including the number, who I was having the complaint against. she refuse to give me her supervisor name and number. I don't think she put my complaint in. She wasn't hearing what I was saying. She return 3 times to the phone with the same answer. This was after I told her I gave Carlin #141 my ID and my name. Carlin #141 gave the lease company the wrong name. Anna #110503 was blaming the incident on the "lease it program" when it was clearly the associate at store 01710 in North Olmsted name Carlin #141 got this order wrong. Carlin #141 to me she didn't know what she was doing. Carlin is incompetent. This store owes me $200. They cancel my order without my consent and now they refuse to work with me to resolve this issues. To resolve this is to refund me all my money. thank you Sears

I purchased a treadmill on Saturday, June 17th, I also purchased the 3 year warranty and with the warranty the Sears would also put it together for me, so I also explained to the salesclerk that the people who were picking up the treadmill had to pick it up by Wednesday because they were going out of town after that, and they were doing this as a big favor for me. The salesperson said there would be no problem, especially since I had also purchased the warranty. Well, it is Wednesday and Sears just told me they have not even started on my treadmill because I had not set up payments, and they could not put it together until I set those payments up. The problem is I paid cash for the purchase, there is no payment to set up, everything is paid for.
Now my friends are leaving town and I have no way to pick up the treadmill because the employees at Sears seem to be so confused. I agree, now I know why they are going out of business.

I arranged for a technician to come to my home to fix my clothes washer. I took the day off of work. I stayed home ALL day waiting. Finally, at 5:00 I called to find out ETA. I was told that the tech had left my home because I was not there. What? I waited 10 hours for the guy. Home repair services suggested I take a second day off of work and pay all but 20% of the $89.00 fee for my trouble. Really? I will not use Sears again for repairs. Now I know why they are going out of business.
