Sears New admission

I saw a coupon for sears tile cleaning on facebook. The next morning i got a call and the price was almost doubled. I told the lady to let me think about it. The technician showed up unanouced and my husband told them we werent interested especially because he was in a meeting and dint want to be interrupted. The technician got out of his car and said he would beat up my husband, that afterall since we were married he should just pay the bill. (a sentence laced with f...Ing curse words btw) called the customer service deprtment and the lady said without an apology that i should just pay the cancellation fee or they wont service us anymore. I have used this service for 7 years

Desired outcome: NONE, JUST SO BUYERS BEWARE!

Sears refrigerator delivery

I purchased a gas range and refrigerator order #[protected] on 7/04/2022.It was scheduled for delivery on 07/20 /2022.I was just notified it will be rescheduled for 08/01 /2022. This creates a burden I never expected. I won't have a refrigerator for two weeks. This is very inconvenient and costly for me in these already hard times. I make cheese and the fridge is on its last leg. I have an investment in these cheese cultures which need to be kept frozen. Will you reimburse me for the spoiled cultures? please contact me for possible solutions [protected] .

Sears Part order cancelled

On 7/24/22 I ordered a door handle for my Frigidaire microwave. Order number [protected]. The price was $130 or so with tax about $142.00. I was told it would be delivered 07/14/22 approximately. DIY parts, Sears part provider told me on 07/13/22 it was delayed and would I want to cancel or wait. I responded I would wait. Today I got an email saying the order was cancelled and call Sears if I had questions. Long story short, I can buy the part for $200+ today because it will be available 07/17/22. They cancelled my order after I said not to and now are trying to sell me that part at the higher price.

This is FRAUD. You are trying to cheat me. I had a contract with you for the purchase of the product for x price and you cancelled the order in order to have me purchase the exact item at a much higher price. I need answers now as I will not drop this issue and plan on pursuing the disclosure if this illegal activity to state and federal commerce officials. Look it up. I have emails on all the above.

Desired outcome: I want an answer and the part shipped to me at original contracted price.

Sears Replacement Refrigerator

I have been waiting to get a replacement refrigerator since March 2022. Have been getting nothing but the run around with one rescheduled after another staring in May 2022. The first order was rescheduled over 5 times. Was told to reorder another model which was also rescheduled but finally delivered in June 2022 (after many delays) it was damaged with many dents, scratches and looked used . I did as instructed and did not accept that used place of junk. After many calls and misinformation I was finally able and reordered another model. Was promised delivering on July 13th and now there is another delay. Worst customer service experience I have ever had. I'm a senior citizen and need a working refrigerator to store medical items and everyday living. I have been a loyal Sear customer and have purchased all my major appliances from Sears along with the master protection plans for over 50 years. This quality of service if totally unacceptable. There is no reason why anyone should be subjected to this type of poor customer service.

Desired outcome: I like to have my replacement refrigerator as promised according to my agreement plan immediately or give me the replacement cost allotted so I can purchase elsewhere.

Sears sears home warranty

I want to preface that I will never do business with Sears ever again.

On May 18, 2022, I had a service technician install a new compressor to my Kenmore Refrigeration and was billed $735.00 on the condition that I buy a SearsHomeWarranty for $49.99 a month for one year, which I did. I was told that I can have any of the appliances in my house repaired art no charge, but I'll have to pay $75 service charge. I then scheduled a service for my washer's bleacher cup that was not draining. So Sears shipped to me a replacement bleacher's cup. But when the service tech came over, he endlessly complained about how he is going to push the machine out of the laundry; that my laundry door should have been removed, and that he cannot do the job, and so he left. I then called the sear home warranty department to let them know I was not happy with their services, and that I wanted to cancel the warranty. Although I had already paid $49.99 for three months, the representative said I will have to be charged $150 plus $11.45 termination fees. I was appalled because I never received any service under the warranty, with the exception of the refrigerator, which I PAID IN FULL. I was kept on the phone for the whole day On June 23, 2022. And I was promised, instead of cancelling, a two months credit of $49.99x2, which was never reflected on my credit card. When I called on July 12, 2022 to let them know the I just received my credit card statement but NO CREDITS have been applied. The Representative kept saying that the credits were given, and I kept repeating that I DO NOT SEE IT ON MY CREDIT STATEMENT. So out of frustration I decided to cancel this horrible sears home warranty contract despite being charged $162!

ABSOLUTE RIP OFF

Desired outcome: I do not want to pay any termination fees as it is not specified in the contract under CANCELLATION

Sears Washer repair

Hello.  I have cancelled my home warranty as this has been the very worst service I have ever dealt with. 

I want a full refund for the part and service call as well. You can cancel the part order that I have never received and is said to be back ordered.  I will not be doing business with Sears ever again   

Customer service is very poor.  

Also i paid in full for the service call/service assessment as well as the part, which I have yet to receive and now will be waiting entirely to long for this repair 

I now have got to go and purchase a new one as it is no longer an option for me to WAIT ON SEARS!

I was on a call with sears after five transfers and two hours later all that was resolved was a refund of my warranty purchase then I waited with customer service on hold for 45 min to request / demand my full refund for the cost of the part and service call.

My order number is :[protected]

Service address is : 

7 SW 3rd street 

Lees Summit Mo 64063

I appreciate a call and an email confirming my request for refund for this order& part and resolution of this request.   

I will tell everyone I know how poorly this has been managed and not at all a good experience!

Sears Stood up 3x for service appointment

I am thoroughly disgusted ~ technician didn't show up for three scheduled appointments. When i've called customer service, they conveniently disconnect me! The utmost in disrespect! Not even the courtesy of a phone call to say they aren't coming! My telephone number is [protected] and my appointment was for fixing a dryer. I will never do business with you again!

It would be nice to have a call from someone today!

Sears Craftsman Riding Mower been out of service since May 6, 2022

I have a RPA contract.

I had 2 appointments scheduled in May - both cancelled and rescheduled.

I had 3 appointments scheduled in Jun - cancelled and rescheduled.

I had an appointment scheduled for Jul 5th - cancelled and now rescheduled for Jul 26.

My next door neighbor also had one scheduled for Jul 5th which was also scheduled for Jul 5th. Their new appointment is Jul 8. Their mower has only been down for 2 weeks.

I called to see why I couldn't also have one for the 8th we I am just next door and basically got the run around.

I have now been without the use of my mower for over 60 days and it is costing me money to cover hiring a mower.

This is totally unacceptable and certainly doesn't give me any faith in Sears - I have been a Sears customer since 1961.

Desired outcome: GET MY MOWER FIXED NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sears Hot water heater

We have been going back and forth with the warranty department to have my hot water heater replaced.

It has been over 3 months and we still cannot get any service.

The heater does not work properly. It does not heat the water. And the pilot does not stay on.

The pilot part no longer is available!

Our warranty is almost up!

The service tech told us that the parts are no longer available and to request a new heater, since this one is under warranty.

Sear makes appointments and then cancels them.

This has been done over and over.

Now we have to wait until 7/ 25 again.

The appointment has been cancelled multiple times by Sears. This is unacceptable!

We need a hot water heater.

Please help.

Sears Trying to get claims paid

May 2022-I have had the whole house warranty for a few years paying $60/month. I have a 15 year old washing machine that they have come out a few times to repair. This last time, the technician stated that the breakdown was due to 'overuse'. (Ridiculous as there is only 1 person in my house.) It's nearly impossible to get someone one the phone to talk to. I have been on hold up to 1 and 1/2 hours at a time. Then they want you to submit a dispute which I had to wait ANOTHER 45 minutes to connect. I got another appliance company to come out. They said that the basket was broken off and needed to be replaced and that it was from normal use. The claims department is now saying that they need to know the REASON it BROKE and that they only cover structural damage. How is someone able to identify WHY something broke? And isn't the basket part of the washing machine? I went to cancel and they want me to pay another $159 to cancel my warranty. I am BEYOND annoyed.

Desired outcome: I would like them to pay to repair or replace the unit as the home warranty states.

Sears Warranty Service Protection on a LG Refrigerator

On 04/18/2019 I purchased a LG French Door refrigerator. On a second purchase I paid for a 5 year extended warranty $800+ expiring on 04/18/2024 . Unfortunately I never checked the receipts. The sales clerk wrote down the wrong name. Now the fridge is having issues and the warranty is invalid because it shows the wrong name. This individual lives 2 States away. Currently I have about a $500 food loss and sears can't and won't do anything about it. It's a good thing SEARS closed down every store near me and I will not drive for 2+ hours to the nearest store to complain on deaf ears only for them to show me to the door. It was the last purchase I will EVER make though that company.

I have tried making contact with them over the phone 3 days in a row. On Monday 06/13/2022 I waited and gave them all the information for over 30 minutes, On Tuesday 06/14/2022 Once again I called them and could not find a solution for about 45+ minutes. Today Wednesday 06/15/2022 same story but this time 55+minutes just so the agent can tell me they cant do anything about it not even to cancel the agreement.

So there goes well over $1300 down the trash and a big pain in the but company!

Desired outcome: Please either refund me the $800+ for the warranty that is useless to me or validate my complaint and reinstate the warranty for the fridge plus food loss!!!

Sears Delivery of washer and dryer

We ordered an LG Washer and Dryer on May 28, 2022. Delivery was originally scheduled for June 10, 2022. We received many confirming emails and phone calls stating delivery will be on June 10, 2022. We even received an email on June 9, 2022 stating delivery would be from 9:00 am to 12:00. On June 10, 2022 at 8:30 am we received an automated call stating our delivery had to be rescheduled. My husband took off work to be home for this delivery. He spent hours on the phone trying to find out why this happened. He was constantly transferred from Sears to Costco Deliveries and back and forth several more times. We were assured by Costco Deliveries that Saturday was possible for Delivery but Sears would not approve that delivery.

Now delivery is supposed to on Tuesday June 14, 2022. I personally want to cancel the order, but my husband is willing to give Sears another try.

We are so disappointed in Sears. I will never buy anything from them again.

I will be reporting this to the Better Business Bureau.

Desired outcome: I would like the washer/dryer to be delivered when scheduled and not have the run around on delivery.
