Best service department on mower issues
February 1, 2016

The folks at Sears always service the items they sell and keep parts on older stalk too; thank you Sears! I love this store!

I ordered and paid for 6 pairs of school uniform pants (we've bought these same pants in person from Sears for years). I wanted them shipped to me, but the only option was Ship to Store. I tried to pick up the order 24 hours after I received the "pickup now" email, but the order wasn't ready. The store employee said his store didn't stock that brand and he didn't know why it was showing as available online. He gave me 6 pairs of a different brand of cargo pants - no double knee - no adjustable waist - not comparable in any way. He said he had to give me something to return the order in-store. But during the return, the manager said the pants I had ordered - and paid for - were not available; the best he could do was a refund. Then he said he couldn't even do the refund because I had used PayPal online. I contacted online customer service and was told that the they "do not have an online return option." They told me to go to another store and try again. After more than an hour at another store, I ended up with the correct brand, but the wrong color. When I contacted online customer service, I was told that they could not ship the right ones because they did not have the correct item to ship. They could not explain why they charged me for items they apparently do not have. They also could not explain why it took 4 contacts and nearly 3 hours to find out they charged me for something they do not have. I will never use Ship to Store again. BTW, the 2 stars are because the manager at the store in Long Beach went out of his way to try and fix the online store's mistake. Otherwise, this would have been one star all the way.

I had a couple of issues with Sears last month during the holidays. In truth, I bought quite a few things from them and most of those transactions went through without a hitch, a couple did not. I try to be understanding, it is a busy time of year (for all of us!). But my review is based on the fact that consistently, on at least four occasions when I've waited through the many minutes of holds and transfers and disconnected calls, I reach a real customer service agent who seems understanding and promises to fix my issue and then does nothing. Nothing is more frustrating than to be promised something only to get nothing. I'd almost rather just hear "too bad, I am not going to help you". I wouldn't be happy but at least I'd know what I was getting. Sears, train your reps to stop lying to us before you lose what few customers you have left!

Save yourself the trouble and money!
January 27, 2016

I ordered an Appliance package online, for home delivery. Sears stated delivery would commence on Jan 21,2016. Denver, Co into the Front Range Mountains
Delivery date came and went. I was finally called and informed that the driver was unable to come up the hill because of sow and ice. I had just accepted delivery of 1100 sqft of drywall, delivered on a flatbed truck with a crane attached! But Sears delivery could not make it up the hill and next delivery date available was not until 7 days later! I informed the driver and dispatch to please call us when they get to the hill next time, so I could meet them there and pick up the items myself. Jan. 27 came and went and no delivery! I received a call again, stating the delivery woman could not make it up the hill and returned. Next delivery will not be for another 7 days later! Construction delays are costing me thousands of dollars per week. When I asked for a supervisor, they offered me a $50 discount. I have yet to get my appliances. Update** It was never successfully resolved and I cancelled the order completely.

SEARS IS HORRIBLE
January 20, 2016

They do not appreciate your business unless you spend tons of money (obviously) and shop there constantly. I had a cc with them and because I didn't use it often enough, they closed it down out of no where and with no warning. Don't spend your money at Sears or KMart since they are unappreciative... I know me and my family will not!

Their customer service is absolutely a disaster: rude people, uncarring, and disengaged. Their stores are dirty and lifeless. Bought a 'ride-along' that had engine problems within one month and was nothing but hassles trying to get the store to live up to its agreement.

Ordered a gift for Christmas
January 4, 2016

It was promised by Dec. 11 and is still not here on Jan. 4. How can a business promise something if they can not deliver, isn't that against the law?

December 31, 2015

I had order items online and when i order they would give me a shipping date and and i would acttually get the package by day 3 which i am very happy, and i always order from them and put lawaway and once the order is paid its get ship, this is the best place to put a layaway, cause lots of dept stores dont have them no more, which is not right to us buyers but what can we do, lots of people ruin it for the rest, but what can we do.

Replaced a freezer.
December 23, 2015

Ordered a replacement freezer for one I had for 15 years. They had just the item! It was delivered by a few guys that took care not to damage it and they took the old one away. Bought a generator from them 2 years ago, and that was a good experience too. Oh, also a snowblower. All good.

Sears sucks
December 21, 2015

I have had several bad experiences over the years. Customer on the phone is stupid many phone numbers and getting the run around until you find the right department. Never buy their appliance warranty program. Money scam when something goes wrong they find an excuse to why it is not covered.

Sears were America Shops...
December 21, 2015

Yes, I still believe in this great company. There Sales motto in the 70's was were America Shops. It was true in those days people shopped at Sears. Why? Sears has the best trained and inform Sales Associates when it comes to Appliances, Hardware, bedding or Electronics. I know every store has one of those guys who puts on a Suit and Tie trying to impress people with their charm and overbaring attitude but the rest of the people are really down to earth and they care not just looking for a commission like those so called Super Professionals all dress up in there fancy suits. I give Sears and Roebuck a 5 star rating because truly are the one of the best Retailers in the World. Well, they are trying to anyway.
