I visited the Danbury/Brookfield CT store to purchase a 24" built-in dishwasher. I was immediately greeted and helped by Jeremiah. He was very knowledgeable and helpful and went above and beyond in every way. He helped me choose the right product and protection plan, listening to my needs along the way. I purchased the Bosch which was on sale. I received my installation and delivery promptly today and the 2 service personnel were polite and professional. A 5-star experience from start to finish!

Customer satisfaction. I live in Manhattan New York and I travel 19 miles to go to PC Richards in Staten Island at Richmond Avenue just to purchase my products from the sales person Lenny. I really like the way they treat customers there. I'm very happy with the store and with the employee's name Lenny that been working at PC Richards for very long time. I'm happily and satisfied with the customer service. I've been a PC Richards customer for over 15 years and very satisfied with all the products they sell, the service they provide, the way they treat people as family. I would always travel 100 miles just to buy products from the sales person Lenny. Love the way he treats customers.

I have 3 small children and don't have time to go into the store like most people can. After doing some research on washing machines online, I placed my order over the phone. The salesperson, Kenneth, was wonderful. He knew the product I was speaking of well and was very knowledgeable. He was patient, a great listener, and very thorough. He was a professional and what a model salesperson should be. He even gave me his cell phone number so I can contact him with any further questions! He exceeded all my expectation all around! I placed my order on Wednesday afternoon and my washing machine was installed in my home by 7:30 in the morning the next day!!! The Delivery men were also great... They covered my floor with a blanket to make sure it wouldn't scratch. Great job P.C. Richard! I will be back! Hopefully Kenneth will still be there when I am in need of something else!

My new stove, Samsung NX58H5650WS, was ordered yesterday (Friday, November 6, 2015), and was delivered today (November 7, 2015). Sharon was my salesperson and took care of everything. Today, Tom and Anthony delivered my new stove. They were friendly, efficient, and clean. They called in the morning to let me know the delivery window, came when they were supposed to, took out my old stove, and installed my new one. Plus, they had to climb up my narrow steps to the second floor to do it. Also, Tom showed me how to work the new stove. (My old one was 30; times have changed.) Needless to say, I am delighted with the stove and your always reliable and professional service. And just so you knew, I only buy my appliances from you. You are that good! Thanks.

We purchased a Whirlpool washer in Jan. 2014. Have had to have several service calls mostly due to machine leaking. This morning, the machine continued to fill up and drain and caused a mini-flood in the basement laundry area. I called your store in Manchester, CT and spoke with the very best representative a company could have, Dorothy. Within a few minutes Dorothy had resolved the problem. The defective machine is being returned and a Maytag washer is to be delivered tomorrow. I cannot impress upon you enough the quality of service Dorothy has always delivered. She is truly a sterling example of what customer service is about. You are very fortunate to have Dorothy in your employ.

I went to this store to purchase a music system. The day that I went, I ended up leaving without making a purchase. When I returned a few days later, I was expecting to receive different service due to the fact that the salesperson might have thought that I was going to waste their time again. Instead, the second visit was outstanding, and the service was just as good, but this time the equipment that I was interested in was in stock. I love buying at P.C. Richard & Son. The service never fails me, especially when Jeffrey ** is involved.

I've always shopped PC Richard for all my family's electronic needs. I will tell you this, they all have great service ethics however the one in Carteret is by far the most attentive and professional. Their bargain clearance center is huge in back of the store and filled with surprisingly well priced goodies, some up to 75-90% off!!! There's nothing you can't find at the store that the manager and staff won't cater to and or work with you to get you best pricing. The manager is always on the floor greeting customers and assisting their well trained workforce. It's always a pleasure to visit there... and no, we are not related or have a known relative working there, they just make you feel like family. I like that...

Order can be found by phone# **. We signed up to purchase a cooktop. We were told they had to survey the installation area to make sure it would fit. We had a window from 1-4pm and they finally arrived after 8pm. Truck broke down. They said it wouldn't fit and a different cooktop would be much more expensive. We found another installer and he measured and said it would fit. We told PC Richard we would pick it up. When would it be available? They said Thursday.
On the day after Thursday we called to make sure it would be ready for pick up on Saturday when we would be in the area. It turned out it would NOT be ready until the following Tuesday. We ask if our installer could pick it up and they said yes and to prove his credentials they would email me immediately a copy of the invoice which he could present for the pickup. Email never arrived. What possibly could be worse?? Terrible service!!

I do not recommend PC Richards. Using them has been a nightmare. First, my fridge did not work and leaked all over my new floors. They tried to service it 3 times and it still leaked even though it was "fixed". After three times, they switched it out and damaged my floors removing the old one and spilling the leaking water all over. When I called to complain about the old floors they told me that they spoke to a "flooring expert" and it was an existing issue. This is all without looking at the floors. Next, my Bosch washer doesn't work. It has been serviced 3 times and still not working. I have to take off work and stay home for all 6 of my servicing issues. I am about to dispute the charge on my credit card unless the defective washer is removed from my condo.

Though it is killing me not to, I will not give names of folks who disrespected/lied to me at this time but should a "real" person in charge want them, I will supply them. Purchased a small fridge (14 cubic in) back in May/June. Never bought from them before - supposedly had a good rep. Walked in, got welcomed by nice associate. Size I wanted not on floor but was shown one in 16 inch and told it was exactly same only small size I wanted. Paid with credit card and all done in 15 minutes. This was only good part of my experience! Choose a delivery date & all was set up. Delivery guy spoke VERY limited English (Slavic/Russian). I asked a few questions but he couldn't really respond. I know nothing about this appliance but he assured me & said "Plugged in - give 2 hours to put your food in" & he was gone w/in 15 minutes. Hours later, I put in my items.
By that night, I noticed my freezer was not cold and water was dripping off top inside and water under food. No manual with fridge; no instructions or phone number given to me to call should there be problem. Called P.C. Richards (Marlboro, NJ) where I bought fridge, and described what was happening. Manager very nice & tells me to push dial behind food up and freezer will be ok. Next morning, freezer filled with water and frozen icicles... All food (just bought for the month - over $125!) defrosted - ruined. Called again; “We'll send someone out.” BUT I must call Customer service, and, by the way "We do not pay for food lost." What? That was my food $$ for the month from my check... How do I eat?? Called Customer Service as he said to do. Given runaround from person to person; finally, set up for technician to come; they'll call me but "We do not pay for food lost."
Called again to complain; supervisor won't come to phone! Put on "hold" - then, rep said supervisor will give me a store credit. Are you kidding? I can't buy food there with a store credit. I will never use credit because I will never purchase anything from P.C. Richard again after this. They tell me to call manufacturer; how do I know it is fridge? No tech has yet come. Tech finally comes after a few days from Lakewood, NJ store. Finds fridge not set up correctly; should have been elevated in front - wrong screws used when moving handle to other side. He sees all food in 2 large black plastic bags - "They'll never give you compensation for food." He also finds "gasket (?)" damaged when handle moved. Report put in. Many calls later after hang-ups and finding out first supervisor didn’t exist, rep lied about credit to shut me up.
Finally got to the head guy's secretary for Customer Service area. He tells them she will deal with me - he refuses to answer any of my calls. He wants "proof" of groceries bought before any reimbursement is ever made… Who keeps receipts of food bought once food is put away?? Secretary was rude and nasty - "Why are your screaming at me?" she says. What? Really? Finally, they will replace fridge. Again two foreign speaking men come to deliver replacement. Younger one tells me I don't deserve new fridge. Attitude like he was Mr. Richards himself - threatening attitude and major anger issues. I tell him to just bring fridge in as he was being paid to do!! The second guy brings in replacement fridge; banging it into my doors and walls. My neighbors say it was not in a carton - came right off back of truck. Then young guy wants me to sign receipt but also demands I say all is fine. I say I will sign for receipt only.
He comes close to me in threatening manner and says "I will not fight with you. You old lady but you better sign." Being a senior female and alone and having both men surrounding me, I just put an O.K. on paper. They leave & I call Customer Service. Speak to rep; transferred to secretary. She says I will get limited compensation (nowhere near $$$ I lost)! I decide to settle for it; better than nothing. Try to discuss delivery but she hangs up. Weeks later had not received check. Called her again. "Oh, sorry. Mistake made by system, new check will be in mail." However, once I cash check all is done for them.
Less than 60 days later same issue with freezer - food lost. They have to send tech, but only after I threaten a lawsuit. By time he is scheduled, I have thrown out food and freezer has no more ice hanging so he says since it seems to be working, he has nothing to check!!! "Call them if it happens again." The fridge makes all kinds of noises as it goes on and off. Frozen food boxes always "damp" - freezer items not frozen as should be. So, what can I do? Luckily, I did not depend on that late, insufficient check or I would have starved that month. I was told one of the real top guys says there are no complaints against this company. Honestly?? Guess he doesn't check the Internet!!

So I purchased the latest 'iPad Mini 4 16GB' tablet yesterday at 4 pm (10/8/15). The only way to purchase online said for in-store pickup. Okay, fine. I was able to locate and choose the Patchogue store, on Long Island. Since I work in NYC, I 'figured' I could place my order at 4 pm and pick it up by the time I got to Patchogue, later last night around 730 pm. Nope. Wrong. Today is Friday, 10/9/15, and I still have yet to receive an email saying my item is available for in-store pickup. I emailed 'Support' earlier this morning and asked what the hold-up was. I even asked if they could please look into seeing if the item was available at the nearest PC Richard store, near my job.
I get the usual automatic response saying my email will be responded to in under 24hrs. An hour later, they reply saying something similar to "Thank you for contacting us! We are very sorry that the Patchogue location did not have the iPad in stock for you. We see that you spoke to 'Jennifer' (I changed the name to protect the innocent) and will be picking up the item on Monday. Thank you for your business." I responded with something along the lines of "Please advise, but this is the first I'm hearing anything from PC Richards with regards to my order, nor have I spoken to anyone named Jennifer."
So I place an in-store pickup order on a Thursday afternoon, and now I'm being told I've spoken to some lady and I've agreed to pick the item up on Monday now? This is all news to me! So Again, I get the usual automated response that I will be replied to in under 24hrs. 2 hrs have gone by now and still no response. I replied again with just "Cancel my order and please let me know after the charges are reversed so that I can keep an eye of it in my account." I don't know who they're getting their information from, but this is just ridiculous. Their so-called 'in-store pickup' is a joke, as well as their 'Support'!
Side note: I went back to their site just now, to see what other store locations have 'in-store pickup' near my job, for this particular item, as well as near my home. Now their website is saying that there's no place for me to go and pick my item up in nyc or on long island. Get it together guys! You've just lost a loyal customer, who's also going to cancel my CC with you!

I recently purchased a Jenn-Air appliance package from PC Richard in North Haven. As soon as I walked in the door, a gentleman was passing by the front door he was clearly busy. With papers in hand, intercom paging him, and customer saying "thank you so much." He looks at me and says hello, shook my hand and introduced himself as Justin. Not only was his greeting warm and sincere, he didn't ask how he could help me or why I was there, he welcomed me to the store and asked if I was there for the birthday celebration sale, or just passing by. Odd, salesmen always use the same two lines. Nothing like this.
I informed him that my wife and I were remodeling our kitchen. After praise and prayer because he knows what a remodel entails, he asked what brands I had in mind. I recently did some research and really liked a brand called Jenn-Air. I didn't disclose that info and instead, named some of the features I liked about the product. Immediately Justin mentioned two brands. One being Jenn Air and the other Thermador. Well, I wasn't sure of the differences, he actually sat with me and we found every bell and whistle about each product. The patience, kindness and knowledge made me immediately move forward with my purchase. Everything was delivered and installed today. I couldn't be more happy with my decision and my choice to work with this young man. The cherry topper, right after delivery, Justin called to ask how everything went. I recommend everyone gives this a try. You will be pleased!

I was at store 1159 Roosevelt Ave, Carteret, NJ at 9 pm. I came down from Syracuse to buy the TV from this store as my cousin told me that they have good deals on TV’s. He (Ikram **) just got the 65" from this store about 2 weeks ago. There was sales guy name Kevin who was helping us, showed us one floor TV 55" 4k uhd which was listed for 1170. He said that if we like it, he can do it for us for a 1000. We then told him okay that we would buy this and he then walked to the manager to get permission from the manager I believe and came back telling us that the manager is not coming down more than 1100 so I am so sorry. He also said that since it is the end of the month, maybe that's why he is not coming down more just to get his sales more to get a higher bonus, but if we come back tomorrow he could try to get him to lower the price.
I told him that I came from Syracuse and that I will not be able to come tomorrow so could I talk to your manager? When we reached the manager, he was already pissed off and he was telling one of his employees "What the ** are you doing?" and when we tried to talk to him he was like, "If you guys are going to talk about the price, I am not gonna come down and whatever price I told you is the final price." I was going to tell him that his salesperson already promised us to give it to us at 1000 but then because he was all hyped up and being so rude, I felt I better walk out from the store. I would hate to go back to this location again and I would not recommend it to anyone I know.

Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere! The PC Richard & Son in Southampton, LI has knowledgeable salespeople but is the end of the good news. I bought a new dishwasher. It was delivered and installed, but it did not work well from the first load. It ran thru all the cycles but the glassware, silverware and dishes were still soiled at the end of the load. I called immediately. The salesman told me to call the service department, which I promptly did. They sent a "technician" who did not pull the machine out, but simply tried each cycle to make sure it turned on. Then he opened the hose to the drain. That was fine too. He stated that my water was too cold giving it a temperature of 70 degrees! Bizarre speculation. The water is more than adequately hot.
His second false speculation was that I was putting in too much detergent. I asked him how much to use and he said one tablespoon. I followed his directions running 6 more loads, some of which were test loads with only a few dishes. The dishwasher does not get dishes, glasses or silverware clean. It smells dirty when you open it after the cycle is complete. I called again and asked for a new dishwasher. I spoke to the salesman who told me to speak to the store manager, who said, "Goodbye. Have a nice day. Call the service department." Then he hung up.

Purchased LG TV 3 years ago... regular warranty just ran out; fortunately we purchased extended warranty. Called P.C. Richard on Monday morning 8:30 am to say TV light on but no picture or sound. Repair man cannot come to home until 4:30 Wednesday. He was at my house for about 5 min and said TV needed new "motherboard" and it would take 3 business days to arrive. Should have the part by Monday. HAHA...
Since I heard nothing, I called Monday and they told me it takes 3-5 days... so I called back on Wednesday, the 5th day and was told that the part hasn't arrived yet. I live in North Jersey, the part is coming from Carteret, NJ about 1/2 away. The repair department said it will be until Friday or maybe the following Monday until they receive it. Ok so that is 8 days for a part that I could have gone to in 1/2 hour and picked up and had so much quicker! Disappointed that when I first had them order part, I asked them to call me to let me know when it is arriving. No call... and when I call they tell me when it comes, it comes. My computer broke down at work and the part I needed arrived in 24 hours and was fixed. Poor customer service.

I received a call from Michael at P.C. Richard & Son corporate office. He was very helpful to me and understanding of my situation. He offered compensation for my trouble and, as a result, I will definitely give P.C. Richard & Son another shot.
I have shopped at P.C. Richard & Son several times in the past and always received good customer service. I think this past experience was just one major fluke and I am happy everything finally got resolved in a satisfactory way.
The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because I did have to go through an ordeal to get everything fixed.

I have been a loyal customer at P.C. Richard & Son for about 5 years now. I have always received excellent customer service and that's why I kept going back. I purchased a Frigidaire refrigerator on July 2nd at your Union Square location (120 East 14th Street New York, NY 10003). It worked fine for about 2 months. On Friday September 4th I noticed it was not cold inside. I performed all the trouble shooting procedures in the owner's manual and waited as instructed by the owner's manual 24 hours for the refrigerator to equalize. It never did.
I called the P.C. Richards service number and they said the earliest they could send a service technician out would be Wednesday September 9th. I explained to them that this would not work for my schedule and asked if they could send out someone out on Sunday or Monday as this was a brand new refrigerator. They refused. I made sure with the customer service agent that I spoke with that the refrigerator would be fixed on Wednesday as I have had to rearrange my entire life for service tech to come on that day. She assured me my refrigerator would be up and running on Wednesday. Needless to say it was not.
When the service tech came yesterday he opened up the refrigerator, said it was broken and took pictures. He then told me to call the service number in an hour to see what was to be done. When I called that number no one knew what was happening. Finally I found someone to get to the bottom of things and found out that the service tech ordered parts. The parts would be in by Friday September 11th but there was no guarantees as to when a service tech could come out!
By this point I am highly upset. I spoke with a supervisor and explained to her I needed the refrigerator fixed immediately and that I had already waited patiently for 4 days. Her solution was to have a completely new refrigerator delivered. I said this was fine and that it needed to be to my apartment before 4pm on Thursday September 10th. My building has strict delivery hours. I can only receive deliveries between the hours of 9am and 4pm. The supervisor assured me this would not be a problem. I called the quick check number last night and was told my delivery window would be between 12:45pm and 3:45pm which is fine. However when I called the number this early this afternoon to double check I was told the window was now between 3:45pm and 6:45pm!
I did not know which service number I should call so I called the Union Square location and spoke with a supervisor ** who was extremely rude. I explained the situation to him and his response was if they said they will be there before 4 they will be there. I told him I was concerned because of what the quick check line said. He then informed me there was no way for him to find out where the truck was and then said to me, "I don't know what you are getting so excited about. It's only 1:20 in the afternoon."
At this point after everything I have been through with this situation I became very upset with him. I told him I did not believe there was not anyway to check where the driver is at and that basically like everyone else I have dealt with in this situation. He did not want to do his job. His response to this was "If I'm so lazy why did I pick up the phone." I said to him that it was his job to answer the phone and asked to speak with his boss and he informed me that there was no one else available. At this point I hung up the phone because it was obvious I was not going to get anywhere with him.
Long story short this is the worst customer service I have ever received in my entire life anywhere. I can't believe that your company would sell such unreliable appliances and won't even back them up. I put this purchase on my P.C. Richards & Son credit card. It is not even paid off yet and I am already having problems with it. From now on I will never shop at P.C. Richards again and I will make sure to tell everyone else I know that they would be better off going someplace else. Needless to say I am still waiting for my refrigerator.

Purchased a mattress set on March 8. Had it delivered March 13, 2015. Left the box spring covered for a while and a couple months back I took the plastic off. I have been noticing I was getting bit up but never thought anything other than mosquitoes could be the issue. Sunday I found a bug crawling on my leg in the middle of the night. Lo and behold it was a bed bug. I never in a million years would have thought bed bugs would have been the issue especially since in March when I moved everything in my home was purchased brand new. So after flipping the bed and box spring they were embedded in the box spring. I immediately searched the rest of my home and came across nothing. Nobody else in my home has any bites on them. I'm assuming since I keep a clean home and I'm constantly vacuuming and disinfecting. I kept them confined to that one space.
After contacting P.C. Richard worst customer service in my life had me on hold half an hour at a time. They basically said nothing they could do. Had my home been infested I could understand, but when they are only in the box spring that came from your store there is an issue. My kids beds where purchased elsewhere, no issue, my sofas no issue, all purchased in March. I have contacted the Better Business Bureau consumer affairs and I will move on to 6abc and NBC 10 to further investigate, that's how positive I am that they were carried in by that box spring. I would never do business with P.C. Richard again.

I purchased a range and microwave for my son and his fiancée’s bridal shower, along with delivery, install and warranty. Upon install completion, the installer wanders down to hallway and says here's the bathroom and uses the bathroom. Upon leaving the premises the driver of the large delivery truck backs into the retaining wall, goes forward into the fence, cracks a tree in half and then trades places with his partner. The driveway is long and steep, of which we informed PC Richard & Son at the time of purchase; but was still stumped as to why he was so nervous and hurried to leave. Until my son's fianceé notice that her rings were taken from her ringer holder at the bathroom sink. Her engagement and pre-engagement engagement rings were stolen. Then it all made sense. Because it's Sunday, we cannot call the delivery center until tomorrow. Until then, my son and his fiancée are just heartbroken and devastated.
Does PC Richard do background checks on the sub contracted people they allow into your home? Will they take responsibility? We filed a police report and they are informing all pawn shops to alert them. These rings total almost 15,000 dollars.

By far the worst customer service I have ever crossed paths with. Received numerous repairs on a washer Whirlpool that the service dept told us was repaired and apparently never was. We set a load to wash downstairs in the laundry room. I went to the make drop offs to camps, by the time we returned to put the clothes in the dryer the water had completely come out of the washing machine and spread throughout the kids room and damaged their floors and my eldest daughter's property that were in boxes for her return to college. I received the run around the machine till finally they credited me for another washing machine.
Ordered another washer and sales person swore by this washer. I did not want to purchase another front loader but he said it was rated customers no. 1 pick. Washing machine came the next day. So excited because we have 5 children and needed to use the washing machine immediately, we did. When I say that the load literally took 5 hours to wash I thought I was going out of my mind. I gave it a chance to finish and it never did, finally I stopped it and tried another setting. This setting seem to work well, said 10 min left on spin. Went finished up with dinner, came downstairs and 2 hours later the machine still showed 10 min in spin. Called both the store and the service dept and continue to get the run around.
This machine is not even 2 days old now and they refuse to exchange it. I'm being told I have to get a repair. It's like a nightmare, I have to get repairs made by the same repairmen that could not properly repair the first machine. Customer service reps Dana and Marilyn both rude they said the manager would get back to me once he was off of the phone. Hours later I called again I was told to speak to the store manager that they were the only ones able to make the exception on the exchange. Called the store manager Sheldon ** who was just as rude, would not assist me and just simply told me here was nothing he could do but have it service to call service.
So now service is closed. the service manager Mile ** never returned my call and I'm stuck with a brand new washing machine that can not being exchanged, only serviced by the same folks that could not repair the first machine. Hmmm great customer service. My question is not how but now I see why PC Richard now needs to also sale mattress. They need business because there is absolutely no way I would purchase another appliance from them again.

I was shopping for a mattress and went to the usual suspects then remembered P. C. Richard now sells them so I went in to give it a try. The prices marked were the same as everyone else but then the sales rep gave me a quote when he knew I was shopping and told me for that price I had to do it before Sunday. I went back Saturday, the salesmen, Vince, was working with someone so I had to wait 45 minutes for him. I was not happy but they were there first. I told him I'll take the mattress and now he said the price would be $20 more and on a $150 mattress that's a lot, or he would have to call the manager. I told him to call the manager, who said he will not live up to the price Vince gave me. I wasted over an hour at the store, left pissed, bought the mattress elsewhere for an extra $15 and after buying lots of things at P.C. Richard I will not return.

Bad experience with PC Richard's extended warranty. Expect a week for a tech to come diagnose problem (even if you identify issue yourself they won't order part first) and at least another 5 days for a repair (and that's assuming the part is available for overnight delivery--which in PC Richard's world takes 2 days). Even if you live a stone's throw from a store they're either hopelessly understaffed or don't care enough about your broken dishwasher or other major appliance to get it repaired any faster.

After confirming a scheduled delivery, it was also confirmed that my old appliance would be replaced. That was annotated on my billing receipt for my records. On the date of the delivery the delivery people refused to take the old appliance. Granted the appliance is large but the large size was noted as well. When calling P.C. Richard & Son to try to rectify the problem, the salesman that sold me the item, Donald, and the manager, Ricky, were very disrespectful and aggressive with me. Both were reluctant to even try to help find a solution to the problem. I had to personally call the corporate offices to try to have someone pick up my old appliance. I understand that someone may have made a mistake but these two gentlemen were apathetic to the point of uselessness. Needless to say, a solution could not be negotiated.

While ** is trying to help me, ** is running around the store giving me killer looks, and talking to customers about me... making me very nervous.
When they delivered the washer it looked horrible next to the beautiful dryer... so I'm still not happy.

We have bought our appliances at P.C. Richard on Broadway Upper West Side for the last 10 years. Always fairly happy with the choice and installation. We purchased a microwave and decided to buy a service contract through P.C. Richard The microwave stopped working after less than two years (not their fault) but it took us 6 weeks before getting the issue resolved. First, it took one week to schedule a repairperson to come. Then he said he needed to order a part which took another week to come in. Then it required two repairmen to fix which took about another week and a half to schedule because it's difficult for them to schedule a two man team.
When the two repairmen came, they discovered that the microwave actually needed another part which had to be ordered and would take 5 business days to receive. After numerous calls to P.C. Richard, they finally agreed to swap out the unit with a new unit. But getting the certificate of insurance and the installation scheduled took some time as well. Finally afar 6 weeks, we have a working microwave and P.C. Richard has lost a customer for good. If they are not capable of servicing products, they should stick to just selling them.

The next day, I called the service department. They told me to get an electrician to check the outlet. I wasn't paying for an electrician to check an outlet that was working prior to a new dryer being plugged into it. They begrudgingly set me up for service. On Feb. 26th, PC Richard Service came and discovered that there was indeed power going into the dryer, but something was wrong internally. The very nice service man said he would have to order parts.
When I contacted the service department to find out how long it would take for the parts to get in, I was told on March 12th. That was nearly a month after I bought the dryer, so i wanted to speak to someone in power about it. Regardless of how many times I called, I was put on hold for a long time, or told someone would call me. No one ever called to expedite.
On March 13th, the same service man came. He still was not able to repair the dryer and would need more parts. On the 16th, Monday morning, I called service once again. I do not remember exactly what date they told me the parts would be in, but suffice to say it was 2 weeks. Again, no one seemed too concerned that I paid cash for a dryer a month earlier and still had never used it. So, I took to Twitter. Through Twitter, they asked for my information. On the 17th, I was called by service and told to go to the store and pick out a new dryer. On the 19th, I went to the Riverhead store, which is where I originally bought it. I was told if I picked anything other than the original model, I would have to pay the difference. So why send me to the store if you intend to give me the same dryer? Just send me the darn dryer then!
Frustrated by all the new charges they were trying to tag on, I told them maybe they should just take the dryer back and give me a refund. They told me they couldn't do that. Really? Just, really?? The salesman spoke to the manager, who decided to waive the installation charge. How big of you! I won't go on about what more went on.

My washing machine started leaking two years into its five year warranty period. During the first appointment, the technician said that he would need to order a replacement pump. The pump would be delivered to my residence and I would need to schedule another appointment to have it installed. His estimate for how long this would take was 5 to 7 days. From the technician's company's refusal to give me a tracking number, I'm sure that the order for the pump was not placed for another two weeks. The pump finally arrived 3 weeks later (instead of 5 to 7 days later as originally estimated), and I had to wait one more week to get another technician to come to install it. The second technician was late.
Considering the amount I paid for the 5 year warranty and the wages lost staying home waiting for the technicians, it would have cost less and been much faster to buy a new washing machine. At least after one month, they finally managed to fix it.

Now excited about my deal of the century I went about my day.
At 11:29 a.m. I received an e-mail from PC Richard stating, "Unfortunately, due to a computing error on the site, the item you purchased (**) was sold for a price below what we are able to sell it for." and are sending me a $25 gift card for the error.

Boss walked in had to go to a surprise meeting. Had my mother call on my behalf to find out more information. Talk with her later that evening and she informs me that she had spoken with a very nice woman that was willing to honor the price for us but, was unable to due to the manager having that power and he was no longer in the office.

Feeling pretty good about the situation I decide to sneak in the call at work. I call the service line at 9:50 a.m. and get Justin, who informs me that there is nothing he can do and the company is not willing to honor the original sales price. After a few more moments talking with him he places me on hold (for 8 mins) and then transfers me to his manager Jason. I immediately get "stone walled". "I understand how you feel but there is nothing we can do". Then offers me $100 dollars off and a $50 gifts for my troubles. I explain to him that they have taken payment almost 24 hours after I made the purchase. "That money will be back in your account by the end of the week". Pretty nice how they can take your money quickly but, take so long to give it back.
I explained that it was processed through them, payment taken, and the mistake wasn't caught until it went through to the third party, they should honor this deal and own up to their mistakes to keep a customer happy. Kept getting the run around and told Jason that this is like going to a grocery store, paying for something and before he handed my product being told they can no longer honor this price, "here's your money back". I was informed that analogy isn't relevant and the we cannot honor this price speech started again. Frustrated I ended the phone before I had gotten irate.
I don't feel this is very good customer service at all and that should be a large backbone in any company.

I ignored other reviews and complaints about this company, due to never having any issues personally.

I ordered a main control board for my ref. When the technician came he said that it was the wrong part they had sent me. I called them asking for a refund. They gave me the runaround. Must have spoken to at least 9 people. They kept saying the supervisor Rich would call right back. He never did. I called customer service again spoke to Jessica. She kept saying it was my fault for ordering the wrong part. She said I have the recording. I said "Play it for me" and she said "I don't know how" and said I don't know what the issue is.

I had a laptop on layaway, the day I went to pick it up they didn't have it. I was told, “Come back in 2 days and it will be there.” The associate advised me to get anti-virus. I got it expecting the laptop will be there. I went back no laptop, I asked for a refund. They said, “No give me two more days it will be there,” they promised. I went back and nothing. I ask to speak to manager. He told me the person I spoke to before was lying when he said he was the manager. So not only I had to wait and keep going back to the store, the people who worked there lied about their position. After over 1 1/2 weeks of every two days going back to 86th street on the west side, I finally got the laptop. And they was a little nasty to me even though I spent my money in that store.

Purchased a refrigerator about four years ago. Now I need to have it serviced by their service department and they are completely clueless. A service technician comes out on 12/6/13 and orders the part. I received three missed calls. I contact the number and all I get is a recording. After a week of trying to get through to them I call my local store, speak with a manager. I was told that someone would call on Friday to let me know the time they would arrive on Saturday. No call on Friday. I received a call from the technician on Saturday @ 8:10 am. Was given a time between 11-2. At around 10:30 the technician calls back to inform me that he doesn't have all of the parts and will have to wait. On 1/5/15, I receive a message that I need to contact the service department to schedule the appointment. I call on 1/6/15. The part is not in yet, why would you be contacting me?? It now is a month, the problem has not been fixed. I have a service contract, that I purchased at the time of the sale. Your company is Nationwide, don't you care how you are being viewed??

After 1 year of having the washer/dryer the dryer no longer dries nor gets even remotely warm! Called store directly, they can't help, have to call the repair dept. I call - the girl on the phone was nasty with no personality to deal with the public. I bought the 5-year warranty so this should be easy right??? Wrong! She has to call the outsourced repair vendor Dependable. She tells me Monday morning they will come. They will call in morning with time frame.
Monday comes, they call and say they will be here within the hour that was at 845. By 1130 am no one shows nor calls. I call PC Richards repair dept. First call 30 mins on hold, then disconnected. 2nd call, on hold about 12 mins. Girl says oh they will be there with in an hour! I tell her no, reschedule he told me an hour 3 hours ago. Reset the appt. That day they didn't call to give time, I called them. Same, answer within the hour... They come... 2 parts are broke! He had no timeline on when the parts will come in nor when they will come back. Nor do they know if the 2 parts will be approved. So why did I pay for the 5-year warranty???? 3 weeks...

I purchased a Samsung dishwasher in July of 2013 and paid for a very expensive 5-yr extended warranty. In October the dishwasher needed to be repaired and I had to wait over a week for a repairman to come to my house, then several more days for the appropriate parts to be ordered. Last week the appliance malfunctioned again and again I had to wait over a week for a repairman to come to my house. The malfunctioning appliance displays an error code which tells the repair service the appropriate parts to order. On the first call, they just didn't order the parts and dispatched a man to my home with no parts at all. On this second call, the same error message was displayed and the parts were allegedly ordered, but the repairman who came to my house said they weren't stocked on his truck. I had to wait all day today, the second day in a row, for a service man who has just arrived at my house, more than an hour after the time frame I was allotted. Super unhappy with the customer service of P.C. Richard and Son.

I needed new pulleys for my dishwasher. It felt like the door weighed 50 pounds. New pulleys were installed but by coincidence, somehow the latch was damaged. They came back to "fix" the latch and now the water leaks, the latch is even worse. Now the Parts are now longer in stock and I need a new machine. But the parts were not an issue when I was billed $280 for a repair. October 2014 and you wonder what type operation they are running.
The machine is old enough, so there is wiggle room on the problem being 100% PC repair people. But there was no water leak until the repair people showed up and started to fix one thing, and Break Two other parts!! Water leaks now and a damaged closing latch. As a kicker they wrote about a non-existent problem on my receipt. They came to fix the pulleys and they wrote "No Power" on the receipt. Total Bull. The Paramus (or Wayne) store gave me the name of someone to call in Long Island. Turns out they left the company years ago.

I called the P. C. Richard 800 number for service since I bought my Samsung Refrigerator 1-1/2 years ago and was under full warranty. The girl on the other end took my information and said someone would be in touch with me. Five hours later, I called the number again. This time I got a new person who had robotic questions and answers. She said someone would be in touch with me before the end of the day. She said they were trying to find someone to come out in my area. When I questioned her as to what would happen if they couldn't find someone, she said they would give me a new appliance. I was so baffled by her answer.
I paid $2,500.00 for the refrigerator, and I was sure the problem was just in the panel on the front of the refrigerator. Right then I knew I was in trouble. I decided to look online and googled my problem. Little did I know that others had my problem. They gave me some ideas on how to fix it and believe it or not it worked. When P. C. Richard called me back at the end of the day, they said I could have someone come out on Nov. 14th. How can I not have a refrigerator for 8 days. I told them to cancel the appointment that I fixed the problem myself!

Having the most horrible service from PC Richard EVER!!! On 10/14 I called for service on a dishwasher under warranty. Earliest appointment available was Friday, 4 days later. Was given a window of between 2 - 5 pm. I called PC Richard at 5:10 because there was no tech, and no info given, and was told he is "probably" on the way. The technician finally shows up at 5:40. There is no apology from either the tech or the call center that the technician shows up 40 minutes late. The technician dropped his tools on the floor and saw there was an error code on the dishwasher. He called someone and was told (I heard both ends of the conversation on the speaker) there was a water channel that needed to be cleaned and that the part should be replaced. He got up to leave and was not telling me anything. I asked him what was going on and he told me the channel was a problem to clean and he did not want to do it. He said he was going to get the part ordered and would call in a week or so to set another appointment. I waited about 30 minutes and called the "Service Center" and was told the tech had not updated the call yet and I should call back the following day.
I called back in the afternoon the next day (Saturday) and was told the tech STILL had not updated the records. The rep told me they would check into it and call back. No call ever came. I call Monday morning and ask for a supervisor. I am told they are all busy with incoming calls (no surprise) and that someone would call back in 10 minutes. I called 30 minutes later and am told the tech still has not updated the records. The rep that told me I could talk to a supervisor was totally wrong. I should have been told I "might" be able to get a call from a supervisor late in the afternoon. There is nothing anyone can/will do to get this issue resolved in any expedited manner. It is just going to have to go through the steps to get resolved.
So at this point in time I am stuck with a broken dishwasher that is under warranty that I have absolutely no idea when or if it is going to be repaired. All I have from PC Richard is a bunch of pathetic cover ups and excuses. I feel very sad for anyone that listens to the store sales rep and pays for an extended warranty. Service within a regular warranty is dismal. I will not be buying from PC Richard again. I do not want to pay the money to get something and not be able to get it fixed in a timely manner or from what I am currently seeing, ever fixed.

On Saturday, October 4, 2014 my daughters purchased a dishwasher for me as a birthday gift from the P.C. Richards at 239-10 Linden Boulevard in Queens. The dishwasher was supposed to be delivered the next day on Sunday. They purchased the hose separately to be hooked up to the kitchen. I received a call from the deliverymen about 9:30 am Sunday morning and was very happy. However, when the men brought the dishwasher inside my home, to my dismay, it was dripping wet all over my hardwood floors. My daughter and I immediately asked why it was dripping like that. Both men replied that the machine is tested in the warehouse prior to delivery. I responded "really? I have never heard of such a thing!" I asked them to leave it in the kitchen so that my husband could get rid of the old one and hook up the new one. Not only was I upset about the dripping water all over my floors, they also gave my daughter a hose for a washing machine instead of for a dishwasher. We had to return to the store to get the right hose.
Upon my arrival, I asked to speak with the manager. A manager named ** approached me and I explained to him about the washer being delivered dripping wet from the box and when I opened the box, the dishwasher was also wet with some slippery substance. He said this was common as the washers are always tested prior to delivery. I told him this was unacceptable as it appeared that the washer was used by someone else or that it was a floor sample. He denied both and decided to reimburse my daughters for 50% of the delivery charge. I told him that I've bought appliances from Sears in the past and have never experienced anything like this before. I told him if there was any problem with the dishwasher, that I would be calling him and/or coming back. He was apologetic and assured me that all would be okay. He also gave us the right hose for the hook up. Needless to say, I will not be buying any more appliances from P.C. Richard.

It took almost 4 hours in choosing the stuff and it was around Seven and Manager start buzzer to close the store. I saw salesperson's face and told him I will come back again. He insisted it's OK, please stay and complete the order. But the manager kept his buzzer on. Anyhow but when finalizing sales, the salesperson told me that the gas range we choose is not available, choose another one. I saw my wife's face and again we started searching for gas range within our budget. While we are looking for range, Manager kept his buzzer on. I feel awkward but instead of wasting more time I chose another range which is $300 more costlier than our fist choice. We finalized our bill and they promised us for best delivery rates and services. Then worst part starts.
They called me and my wife at our working times almost 10 times to stay home for deliveries. I requested the lady that we are working people and cannot take off without informing our employer 24 hour in advance and requested her to keep delivery schedule after 3 pm as agreed by salesman on the order date. She told me they have no shipping windows and do not know what time they will deliver the items. I tried to contact Store manager but he was even worse than her. I look like fool in my own eyes what I did. I called the manager to cancel the order. He called at my wife's phone and start doing salesmanship. Ultimately they agreed to deliver on Saturday but again with no delivery schedule.
My wife went to store before delivery to pay balance and pick up accessories. The salesman explained her how to get delivery and hand over the water pipe to her so his guys will fix at the time of delivery. She is so innocent she did not understand his sales trick. In good faith she gave the pipe to the delivery guys to fix it with new fridge. The guy told her to call a plumber to get the job done. She called the store manager and asked him why you people are not telling the truth. If we need plumber we will arrange it in advance. These people do not understand feelings of their customer. We are buying these things for our family comfort. Instead she felt happiness after getting so much stuff but actually she felt bad. She called me and share her feelings.

Purchased Kenmore dishwasher on 11/2012. Model KUDE60SXSS - cost approx. $1000. Purchased 5 year warranty at the insistence of Bob the salesman. Broke approx. 12/10/2012 - Took their service folks over a week to get there. First they told me they could get there after Xmas. I argued that I had a large crowd coming and that was too long. They came out about 12/20ish. Diagnosed as a bad control panel. 3-5 days to order part they they would call me back to schedule parts replacement. Never got a call back, finally called them after the new year. They told me there were some ticket submission issues, yada yada, they were trying to locate. A few phone calls later, I was getting frustrated, no return calls, then ultimately, no part. It was backordered.
They offered me an exchange. Surprise, they didn't have the same model anymore. So they offered me a replacement of the same purchased value. Fine, except that when I went back to the store, the replacements were (WAY) less capable. The equivalent capable machine was $600 more. And that I would have to fork up $600 (plus buy a new warranty - because the original 5 year warranty goes out with the dishwasher.) I argued with the sales guy (who got the store manager involved) telling him it was a ripoff. He told me, I could have it for $300 more. Again I said no way.
He told me prices have gone up in a year and that I got some kind of "special" deal when I bought the Kenmore (yeah special all right). He told me I was getting a steal. I didn't see it that way. I said fix the appliance. The appliance got fixed in March of 2014. 3 months without a dishwasher. OK fine its fixed. Zoom up to 8/2014 - same dishwasher breaks again. Call for service. Takes them 4 days to come out. They do. Diagnosis - bad motor. 3-5 days to order part, they will call me back. This time I call the next day, just to confirm the status. The service lady is pissed at me, like I was bothering her. She said, "The repairman told you 3-5 days for the part". I told her I had a bad experience with PC Richard Service and I just wanted to confirm. She reiterated 3-5 days. I asked what the part was (because I was not at the house when the repairman came). She didn't know, he never filled the ticket.
Anyway, she did call back the next day to reiterate that the part was a motor and it would take 3-5 days to come in and that they would call us to schedule the install. 7 days later - no phone call. So I called. She says, "Oh yeah the part is in. But we can't schedule because the ticket says it's a 2 man install." She would have to call back. The next day, she called back and scheduled an appointment for today (9/18). So today, once again, no phone call (Mind you we are taking days off of work to deal with this). I finally call today about 2:00. No one can find the repairman. They have to call me back. 6:00pm tonight, I get the phone call. They don't know what happened to the part, but it needs to be ordered. 3-5 days. I was pissed. The guy offered me again an exchange. But my model is not there. I am not paying more money for some upgrade, to the same capability I have now.
I just want my money back. PC Richard can go their way, and I will go mine. Unfortunately, I bought a new refrig there, after the DW (as I am slowly fixing the kitchen). The water dispenser had a slow drip, but we are tolerating because we don't want to deal with PC Richard poor service anymore. I will NEVER buy another appliance there again. The scam is, they sell you faulty stuff, then offer you an exchange, (and they don't have that model anymore), but the price goes up for an equivalent. NEVER AGAIN.

7/27/14--Purchased my Samsung NE597NOPBSR Range on 2/1/13. On this particular day, I was boiling water and the stove top suddenly made a very, very loud 'crack, pop' from within the range. Got an E-84 code for which I needed a service call (nothing works--but the display does for the code). 7/28/14--Called the number on my extended warranty. Told that the code tells them what part is needed and that they are out of stock--part should arrive in 3-5 business days. When part is stocked, they will call me to schedule service.

Service call scheduled for 8/14/14. 8/14/14--Service repairman very professional and even early! Took the WHOLE range apart.
Totally stumped as to why the part he was provided didn't work. Said he would order the same part over (in case the one he had was bad) plus another part that might also be the cause. I was told by him that parts will take 2-5 days to order and then I will be contacted to schedule another repair appointment. :( 8/14/14--(yes that very same day) I received an email that evening stating that my next repair appointment is scheduled for 8/28/14.

Honestly, every single person I have spoken with, including the repairman has been professional and I have no complaints with them. They are stuck with the schedule and parts story(ies) they are fed. It is the amount of TIME (and I am not feeling lucky about the next repair visit at this point) which is ridiculous and is my main complaint.

I spent more than $25,000 in last 2 years at this store for TVs and appliances. Always bought extended warranty, as they told me if I ever have a problem with any of these products just to bring it to them and they will replace it no question asked. But now that I brought my TV back for the first time, this "CLOWN" hands me the warranty brochure and tells me to read it. Also says that what the sales rep tells me is not his concern, I signed the warranty and it's my problem, I gotta wait 8 to 10 days before they decide what's wrong with it.

I then asked them if they were suppose to take my old washer and they said yes. I told them to at least disconnect the washer and move it so that I would be able to put the new washer in place. They did. I am very upset that they didn't set up the washer (which i paid for) and told me that there are only 2 hoses to hook up. Wasn't this part of my installation?

So PC Richards is run by the stupid company that determines what time a customer gets services. Thousands of dollars are resting on whether or not you get to take off from work or not.

I purchased an air-conditioner from PC Richards and also paid extra $ for the PC Richards warranty. The AC hasn't been working properly for the past three years & I've been going back & fourth trying to get PC Richards to honor the warranty. Called PC Richards Service Dept on Fri., 6/6/14 and spoke to Joe. He had AIDS Repair Service take the AC out of my house 10 days ago (Wed. 6/11/14) for repair, leaving me with no AC knowing that I have a child with chronic asthma. Now almost 1 week later (Wed. 6/18) neither company has called to give me any status of my AC. Therefore, I called PC Richards again on Tues 6/17 and asked to speak to a manager (Mike **), since the previous rep had no info in their system about my AC. Told ** that my son had an asthma attack the day before (Mon., 6/16) and I had to take him to the doctor, because he couldn't breath, since it was 90 degrees & they took our the air-conditioner, which they promised to repair or replace.
**, promised me he would call & speak to the manager at PC Richards on East 86th and arrange for me to go there and pick out a new AC. He said he would call me back the following day Wed. 6/18, by 10:30 AM with the exchange ticket #, which I need to have prior to going to the store, for and exchange. Once again, I had to call PC Richards service on Thurs. 6/19, since I never received a call back from **. I spoke to Mike ** who said ** wasn't available. Mike ** gave me the exchange ticket # but told me that I can't go to the store for to get the new AC until AID repair service brings the old AC back to my house. He said he would call AID service in the morning to find out when they can deliver the old AC & would call me back the next day.
Mike ** didn't call me back today (Fri., 6/20/14) and I called PC Richards on East 86th street & to get the direct # to AIDS repair service. I call AID repair service & spoke to Nick. He said that they couldn't bring the broken AC back to my house until they hear from PC Richards and that they won't be able to deliver the broken AC until the first or second week in July! Meanwhile, I have a child with chronic asthma, no AC and a warranty from PC Richards, which I paid extra $ that is not worth anything because they haven't fixed the problem. All I've been getting from PC Richards is a RUN AROUND!!! Please, don't purchase anything from PC Richards & Sons because they don't stand behind their product nor their warranty nor do they care about the consumer, even after telling them that I have a sick child who's health is being effected by their NEGLECT!! Please let me know if anyone can help resolve this problem and/or has any suggestions.

Was told I would have my microwave delivered and installed between 7am and 7pm. By 10am, I called and asked if they could give me a better time of delivery. I was told they would deliver by 2 pm. At 1:30pm I got a phone call from the driver to tell me he would arrive in an hour. Two o'clock came and went. After another phone call to the store, I was told I would have my delivery by 6pm. At 6pm, I called the store again and they were shocked I didn't get my delivery. After waiting from 7am to 6pm, I cancelled the delivery and rescheduled for next Saturday. Finally, I left my house at 6:20pm. The drive called the house and told my son he would deliver the microwave in one hour. My husband and I arrived back home at 9pm. And went to bed at 10:30pm. At 10:40pm we received another call from the driver and said he was on his way to deliver and install the microwave! What kind of customer service is this?

After ordering and paying fully for a very expensive refrigerator, we were dispatched a surveyor to measure access to our apartment, the building's elevator, etc., to assure that the appliance would fit. When he arrived, he lacked the specs of the new appliance, with which we had to furnish him. On the delivery day, one-half hour before the appliance was due to arrive, we learned that we had to uninstall the old one. The refrigerators weigh 700#, but our building staff was able to accomplish this. When the exceptionally crude, rude delivery team arrived, they demanded that we remove a door, which the surveyor said was not necessary. Then, they refused to remove the old refrigerator, and to deliver the new one, deeming it too difficult.
After which time we learned that we had to coordinate with an installer, who would take 2 hours to get to our address. The delivery team left, with the new equipment. Meanwhile, our old refrigerator, which had been uninstalled, had to be reinstalled, again by our building. This entire charade of mismanagement, inexcusable rudeness and complete inefficiency, which hoovered up half of a day and considerable effort on our part, caused us to cancel the order and vow never, ever to do business with this company. Oh yes, this was a $10,000 piece of equipment. Courtesy not included.

When I finally had it hung it had been a year. We turned it on to find out that the screen was cracked from the inside. I bought a 3 year agreement since I expected not to use it right away. They did nothing to help me out and told me that I should have tried the TV before leaving the store. I now see tons of reviews that claims that they sell refurbished and damaged merchandise.

Bought my daughter a laptop for xmas 2 years ago. She had it for a month and it started acting funny brought it back to the store, rude people there sent it out, but not without complaining. Got it back 3 weeks later!!! She had it for another 3 months and again started acting up, went blank, turned off and wouldn't come back on. Called and brought it in AGAIN! So another 3 weeks went by, got it back and then 2 months later same thing. They said each time they fixed the fan and the HD. I call BS!! So finally got a refund credit to buy a comparable model, DID THAT in Oct 2013. Not even 1 month it was back in acting up doing the same crap as last laptop!! Not only that but the microwave we got from them 6 months before burnt out and had to be replaced!
Anyway got laptop back, SAME THINGS FIXED yet AGAIN! Now 4 months later and lots of bs attitudes from PC Richard people, it's back in and getting yet another credit to get another laptop. But the manager says "it's the user not the store or laptop." I am not stupid I know how to use a computer as well as my daughter who is 15 and knows more than the techs they have working on them. I will NEVER buy ANYTHING from them again. They refuse to just give me my money back so I can go somewhere that has good products.

WARNING!!! P.C. Richard does not warn you of their return policy prior to your purchase. They will tell you it's posted everywhere, but it most certainly isn't. And because they won't tell you verbally before you make a large purchase I will!
"If opened and/or used, this merchandise is non-returnable and not sold on a trial basis. If any repairs are required, service will be done in accordance with the manufacturer's warranty."
This information appears only on the sales slip. It is not posted at all the registers, and the salespeople do not inform you of the policy either. They do hard sell you to get you to take out a store charge and buy service plans and technical support, but even when they know full well the merchandise has to be removed from its packaging and plugged in to determine whether it's compatible, they don't tell you the very act of seeing if the product works renders it non-returnable. In my case I was told to not only bring back the computer, but all the monitors (4) that wouldn't work with it for their service department to determine if there was indeed any problem. If they determined there was a problem, they would fix or replace the computer I had purchased. As they only carry computers from one manufacturer and I currently had a computer from the same manufacturer purchased directly from the manufacturer, with the same issues, the last thing I would want is a replacement of merchandise from that manufacturer.
Other stores have return policies that allow 15 days, and actual trial of the merchandise. GO THERE!!! It's not like you are getting particularly knowledgeable sales help at P.C. Richard. You are getting nothing but salespeople who will sell you the store if they can, inadequate customer service, and merchandise that at best may not suit your needs, at worst doesn't function properly with no recourse. No one buys over $1000 in merchandise if they are informed that the very act of seeing if it works in a situation that has been thoroughly explain to the sales help will render their purchase non-refundable. Had I been informed I would have gone elsewhere, so would most people, and so should anyone considering a large or small purchase from P.C. Richard.

So I had to wait a couple of weeks for that to come. Also the ice maker came separately after the refrigerator arrived. Then I had to set up an appt for the ice maker to be installed. Finally the ice maker got installed. Initially the ice maker was making too much ice...now it hardly makes any ice! I called for service (3 times I was put on hold and forgotten). Finally, the 4th time someone gave me the service number to call; on hold again! Now I get a person who gave me a service appt for them to come and just inspect the ice maker. If they cannot fix it, they will order one (waiting again) to be delivered to my home. Then I have to call and set up another apt for them to install the ice maker! I asked if the service staff can be somewhat proactive and just bring another ice maker with them...I was told they cannot do that! I guess that would be too easy! I will never go back to P C Richards...its back to Karl's Appliances for me!

I can't see why after being a good customer for over 15 years, that they don't stand by their word and exchange the unit that clearly they cannot repair, and why do I and my family must go without ice for this amount of time? Also, the people from customer are very rude and don't seem to care about you after the sale. This unit cost over 3,500.00 dollars and I don't think this is fair.

Said the first technician had ordered the correct part but that he had been given the wrong one. I call again and am told the right part would be in the following week, but they couldn't schedule an installation call until it actually came. I called and found out the part was on, but the first available service appointment was more than two weeks away! Either they sell a lot of defective products or they don't have enough trained technicians. My machine was under warranty so maybe I wasn't given priority because I wasn't paying for the service. Doubt I will ever buy from them again. They say they "service what they sell" but only if you're willing to wait forever for them to show up.

I waited all day for them to come and install them on Tuesday. They did not come. They did not call. At 4 pm, one of the reps finally called to tell me that they would instead be delivering between 4 pm and 7 pm that night because they got busy. Thus, I had to stay late at work to wait for them to come. They never showed up and did not return any of my texts or calls. At 9:30 pm, an installation guy called me and said he's outside my office and wanted to know if I'd come back to meet him? I told him I had already left at 9 pm when they had not shown up or returned my calls. He got annoyed and told me to call back and reschedule in the morning. I did.
Round two: I rescheduled with PC Richards and they told me they could do it the following Thursday from 8am to 10am. On Thursday morning, they didn't show up. They didn't call. I called PC Richards again and they rescheduled for 11 am to 3 pm. Again, they didn't show up. They didn't call. At 3:00 pm, I am fed up and I called to cancel my order. PC Richards claimed they are on their way and begged me not to cancel. I gave them one last chance. They finally arrived at 3:30 pm. Upon arrival, they immediately tried to sell me Plexiglas upgrades for $50. I declined. Then they told me that there was a law passed and I need $35 upgrades for a support system required in New York (this is the first time they told me this).
Ironically, they told me they do not have any on hand and I'd have to pay them in cash to go get some. I declined. The installation guy later admitted to me that it is just an upsell technique and they didn't even really need the supports. At this point, I have had enough. I head back to my office to work. Before I left him, I asked if he could please install the foam insulation that comes with the machine around the edges of the window. He said okay. About 30 minutes later, he entered my office and said he is done. I signed his receipt and he left. I then went to double check the installation. One machine had a screw sitting on top of it that he failed to screw in. (I had specifically told him to make sure all the screws went in because we had not purchased the extra $35 supports.)
Also, he had not installed any of the foam on any of the machines, even after I had double-checked that he would. He had left the foam on top of each machine. I can only assume he figured I would do it myself. Not only had we paid $350 per air conditioner, but we had also paid $150 per machine for installation. He literally opened the window, set it on the ledge, closed the window and screwed in three screws for $150?! I regret shopping at PC Richards and definitely regret paying for installation.

It's a total scam in everything before, during and after the sale (as they say). First and foremost, they opened multiple credit cards in my name without my knowledge, saying that I was simply being sent a "new card" and blatantly lied to my face as the salesman reassured me that my credit was not being run, which should be illegal if it isn't already. And from other complaints I've read, this has apparently been going on for some time as well as there have been charges of the misuse and theft of personal information. Additionally, they attempted to insidiously and grotesquely overcharge me taking advantage of a customer's kind nature and reluctance to be forced into haggling and arguing.
I was told that I was getting a discount and free warranty when, in fact, I came to discover that I had paid far more for the item than I would have paid at any of their competitors. So much for their price guarantee. All they do is jack up prices and make you feel as if you're getting a discount, and despite their supposed "love" for the local community, they have been ripping people off for years - lies and trickery. Also, they talked me into buying an open box Blu-ray player which I was open to. After all, who doesn't want to save a few bucks as long as it's all in working order? The salesman assured us over and over again that it was just a damaged box and it had never left the store. However, when I arrived home and hooked it up, I saw that it had been registered already and the menu popped up as "Mary's Blu-ray player."
It just goes to show you the kind of people they have working in these stores, the kind that will lie to you and say whatever is needed to take your money and get you out the door. Frustrated after finding it cheaper elsewhere and being lied to about the credit card and the Blu-ray, I decided to cancel my order. When I attempted to cancel my order at the Bayside location, I was left waiting, staring at the clock and missing a previous engagement I had while the utterly incompetent employees passed the buck up the chain of command.
When I was finally addressed, I was met with the general manager's rolling eyes and spoken down to disrespectfully (So bad in fact that the only halfway decent human being for an employee in the building had taken it upon himself to apologize for the actions of his peers and managers). Also, the sales people on the floor gathered to watch as if my wife and I were some sort of spectacle. The entire staff was completely rude and unprofessional, from the girl chattering on her cell phone playing with her nails ignoring customers to the sales staff and especially management.
From what I understand, this is a very old company and was founded in good faith and pride in the care for the customer. Whoever runs the company now however should be ashamed to have disgraced the good faith of their founder for he surely is rolling over in his grave. I will never step foot into that pit of thieving, conniving, shiftless snake oil salesmen ever again. Management acts as if they are too good to deal with you and arrogantly strut about the store as if they believe they are Wall Street big shots. As we were trying to work out my issue, the sales people on the floor surrounded us with arms crossed and whispering amongst each other leaving us to feel even more pressured.
My wife said it was one of the most uncomfortable situations she had ever been in, not to mention the creepy ogling and staring. They clearly must make many women feel uncomfortable, and no man should let his wife go there alone. The salesmen, smelling of cigarette smoke, had a predatory look in their eyes and dealing with them makes you feel as if you're at a back room poker game. Upper management in this corporation should be thoroughly embarrassed and I pray that not all the locations bare any resemblance to this one. The total lack of character and respect in management has surely rubbed off on the lower level employees as this has been the single worst experience I have ever had as a consumer. Before any others are treated in this fashion, corporate management should absolutely re-analyze practices at this location and get rid of the people running that store. It was totally unbelievable.

I had a similar experience as other posters. I called PC Richards to fix a Maytag washer. It took them 5 days to get out here. The guy came and tried to tell me that the problem was that we used too much soap. Nice try. When I added clothes and ran it while he stood there, the machine started spewing water out the back. Then he told me it's just the hot water that's affected and I could use the cold. But I didn't want him ordering the wrong part. So I made him stay and watch the cold cycle - same thing - water out the back. He finally said it needed a new valve and that it was in stock and he would call me. No dice.
A week later (I was away), I called them. The woman on the phone practically congratulated me that the part was in stock. That seemed like a ploy since he already told him it was in stock. But she couldn't schedule an appointment until she talked to the scheduler. Another ruse. When she called me back, she told me that it would be another week because they needed to send two men since the machines are stacked. "If you want to take the machines apart, we will send one man out earlier. We take the machines apart as a courtesy." As a courtesy! I guess we are now required to be mechanics because they run a lousy business. Everyone thinks they are doing you a favor when you already paid them for a service. It happens every time someone gets paid in advance.
I still think that the extended warranty was worth it despite the fact that they run a really poor repair company and it's taken 3 weeks to get this resolved. (They are due in two days and I've had to do laundry twice in the Laundromat.) If you had someone come out to fix it with parts and labor, it can add up to many times the cost of the warranty for one call. These new machines break too easily, too much computerization, China parts, etc. Why don't people just do the right thing? Humans have turned into losers.

I had my TV for 11 months. Then all of a sudden, one day I turned it on and there was a red and blue line running down the screen. I called PC Richards Customer Service being that it was still under the factory warranty. Furthermore, a tech came out to my house within a few days and deemed my panel defective, which he then processed to order a replacement part. He told me that he was going to schedule another appointment so he or another tech can come to replace my defective screen.
As I waited and waited and never received a call, I took it upon myself and called to schedule my own appointment! The same Tech "Jim" came out and replaced the television panel. That only worked for exactly a week! As I turned my TV on the following Saturday, my whole screen was white with a variety of colored lines running down the screen; there is no sound, image - nothing. They replaced my television with a refurbished part!
As I expressed my frustration to Customer Service that Monday, they scheduled another tech to come out to evaluate the issue. They took no time to look at the TV. The only thing they said was “We need to take the TV.” My number one concern was how long will I be without a TV. They responded 1-3 weeks. As I refused, I called back Customer Service. I had to yell at the lady and demanded to speak to a Manager "Allen" out of Carteret, NJ who placed another order for a part that he said would take 3-5 business days to receive.
As I received a phone call Monday (3/4/13), a CSR stated on my voice mail that my ETA for my panel was 3/5/13 and someone will give me a call once my part is received to schedule an appointment for service. Needless to say, no one ever called me back. So I took it upon myself to call before they closed at 7:00p.m. Another CSR told me that they have no record of my part coming in and they were not able to give me an ETA until he sent an email out to the Carteret office and he would contact me once they replied.
Okay, so now I’m pissed! It has been a month going back and forth with PC Richards! I paid $1,200 for a television plus an additional $100 for an extended warranty to get a refurbished replacement panel, then to be waiting over a week when it was supposed to only take 3-5 business days for a replacement! I demanded a credit to get another television and they said they could not grant that. Well, WTF can they grant because it sure isn’t experienced technical and dependable customer service!

What they don't tell you is that they can keep you hanging almost forever ordering part one at a time, until they decide it's not cost effective to try and fix your fridge. I've had 6 service calls and still the ice maker isn't working. Every time they come out, they find one more thing to replace. The person in the service department told me there was no limit on how many times they could make you wait at home for service calls. This could go on for months it they want it to; you have no recourse. The more expensive your appliance, the less likely they are to replace it; they'll hope you finally give up I guess by replacing only one part at a time.

We were scheduled for an installation by P.C. Richards of Yonkers, NY. They made us wait all day and then the repairman said he would not install it because it was in the garage. It was P.C Richards that delivered it there in the first place. Now they say they cannot install it because we did not read the spec sheet for the fridge, which I know for a fact that they did not mention to me when we bought it. Craig ** was responsible and would not allow me to speak to anyone higher up because he said he was the boss.

I have a complaint about ** who is an employee at a PC Richard & Son located at Bay Plaza Store #56, 356 Baychester Ave, Bronx, NY 10475. I ordered a refrigerator through my grandmother's store card at $539 from this location and the total cost after taxes and delivery came out to $707.44. However, I did not realize it would not fit. When my grandmother and I arrived to this store, they did not notify us that I needed measurements first. When the refrigerator came to my apartment, the guys who were going to install the refrigerator said it will not fit. So, I had to order a smaller one, which I did over the phone. The new refrigerator cost about $490. ** said it will be an even trade. I don't see how it would be an even trade since the smaller refrigerator is cheaper. He also said he will mail me the new receipt but I have yet to receive it. I was unable to go back to the store but my grandmother went on her own to resolve this issue.
However, ** told her that it was a fair trade and that the total price will not change. ** also told my grandmother that it is still $707.44 because I was charged the delivery. He avoided the question if I was charged twice and said he didn't know. But how can he not know when he is the sole person who dealt with us pertaining to this purchase and issues? When she asked for the manager, he told her the manager and supervisor was not in today. But when I called and asked to speak with the manager or supervisor, the lady said, "Yes, he is in. Hold on, one second." I was then transferred to the manager. I started telling him my issue but he quickly interrupted me and asked who my problem was about. I told him who the person was and what it was pertaining to, then he quickly transferred me to **.
The manager avoided customer issues. What manager does that? Customers are supposed to be able to have an opportunity to resolve issues with the store manager if not able to resolve issues with the employee. The company overcharged my grandmother and that is wrong. Someone needs to be responsible for this. I wonder who else they have done this to. **'s day off is either Tuesday or Wednesday. The manager in question was working today, 12/07/2012.

I recently purchased a car stereo and speaker system for my son's car as an early Christmas gift. When I purchased the whole system, I told the salesperson that I needed the entire system so that my son could listen to music in his car (a 1991 Volvo 240) since it had no radio. I was assured that store would install the system, but I would need to purchase some additional parts, which I did. Once the parts came in, I was scheduled an installation appointment on Sunday, November 18th at 2:00 at the Manchester store. When I arrived there for my appointment, I was told rather rudely that the installer had no time to install the stereo and I would have to reschedule. I rescheduled for Wed., Nov. 21st.
When I brought the car in today, I waited 2 hours for installation which I assumed included the speakers since it was stated on my receipt. Imagine my surprise when I got the car back with no speakers! When I called the store, I was told by a manager that it was my fault that I had purchased the wrong size speakers (no one told me what size was needed and I assumed that the salesperson would tell me the correct ones) and I would have to come back yet again to purchase an entire new system with speakers since the system I bought only worked with the speakers that came with the stereo and did not fit my son's car.
Not only that, but I would also have to reschedule yet again for installation. This would make a total of four times I had to come to the store to simply get a stereo and have it installed. To be honest, this was the first and probably last time I will ever shop in your store. Not only that, but since I work with the public, I will tell people every chance I get about my terrible experience at your store. I had hoped to get my son a Christmas gift and instead got a terrible experience.

I called the store on Tuesday night and inquired if they would sell me a Sony TV for the same price offered by Sears. After 20 minutes on the phone (the associate had to discuss it with his manager), I was told they would match the Sear's price. The next morning, I went to the store to pick up my TV and was told I couldn't buy it for the price we agreed on over the phone. The manager claimed he was working the night before but knew nothing about my phone call. Another associate overheard us talking and chimed in that he was working the night before also and knew all about my phone call and the agreed price and they still wouldn't honor it. So, I left and will never shop there again. In time, they will go the same route as Circuit City, out of business!

We purchased an LG large screen TV on August 19, 2012. On October 19, 2012, it died. After numerous calls to the store manager and promises to call back, we called their headquarters in NY to complain. We finally got a call from the CT store we bought it from. We wanted a new TV but they insisted on fixing it. Almost 4 weeks later, it is still not fixed. This was our first and last purchase. Scam artists. I will use the internet to tell everyone not to buy a roll of toilet paper from them.

They do not care! Buyer beware! A word of caution, do not buy from PC Richards! They are horrible to deal with. I purchased a Whirlpool Washer (still under warranty) that takes 90 minutes plus to do a medium load. They tell me this is normal. Their manager at their Route 46 store told me it should take 35-40 minutes and that his boss (regional manager), ** would follow up with me. It's been 10 days and despite repeated calls (leaving voice mail), I have yet to hear from him. They do not care!

I bought a Friedrich's air conditioner that proved so defective and involved so much of my time wasted on waiting for often no-shows to fix it that I purchased another very expensive air conditioner. The first one was installed and had to be uninstalled because it was defective and would not work. The second one worked well for a week or so and then began to make strange noises, a complaint that was verified by a repair person. I'm awaiting the removal of the defective product and the installation of its replacement which may happen any time between 9 and 4 tomorrow. I'm deeply offended by the treatment I received at the hands of P.C. Richard's sales representatives. I can't understand why I have to wait around, again, all day for the replacement of a defective product, one they claimed to stand over. I'd strongly advise prospective customers to steer clear.
