    I scheduled a week in advance to have my garage door fixed. They called to confirm the day before and they gave me a window of 11am to 3pm for the next day. I did speak with someone who DID confirm 11a-3p. Today no one called no one showed. I called their number back at 2pm to make sure someone was coming and the woman I spoke with (Melanie) was rude and said they still had another hour. Didn't even bother to make sure the appt. was on their books. So when 3:07pm rolled around I called again. This time she said she would page the tech but was very short with me. This is the worst experience I have had with this company and I will not be doing any business with them again. 1 person called me back to say I didn't confirm the appt today. I am done with Sears, I will not buy any products or services from them.

    On May 21 I purchased a refrigerator, washer, dryer, and vacuum cleaner for my Illinois home at the Thornton, Colorado location. It was all to be delivered on June 6. On June 6 at 6:00 am we were woken by the telephone ringing; it was Sears delivery in Romeoville, Illinois to let us know they did not have our refrigerator so were not going to deliver anything today. Well, we're going out next week! No fridge? No washer and dryer? No Vacuum? I got on the phone and after 6 1/2 hours still did not know when or if I could get a refrigerator so was forced to cancel the entire order.

    I was lucky enough to find the same fridge and a nicer washer and dryer locally and they will deliver on Tuesday, one week from now. Only thing is we'll be there on Sunday, June 11, and won't have a fridge for two days and now we have to spend an entire day of our short vacation dealing with delivery men. This is not right and we were treated very badly. Sears really screwed us over and after shopping with them for our appliances, tools, and lawn and garden tools for forty years, we will never shop with them again. We were going to buy a second fridge this summer for our Colorado house! Not now. They've lost a very good customer.

    Purchased a refrigerator from Sears Appliance Showroom on Monday, May 29th and after being told I could not pick one up at store since there was none available and it would take till the following week, I selected delivery and was told it would be delivered on Sat. June 3rd. On Friday evening was informed that my delivery would be here on Sat between 2 and 4 pm. At 9:46 am on Sat was left a message that the refrigerator isn't on the truck and would be rescheduled for Wed., thru or Sat of next week. When I returned the call I could not believe how rude and ignorant the rep was and when asked to speak to her supervisor simply put me on hold to get me off the phone.

    I then called the store where I purchased the item and was told there was nothing they could do about it and hey there is one in the stockroom brand new do I want to pick it up? Couldn’t believe he just said that when that is what I wanted to do on Monday instead of going almost a week without a fridge. Apparently it was there at the store the whole time. No “sorry about this”, no refunds issued, nothing. Worst customer service. I had intended on purchasing a dishwasher and microwave but that is definitely not happening now. Don’t know when my purchase will ever be delivered!! Don’t buy anything you need delivered!!!

    I ordered 2 washer parts from Sears, at a higher price than other online vendors, because I trusted the Sears brand name and assumed the higher price was worth it for better service. DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE. Sears sent me 2 parts, but one was the WRONG part. Customer service was RUDE and INCOMPETENT. They now tell me the part is on back-order for 2 weeks. I shouldn't be able to buy overnight delivery if the part isn't available for 2 weeks!! I ordered the exact same part from Amazon, for half the cost, and next day delivery. Goodbye, Sears.

    It's obvious why Sears, a former pioneer in quality appliances, is closing stores at such a rapid pace. Now even their service programs, such as their Sears Home Warranty (appliances) service is basically a fraud. Do not waste your money on this service; it's a scam. I have been paying $42 a month for over two years for a "Sears Home Warranty" kitchen appliance warranty plan where they advertise that they will repair or replace the appliance. Yet when my six-months old washer started making noise, like a jet plane, during the spin cycle; the 'repair was not covered' and they wanted almost the full price of the washer to repair it! They would not replace the washer because it still 'worked'; we would have to grin and bear the noise.

    A year ago, it took two service calls to get a less than $1.00 micro-switch replaced on my water dispenser; the tech actually tried to fix the $1.00 switch on the first visit! Now, two weeks ago the compressor of my $2,500 JennAir refrigerator went bad. The affiliated technician which Sears sent diagnosed it as unrepairable and recommended that the refrigerator be replaced, but someone in Sears back office decided to fix it. A week later, they sent the technician the compressor but he refused to install it because it is not a normal business process. Sears then handed my service call to another local affiliated technician who also refused it for the same reason.

    Now, since their local affiliated techs won't fix it, Sears Home Warranty wants me to contact JennAir service directly and pay them for the repair out-of-my-pocket. They will then refund me up to $85 for the service call and will only cover $327 towards the parts and labor of the repair; the rest will be my problem. If the Jenn-Air service techs diagnose the refrigerator as unrepairable all that Sears Home Warranty will cover towards a new refrigerator will be $327 when I have paid them over $1,000 during the years that I have had the Sears Home Warranty plan.

    $327 will barely cover the tax on a new refrigerator; where does the 'repair it or replace it' advertisement come into play! Net-Net; we have not had a refrigerator for 14 days in a household with four children ages 1-8 and a 92-year old senior. And all that Sears Home Warranty will do now is to give me JennAir's service number! Don't waste your money; stay away from this plan!

    I am so upset with this "Sears Home Warranty" crap of service. I am really starting to believe that this is a scam to get people's hard earn money. I called this past Saturday to schedule for someone to come out here to take a look at my stove, dryer and fridge. I was giving a number for a company for me to call and set an appointment with. I called the company, spoke to a "technician," kept promising he would come by but never did. It is now Thursday and I have not heard from him. I decided to call Sears back to find out if they had other techs available. This is where I lost it. I kept getting transferred around & hung up on.

    When I finally got a live person she insisted that there were 3 claims open and that someone from the same company I called would contact me. I told her that I did not want to deal with the same company because of their lack of keeping appointments and in the middle of my conversation I got hung up on! So I decided right then and there to cancel with Sears. I called back and I got the same treatment as before. Transferred here or call there.

    This had been a very stressful day for me when you call somewhere and you have to speak with an automated system and can't get a live person to say, "Sure you need help? Let me help you" or "You would like to cancel? No problem." My last resort is to go to my bank and put a stop payment of which they take $50 out of my account every month and write a letter to them of an unsatisfied customer. I hope people read this before they agree to this service.

    I called and made a service appointment. I received a confirmation. The day before I received a confirmation. Day of service receive a confirmation. My husband took off work to be there for the service man. I received an email my appointment was extended by an hour for the window time. I called, they placed me on hold. They told me that my appointment was terminated because their service man called out sick. I was willing to accommodate and told them that it would ok if another technician could come later into the day or night. They told me no. I told them we lost a days pay. They offered me a 20% discount and told me they can rescheduled me for June 5. I told them no one could take off work and that we already lost a days pay. I was told that all they could do.

    The service rep was very rude... totally disregarding my situation which he turned around and made his situation. I asked to speak to a supervisor. While I was put on hold the original person was emailing me a confirmation for June 5 appointment which I never agreed to. They were not any help either. I called a Corporate office 800-820-3342. They were useless. They have no regard for their customers. If I didn't call my husband would have sat there and we were never notified. Such a shame that once was a good company has gone down the toilet.

    Horrible customer service experience! The touchpad on my two year old electronic range failed to display the proper temperature for one of the elements. After contacting Sears I was given a claim number and the phone number for a local repair company. When the repairmen showed up at my house they were far from professional looking in their appearance and were not sure how to turn on the range. My husband told them to leave and he was not paying them the $60.00 deductible for their visit. I called the local repair service company and asked them to order the part and to please send other service technicians on the next visit. After three weeks went by and I never heard back from this company. I called them back to see about the installation of the replacement part. It wasn't in yet. When the part did come in it was not the correct part!

    Next, another service technician came out to take a look at the range to order the correct part. However, the local service company could not find the correct part and required assistance from Sears. Once the part was identified the local service company had to place a request with Sears to order the part! This approval process apparently takes a great deal of time. I called the local service company to see if the part had come in and it had not.

    I called two weeks after and was told that it just came in and they would send out a technician to fix it the next day. The service technician arrived and advised me he did not like the way one of the ribbon connectors on the new part looked and with my permission wanted to use the same part from the old part to use inside the new part. He assured me that the ribbon connector had nothing to do with the problem the range was experiencing so I told him to do what he thought best. I was not going to wait another month for another part that could have the same problem. It took three hours for the technician to replace the touchpad on the range.

    Today I called Sears to cancel my warranty and was on hold for 21 minutes before I was sent to an automated customer service survey about my experience with the service rep (I never spoke with anyone!). I was then disconnected. I called back and was on hold for another 13 minutes before I finally reached someone who cancelled the warranty for me. Overall, this was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Do yourself a favor and do not sign up for a Sears Home Appliance Warranty. No wonder Sears is going out of business.

    I purchased 15-Inch 5.5A Electric Line Trimmer from Sears Home Store in Fayetteville, GA on July 1, 2016. It never worked. The line for cutting would not advance. I called your Customer Care Hotline on yesterday, May 31, 2017 and was advised to take the item to Sears in Southlake for repair or replacement. The person I spoke to was Anne and she stated the item was still under warranty. I drove several miles to Southlake and was told by an employee there that the item was not under warranty. According to page 2 of the Operator's Manual the warranty is for 2 years.

    While at Sears Southlake I called Customer Care and was transferred numerous times; no help. I called Sears Corporate and talked to a representative there for 32 minutes; she then advised me to call another department. One employee disconnected the call while I was talking. Finally, after 2 hours someone at Sears Corporate told me the item was not under warranty. How does Sears expect to remain in business with such poor customer service? I might order parts from Sears but I doubt if I will ever purchase anything from Sears again.

    We bought a mattress in March. A little more than a week before the sixty day warranty period was up, we called in to say the mattress would not work. We thought we would try and exchange and they gave us a case number. It took about 10 days to find time to go in to a store to check out an exchange, but we did go in. Checked out other mattresses and did not find one to work for our circumstances so we wanted to return it. When we called back they now said it was past the 60 days and would not take the return. Since we originally called in with the problem before the 60 days, that's when the clock should have stopped. No one told us we had to call AGAIN before the warranty period was up. Do not trust Sears as they do not honor their warranties. We will never buy from them again. There are too many other places that do honor their warranties.

    I have been paying for the home warranty service from Sears for over 4 years. That is $43 a month. I have had my refrigerator repaired and had to wait a month but I thought that was because it was an expensive part. I called because my LG dishwasher is leaking and I'm told I have to wait over 2 weeks for an appointment and I have to pay a $75 deductible. At $43 a month I pay $516 a year for this service. I can buy a new dishwasher and have it installed faster and cheaper than I can get a service call from Sears. I could have called any local repair company and get faster service and not pay for a monthly home warranty. THIS HOME REPAIR WARRANTY IS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THIS!!!

    I recently became a mother this year and as a gift, my mother purchased me a Sterling silver/diamond "mom" necklace that was priced originally at $149.99 & was on sale for $89.99 during the Mother's Day sale. Upon opening the box before even taking it out the chain ripped. It was the cheapest quality I had ever seen. I called Sears & went in the store and NO ONE helped me return it because we misplaced the receipt and didn't have a proof of purchase.

    I finally got a hold of corporate and a rude customer service representative hung up on me in anger as I was speaking. I am completely appalled. The representatives truly lack respect. The necklace is also being sold in store and online but they refuse to fix it or exchange it for a new one even when I said I would provide pictures/videos or mail it to them for exchange of a non damaged one. $100 went down the drain. I was a customer of over 15 years and I will no longer be supporting Sears ever again and will be telling my family & friends too so they don't get treated horribly like I did.

    We contacted Sears to do their annual service call under our Purchase Extended Warranty. We were told the tech would be here between 8am-5pm (May 3) so the whole day would be used for waiting on the tech. Sears did send an email morning of the scheduled appointment giving us a 2 hour window. Thank goodness we are retired and do not work! The tech came, looked over the treadmill and said he had to order three parts and scheduled another appointment 2 weeks later (May 17) between 8am-5pm to install the parts. The tech came, installed the parts and left never asking us to try the treadmill so we assumed he did. My husband started the treadmill shortly after the tech left and the incline went up and down without stopping and that was just from turning the machine on. Finally it stopped inclining so he got on and tried to change the speed. The machine made a loud noise and abruptly stopped almost throwing my husband who is 80 years old.

    Everything shut down, it did not even have electric going in it. We called Sears again. They scheduled another appointment 7am-5pm. The tech came and looked at it and said he needed to order all the parts again plus another part and it would take 2 weeks and scheduled another appointment for June 7 for 8am-5pm. The tech said he tried the treadmill before he left and it worked perfect. I have trouble understanding that because as soon as we turned it on it wasn't working correctly. It is sad that all we needed was the annual check up on a working machine that now doesn't work. The Customer Service is awful. Every time I called the first call is strangely disconnected and I need to call back. I will say Customer Service Rep. Linda was very compassionate but could do anything. We are now at the mercy of Sears and the Tech.

    I am so disgusted and disappointed in Sears. I not only will not be shopping there I am sharing my experience with all acquaintances. The tech always gave a receipt when he was leaving, however, the last time he said his computer was down and could not print one. I have contacted Sears 3 different times and still no receipt for the last visit! We were told when we purchased the extended warranty that if the tech could not fix the product we would get a new upgraded model. Come to find out that is not the case. Totally disgusted with Sears. At one time Sears was a reliable company. Not any more!

    Our 5 year old water heater we bought from Sears started leaking. When I called they said it had a 12 year warranty if it had to be replaced, but they couldn't get someone there to look at it for 2 weeks. I told them this was unacceptable to go without hot water for 2 weeks. They didn't care. I told them I would just call a plumber in our area, and they said the warranty would only cover a Sears technician. Such a scummy way for Sears to try to get out of a warranty! It gets worse.

    I called and had a local plumber fix it the next day - just replaced a part. When I called Sears back to get a copy of our warranty, I talked to at least 7 people in different departments and they all said there was no record of a warranty. I finally found it in our owner's manual. We do have a 10 year warranty that not only covers replacement, but repair! This company and the people working there are scumbags! They will obviously go to great lengths to get out of upholding their end of a warranty. No wonder they are a sinking ship!

    Purchased two dresses on April 22. Went to return on May 15th. Store was closed. Closed at 7:00. I work until 6:00. Couldn't get there during the week. May 26th was first available day to get to store early. Would not give in store credit or let me return them due to them having a 30 day return item policy that I was unaware of them having. Never once did I ask for my money back, just the opportunity to exchange for another item. Cashier should have told me that when I purchased the item. Didn't see anything posted about return policy... This will be my last purchase in Sears or Kmart. Sorry.

    I have been taken aback today!!! Customer service at its worst. I have a Kenmore washer/dryer combo. The dryer element went out 3 weeks ago. On the day I called was told the technician would be out between 8 and 5 the following day. Got a call at noon that he had called in sick and they would have to reschedule for the next week. The next week technician showed up, replaced the thermostat and said he would have to order the heating element and be back the next week. New technician came out last week and took dryer completely apart. He replaced the heating element, told us he worked on these things every day, was a bad investment, and we needed to buy an extended warranty.

    As he was trying to get the drum back in, he had to call another technician who instructed him that he would have to take the top off the unit and replace the drum that way. When I started the dryer the next morning it was making an unbalanced awful sound. I immediately called Sears and told the gentleman on the phone. He assured me I would have a technician at my door today between 8 and 5. WELL, at 3:00 something said to call. I did and the girl informed my technician was about 15 minutes away. At 4:45 I received a call from a technician that informed me that he would be unable to come service my dryer. I instantly received a text that it would be 6/5/2017 before someone would be here. I am BEYOND upset!!!

    After a few phone calls and a few people I did not understand I called the local store. I did receive some uplifting news from a manager and a new American phone number. I called and spoke with a gentleman that once again confirmed the next available service date to be 6/5/2017. I informed him "That would not work, I needed it tomorrow." He put me on hold and came back to inform me he had requested for the next available service time to be mine 6/5/2017. I am DONE with Sears. I know this does not mean a lot to them, but where has the customer deserves service gone? My house almost caught on fire due to the error of their service technician! He replaced the drum incorrectly and the screws fell out. Come on, is this what we have come to? This machine is not even a year old!

    Whole House Warranty and Appliance Repair - This pains me to say, because I grew up with Sears. Our house was (still is) filled with Kenmore Appliances, my car has a DieHard battery, my shop, like my father's, is full of Craftsman Tools. When I was a kid, the highlight of the year was the arrival of the Sears Christmas Catalogue. WTF happened to this once great company? We bought a new oven from Sears 5 years ago. It recently conked out. We called Sears Appliance Repairs (with whom we'd always had good luck and good service). A repair appt. was scheduled, with a 4-hour "window" for the repairman. The day came. I waited. No repairman. Toward the end of the day, I got a call. The repairman had called in sick. It happens. Appt. reset.

    Again I waited. No repairman. When the day was over (and the "window" long closed) and an entire day utterly wasted, I got hold of Sears. They'd check. An hour later (i.e. another wasted hour), the repairman called. Seems things had run a bit long and, naturally, it was now too late to honor the appt. Appt. reset (they assured me that, having been "stiffed" twice, I was "guaranteed" a visit the next time). Once more, the appointed day came and I waited. And waited. And waited. With an hour and a half left in the day, I got a call, "the repairman is on his way." Oh, goody. And then I waited. And waited. AND finally, with less than 15 minutes left, the repairman showed up, plugged in his diagnostic machine, spent 5 minutes logging the result and told me he needed to order some parts and it will be another week (we've already been without an oven for almost two weeks, but what are you gonna do?).

    So, an appt. is made a week hence. 3 days later, incidentally, the parts arrive at our house. And, finally, the day of the appt. arrives (in the meantime, I might note, as with all the other times, my "Inbox" is exploding with appt. confirmations, cautioning me to be there during the appointed "window", which, incidentally, is seldom consistently reported, and I am also the favored recipient of multiple computer generated calls reminding me of the appt.). And as before, I waited. And waited. And waited. This time, however, rather than give Sears the benefit of the doubt, the moment the "window" expired, I called Sears Home Service, where I was greeted by a robot which assured me that I could talk to it "just as tho' (it was) a person..." - what it didn't say was that I was talking to a very dimwitted person which only had one answer to every question and every phrasing thereof.

    Finally I asked it to do something which was actually within its competence, namely that it "connect me to a representative". Then I found out why Sears felt it needed to hire a dimwitted robot... Seems the robot was the only one with any answers, even if it was always the same non-responsive one. Long story short, I was endlessly shuttled from one person to the next, with copious (COPIOUS) wait times listening to ghastly music between each representative, each of whom would oblige me to answer the same extensive series of questions over and over again, only to ultimately decide that I needed someone else to assist me (my only question, I might note, was "where's my serviceman", which, seemingly, is a very, very complex issue requiring not less than 6 different departments to handle).

    Of course, the sheer number of different accents and native tongues (none of which, I might note, was English) did add some interest to the process, tho', by then, I was, perhaps too frustrated to fully appreciate it all. Finally, a nice lady (who sounded suspiciously like the first person I talked to - at least she was every bit as incomprehensible as that one) agreed to send an email to the people who were actually supposed to do the repair to find out where the serviceman was (yes, I know, that's kind of what I had asked originally). 30 minutes later (half of it spend on the phone waiting because the nice lady forgot to tell me that I didn't need to wait and that the service people would call me directly...), I got a call from the folks who actually do the repair work. Seems that I somehow didn't get on their schedule.

    So sorry (maybe some of those helpful reminders which Sears kept sending me might have been more helpfully directed to the other essential party to the transaction). I'm set to try again a week from now. Anyone care to guess how that one's gonna turn out? Look, mistakes happen. I understand that. What I don't understand is institutional incompetence. That, as near as I can tell, is all that Sears has to offer anymore. Maybe it's time to change my brand loyalties.

    Don't ever buy any appliances from Sears. Been roughly 2 months waiting to get repairs done to a brand new (less than a year old) refrigerator. From incorrect diagnosis, wrong parts orders to worst, missed scheduled and confirmed appointments (this was the second time I had to take off from work). All I've been getting is lots of "I'm sorry". Caution to those needing appliances - DO NOT BUY FROM SEARS. BEWARE... you will find yourself posting to their site and on the phone frustrated with their "customer service reps" just like I am at this very moment.

    Don't call them to repair anything. They won't fix it, but will be happy to charge you. The repair man wasn't even gone 5 minutes and I called them to tell them he didn't fix my dryer, and they say, "Well we are sorry to hear this. We can reschedule for him to come back in 2 weeks."

    It is beyond shame and reason to think that an install delivery team would steal from the homeowner, but, did they? All I know is on Sunday I had $1,400.00 in cash and then the team of two men came on Monday...and then I didn't. I can certainly account for the one installer's whereabouts. He was in my basement with me making the most inappropriate comments and I quote, "WELL YOU'RE RICH", and, "IF YOUR DOG COMES DOWN HERE I'LL SHOOT IT". I asked about the whereabout of the other and I was told that, "HE SITS IN THE TRUCK AND LOOKS PRETTY". Yes, I certainly was played on here. I am a single woman, 60's with disabilities who foolishly left what was sacred her home open to G-d knows what? I also had to have an additional team come back later because the install was done so poorly and mistakes that needed to be undone.

    Does SEARS care? ARE YOU KIDDING...I am just concerned for my very life...I will never get my money and G-D only knows what this ROUGH TRADE can and could do to me now. All over a washer and dryer. Warning ladies - have a man or a friend present. Your life and your safety may depend on it. Sears contracts their help and their customer service is all in Asia. I wish I was spared from this awful experience. This is just really wrong.

    Sears Home Warranty is nothing but big scam. We have made 2 claims and both times they come to our house, collect deductible and a month later they claim it is not covered in our plan. One of the 2 times they changed their mind after they gave us 2 months of runaround. Do not waste your time or money with Sears. At this rate they will go out of business.

    Just cannot believe this company that once was so reliable has come to this. I used Sears for more than 28 years. Last 3 years the changes made me wonder, but what can I say? I am so loyal and was trying to be one of the customers that support and did not wanted to see this company go done, I have master protection with them for over 15 years. Most of my appliances was purchase from them. Make a story short, I HOPE SOMEONE FROM CORPORATE WILL CHECK THE COMPLAINTS AND FIX THEM BEFORE LOSE LOYAL CUSTOMERS LIKE ME.

    My dishwasher broke. I paid over $2100 for double door dishwasher. The tech try to fix it for more than 6 visit, then he told me, "You have a right to ask us to replace it or still try to fix it." My husband convince me to say replace it. They gave me a receipt or claim number. 3 days later I got a call saying that I can go ahead to Sears and pick up a dishwasher for under $600!!! I was shock. Master Protection Agreement is to replace it for exact same thing or same value.

    I went to Sears. They did not have any KITCHENAID dishwasher for that price. I call the department saying I want same dishwasher, they said Sears won't carry that because it's too expensive. But there is another no name brand that has double washer. I can pick that one if I want to. Make the story short I call them so many time to accept, coming back and fixing it. Finally they came. Problem is not fixed yet BUT AS I SAID I WAS SO LOYAL, I decided to only use bottom draw and forget about the top draw. THEN DECIDED TO CHANGE MY APPLIANCES again like a -- person. I go back to Sears. I got the range. Came damage. I call the company, they were trying to convince me to keep it with 20% discount. I said NO, but I felt they knowingly send me damage one because the rep was not even asking me proper question.

    WORSE I did purchase a refrigerator, this time I ask them to take it from the box before they even deliver to the house, guess what same thing. Refrigerator had a big dent in front of it SO I REFUSE TO TAKE IT. I said to them, "First shame on you. Second shame on me." But guess what, they did not return my credit to the credit company. Their last word was, "We have no idea where is the refrigerator. Therefore cannot give you credit back." I waited 10 days. Finally got credit company involve and got the money back. ALL I CAN SAY. JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THIS COMPANY THAT ONCE WAS THE LEADER, RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY HAS COME TO THIS.

    After purchasing a number of appliances over the years from Sears I can say that I will never purchase another. I needed my dishwasher repaired. They gave me a ridiculous 4-hour window and as I tracked my appointment throughout the day the technician pushed it further back. I called to ensure that he was still coming and a customer service rep said it was still a valid and open appointment and that I could continue to wait. The technician never showed nor called and rescheduled my appointment without my knowledge to a day that did not work for me. Customer solutions was of no help. They could not give me an appointment that works with my schedule nor did they attempt to shorten the wait time window. I would have expected better service from all parties involved. Especially from the technician who never called and left me waiting for 7 hours on a day I had to take off from work. Sears gets an F for professionalism and customer service!!

    Dish Washer Repair - Looking at all of these reviews, it seems as if writing this one is a waste of my time. But here it goes anyway. I have never written a review in my life. I've worked in restaurants, customer service, sales, etc. and I know how unbelievably frustrating it is when some miserable person just wants something to complain about. So I don't write reviews, because there is always two sides to a story. But I assure you, this is not the case.

    My dishwasher heating coil warped and melted a hole in the bottom of the tub. The repair guy came out, looked at it, and ordered a new heating coil and new tub. He said he would be back between 1 pm and 5 pm on Friday, May 19 2017. I took off of work with no pay to be there. It was storming that day so I called around 2:30 just to make sure he was still coming. The automated message said my appointment had now switched to between 4:30 and 6:30. Whatever, no big deal.

    6:20 rolls around so I call and now speak to a representative. She tells me that he will be there between 12:30 and 4:30 pm. It was 6:20 pm! How could he possibly be here within that time slot? From that point on, she had extreme attitude with me. She put me on hold and when she came back she said that I had been marked down as "Nobody home" and it was my fault for not being there. I was home all day. I never once left my house. She then said she wouldn't be able to reschedule my appointment until late June. When I told her that was unacceptable, she said well I have time available on Wednesday, May 24 between 7 and 11. So I said ok let's do that and she said ok thank you have a nice day and PRETENDED to hang up on me. She put me on mute. I said, "Hello?" about 5 times before she came back on and said, "Yes, how can I help you?" so I said never mind and just got off the phone.

    Today is Wednesday, May 24. I took off today again with no pay. The repairman showed up at 10:20 am and as soon as he saw the boxes that were delivered to my house he started laughing. I asked him what was funny and he said that there was no way that was the tub because the box was too small. He opened the box and laughed again and said, "Yep this is a rack". He felt awful, so I guess that counts for something. But now he is coming back on Tuesday, May 30 and I will have to take off work AGAIN with no pay. For the THIRD TIME.

    I called customer service and got "Accidentally hung up on"... Nobody called back. So when I called again I asked to speak to a supervisor and she would not transfer me until I explained the situation to her. When I explained the entire situation, she said, "Well it's 10:50. He still has 10 minutes to show up." She didn't listen to anything I said! I explained again that he already showed up and so on and so forth. Finally I said, "Listen you clearly aren't understanding me. Please just transfer me to a supervisor".

    When I got on the phone with the supervisor after about a 10 minute holding time, I explained the situation. She seemed outraged at first. Then when I said I paid for these new parts that were supposed to be replaced last Friday, at the end of this, I will have taken 3 unpaid days off work, and I will have been without a dishwasher for over a month. She said to me, "We'll just have someone come over for you on Tuesday." So let me get this straight. You're now telling me to inconvenience someone else because of your company's mistakes?!?! I told her I wanted at least a discount on the items I purchased and she told me there was nothing she could do. The only thing she could do was send me a gift card to Sears. That gift card amount? $50. I make $200 a day and I will have missed 3 days. That's $600 I'm out of because of you and your way of showing me customer service is $50?!?! Are you kidding me?!

    It's not even about the money. Keep the $50 gift card, I don't need it. It's the fact that throughout this entire process, I've been hung up on, I've been lied to, I've been accused of not being home when I was. I've been sent the wrong parts, and I've been made to take 3 days off of work, and for some reason. Not one of you cares enough to do anything about it. Nothing. If my company did that to one of our customers, those people would be fired and the customer would receive some type of apology. Don't ever forget that the customers are the people that make you your money. Judging by these reviews and how pretty much everyone has had terrible experiences, I'm assuming you forgot that a long, long time ago. I will never purchase another product made by Sears again. This was an incredibly infuriating experience. Can't wait to see what kind of nonsense I have to go through next week! Thanks for absolutely nothing.

    I think it's a total ripoff Sears only offers a 90-day warranty on their repair service. I had service done on my 3-year-old Kenmore 3-door refrigerator freezer, spent almost $300, and almost 5 months to the day it's having the exact same issue. It's like either they sell you crap parts or didn't fix the problem correctly then after 3 months expect you to pay full price for the same work. I'm done with the scam.

    We purchased from Sears a new Kenmore Elite electric double-wall oven Model # 79048459 in December, 2016 for our remodeled kitchen. In all instances, when trying to broil chicken, beef, or fish in our top oven, the oven generated so much smoke and grease that our fire alarms (located about 20 feet away between two rooms) would go off. We contacted Sears, and their experienced technicians came to our home and essentially replaced all of the electrical components in our oven and the heating coil. After this was completed, we placed a 1 inch steak on a professional broiling pan in the top oven at 550 degrees, and lowered the rack position to 4 according to the Sears manual for this oven and in less than 4 minutes in the oven (without even opening the door of the oven) the smoke being blown out of the top of the oven was so dense that our fire alarms went off once again.

    The Sears' technicians noted this on their report. The steak in less than 4 minutes had thrown grease all over the oven walls, had an excessive amount of smoke in the oven when we opened it, and was cooked well-done in less than 6 minutes without even turning the steak over. We asked Sears to replace the oven, telling them that the oven runs too hot for us to control it. They declined to do so, and told us we needed to reschedule another appointment with the technicians, and assured us in an email that the oven would be fixed. The same technician returned this month (May, 2017) to try to repair our oven. He told us there was nothing further he could do to correct the problem and told us to put foil over the meat when broiling to cut down on the amount of grease and smoke.

    Inside the oven it tells you not to use foil, which I reminded him of. Then he suggested that we lower the broiling temperature to 500 degrees and once again follow the directions in the Sears manual for broiling a 1-inch steak. Again, we placed the steak on the same broiling pan in the top oven (which my wife had already cleaned), but this time lowered the rack to the #2 position, which is a "baking" position and after 6 minutes opened the oven to turn the steak over and grease was flying everywhere (even on me), the smoke generated once again caused our fire alarms to go off. But I continued the process, and after 4 minutes broiling on the second side of the steak, we removed the steak to see that the exterior of the steak is charred and the interior of the steak is completely rare (uncooked).

    We have broiled chicken at the lower temperature of 450 degrees and the same issues. The oven is so hot, that the amount of smoke generated is so severe that we can smell the odors in our second storey bedrooms. The amount of grease thrown all over the oven worries us that the oven could potentially catch on fire. Again, we asked Sears to replace the oven, which they have declined to do. We have used the oven less than a dozen times in 5 months. Who would want to cook with this oven knowing that the fire alarms are going to go off each time, and that they will have to clean the excessive amount of grease all over the oven each time. There is no doubt that this oven is too hot to handle.

    One of last solutions the technician gave us was to simply bake everything in our oven, rather than use the broiler. Sears refuses to replace the oven and after 4 repairs, still insist that a technician come to our home again to assess the problem, which by the way is a 4-hour window that they hold you captive for each time. It's interesting, that when we purchased the oven in Dec., 2016 that the rating given by Sears on the oven for their website was a 4-5 star. If you check it today, it has no rating. I wonder why?

When placing the order AGAIN - the prices went up and they would not honor orig. and also refused to refund my gift card. What kind of business does this these days!!!

Of Course. The CS (Sharsta) very nice girl... tells me I will have the items May 23... That day comes and my husband said he received a call from Sears in OH and they will have to do the installation The 25th for the dishwasher - I asked him if that meant the microwave too.

They are not allowed to expedite orders or do anything for a customer. "So sorry Mrs. K..."

    After 3 visits to fix ice maker- still not fixed. Each time they come I need to take off work, which if I do not go to work I do not get paid. April 2, 2017 Sears Home Repair came out to fix ice maker. Needed to order part. Reschedule 5/12/17- needed more part. Rescheduled 5/22/17- had wrong part- reordered correct part. Rescheduled 6/2/17. Each time they come I have to take off of work and the 4-hour slots they give you keeps changing the day of the visit and so you are here all day. The only response I get when I call is, "I am sorry." Sorry just does not cut it. My time is money just like theirs and they do not make any accommodations.

    Requested that they allow to make two appointments since they book up quickly and I knew that the second part they ordered was wrong and would need another appointment and I did not want to wait 2 weeks again to get it fixed. Their response is that they can only make one appointment at a time - I explained why I needed another but they were "sorry" but that is their policy. They could only give me one appointment. The business is hiding and do not take responsibility for their actions. The phone service tells you that they "only here to help schedule the appointment" yet when I told them I am going public they quickly had the Sears repair person here after waiting 7 hours, third appointment, for them when I had a 8-12 slot.

    My mother recently purchased and installed a new washer/dryer from Sears. She purchased the extended service agreement for an additional $600 which lasts for five years. It says right in the paperwork that if you cancel the service program within 60 days you get a full refund (it's even highlighted!). Well my mother called to cancel after a week of having the washer and dryer installed (why pay six hundred dollars for brand new equipment when you can buy a brand new piece for that much). Nothing should go wrong in the first five years anyway!

    So I was sitting there when she called to cancel and the woman barely spoke English well. It was extremely hard to make out what she was saying. She then proceeded to tell us that she cancelled the service agreement but we can't get a refund. What?! It says right in the contract highlighted in blue that if you cancel in the first 60 days you get a FULL refund and then a prorated refund if you cancel after that. We also got disconnected during all of this. Then we call back--they don't even call us even though we gave them our call back number at the beginning.

    After we called back somehow we got the same person who was very difficult to understand and put us on hold again for a very long time. Meanwhile my mom tried calling from a different line so she could see if she could get someone we could understand better and when she did the woman on the other line is trying to tell my mom that it's not her account, but her husband's. My mother told her that my father is deceased so it's under her name now and the woman proceeds to argue with her!!! This is unbelievable! Customer service?! More like customer HEADACHE!!!! You give them your hard earned money and you can't even get decent service.

    I was told by someone (I don't know if it's true or not) that Sears isn't doing well. Based on this recent experience I can see why. Finally the initial woman I was talking to came back on the line and said she will refund the money and I was able to make out the confirmation number. I am all about people from other countries coming to America and working hard. But if you are trying to communicate with someone in a customer service department you should be able to understand what they're saying. (I would think that'd be a prerequisite). It was extremely frustrating. I would advise anyone against purchasing this agreement.

At 7.5 Hours it would not move at all. I went to our local Sears outlet and received almost no help, just a number to call for service. (I'm sorry I didn't return the mower then). I called Sears helpline and a repairman showed up about a week later and replaced the (Plastic transmission). I'm now into my second year with the mower and have a grand total of 16.5 hours on it.

    On May 16, 2017 I requested Sears Home Services to diagnose and potentially repair my broken refrigerator with a appointment arrival time of 1-5PM on 5/17/17. On the Sears.com website, it stated it accepts Sears gift card as a form of payment. When technician arrived 5:45PM, he diagnosed the refrigerator and demanded payment once completed. The total was $109. I gave him my Sears gift card and he refused to accept it stating he only accepts cash or credit card. The reason I called Sears Home Services was because I had a gift card and wanted to use it as the form of payment. Because he was in my house and I didn't want to be confrontational, I went ahead and paid with a credit card.

    The following morning, I called Sears customer service and explained what had happened. They acknowledged that the technician should've accepted my gift card and was dumbfounded why he didn't. Sears customer service stated that there was nothing they can do moving forward. Now I still have my gift card which defeats the purpose of my request for the original service as now I had to pay and additional $109. By not accepting its own store's gift card when they are in your home, they are forcing consumers to spend additional money. This is fraud and a class action needs to be filed.

    I have had Sears Home warranty for several years but will never use them again. I have two appliances that needed constant repairs. There is so much that has gone wrong with this company but I will keep this short: Chest Freezer: Door does not close properly. Had Sears come "fix" it over two year period of time. Asked to have it replaced since I met the number of times it needed to be repaired to qualify for replacement. I was then told not enough parts had been replaced to meet the qualification. (Often the repairman would readjust the door when he was out vs. buy a new part.)

    I was eventually told it would be replaced and they would let me know how that would happen. After about a month I contacted them and was told to be patient they were still working on the approval but was told "don't worry it will be approved". Called again about 2 months later since still haven't heard back and was told it was denied and "why are you just now calling about it?" When I tried to explain what I was told previously the phone went dead.

    Double oven: After two years of having repairs about every 2-3 months I gave up. I was told the oven could not be replaced since our agreement with that was just for repairs. I'm not sure how I had some of my appliances covered just for repairs and others for replacement. When I was sold this warranty this was not explained to me. Even the repairmen told me how poorly run the business is. Sad that Sears has come to be so untrustworthy.

Initially I called about my fridge and dishwasher - still working but with broken parts. A service repairman came out, promised me parts and never showed up. Three months and several calls to Sears later and they are sending out two repairman for different days this week. While I am spending my day waiting for one I noticed on Sears order lookup that it was rescheduled for next week. When I called they confirmed but no one had the decency to call me and left me taking time off from work to be here.

    My washer door lock is also not working. I had to call Sears 3 times (supposedly the claim was filed incorrectly). When the guy came out it worked on his second try so he left without doing anything and sure enough the next day it stopped working again. Now trying to get someone back out but they won't do it until they hear from the first guy which means another several calls and days - family of 5 needs a washing machine.

    I only got excuses and after 45 minutes on the phone listening to customer service psycho babble I asked that my contract be cancelled. Thank you Sears for taking my $400 plus and giving me NOTHING in return. If you are interested in this type of service contract there are better options available.

Fine, all well and done, we just went to Lowe's and got a new washer. We had to pay the repairman $79.00, which we did with a check because his payment device WASN'T working (how convenient). So Sears sent us right to their collection agency after our check cleared saying they didn't get paid and we owed them. We called the bank and looked at our statements, the check cleared three days after we wrote it! We had to contact the collection agency and get everything straight.

I went to Sears store (where I bought it) and I was asked for a receipt, which I don't have, and they will not replace it. I found similar comments from other users. Can you replace my battery charger?

    My brother bought a new fridge for our mother's birthday, it was going to be a surprise. On Saturday I went to my mother's house to get everything ready for it and told her it was coming. Delivery time was between 2 pm and 4 pm. We moved out her old fridge got everything ready... After 4 or 5 calls to customer service I was told I should reschedule, this was at 9 pm. New delivery day was the next Tuesday, between 1 pm and 3 pm... no one shows. Order canceled. I see why all I hear about Sears is that they are closing stores. Thank you for wasting my time, and my mother's expectations. Needless to say I won't be doing business with Sears again.

    The Sears Home Service technician never showed up for the scheduled appointment. No one ever called or texted to tell me of the delay/no-show. No one ever apologized or offered a reason for what happened. I had scheduled an appointment for refrigerator repair, and signed up for email and text updates. The day before service, I got a phone call reaffirming my appointment scheduled between 1 and 5PM. However, 5 PM came and went, and no technician came. I never got any updates by phone, email or text.

    When I called the 800 number at 6 o'clock that evening, I was told that the technician was en route. Another hour passed, with no technician. I called customer service again, and was told that the technician was still scheduled to come to our house but had been delayed. When I did a chat online with customer service at 8 PM, they told me I'd have to call the next day and reschedule, but no clear explanation was offered as to what happened. I will not reschedule service with Sears, because I can't trust them now. They have lost my business.

    If you are considering buying a Sears appliance warranty, you may reconsider after you read my experience. The handle broke off my Whirlpool oven and because of the way it is connected to the oven, the whole front of the oven came off. I looked online to find the handle part so that I could replace it. After I learned that the part had been discontinued, I continued to try to find the part from somewhere.

    One of the numbers that came up was Sears, and I called them. The lady on the phone was very confident that they would be able to find the part and promoted the Sears warranty program in which I would get the oven fixed and also be able to have all my appliances covered. I learned that if they were unable to fix the oven that I would get a new oven. All I had to pay was a $60 service fee to the service company and $39 a month for a year to have the warranty. I agreed and someone came out and looked at the oven and ordered the part and then fixed the oven when the part came in.

    A few months later the handle came off again and I called Sears Warranty back. Sears said it was under a 90 day warranty to replace it for free and since it was more than 90 days (by 14 days) I needed to place a new claim where I would need to pay another $60 for the service call. So, I called claims to place the "order" and was told by a Sears associate that the warranty that I had did not cover doors or handles. I explained that they covered it the first time while promoting the warranty and she said that was a mistake.

    I called back about a week later and talked to another person from the claims department and explained the situation and she said that they covered it the first time because the service person must have believed that it was necessary to have the door stay on in order for the oven to work and that if I had another service person come out who believed the same thing that it would be covered again and she took my claim and gave the claim to a service company.

    The service person came out and tried to find a part and was unable to find one. He too believed it was necessary to have the door on the oven for it to work and since he could not find a part that Sears would buy me a new oven and he called Sears Warranty to verify. The man he talked with went and talked to his supervisor and that person said that Sears will not pay for a new appliance because they do not cover doors or handles under my warranty. I still had to pay the $60.00 fee for the man to come out.

    Sunday May 6, 2017 my refrigerator broke. I have an extra protection plan with Sears. So I called them and I was told the first available date was Wed May 10 between 1 and 5. I waited and the repair man called at 4:30 saying he could not come because his boss would not approve overtime. I had to call for another appointment, which I was given Friday May, 12 between 1 and 5. I wait another afternoon and at 4:30 I call them and I am told I have an appointment between 5:15 and 7:15. Now it gets near 7 so I call, only to find out once again no repair man! Now I'm given an appointment for May 22. Does anyone else see a problem or pattern here?

    Meanwhile I am a senior citizen raising a great grandchild with no food cause it has all gone bad! How am I suppose to keep milk cold? I call Sears service and they really don't care. They say they understand but they don't care! Now whenever the tech does get here he will have to order a part, then come another day to fix it. So we're talking maybe 20 to 25? 30 days without a Refrigerator! I will never again get a plan or buy anything else off of Sears. If this is the best they can do they should go out of business!

    I will not shop at Sears again. I bought 2 sports bras for a gift and needed a different size. After spending time going to different stores, I locate one of the items in the large that I needed and tried to exchange it. The sports bras were medium in size and had never been worn with the tags still on but because it was 40 days later, I was told it couldn't be done. People I spoke to were rude. All I wanted was an even exchange. Now I'm stuck with two items that can't be used. It doesn't say anything about unable to exchange an item after 30 days on the receipt it only addresses returns. This is the very reason this store is losing customers. I'd rather pay more and get better service at another store that supports its customers. SHAME ON SEARS.

    What has transpired today in dealing with Sears Home Service can only be characterized as shameful. I personally have never in my life seen such poor customer service come from such a well-established brand, and leaves me questioning ever doing business with your company again. After you read this incident that occurred I would like for you to tell me why I should continue doing business with you again. I challenge you to change my mind.

    Back in March, during an annual Maintenance of our double oven we purchased at Sears, the repairman suggested that we sign up for an extend plan for our Samsung Refrigerator. He convinced us that it was money well spent, and that they could take care of any issues that arise. So we signed up. Three weeks ago we had an issue come up with the refrigerator and was told we could be seen between the hours of 1 and 5 on 4/28 three weeks later. They informed us they would have to defrost the refrigerator. On 4/28 my wife took the afternoon off and waited for the technician, and defrosted the refrigerator in anticipation for his arrival, when 5:05pm came around my wife called Sears Repair and spoke with Nancy. Nancy told my wife that he was on a big job and we were the last call of the day and he will be giving us a call before coming to our home (Lie as it turned out). 7:20 pm Still no Technician.

    Again my wife called and again spoke with Nancy and asked her where he was. After a long pause she said the Technician ran long and they had overbooked the day and we were bumped. When my wife said that no one called us, Nancy started to get defensive and my wife requested her supervisor. Nancy informed my wife that she could handle the situation and that giving her to her supervisor would not make it any better. When my wife insisted she was transferred to her supervisor Dolores. Dolores got on the phone and immediately hung up on my wife, and never called back. Both of these ladies should be reprimanded for their actions or should I say inactions.

    We called back and was once again placed on hold for 20 minutes, this time I spoke with Cole and told him of the situation and asked to pass me onto his supervisor where I spoke with Audrey. I will say that Audrey was very professional and tried to accommodate my situation, but this is where Sears failed. If a customer is a victim of overbooking then they should be pushed to the top of the list for next day not four days. Dont wait for us to call customer service they should been on top of this. If the customer took time off from work to wait for the technician the first time they should not be inconvenienced to do so again the next time if it was not their fault. Compensation should be reflected.

    Here it is Friday night and apparently there is no technician out on Saturdays, so now we are waiting until Tuesday. Sears should address a situation like this when it is convenience for the customer, not for Sears. Supervisors should be given more autonomy to resolve customer issues with direct actions that can be measurable, again another failure for Sears. Again I commend Audrey for dealing with this situation but she had very little span of control to take care of the problem. Today Sears has failed so many times and I question whether the person reading this can do any better to resolve not just my issue but probably hundreds of complaints similar to mine.

    We purchased our water heater about 8 yrs ago with the extended warranty. It stopped working on May 1, 2017. I called Service that day. Someone came out May 2nd looked at it. He said we needed a gas module. The water heater would light but not stay on. Thus Cold water. He assured me the part would be ordered that night or next day. I explained that there's an elderly gentleman who lived here that had cancer. He missed his chemo appointment because he couldn't take a shower, Monday. He said that he would put it under emergency status. I tried lighting the water heater and got nowhere. Couldn't do it. Wouldn't work for me. That's when everything went wrong.

    We got an email that the repair had been rescheduled for May 3. 8 am to 5 pm. Then on May 3rd we got on email that the repair was now scheduled for May 9th. I got on the phone with Sears customer service, they were useless. I believe their job is to yes you to death and get nowhere. I tried to find out where the part was. That it was an emergency. Got nowhere. No useful information. No one could do a thing according to them. They said they would forward my number to the water heater department, that they would call me. Next day no call. So I called again.

    Got a customer service person again. I was getting very frustrated, getting nowhere. I said to her, "Do you see that this is an emergency?" She said yes. I said, "There's an elderly sick person here without hot water." I said, "How would you like to be that person without the hot water." The answer I got was she had been without hot water for 3 weeks. Unbelievable answer. Then I said, "Who can I talk to about where the part was." She said the water heater department.

    I finally got that number called it. Asked about the part. I was told they couldn't track it because the repair person ordered it. I asked how could I get this information. They sent me to warranty dept. I asked them if they could find out about the part. They said yes, put me on hold and ten minutes later was disconnected. On Friday May 5th I called the water heater department again. They told me the part was ordered on Thursday. I asked why it was an emergency. He said, "Everyone thinks their water heater is an emergency." That it's Sears policy to take up to 10 days to fix a water heater under warranty. That the part would at my house Tuesday.

    Here's the kicker. If the part missed the repair person, We would have to wait until May 15th to have it repaired. I said that would be over your 10 day period. They said they couldn't get anyone out sooner because they contract out the repair service. And everyone else is filled up. And they come only on certain days. Well it's May 9th, no part no repair. Sears and its policies and people don't give a ** about consumers. There's no recourse with them. I said, "If I called you for a new water heater that you'd be down in 2 days." They agreed. "But because you're under warranty you can wait?" What's wrong with that. By the way I asked for a new water heater and got nowhere with that.

All three times I was disappointed as they did not show up or call when they promised they would. Sears' people forget that customers work and often have to miss work in order to wait for Sears to appear at their house. The supervisor for the mower maintenance crew that oversees Battle Creek Michigan area couldn't care less about lying to the customer.

    If the Sears' people wonder why they are losing their jobs, they might want to consider customers first. I have bought high end appliances and so forth at Sears, but I know I wouldn't buy from them again. It is a shame that a store that used to give good service does so badly.

The item was defective and I initiated a return through Sears.com on 24 April (Less than 30 Days from pick up date). I received an email telling me to return the item to the store for a refund. When I went to the store to return the item, was told by the store personnel that it was more than 30 days from the purchase date and not refundable.

    First, if this is true, why did Sears.com not tell me this initially, instead of telling me to return the item to the store. Secondly, if the return is based on a purchase date, then this item sat in the store for 2 1/2 weeks while my warranty passed by. How is this a fair business practice? All other retail warranties start from the date the consumer takes possession of the merchandise. This is an extremely shady business practice. No wonder Sears is struggling...

    We purchased a refrigerator at Sears and, at their recommendation, added on a 5 year warranty. Less than a year after use, the refrigerator side started freezing everything and the unit would make an odd croaking sound. We called Sears, and a tech came out. He said the problem was a flap that controlled air flow into the refrigerated side was staying open, when it's supposed to open and close to control temperature. He couldn't figure out why it broke. He replaced the part. A few months later, it started happening again. Same sounds, same frozen (and ultimately wasted) food. Same tech came out, and this time he kept saying how stumped he was. He said he looked into the model, and it's known to have these "issues." He replaced the part, and here we are for the third time in 13 months and it's happening again. And this is where the customer service truly takes a nose dive.

    First, we scheduled a tech. The window of time he would show up was 8 AM to 12 PM. We also initiated a tweet conversation with @Searscares because the unit having the same issue three times is unacceptable, let alone three time in 13 months. @Searscares was very polite at first, apologizing for the inconvenience and saying a case file had been created and we would receive a call from the case manager within 24 to 72 hours. The day of the repair, the tech called me at 9:45 saying he was on his way, leaving a city 30 minutes from me. I waited until 12 PM and he hadn't arrived, so I called him. Not one ring; straight to voicemail. I left a message saying who I was and asking where he was and explaining that I couldn't wait all day and asking him to call. Then I reopened my Twitter conversation with @searscares and explained that the tech hadn't shown up within the window (after calling over 2 hours before the end of the window) and now his phone was off. They didn't respond.

    At 12:15, I told them I was leaving and to please add this incident to our case file. I also recommended they check on the driver since he hadn't called and it was now hours after he said he'd arrive. They didn't respond to this either. My wife was at work during this, and on her break talked to customer service to see what she could find out. They told her the driver was running late and should be at our house at 1:30. 90 minutes after the end of the quoted 4 hour window. And without a phone call from him to say he was going to be late, even after I left him a message. She explained no one was home anymore. Also, she had received an email from Sears support at 4 AM that day saying "Your service tech has arrived!", which is just a bizarre additional insult to this whole thing.

    Later in the day, I reopened my twitter conversation with @searscares to see what they had responded. Nothing. I sent another message asking to acknowledge they had received my previous messages regarding today's tech not showing up and asking if there was a more precise time frame they could give me for the case manager call. I want to emphasize how polite all messages I had sent them had been. The response I received regarding the upcoming manager phone call was snide and unhelpful: "As previously stated, it can take up to 72 business hours for a case manager to be assigned." I replied back that I understood it was previously stated but had hoped our case would have been escalated due to the day's incidents.

    Even with a tech missing his 4 hour window and not answering his phone, they didn't deem it important enough to find a way to have someone call. As of now, our unit is still broken. We have been given the runaround and it has been made clear that this company does not care about our business since they already got our money for the unit. I would never buy from Sears again, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

    TL;DR Warranty service is a temporary fix. Technicians are stumped easily and do not show up within a 4 hour window, and won't return your calls when you call to find out where they are. @Searscares is helpful to a small extent, but when pressed to go above and beyond in the slightest will respond with a snarky comment.

That's 7 to 10 days without hot water within a home with a three-year-old.

    When I signed with Sears for a Home Warranty Plan, I felt safe because Sears is a large firm. I soon learned they are no different than other scam warranty companies. I was told when I signed that the service is 24/7. I was also told if I called for service on more than one item I would only be charged for one service call. I placed a call on Saturday for plumbing, heating and garage door service. I was told I would need to call three different contractors for service and each would charge a service call fee. My deductible is $100, so that meant $300 in service calls, without anyone ever showing up. When I called the contractors each told me they could not schedule me for service until Monday. So much for 24/7. I was also advised that when I call Monday, I should expect to be scheduled for mid week.

    I was told by one contractor the order was written incorrectly and I would need call Sears again and place another request. I was so displeased I called customer service to complain and to cancel my warranty. I was transferred multiple times and hung up on each time. Some of the reps were very rude. I have asked the credit card company to refuse any charge attempts from Sears. Do not purchase a warranty from Sears.

    Sales lady body shamed my daughter when shopping for bras. Brought my tween daughter shopping at Sears on Grand Canyon Dr. for her first bra. The lady 'helping' us said verbatim to me daughter: "Wow you are a very big girl. We should get you some padded bras if we have any large enough to fit you." Who says that to a young girl?!?

    In a nutshell, Shed was not available for free shipping as stated on website. I was told I could pick it up at my Sears store. When I tried to order it, I was told it's not available. Then they proceeded to tell me, "I could have it delivered for $70." Wait just a second. It's not available unless I pay an extra $70? RIP OFF!!!! They attempted to explain how it works differently with BLA, BLA, BLA. I see why Sears is getting killed by Amazon. I've never had trouble with them. I order butt loads (thousands) of dollars worth of items from Amazon every year. Saw something online with Sears and thought, what the hell, they used to be good. Goodbye Sears.

    We replaced our 14-year old HVAC equipment in 2013 with a Sears one that cost us $7000.00. We were advised to buy the repair service. Sears knows that not only did they sell us a lemon, they also sold us horrible service. Every time the weather changes the equipment breaks down. This summer it has broken down. The piece that was needed to repair it had to be shipped ground and to go over a week to get here. The technician came two days ago and he claims that he stayed here for three hours make sure that everything was working. When we got home, the HVAC was not working. Called Sears again and now we won't get a technician for the next 10 days and the temperature is in the upper 80's. The technician drives 1.5 hours to come to fix our HVAC. Sears doesn't care about their customers and will never purchase a product from them.

    If you are trying to give Sears a try on jewelry, DON'T! Please go to a fine jewelry store or you'll end up spending more than what you are wanting to save. Their product suck, will break in 1 or 2 weeks with no reason just fall off. If you try to take it back you better save, 1) the receipt 2) the tag that comes attach to any product, in my case a little tag as big as the tip of my thumb, which if I'm not wrong most people would throw away. Why would you save the price for something you are giving as a gift? And bring a good reason why and how it broke and why you didn't buy a care plan from them.

    Also a lot of patience as employees tell you that if you don't have both things the receipt and the tag, there is nothing they can do, not even an exchange "that is their policy." And one last thing, ask them about a care plan because they will not offer it to you and if you ask about a warranty or some type of plan they tell you only 30 days, but will never tell you that you have to save the tag and the receipt in case anything happens. SUSPICIOUS, is it not? Oh but they offer to fix it for you. Manager's words: "We can send it to California for an estimate of how much it will cost you to fix it, but they will charge you."

    I ordered a outdoor dining set from Sears.com. Paid for it only for it to arrive by 2 delivery drivers who are an outside contracting company from Sears per my order and I paid for delivery and set up. They preceded to tell me that they will not set up and had to take my merchandise to their warehouse. They do not set up they just deliver. Now I was expecting my item that was paid for in advance to delivered and set up. Now Sears reschedule my delivery 3 days from now to redeliver my items. The problem I'm mad about is the blatant disconcert and huge inconvenience this has for me.

    I was schedule to be out of town for a week now. I lose money because they have to reschedule which in return is costing more than I paid for the item. If this is how they do business then it's no wonder they are losing a lot of business. I was forewarned about doing business with Sears but I judged wrong this time. Lesson learned.

    I called to get my microwave range fix because the smoke detector was going off and they said I can pay $150 for someone to come out or buy the warranty and pay $75 for a service fee and get all my appliances fixed if I needed it and it includes labor and parts.

They charged me $65 determined it was just a weak fan, but nothing was wrong. 4/7/17 my washer was acting up and called to put in a claim. They said, "Wait until 4/8/17 that's when your policy fully activates."

    I was thinking I bought it in March why does it activate in April. Either way they come out today because I didn't have a day off until now and mind you they charged another $49.99 on 4/11/17 and so they charged me $75 for today's service to tell me repair estimate for the washer was $2K but that the policy didn't cover it because it was a pre-existing damage because I called 4/8 and the policy activated 4/8. I bought it 3/13! So after $250 down the drain with nothing fixed, I cancelled the policy. Worse policy ever. They accused me of lying.

    I purchased a Sears Garden Tractor last year. This year after the first use, it wouldn't start. I called Sears Home repair at the end of March and explained the situation. I was told it would be almost a month before a technician could make it. Reluctantly, I agreed since I was under warranty. My appointment was scheduled for April 27th between 8 am and 5 pm. I received a text message on the 26th stating that my appointment was confirmed and I received a text on the 27th reminding me that someone would need to be home when the technician arrived.

    After taking off work and waiting all day, I finally called Sears at 4:58 pm and was initially told that I was probably the technicians last job and he would be there shortly. Then the service operator began apologizing. There was no technician coming. There were no technicians in my area and wouldn't be until the end of May. Firstly, I'm upset that my tractor lasted one year before problems.

    Purchased Kenmore 70219 20.5 cu ft - delivered 4/13/2017 - product had a sharp edge in the freezer area and slight insulation coming out on seal. Delivery team... noticed this first when connecting the water line. Called for service... many many days of headaches. They claimed I did not call in within 72 hours... even though the delivery was noted as defective.

    Philippines customer service wore me out. Nice people but there is a disconnect with the customer service staff. Finally spoke to delivery in Miami and a gentleman Jay ** spent an hour on the phone and finally got approval to have the refrigerator serviced. Tri State Service Center - Wall NJ came on 4/24/2017 and said: "Sharp edge in corner of center - non replaceable part - covered with tape." WELL HE CUT THE TAPE WITH HIS TEETH AND PLACED IT OVER THE SHARP PIECE OF METAL. And then gave me a copy of a warranty bill for $234.06. I questioned him on the charge of $120 for the non serve part. I said... "Is that for the piece of tape!!!"

    Called for My Home and advised them of the situation. Part not fixable/replaceable. They scheduled another replace and pick up for today. Same delivery guys came to house as two weeks ago (very very nice delivery team). The delivery team opened the box this morning and this refrigerator - seal around freezer was worse than the one delivered two weeks ago. Many Many hours wasted... Spent the morning on the phone while driver called himself and took pictures also to ensure I called and delivery team called - Sears policy... Must hear from both parties.

    What the heck has happened to Sears. This has been and still is the most horrific experience I ever had with Sears or any appliance issue. Shame on them!

I wanted to vacuum my room but the vacuum wasn't picking up anything properly. I checked the bag and it was full. I used this vacuum 4 times and the area of carpets is approximately 170 square feet. Impossible! So Sears sold me either a floor model or one that had been returned. All Sears will comply with at this point is to say sorry for the inconvenience but you didn't return the vacuum in accordance with their return policy. I didn't think I was getting a used product to begin so it's imperative that if you do business with this company be sure to check that what they sold you was what they advertised.

This is the fourth time for the same thing -- well instead of getting the snowblower fixed again (HAHA) I said I'm just going to cancel my agreement get my $355.91 back and put the money towards a Toro or some other reliable brand -- it took three days to get someone to answer the phone where you call to cancel -- (only one place to call).

    They informed me my unused agreement that overlapped my old agreement -- would be pro-rated and that I would get back $306.98 -- so they still made money on a useless agreement for a unrepairable snowblower -- I say unrepairable because if you fix the same thing 4 times it's a defect. Not a breakdown. I have looked at the newer snowblowers & you can tell that Craftsman found the design flaw and changed the problem -- but still I get the shaft.

They signed me up for the wrong plan and, as a result, I was never able to get the services I was requesting. Beyond that, I was repeatedly charged for the monthly fee before my policy's effective date even began. The online advertisement on their official website said that the first month was free. What they meant is that they wouldn't charge me for the 30-day review period prior to the policy going into effect. As soon as that effective date passed, I was charged for the month.

    Additionally, I was only supposed to be charged $69.99/mo. (including tax) and that wasn't the case either. (The including Tax is documented on my Confirmation page that I printed out.) I was charged for state taxes which put it over $74. Every time I called to get some kind of resolution everyone that I spoke to was rude and the woman on the line said that she didn't have to listen to me speak to her like that... I reminded her that I never cussed at her or called her names. I told her that I was an angry customer that felt like I had been cheated and that she had a responsibility to hear me out even if she didn't agree with what I was saying. Ultimately, there weren't any repairs done, I never had my fan installed, and I was charged over $350. Sears Home Warranty is a scam and I advise everyone to stay clear of it.

He said that the problem was mouse damage and that was not covered under the warranty - although he admitted that he could not find the wire where the damage supposedly was. So I called a non-Sears repair person who came and found that the stainless steel plate on the underside of the oven liner had melted through and that was what was causing the problem. He found no animal damage and fixed the problem. After such poor service, I cancelled the Sears warranty, even though it cost me money to do so.

A few days later the technician came out, looked at the machine. I don't think he touched a thing. He then asked me if I had a Sears Home Warranty and I told him I declined it a day earlier. He then told me that they did not do RFR and I was a collect customer and they don't do that for them. He then promptly went into his rant of how no one at Sears knows what repairmen have to deal with when it comes to the unsatisfied customer. Then he asked for his $79 service fee and left. I was shocked and disappointed for sure.

At one point someone must have broken protocol because I ended up in the US, Texas call center. Alicia was kind and gracious and stated that I should have been taken care of. She called California and spoke to someone who rescheduled me again 2 days later.

The same repairman calls, Peter is his name, he states that I declined the estimate - NEVER HAPPENED and he says he cannot repair the board without a warranty and there is no reason for him to come out.

    I have spoken with multiple representatives and supervisors who have been very rude and hung up on me twice. Our Kenmore refrigerator that we had bought back in April 2016 from the Sears Outlet in Allen has again stopped working. We had a service repairman out in January 2017 to "repair" a leaking line in the freezer which caused our freezer and fridge to stop cooling, thus losing all of our groceries. I say "repair" because he DID NOT repair the line, rather overcharge our refrigerator to get us past our warranty. Luckily that did not happen. My husband works with appliances everyday at his job, and a leaking refrigerant line cannot be permanently fixed, only temporarily.

    I am writing to you because on Friday April 14th, we experienced the same issue without refrigerator and freezer not cooling and again lost all of our groceries. I spoke with a representative on Friday in regards to the issue to only hear that they cannot get a repairman out until April 26th. I would think this would be an emergency, so our request would be on high priority, but I guess not. Apparently, Sears thinks that a family of 3 can eat out everyday for every meal until April 26th, but we cannot afford to do so. I was also told that an appliance cannot be replaced until a serviceman has been called out three times for the same issue, which ours clearly will. I am highly disappointed in the lack of urgency that we are getting from every representative that we have spoken with.

    The best they can do is give us an $80.00 gift card to any sears store and extend our warranty for three months, which is useless for the fact that this cannot buy us groceries/food and we will NEVER buy a single item from any sears store ever again. I will also be telling every family member and friend warning them of the customer service that we had experienced and that they will likely experience from the Sears representatives. I would like to WARN everyone, DO NOT buy a single thing from a Sears store or outlet, because you will not get any kind of compensation or help from a single person that works there when it comes to repairs or probably any other issue.

I offered my help in purchasing immediately the proper hose in the nearest Home Depot store and said that it is located in 5 min to drive. Installation guy said "I can wait 5 minutes then, otherwise I will leave." I said that it will take 10-12 min, and the guy agreed to wait. When they finished the installation (the installer did not tell me this, it is my guess), they said when machines stop (presumably after their checking) I can began to use them. The installation guy did not give any other comments/information, left my house and even left (forgotten) his tool in my house. When I began the first trial on washing machine, I found that it does not work (did not supply water).

    I called to the service and the guy (Tony) who answered told me that I have to go back to the store. I insisted to connect me with somebody by phone. Finally he did and after 3 connections I was answered by technical dept, and they promised to send the technician in the nearest 4 days. (N.B. I needed the laundry now, and at purchasing I have even asked for the next day delivery; however it cost $30 and the delivery was performed on 1 day later). I rejected the offer for the visit of technician and went to the store, as it was advised by phone. As far HA manager was not in the store, I have contacted the store manager. She tried to resolve the problem offering me other machines, however they did not fit my requirements.

    Finally I canceled the order and the store was not able to pick up the machines from my house on the next day (in spite of my offer to pay them $30 to do so). After my next visit to the store they finally found the possibility to pick-up the machines from my home asap. It was very unpleasant experience because (1) the installation was not made properly, (2) installation team was rude and unfriendly, (3) I was not able to resolve the problem by phone, (4) I visited the store 2 times after delivery to arrange the pick-up of the canceled order.

Their products have been good, but now I am hesitant to buy anything major from them because of the abysmal customer service.

    I bought me a lawn mower offline and it was a defective. When I call customer service they told me to return it to Sears. I had my son-in-law return it and they put the money on his card not my credit card that I paid for it on and when I tried to dispute it the manager Darla told me that wasn't her problem and that I can call whoever I want to. Harold the manager refuse to do anything about it and was short with me. I told both managers I was going contact VP they said so. Is it Sears policy to refund money to someone else's credit card that they did not pay for it on. I have information stating the wrongdoing and also the return bar where says refund will be credited back to my credit card not my son-in-law.

    Sears Newport News, VA home repair is a debacle. I scheduled service for my refrigerator a week out. I have a home warranty, therefore I will use it. Sears called me within 24 hours to confirm the appointment. Appointment was confirmed. The estimated arrival time was 10-2. At no point was I contacted by Sears, technician, or anyone. I had to contact Sears after my window to get an update of when they would arrive. I was told after my window they had to reschedule.

    This has not been my first bad experience with Sears Home Repair. The company could care less if you had to take a day off work, not get paid, or have food in your refrigerator to feed your family. At no point did they even consider calling to let me know until I contacted them. I would never recommend purchasing a product or having them service a product due to the lack of customer appreciation. From start to finish it was disorganized chaos. I will do whatever I can in my future to take all my business from this retailer.

    Purchased a bed and mattress from Sears - Glendale Ave. - St. Catharines, August 2016. The bed on display that we purchased has 12 drawers, and the mattress was 7". We were delighted that we finally found the bed we wanted with a mattress that we could get into (most on display are WAY too HIGH). We purchased the SAME model and mattress on the floor.

    We received a 12" mattress and asked for it to be exchanged, explaining AGAIN, that we wanted the 7" mattress (on display), not 12". They quickly exchanged the mattress... and delivered a 11" mattress!!! We have had several contacts with the store, but because they have already exchanged it, they refuse to help us (even though this is a STORE ERROR). We did NOT get what we wanted.

    This store has provided many responses, however no action has been given. We are over 60 and I "climb" into my bed each night. It is WAY TOO HIGH!!! DO NOT BUY A MATTRESS FROM SEARS!!! EVEN IF IT'S A STORE ERROR, THEY WILL NOT CORRECT!!! I paid an extra $100.00 for the second mattress, to get the one that I wanted??? RIDICULOUS!!!

I've been calling Sears for the last month trying to get a copy of the receipt, they were able to find the transaction but no one seems to be qualified/motivated enough to mail me a copy of the receipt. I have asked if they could email it to me which they promptly negated. Sears claims to have a secure method of communicating with its customers via email which is how we get electronic statements but, per their own words, they don't think is secure. The most frustrating part is that every time I call the rep I'm speaking with blames the previous rep for providing false information. I'm so frustrated that I will NEVER shop at Sears again.

    I ordered a new dishwasher in the store a week and a half ago. I was told I would be called to setup a delivery and install date the next Wednesday. I started getting spam calls from multiple places the following day which just continue. The Friday after I was supposed to get the call to schedule the appointment, I started trying contact Sears about the delivery through the chat online since that's where you check on your order.

    First off, when I checked on the order status it says that delivery has been scheduled. News to me! So I try to get on chat to only get messages for about 4-5 hours saying that the service people are busy and to try again later. Finally I manage to get into a queue where I'm number 2 for over an hour and get kicked off. I get back in and I'm number 1 in queue... for an hour and a half until they close for the day! There is no way, even with a single person working the chat, that it takes an hour and a half to help a single person. I had to stay up all night to be able to try again first thing when they opened Saturday morning.

    I finally got someone only to find out that they don't deal with store orders and can't even pull up any information about my order even though I was looking at it right then... but they couldn't even access what I was looking at online. So they give me a phone number to call because they don't deal with anything with the stores. So I call the number after getting some sleep and waiting until they opened... get a partial recording with no prompts, then a ring, then nothing. Try again later to get the same thing. Figure they're having problems so I wait until today (Monday) when they're open again.

    I call, get the same partial recording, then Charlie Brown's teacher comes up really faint in the background and otherwise no one answers. I try again after a few minutes. Different recording saying that my number is not in the system with any kind of order and then I get another teacher of Charlie Brown. I tried 5 more times before giving up for the day, getting the same results all the time.

    It should not be this difficult to get a purchase delivered! If it were up to me I'd cancel the order and shop elsewhere because Sears clearly does not care and does not want to be in business. My last encounter wasn't much better. I had paid for a new die hard battery in my truck and I went and ran errands with family then went back when they called to say it was done, only to get home later to realize they never gave me a receipt AND never installed a new battery. So I was out the money for the battery, had no way to prove anything and still had the old battery that's been on its last legs. If Sears wants to save itself they need to actually care about the customers, hold to their obligations and have some actual customer service that accomplishes something. I don't think I'm ever going to be able to get my dishwasher and I'm afraid that the install won't be right either IF it ever arrives.

Turns out the rep I spoke to typed in my email wrong (reason why I couldn't locate my purchase) and didn't add the haul away fee, and now the truck is full and there is no guarantee my old refrigerator will be hauled away... I was on the phone for almost one hour, transferred twice, was hung up by one of the reps, but they said it was a lost connection.

    I'm so done with companies and bad customer service, I honestly will pay more for customer service. So after speaking to the customer service rep where I lose connection, I called back and spoke to the 4th rep to have my order cancelled and the reason why I'm cancelling. Rep I could tell was young and no customer service experience in my mind. He was not trying to see how he could change my mind and to keep my as a customer but right to I will TRY to see if I can cancel the order, TRY???

    I am not satisfied with the service I received from Sears. I remodeled my kitchen with great expense! I also bought Sears appliances for my kitchen! My wife accidentally broke the fridge glass when she removed it for cleaning! On the first two deliveries the glass was shattered into a thousand pieces. I was told I would get a new glass shipped for the third time. My complaint is if their shipping dept. can't seem to pack glass for shipping on the first two tries, what makes them think a third order will get here! I've asked them for a repair center I could drive to and pick up the glass I need. As long as it's not half a world away, I'll drive to get it!

    I get the impression that Sears is saying I'm to blame for the problem. On the first order, I did not even touch the box. The UPS man was standing on my front porch shaking the box. It sounded like a mariachi! Now the Sears team has to contact me so I can give them more info! Here's some info. Teach your people how to pack properly! I used to swear by Sears with their Craftsman line, But I have noticed a sharp decline in this product line, And I'm afraid it's spreading to your appliances also!

When I called Customer Service the only options I was given were: get an electrician and replace your 3 pronged outlet (at my own cost of course), exchange for another dryer. (It took me days and days to do the research and opt for this particular dryer - so exchanging it for another one forces me to start all over.) Customers should be warned by sales associates when a cord only comes in one format and does not allow for substitution, shouldn't they? That's my last purchase at Sears.

The repairman charged $90 for a half hour session where he told us he couldn't fix the indication light for the lint trap on the dryer without spending $550 on repairing the electronics inside. What's more, he blocked myself in when asked nicely to move because I needed to get my young daughter to story time, and when forced to move after being talked sternly to, blocked the neighbor's car in when asked to move.

    This is an incredibly low level of service; extremely rude, reeking of smoke, and not at all helpful. I recommend avoiding Sears Service if at all possible - apparently the people they contract out to are of the lowest quality possible to save a buck.

    We had the privilege of paying the $65 service fee 6 times to fix a refrigerator seal. Then finally a serviceman said, "The only way to fix this, because of the damage caused by prior servicemen, is to order a whole new door. This is an old door though, if we can't get another door Sears will have to replace the fridge." Sears' response: "The seal is not covered under your policy".

    We are furiously waiting in hold for over an hour for assistance. My wife and I purchased a top of the line Frigidaire range from Sears 16 years ago. We purchased a warranty for the product and recently renewed the contract as the range is for our rental property. Unfortunately, the range burners stopped working and the oven door locked and would not open. We called for service and the technician sent out the motherboard for repair. It returned and was reinstalled only to find that the problem was not fixed. The process has taken over a month.

    At this point our tenant is taking the cost of meals out of the rent. We ask Sears to replace the range only to find they have to attempt to fix it 3 times before they will replace. We are very disappointed. At this point we could have bought a new appliance. We have spent over $2,200 on a warranty for this appliance. Our advice to all consumers. Do not buy from Sears and if you do, do not buy a warranty plan. They are a terrible company. They do not stand behind their products and their customer service is deplorable.

    Hello. So this will be the fourth time I am having to either call or email Sears customer service in regards to my order # **. This is absolutely ridiculous. That as a customer I am having to have to contact the company so many times to find out where the item is that I purchased, especially since you have already taken my money.

    I have been told now three times that my order was going to be delivered on three separate times. First was March 8 which is the date that I was ABLE to pick when originally purchasing the item, then after not hearing from anyone to let me know that my item haven't even shipped I get a call two days later to say that my item has shipped and will be delivered March 15. Your online system did not inform me of anything further. Once again, March 15 came and went with no delivery not getting a call the evening prior which I was informed I would also get to inform of a scheduled time of my delivery.

    I contacted Sears now by email to inquire as I was put on hold for 20 minutes when attempting to call customer service. I get an email back within two days to say that the item was no received in time and would not be delivered March 27. It is now almost 5 o'clock on March 27, 2017 and I still don't have the item I paid for. On all occasions I have either had someone come to my house and wait for the delivery because I was never told it WASN'T coming and now today I ended up staying home.

    I will never order online or attend a Sears store for the rest of my life after this horrible experience of service. I could have ordered from another store, the same item and had the item a few days after I made the purchase. Not to mention I have also been charged a $75 delivery fee. For what? I have always been a avid shopper of Sears, but this experience has upset me so much that I will be sure to not step foot in another Sears store. I don't think I have ever been treated with such bad respect or provided such bad customer service. I am wanting a full refund of the FULL price paid for the item I ordered. There is no point attempting to delivery it now or saying that it is going to happen. I want a full refund of the item I purchased, the delivery fee which should be a given since the item was never delivered. Absolutely the worst service!!!

The companies they use for service once they find out the service is thru Sears whole home warranty they do not take the job seriously. Companies that great reviews do NOT do the same quality service for Sears warranty plan clients. Also, if anything does need to be replaced in the home, ex. AC central air unit, you will expect to pay at least the cost of the unit. Plus, I had to get my lawyer to talk to company that handles the insurance for Sears. They refused my claim. I was without AC the whole hot summer then finally after my lawyer got involved it was finally replaced at the end of August and I paid over $1500. So what is the $64.99 (NJ people pay tax so its a little more) you pay for nothing.

    When a company came out to do my annual service for my furnace, they just looked at it and said it was fine and left. I am new to being a home owner so I didn't know. I am finding out along the way. Do NOT bother with the Sears Whole Home Warranty plan or ANY plan they offer.

Twice during this time the Sears technician did not show up to do the repair, nor did he call to make alternative arrangements. It is also impossible to call him because he does not answer his phone. You cannot leave a message for him to call you back because his mailbox is full (and has been full the entire 8 weeks). 8 Weeks later and my washing machine is still not repaired.

    What is worse is that after the technician did not turn up - I have to start from scratch by making an appointment for a service all over again and wait a week and a half before the technician is supposed to arrive - if he arrives at all!

They said yes they are covered and if they couldn't repair it they would replace it with a new, comparable unit. They never sent me my service contract. My refrigerator went out 4 weeks ago. The freezer was working but the refrigerator part wasn't. The first tech they sent out spent all of 2 minutes there, didn't check anything and said he couldn't fix it. The second one that came out spent a considerable amount of time on it. After they were done the freezer stopped working.

    Then SHW sent out a 3rd company. They looked it over and suggested a few things to replace and said they'd be in touch. The following day SHW called and said they'd be replacing my fridge. They then offered to replace my unit with a $1000 unit that does not come close to fitting in the dimensions that I had given them. A comparable unit would be at least $6000. They have been giving me conflicting talking points and have flat out lied. I've been hung up on 3 times. I spoke to the 3rd tech and he said that he tried to give them the diagnosis and SHW told him that it wasn't necessary. SHW then told me that due to the 3 reports from the different service companies they couldn't do anything further. I have yet to read a positive review for this company. It seems like their methodology is to frustrate the customer to the point where they just give up. The only was that these companies learn is unfortunately through the courts.

    I ordered a gas range online with Sears. The online process was smooth. I selected the installation kit for 27.99, delivery and basic hook up for 69.99, and no additional warranty. Everything seemed fine in the receipt and confirmation email. The delivery was to arrive a week later. On delivery day, I received a call saying the gas range will arrive at my house with no basic hook up. The haul away only exists when the stove is unplugged and unattached to the gas line. This is shocking considering I paid 25.00 for haul away. Where was this detail online? When I questioned installation, the men said, "That is between you and Sears." My previous bad experiences with my refrigerator from Home Depot made me tell the deliverymen, "I don't want the gas range." They passed my house. I stopped a possible nightmare in delivery, but my customer service experience was no better.

    The customer service department tried to help, but the outcome I received didn't solve the problem. Through endless runarounds calling and chatting with various customer service departments, I found out that installation is separate from delivery. The 69.99 was for delivery ONLY. I called the installation department at Sears to find out the price of installation. Installation is $129.99 EXTRA plus parts. If the parts needed to install the gas range doesn't come with the installation kit, I would have to pay ADDITIONAL MONEY for those parts ON TOP OF INSTALLATION. I already paid 500.00 to purchase the gas range and I have to pay extra? The whole experience was depressing. I feel deceived because this fine print is unavailable online. I ended up canceling my order from Sears. In closing, this speaks volumes about the kind of store Sears is.

    It has been over a year that I've been calling for services for my washer. They have came out a few times and yet still I am having the same issue. I was aware that if a tech comes out for the first I am suppose to pay a $60 fee, and if they have to come out for the same issue there is no service fee. Today I had to call to schedule a service for the same product and now I was told that after 90 days then I have to pay a $60 fee, which I wasn't aware of from the beginning of me signing up.

    On 3-12-17 I ordered 5 sets of dishes each on sale for 62.99 x5. When my order came through and I got an email receipt it said I was charged 69.99. I called Sears and said it's on sale for 62$. She said "that's what you were charged". I argued for an hour explaining that I got charged 69$ each. It says it on my receipt... she couldn't help. I went and talked to another rep. He found the mistake and fixed it for 62$ each. My total for these dishes was 319$. I found the same thing on Kohl's for total of 260$ With tax included! Plus 40$ Kohl's cash! I called and cancelled my order at Sears right away the same day. 2 hours after I made the order.

    Called a couple days later to see why my money isn't back in the account. They said I have to wait till the 20th and come to the store and cancel when the product comes in because it's in transit! I said no. The product should never been sent out. It was sent out Monday!!! I cancelled Sunday! I don't have to go visit this product. I don't have time for this. So they said they would fix it. And I will get my money back by Friday. So I called a couple days later to check. Nobody cancelled my order! So it was "cancelled" again. And I received an email it was cancelled AND I would have to go to The store after this product comes in to cancel.

    Called again and I requested to get my money back... I was told I would get it by Friday. Then told I will receive an email about request to get my money back before this order even arrives. I'll get an email? I did not! This is speaking to corporate Monica **. She promised that I will get this email. I never did. Called again! And was told my best option is to wait till product arrives to the store and then it would take 3-5 days after that to REQUEST my money back!!!

    My husband and I were in the process of buying a new house. We decided to get our fridge, washer, & dryer from Sears because they had layaway and our house wasn't going to be built for another 2 months. We finally moved in and paid the layaway off. We had a date set and the day before we got the call saying our delivery would be between 4:30-6:30. We waited and the time came and passed. Finally, at 7:30, delivery showed up with only the hookups for the washer and dryer. We asked if there was more in the truck to which they laughed and said no and left. We called customer service who was of no help. They told us that the order was cancelled then when we asked for a manager they told us that the order was delayed. We then ended up going to the actual store and they called and emailed. They found out the following day that the whole order was deleted from their system.

    Being upset and in a new house with no fridge, washer, and dryer for a week was taking a toll on us. They then said they would reorder the items and set up a new delivery. The original delivery was suppose to be on a Friday and the earliest they could set it up was the following Tuesday. We decided that since we got them on sale we would wait for Tuesday. I got the call the night before saying my window was from 12-2. I took a long lunch from work and sat at home and waited and waited and waited. Finally, at 3pm I had given up. I called customer service again and said this is the second time and my items aren't here. They once again said the order was delayed. I then called the store again saying my items aren't here again for the second time. I stopped by the store and asked again "Where are my items? This is the second time."

    They then called and emailed again and said they items were on a truck that never arrived and someone should have called me to cancel. They apologized for that and said they would set up a new delivery. I did not want to trust them again with another delivery because I have been waiting. They set up a new delivery for Friday and said they would take money off once the items were delivered. The items were finally delivered a week later than they were supposed to with 2 other failed attempts.

    The people who installed the items did not want to be there because they placed our items in the house and didn't install anything with care. We ended up moving the dryer and saw they just shoved the vent tube into the wall splitting the tube down the middle. I also never got any money back from Sears. After the biggest headache of my life, I will never show at Sears again if I want home delivery. The system is so disconnected that information gets lost in the process.

Then Sears had to put in thermopile, then it started putting itself out. Had Sears come again in Nov. But they couldn't find anything wrong with it. It kept going out. In March 14,'17 they came again. Nothing wrong, it did it again on 3-15-17. AGAIN NOTHING WRONG!! So once again called Sears, after 1 & 1/2 on the phone after the serviceman refused to come back, they ordered everything that could be replaced. So it's Thursday so maybe I will have water heater in a week or so. Very soon I will have the money to get a tankless heater.

    The first time I called Sears today to ask about the cost of shutters as between their products I was transferred, told I had been transferred to the wrong department, by the person who then picked up the phone and then told I would be transferred on further and then I was hung up on without further contact from Sears. I directly called back and got Serge in Montreal, the same person who transferred me incorrectly. He was going to direct me back to exactly the people who had just hung up on me. I told him that I just wanted to ask the shutter people about a pricing q. He said that I could not be in contact with the shutter people directly, unless I provided a home address. I said, "you don't need to know that as I just gave you my name and my contact phone number and the subject of my call." He said that I was not allowed to talk to his manager and that he could not pass along my message to the shutter people.

    I did remind him that this was all on tape as promised by Sears when I called in. So there it is Sears, you are broken. Your customer service has an overall rating of 1. Given that I obtained exactly zero service I would give you a negative number review. If that was possible. Honestly, get your act together.

    Excellent response from Sears. Very pleased. And the repair we asked for was done in a professional and timely manner. Thanks.

    Original Review: March 14, 2017

    So tax time and I look over the air conditioning system we had installed a year ago. The system was $10,600 and that includes service and parts for 5 years. We have been paying this off on a monthly basis and the interest on the Citi Sears card they issued is about 14%. My wife was led to believe this would be interest-free for a set period but it certainly does not seem that way.

    When I ask them for a copy of the contract they say that it is online and sent us a password to access it. The password gives us access to the cost of the unit. And details about the specifications etc. I am under the impression that the guy who came with his speech that went on forever was not forthright in all the details relating to the sale. I have tried to contact the various individuals like the District Production Manager Todd **. Sales Managers Charles ** and Al ** and the District General Manager Ronnie **.

    For some strange reason they all share the same phone number which is just the number you would call Sears for any kind of inquiry. This is very annoying. Terrible service and by the way when the sales guy came out to give his tedious pitch he went into my loft and put his foot through the ceiling. And when the guy came to install the a/c he put his foot through the ceiling. I think if you want an air conditioning system and you contact these characters you really do need your head examined.

Sears calls again on the following Tuesday to say "your order will be out this Friday." So my wife took a day off to receive but nobody showed up. Call Sears.ca to ask for some sort of compensation, no commitment was provided and one month later still no delivery and Sears is asking me if I received my elliptical yet, because they have no idea where my shipment is. Long and short of it is my family took two days off work to be home when Sears.ca said they were coming, they did not deliver and we are out $400.

Of course, he refused to wait to see if the machine worked because he knew it was the wrong part. Then, I rescheduled to have the correct work done.

    Today, the technician called me and yelled at me, demanding proof of the recall and insisted that I would have to pay for service, even though 4 people in customer service told me I would not be charged for parts or labor today. Roger should be fired. The technicians come out and they are belligerent and disrespectful to me, refusing to do the repair work, not showing up, cancelling the appointment without my permission.

    We noticed our 2 1/2 year old Kenmore Elite refrigerator was not cooling and called for a repair on February 28th. Sears sent out a technician that same day because they said our repair was an "emergency". The technician said it was the compressor and said he would need to order a new one. The next available time for Sears to send someone to install it would be Friday, March 10!!! Seriously?!? The part was delivered on Monday, March 6th! March 10th rolled around and the service technician shows up around 1 pm and come to find out he didn't have any gas for his welder to install the new compressor! Really?!? One would have thought if you're going to be welding a compressor you'd need to check to make sure you had gas before you showed up at the customer's house.

    The technician left to get gas for his welder and almost two hours later he was back to repair our fridge. While he was working on the fridge he told us the model we have is a piece of crap and would could expect more problems in the future!!! OMG!!! After 2 hours of installing the new compressor he left around 6 pm. It has been 12 hrs and our fridge is still not cooling! I called the home repair line earlier today where they told me this was consider another "emergency" but it would be March 21st before someone would be able to come out to look at the fridge!!! Are you kidding me!?! We are going on day 11 with no fridge and looking at another 10 for them to just come look at it!

But since I don't have a manual, I don't know how to do this. I am a 75-year-old widow. I have always bought Sears appliances. I just hope I live long enough to need something else, so I cannot buy a Sears product. Sears is not the company they used to be. It is sad to see a company go downhill.

He could not reschedule and told me to call main scheduling number. Rather than correct their mistake by offering to send someone out first thing in the morning, the best they could do was offer me their next available appointment, which was over a week away. The best they would do is offer to send someone sooner if there was a cancellation. Told them to forget. Called local repair shop instead and they are sending someone tomorrow.

    Last Wednesday March 8, 2017, when I wrote about the ongoing repairs of our refrigerator. Sears benefits department was contacted and they submitted request about replacement of our refrigerator. The water dispenser had stopped working in November 2016 and the ice maker stopped working on March 3, 2017. Had various parts replaced but still didn't work. Even on March 9, 2017, it started leaking water. Called again to see if technician was still since he was scheduled to return on the 9th. They informed me that I had been approved for replacement but they didn't know amount of value. Later on the 9th, did get email and automated phone call. Yesterday we picked a new refrigerator and will be delivered tomorrow. Sears will be removing old and installing new refrigerator. Thank you Sears. Grateful this experience is over.

    Original Review: March 8, 2017

    Water dispenser stopped working late November 2016, called for repair appointment. First available appointment December 16, 2016. Technician stated he would order new pump for door. Returned January 3, 2017 unfortunately it was the wrong pump. Technician reordered door pump and returned January 13, 2017. New pump installed in door but unfortunately water dispenser did not work. Technician then ordered pump for rear of refrigerator. Returned and replaced rear pump on January 25, 2017 and again water dispenser did not work. Technician stated perhaps water line from faucet blocked, my response "why is ice maker still making ice?"

    Senior tech came and stated that we needed to change water line and see if that works. We changed water line from faucet to refrigerator. Water dispenser still did not work. We have called, we have chatted online about our ongoing frustration. They have claimed that they would send gift cards to compensate for all the cases of water we've had to purchased even plus a filtered water pitcher. Never received any thing; have also requested several times copy of service agreement. Each time I've called I have requested copy email and hard copy mailed.

    Technician returned on February 15, 2017, stated he would order computer board for refrigerator. Technician returned February 27, 2017 but claimed board shipped was no good. Technician stated he would order new board and scheduled to return on March 9, 2017. Last week we received another pump for rear of refrigerator and no board. Plus now our ice maker no longer working as well. Called Sears repair to report ice maker not working and that no board shipped only a 2nd pump for rear of refrigerator. The representative verified no board was order only pump. Have called everyday since Monday and the representatives state the parts department would contact us within 24-48 hrs.

    72 hours later I called again Sears repair and again they messaged the parts department. Asked to be transferred again to benefits department to request copy again of service agreement. Told representative also no gift card "whatever they promised" has been received. Benefits representative I spoke with today March 8, 2017, finally was able to provide email of service agreement. This representative stated he would submit a request for replacement of refrigerator.

    We purchased refrigerator new online December 2014, with service agreement for 3 years. I've been more than patient but even during these past 4 months; had solicitations of renewal of my service agreement. I told representative that I have grave reservations of renewing the service contract. Now I have to wait to see if they'll approve a replacement. Giving them until this Friday to let me know about replacement of the refrigerator.

    I purchased a Samsung refrigerator and the ice maker freezes up and it isn't under warranty so I called Sears. The initial tech that came out attempted to repair and I was not charged anything since there was a manufacturer bulletin for this situation. However the freezing issue continued. I called Sears back and was told that since I was calling within the 90 day warranty period that they would send out another tech at no charge. Eventually, another tech was sent out who immediately disputed that the work should be done under warranty. He went out to his van and came back in telling me that it would be $279 to repair. I immediately declined because I didn't have confidence that my spending $279 would actually resolve the issue.

    To this day, I have not been presented with any documentation stating that I agreed to pay any monies for anything yet I have now received 2 harassment letters demanding that I pay $279. I have formally disputed their claim in writing as instructed yet the harassment continues. After this experience, I will never call Sears for any type of in home repair and I have no intention of paying their claim because I was never told that I owed any money when the tech was onsite until I received the 1st letter. No phone call for a discussion to occur just a form letter that contained no paperwork with my signature indicating I agreed to pay, only demanding payment. I will never do business with Sears again as they are trying to bully me into paying something that I don't owe. They are acting as the judge, jury and executioner.

If this is your job and you are charging $89.00 you should know this equipment and be able to tell me what the problem is. They could not figure what was wrong and told me they think it might be the thermostat. They never tested the thermostat just gave me an estimate for over $400.00 to fix something they think is wrong. I feel this is such a ripoff. Call Sears to complain they said "you can't get your money back." I should have read the reviews on the repair service then I would have never used them.

Also told him the top of the stove gets extremely hot using the front burners. He said that is just the way it is with these newer models. August 2015 Son had a baby boy. Grandson is now 18 months and extremely hot top of range is a major concern. Purchased self-sticking stove guard and appeared to work great until I decided to cook on front burners at level 6 heat. Heat melted the contacts and guard fell off.

    Last week of February 19, 2017 discussed issue with Metro Center Sales Manager. He turned in the issue to Sears Corporate Office and said I would hear from them in a few days. To this date, March 5, 2017 I have heard nothing from the corporate office. If my grandson should touch the front top of the stove he would very likely get a third degree burn. I cannot even touch the front top of the stove without getting burned. I am going to call Metro Sears Manager once again today to find out why I have not heard back. Due to poor service provided and poor quality of equipment I will no longer purchase anymore products from Sears and highly recommend to friends and family to review equipment rating on the internet before considering model of product they intend to buy. Furthermore Service Maintenance Contract is a scam.

    We have a side by side and it has been out of service for over 2 weeks. We have had 3 service calls and now we find out that the part we need is no longer available. I called Sears this morning and they told me to call back in another week to see if they have been able to find the part. We have lost food and of course it is not working out well with the service. This is unacceptable.

    I purchased a warranty on my Kitchen Aid Dishwasher from Sears in June 2016 two week after the original warranty ran out. This is a vacation rental property. My rental agent had already had their technician look at the machine and they wanted me to purchase a new machine. I had them get a second opinion. That technician said it needed a drain pump and motor. I google the part and found out it cost $130. That's when I called Sears and they offered me the contract. They called to set up an appointment and I told them to call the house as a tenant was in and schedule with them. We arrived in November to discover that the dishwasher was broken and precious long standing tenants has left me a note saying that people had been out, but no one fixed the machine.

    I called Sears and had to wait 3 weeks for a technician to arrive. I explained the situation. He informed me he was the only technician in this area for Sears and that the pump and motor were replaced. So he ordered a control panel. I had to wait another 3 weeks for him to return and put it in. It still didn't work. So he ordered another part. Now it's January. And It still doesn't work. He ordered another part. Cancelled his appointment. Rescheduled. Cancelled. I went to a local Sears Home Store and the Regional Mgr. was there and went online to send an email. Said I would hear immediately. I didn't. I went online to Sears and sent an email... The 48 hr. window is up. Another added to Sears Home store phone line is constantly busy for 3 days now. I will never buy anything from Sears...
