“Marketplace has been surprisingly great... 12 separate purchases all on time or early.”

Sears marketplace had been really easy to deal with, on time, and we'll priced. Seriously I just moved and bought about 12 different items, some from Sears and some from their sellers and every single one was delivered on time or early. Really nice to get delivery email notices too. I don't know who says they get better deals at Walmart as that was not the case for me. I found better quality for similar prices at Sears and I got a pile of shop your way points that I used to get several other items free!

“Worst company ever”

Enis g.
9/3/24

When I tell yall I have been struggling and having headaches with this company warranty. I'm just at a loss, for years ive been paying monthly payments of 50 dollars, finally I have an incident my refrigerator is not working. I have been going back and forth with them for 4 months, appointments have been canceled I have had to call out of work so many times that's it's been troubling even with my manager. When I say over 4 months I have been rescheduling, multiple appointments. The only thing they can tell me is it would have to be rescheduled, it's beyond sickening to me. It's beyond horrific, never in my life would I expect a company like sears to do this. They are the worst, I'm just sick to my stomach on why I have been paying this long. The worst, the worst, the worst. Do not get home coverage with them.

My wife and I will never attempt to buy from Sears ever again! We placed a order with Sears for a Kenmore Refrigerator. When we placed our order we were told the model we wanted 'was in- stock'. That was the beginning of the many deceptions and lies from Sears Customer Service, 'India'. Over the course of 10 days we were given 5 different Delivery dates and promises. On each supposed delivery day, the delivery was NO SHOW... and no one from the delivery team called (NO CALL) to advice us the delivery wasn't going to happen or why it wasn't delivered! The many calls to Sears Customer Service, 'India' put us ON-HOLD for more than 6 hours of hold time over the 10 days of Nightmare. All of the customer service agents had very thick foreign accents that made it extremely difficult to understand. After the 5th non-delivery we finally cancelled the order. The next day we went to a local Big Box store (Lowes). They had exactly what we wanted... it was $5 less than the price of stress from Sears. The customer service from the American Young Lady was exceptional. Our new Frigidaire Refrigerator was delivered the next day exactly when and the 'time that they had promised. This easy and enjoyable transaction took less than 30 minutes. I'm afraid that the 'Old Sears' that I had grown up (We're 72) with no longer exists. Save yourself the extreme Stress and pain... DON'T BUY FROM SEARS!

I purchased a washer from Sears in Grandville, MI on 4/13/19. On 4/20/19, after paying extra for a Saturday delivery, two men came to my home 4/20/19 to deliver the washer. As they were leaving, I asked, "Did you level it?" because I could touch it and it wobbled. I do live in a older home and realize that the basement floor isn't level. He unscrewed the legs and said "All set.", set the washer to go thru a cycle and left. During the spin cycle, it made a horrible squealing noise. I called and reported this and the fact that they broke the cold waler shut-off valve. He apparently pocketed the handle and didn't say anything. Even though I told Bob I didn't want the same 2 people, a week later 4/27/19 came out to "level" my washer. They came in... without a level... put the washer on drain/spin, made some excuse about why he didn't tell me he broke the handle, and left because "they were only allowed 12 minutes for a level job" and they couldn't be bothered to wait to see if the washer spun properly. I called my salesman on Friday, 4/26/19 and she said she talked to Rick, store mgr and he would call me. I'm still waiting for a call back from the store (on 4/29/19). I was so happy with my Kenmoor washer for 20+ years and thought that I would stay with Sears BUT I'M SORRY I DID. They've been horrible to work with and lack a good work ethic or sense of responsibility.

I had a little bit longer than usual wait at their auto center, and they gave me a free oil change. +1 in my book!

They do like to send out e-mails. Some of them do tell me I have $ off on an order. That is a nice surprise every day or two.

Love Sears just for the Craftsman tool section. It always comes through in a pinch on the weekend project. Hope they never go away. Thank you!

Now they are just another Sell Out, by making all of their tools in China. What ever happened to American made?
Craftsman used to mean something!

Insurance fraud that's all I'm going to say. I paid for instead on a washing machine and they refuse to fix it.

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

When purchasing a Kenmore, I saw a label that showed the LG Compressor was guaranteed for 10 years. The salesman pushed that fact during the sale as well. The problem is that that's ONLY a sticker, and it does NOT reflect the quality nor the lifespan of the refrigerator. If you verify the stats, you'll see that the LG compressor breaks down around the 3-5 year period and you'll need to have it replaced. LG will NOT give you a new one, as LG and Sears required that you have a certified HVAC Tech' replace it, which is MORE than the compressor, and most folks choose to get a new fridge than to pay the price and deal with Sears. I called everyone to get a replacement compressor and every time LG did NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANY at all. I even sent supporting evidence that the compressor was shot, and still NOTHING. I'm elderly and disabled now, so every penny counts. They both failed to live up to their hype and warranties. The compressor was drawing so much current that it also damaged the main board in the process. Bad design and a bad deal as it failed around 4 years or so of normal household usage. Under the 10 year LG Compressor Replacement Warranty.
Not worth the frustration and the pain.

I had my home's siding and all the windows replaced by Sears. I bought from them because of the lifetime warranty. It was so much more expensive then local contractors, but like I said, I bought it from Sears for the warranty... anyhoo I tried to make a claim, storm broke a couple of windows, and tore off and broke some siding. I called to have them come take care of it, and first they wanted 100 to start the claim. Um why?. Then they told me I would have to pay an unknown person to drive from the bottom of NY, I live at the top, mileage and they pay him/her whatever they charge for labor to fix my windows. And while they are they, that person will take pictures of proof about the siding. Long awful story short, they wanted me to pay tons more unspecified money to someone else to fix my windows and they weren't going to fix my siding either. The lady on the phone told me it was best to just call my home insurance and have them do it... I was soooo upset. Why on earth would I pay so much for Sears to do my siding and windows. When they wouldn't even come take care of their own warranty... I lost thousands of dollars paying Sears to do my work... oh also had to pay someone else to clean up all the glass they left broken on the side of my house all covered up with crap. So folks, use your local contractor or handyman. Even if they don't offer a warranty. It is cheaper... so much cheaper... no wonder Sears is going out of business

This yr my Dad passed and my mom called to inform them of this mind you my Dad had his Sears card since I believe 1968 anyway moms calls the guy on other end says ok your card is canceled excuse me just because it never carry a balance let's just cancel then as my mom tried to explain that she just wanted his card canceled because she has one as well the guy says ok all done and hangs up. Now my mom's upset which understood so I get on phone to find that Sears credit cards are through citi bank bad from the word go. I give the operator all my dad's info the guy says that acct guess he's the one closed it I proceeded to tell him that he closed my mom's card acct as well he told that she had to reapply. I asked why was told that two Accts in same household wasn't allowed I call B. S so ask for supervisor he says he's out to lunch this was at 3pm. I say what have him call me. 4 days later I call back mind you I have full power of Attorney for estate supervisor tells me he can't talk to me regarding acct even after he's informed as to I was. As is it goes along he finely tells me that after the 45 mins plus I waited for him and the half hour or so getting him to understand what was happening. He tells that he can't do anything regarding my mom's card because it's been to long after 72 hrs it's irreversible now mad tell him had he called me back in reasonable time it could be fixed. I guarantee if money was owed they would hound her relentlessly. The next statement from him is tell her reapply good by and he hangs. I will never buy another item from Sears I've even canceled both Citibank and Sears card.

Getting lots of reports that when you buy a product from Sears that arrives broken, breaks down or is just plain NOT what you ordered, you have just entered the first level of the 10 levels of customer service hell! If you call for repairs, the techs have you sit at home all day and never show up and tell you that they did. You can go weeks and months round and round with them and if you get em too pissed, the "human" customer service agents just hang up on you. So if you're looking for new appliances or a snow blower, your best bet is to go ANYWHERE but Sears. Once they get your money, they no longer care if you spend another dime there, which is odd for a company that size, but here we are. If you don't mind messed up orders (if you get them at all) and if you can afford to wait weeks or months for a refund that ultimately may never come, then you may want to take a chance, but based on what I'm seeing and hearing on their social media pages, Sears is the LAST PLACE ON EARTH you want to shop for ANYTHING! You've been warned.

The last replacement is doing the same thing's and it's unexceptionable do too the damage that it has when it was bought too Me I payed for a New a got a beat up glued up refrigerator!
I was told by Steve that you all will not allow Me too receive a new refrigerator, I have been a long time customer for over eleven year's and this is Unacceptable,
I would appreciate if you could please override your customer service and grant Me with a new refrigerator another brand I ok with it being white at this point I just want what was paid for,
Unfortunately My Mom has passed and four other family members last year, I also loss My job for taking time off from work dealing with this matter,
I beg you too please help Me.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
