On May 5, I ordered a recommended vacuum cleaner, item number 02021514000. There were no vacuum cleaner bags in stock nor any indication of when they would be available, so I searched for the bags and found them on Amazon. On the same site, I saw the same vacuum cleaner for $88 less than the Sears price. Within 15 minutes I called to cancel my order with Sears and was told I could not. That is irritating enough, that they have no system in place to cancel an order within 15 minutes of it being made. The representative with whom I spoke said I would have to return it when it was delivered, but suggested instead that she could check the Amazon price and if it was the same vacuum cleaner, offer me a price match. She did check, it was identical, so she said she would process the price match. Therefore, on good faith, I did not return the vacuum cleaner. Since I had not heard from them as of June 3, I called and spoke with a different representative, who, after a lengthy time, said that even though it wasn't my fault, that their representative had been wrong, they nonetheless could not offer a price match because Amazon didn't have a retail store. However, as a special one time courtesy to me for this inconvenience, Sears would offer me a 10% refund. The 10% is $25. Nowhere near the $88 I was told I would receive. This is inexcusable. It is not my fault that the first representative was misinformed. Had she given me the correct information, I would have returned the vacuum cleaner and ordered it from Amazon. I find it deplorable that this is the way Sears chose to handle this matter. The vacuum cleaner arrive promptly and seems fine, and both representatives were very courteous. However, the management decision to disregard what I was told would happen is indicative of an organization that is not concerned with its customers.
Description of Work: Ordered a vacuum cleaner; then found it for $88 less on Amazon. Was promised a price match. Did not receive it, and was not notified that I wasn't going to receive it.

From start to finish, this was the worst experience I have ever had. All I wanted was to buy a dishwasher. Sears is just too big and has lost all control over quality, accuracy, efficiency, flexibility and complaint resolution. I feel sorry for the Stores because once they sell something it is totally out of their hands in regards to the Customer Experience. That's too bad because it's not hard to buy something, but it sure is hard to get good service after the fact from Sears. Good service generates loyalty, not a darn rewards card. It's unfortunate that Sears has over 250,000 employees because as Sears continues to crumble, those people will lose their jobs and it will all be due to the big shots CEO's, CFO's, and board of directors who are more interested in their balance sheets and bonuses and being the biggest. Biggest doesn't mean best. I always thought it was good to have immediate response when I had a problem, someone to answer the phone, which is what Sears offered. Well, my opinion has changed. I'd rather deal with a small local business who will take the bull by the horns and fix a problem right away and use some common sense, even if I do get his answering machine when I first call. The odds are against customers who elect to buy major items from Sears. 1500 Customer Solutions Reps, versus You--1 person. How much time do you have to spend calling and talking to multiple reps who never resolve an easy problem. You're rolling the dice when you buy something major from Sears. Think about how much time you will lose and never get back in the infinite run-around.
Description of Work: Went to the retail store at golf Mill in Niles, IL. Bought a dishwasher, over the stove microwave, garbage disposer, plus service contracts on the major appliances. The dishwasher was a Frigidaire. Not even a month and repair had to come out because the unit wasn't working. It was a bad control panel, so the repairman said to the store and tell them you want a replacement. I did that, and the nice associate at the store dialed up Sears Solutions and told them this was a warranty item and that I wanted a replacement. That's when it went downhill. The Solutions rep did everything wrong. I ended up having to pay for a second installation for the replacement unit (eventually Sears Corporate credited it). A replacement dishwsher was sent and this time a Sears contractor installed it. He did such a lousey job that the door wouldn't open, right after he left, and he got water all over my brand new sink base cabinet and the veneer bubbled up, plus he screwed the legs of the machine into the floor. I still have no working dishwasher, and left the one as is so someone could see what a horrible installation the contractor did. To date, I have gone full circle with Sears, all the way to corporate, and in the end, I am left talking with the contractor who installed it. It took since May 1 for a damage claim to even be filed, and that is why now I am talking to the contractor because he wants to come out and see what was done by his guy. Sears offered to pay my own contractor to remove the old one and put a new one in, but my contractor doesn't want to get involved. He was there the day the Sears contractor put it in and I overheard him say, "how can this guy sleep at night". The Sears contractor is still telling me it is not unusual for them to screw the legs into the floor--I haven't found a manual that says to do that for the install, nor was my first unit screwed into the floor. It is now 15 days since the replacement was installed and I'm inching forward. It is unfortunate that I have spent hours of my time over the defective dishwasher that was delivered when the first Solutions rep should have processed a warranty replacement, and under that the replacement would have been installed for free, but even so, that wouldn't have prevented the contractor from doing such a horrible job installing the replacement. I am left wondering what the heck to do. I was told to get an estimate on repairing the floor and sink base by Sears, and that I have 90 days to replace the 2nd unit. Now I have to give up more hours of my life just because I bought a major appliance from Sears.
