Sears Home Improvement installed siding on my home. The work occurred during a time when i had emergency surgery and was unable to inspect the project completely. Prior to contracting for the project, when I met with the salesman he specifically agreed to see that front columns maintain the shape and form of the wood. After the job, there were spaces and areas over the entire area that need caulking. The appearance of the columns was nothing like we had been promised. The job also stated that all wood would be covered however in the back some wood was not covered.

The next day the sales man looked at the work and agreed that it did not meet expectations. That was the last I heard from him. The area manager, Robert Gironimi, would not respond to e mails to schedule a conference and instead sent the repairman who had been the installer. I had to have someone else here that day and they did send the installer away because the person who had authority (Robert Gironmi) to make decisions did not come. Mr. Gironimi has since failed to set a time to look at the issues. I am extremely disappointed that Sears, a company with a long history, has reduced themselves to poor workmanship and even poorer customer service.

Hi Discouraged76225,

Please accept our sincere apologies for the disappointment and frustration you've encountered with your dishwasher. My name is Scott and I'm part of the Sears Cares Social Media Support Team. We came across your post here and wanted to establish contact with you. We understand how difficult it is to be without the appliances we have come to depend on. Sears does not manufacture the appliances we sell. Most appliances have a limited 1 year manufacturer's warranty, while others have warranties that can last for two or more years for parts. Beyond the manufacturer's warranty, Sears does have protection agreement warranties available for purchase, much like purchasing an extended automobile warranty. If an extended warranty is not purchased, parts & labor costs would be a customer's responsibility. We'd be happy to look into this for you and speak with you regarding your dishwasher. At your convenience, please contact our office via email at [email protected] and a dedicated case manager will contact you directly. In the email, please provide a contact phone number and the phone number the dishwasher was purchased under (if different than the contact phone number). Also, in your email, please provide your screen name (Discouraged76225) you used to post on this site, for reference to your issue. We do look forward to speaking with you soon.

Thank you,

My name is Brian and I am part of the Sears Social Media Escalations team. After reading your post, I have to say I am very concerned, and would like to offer my team's help in making this right. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment surrounding your online purchase. Third party vendors can best be viewed as separate retailers that lease selling space on Sears.com. We'd be happy to connect you with one of our dedicated case managers who can help you communicate and work with the vendor in question on a solution.

At your convenience, please contact our office via email at [email protected] so you don’t have to continue to be frustrated by this.

"B. Sears support should back up their products ( or don't sell such poorly manufactured ones)"

They do through warranties.

"C. Not send sales reps to rip off their customers."

Whatever you think you were told is superseded by what you actually signed.

This dishwasher was purchased new in 2007. Along with a built in microwave and stove. I have had nothing but problems with all three kenmore appliances. But the dishwasher in question, I have had to pay sears to come out and repair 4 times. And once again, it is not working properly. There is always a problem with sealers or the main switchboard or the hand/latch system. You name it! So the last time I had a problem with the dishwasher, approximately 1 1/2 yrs ago, I was urged by the Sears phone representative to purchase the lifetime protection warranty for an additional cost. So that if there were any problems in the future, at least I would not have to pay for them. I purchased the extra warranty at that time
So today I called to make yet another appointment, and the representative said that my warranty had expired. She stated that it was only good for one year and asked if I wanted to purchase another one. I attempted to explain to her that I had purchased a lifetime warranty, and she stated that the option doesn't exist. So basically, the other sales person lied to me!!!
I am a single mother of 3 children under the age of 7. I expect just as anyone else should, that when I buy a sears appliance it should:
A. Work for more than 2 yrs without encountering problems
B. Sears support should back up their products ( or don't sell such poorly manufactured ones)
C. Not send sales reps to rip off their customers.

The return policy clearly states that ONLY Sears items will be accepted at Sears stores for return. 3rd party orders, like yours, get returned by shipping to the online retailer. READ the policy again.

Absolve yourself of your ignorance and consult their return policy that you agreed to.

Was told by catalog order dept. 866-349-4358 if item not right take to any Sears store for credit. Waterford, CT store refused to take item: fireplace door/screen back. I want a full credit of $399.27 plus the cost of returning item back to bj's for $37.20. Sears bought the item from BJs who in turn bought it from Shopzeus.

I have written and spoke to Sears headquarters in Hoffman Estates, IL and they will not do anything but issue me a credit of only $308.78 to my Sears card. This amount in not acceptable..

I want the $399.27 plus the return shipping costs of $37.20.

Yet another self-entitled prick who thinks all services should be free.

I brought my truck in to have a tire replaced that was under warranty. I am still waiting and it has been over an hour. They have not even brought my truck into the bay. Are they busy? Does not appear so! There are about 4 guys watching a 5th play with some fancy rims and stereo on some other car. Two other guys are dancing around in the auto bay. Meanwhile, I am sitting here on the most uncomfortable chairs waiting.

Reserved service for Sears between 1-5 p.m. Tech calls at 4:20 to say he would be an hour. He shows up and, based solely on what I tell him, says 'it looks like it is the control board' for the oven. He didn't remove any panels and used only the same information I had given to Sears Online when I requested the service. He was at my home less than 10 minutes and demanded $70, yet he did absolutely nothing. He said he didn't have the part needed and it would be two weeks before I could get scheduled again.

The thing is, again, he used the same information I gave Sears when I made the service request to make his 'diagnosis'. I refused to pay him $70 for ten minutes of standing in my kitchen. I called Sears and they said that I had to pay since the man drove to my home. I asked for a supervisor and received Necie, a supposed Case Manager who should be good at dealing with complaints and resolving them. However, she told me that the tech couldn't have known what the problem was and that I owed the $70 for him to come to my home. When I said I wouldn't pay for a service that was NOT provided, she sarcastically informed me that I could take that issue up with the collections office when they start calling me!

I cannot believe the pathetic service that Sears has begun providing. I have always bought from Sears, but this has ruined me from any inclination of dealing with them again! Absolutely pathetic all the way around!

Dear Mr. Johnson,
This is to inform you that I intend to limit all my future purchases with Sears to a must buy policy for parts on previously bought items. I feel insulted by the manner in which your online representative (IMRAN) handled a problem that I had with an internet purchase I made yesterday (3/10/12). Shortly after submitting my purchase order and on the same day, I sent an e-mail stating my error and requesting help in correcting such. I received an e-mail from Imran stating I sent the wrong promo. I did. I typed save $15 and I corrected this by sending another e-mail with SAVE 15. Imran sent me another e-mail on today 3/11/12 stating the promo had expired. It had. Yesterday, when I made the purchase and sent the first e-mail, it was still in effect and expired today. The $15 is not the big issue here. I can absorb that with a smile on my face. But, I refuse to accept being treated in such a manner. I realize that I am only one customer and a big corporation like Sears could care less about losing my business. From what I see on this site, I am not alone and I'm absolutely sure there are many others that feel likewise but are absent here. One plus one = two; plus one = three; ect. ect... Please encourage your company to clean up it's act. From one who used to praise Sears.

why pre-order it when you could've just went to a different store and got it that day. Every store in my area had plenty of copies, and still do today.

I preordered a copy of mass effect 3 collectors edition on feb, 25th. It is now March 9th, the game came out on the 6th, and I have not recieved it. Not only that, but i Have contacted customer service numerous times, the order is still "processing", and as it turns out they do not have it in stock yet.

This is extremely irresponsible for a business to allow preorders and not even have the product in stock days afterwords. I am completely dissatisfied with Sears.

I purchased all new Sears Kenmore appliances spending thousands of dollars from late 2008 until early 2009 and have nothing but isses with each of them from day one.
The biggest issue by far has been the front end washer we purchased in 2008. From the moment we had it delivered and installed it made a loud clunking noise and the clothes just never seemed very clean. I called out service and they said it was "normal" to make a loud noise when it was cycling the water? I figured they knew best because they are the paid professionals. This went on until one day in April 2010 our basement floor was covered in water, I thought I had a pipe burst but, it was the washer.
Then October 2011 the machine stopped working all together. It would fill with water and leak all over but wouldn't spin for a wash cycle let alone a spin cycle leaving me with an unwashed, drenched blanket. I was so upset I immediatley went online. To my surprise, I wasn't the only one with this issue. There were thousands of complaints dating from before I even purchased my set. So, I wondered at that point, why? Why if there were so many manufacturer issues did Sears continue to sell these Kenmore lemons? Why not pull the product until it was no longer a concern and recall the lemons that they sold previously? So, in my frustartion I called Sears repair who tell me because my machine is out of warranty all they can do is set up repair for me to have to pay for out of pocket. I proceed to call customer service and talk to Dave who tells me that due to my machine being out of warranty there was not much he could do however, he had a few options available.
Option #1- He advised me to call there warranty department and purchase an extended warranty. He advised I do not tell them I am having issues of course and then to call and set up an appointment with repair after the extended warranty is purchased. (Isn't that fraud?)
Option #2- A 10% discount up to $100.00 towards the purchase of a new machine which he assured me they have worked all the bugs out of by now (Um no thanks)
Option #3- A $50.00 credit towards the repair of the unit (keep in mind it can cost up to 800.00 for repair depending on damage)

At this point I am beyond upset, I am disgusted and insulted that Sears would after all the years they have been around even suggest such things. I would love to get the publics attention on this and am filing complaints with the BBB and Attorney General.
This is an outrage to say the least. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE ANY SEARS KENMORE APPLIANCES THEY ALL HAVE ISSUES!

3/3/2012
called Sears on Mar1; advised them of the problem I have w/my washer...they were given the make and style of the appliance. Advised Sears I had another company come out and look at the appliance and what the issue was. It needed a timer. Made the appointment service guy came out as scheduled ; but no part. Now I have to wait another 6 days for the repair. Calling Chesapeake Service District in Glen Burnie Md; I've been on hold for 25 mins; and as I type ; i am 20mins on hold awaiting a Supervisor.
I agree with other customers. Sears needs to look at it's customer service base or lack of it. Should I get this washer repaired; I WILL NEVER USE SEARS again, let alone KMART.

On 6/1/10, Tuesday, I called for service because my washer was leaking again.

My complaint is that I felt that the washer's leaking hose problem is the same problem I called about previously, on 3/18 and which should have been discovered during the 3/26 visit while the washer was still under warranty (which expied on 4/1/10). I feel that I should be refunded for the service and labor charges.

This complaint about Sears Home Service is valid and still on-going; it's much too long and exasperating to detail here. I just want everyone out there to know that these folks have such abysmal customer service. There were way too many people handling this complaint. Not counting the 3 different people I spoke with during the problem with scheduling the return visit, there were at least 12 personnel from various departments, 6 of them from Customer Solutions alone! I have had to re-state my complaint too many times. The billing dispute form isn't even accurate in describing my complaint. There is a tremendous lack of cohesion within the Customer Solutions department in Hoffman Estates, Il., as well as at the Chesapeake Service District in Glen Burnie, MD. I will never again shop at Sears or Kmart and will definitely never use Sears Home Service for any reason.

On 03/10/11 Sears Credit Cards deducted an unauthorized amount of $850.00 from my checking account, as opposed to deducting the authorized amount of $35.00. After discovering this unauthorized deduction, I filed a fraudulent claim with Horizon bank against Sears. Sears deposited $815.41 into my checking account on 03/18/11, On 03/15/11, Sears made a second unauthorized deduction from my account in the amount of $850.41. Per my Sears account recordings and statements, my account balance was $1850.00. I was told by Cynthia, Bob, and many others that I was charged this amount because Sears deposited two amounts of $850.41 into my checking account. I attempted to rectify this stressful situation via telephone conversations and faxed bank statements, reflecting their inaccuracies, to no avail. I am requesting that my Sears credit account reflect the accurate balance of approximately $550.00, and that all fees, charges, and credit report information be corrected and/or refunded.

I am requesting that a written apology and monies be given to me for the unnecessary frustration, stress, and financial hardship that I endured as a result of Sear's fraudulent business practices. If my request are not honored, I will seek legal representation and contact several News stations.
