I ordered a BBQ gas grill from Sears online and had it shipped to my local Sears store. The final order page said that it would be available for pickup in 12-14 days, pending email confirmation. I never received an email nor did I hear a word from Sears. However, I received my credit card statement and was charged for the item.
So I contacted the local Sears store and had no idea what happened to it. Then I called Sears 800 number where I was told that the item was “ready for pickup” but they also showed no inventory for it!!! The guy then checked the inventory at a store 40 miles away. My grill was in stock there. So he canceled the original order, placed a new order and drove the 40 miles to pick it up. That was on Saturday (July 2). Today, July 5, I finally had time to un-crate it in order to put it together.
However, I discovered that it was so damaged that it is unusable!!! I called Sears.com twice and they were no help. Then I called the store during normal business hours more than a dozen times and couldn’t get ANYONE to actually answer the phone. However, I finally tried saying “Store Manager” and finally got someone to answer. I told the assistant store manager that I thought Sears should come and pick it up in order to exchange it.
No go. No sympathy. Basically, I’m screwed. So I’ll spend another $15 in gas money to correct another Sears screw up. I’m asking for a refund. I don’t want an exchange.
Sears then brought my new mattress and box springs, took old out and set it on my front lawn, said there was no room on truck for old. Would be back to pick it up, never returned, numerous phone calls, Sears did not call me back as promised. Trucking Co. said now they would remove it on Saturday, they brought the new on Thursday! If they took a new one off the truck why was there no room for the old one. Person at Co. who delivered it was very hard to understand, could get no satisfaction from them.
If they do not remove it tomorrow, I’m stopping payment on my new mattress and box springs.
