Sears
No Customer Service

Dear Mr. Freidheim:

Just a note to let you know that after 60 years of doing business with Sears I will no longer be doing so. Additionally, I will no longer step foot in any business that is owned directly or indirectly with the Sears name. My parents and Grand Parents before them shopped at Sears. That’s a long history.

We bought a washer and dryer from Sears on December 10. After much research through Consumer Reports and reading customer comments we decided that it was probably a good choice. It was and remains so as of this writing. Our problem is not with the merchandise. It’s with your Price Adjustment Policy.

We noticed that the price on our purchase had dropped by $385.00 by December 25. We filed a request under that policy but today received a very unprofessional response saying “Whoops! You’re too late”. Who writes such unprofessional responses? After over 90 minutes on the phone, talking to 6 different folks from Mumbai to I don’t know where, I was simply told over and over that it was out of the 14 day policy.

I listened to all these folks tap dance on a razor blade to the point where it was obviously a waste of my time to continue asking to speak to a decision maker. Where I come from the sale isn’t consummated until the merchandise has been delivered and signed for. That means our purchase didn’t occur until December 11. That also means we are within the time limits of Sears Price Adjustment Policy. Additionally, our cash payment wasn’t debited from our account until December 11 on the very day we took delivery of the merchandise. Until then the clock should not have been ticking. At one point we were offered a 5% refund of the purchase price which we declined.

Should we hear from you or anyone else at Sears with the promise to refund us the $385.00 we requested then of course we would revisit our current decision to no longer frequent your store fronts. Should we never receive a response then there is simply no re-thinking to do. We have no interest in gift cards from Sears as well. We simply want Sears to do the right thing and return the difference in price between what we paid and what it was reduced to a few days later. Not to much to ask for in the world I come from and goes a long way towards customer service that up to this point has been almost nonexistent.
