Purchased a tiller from Sears, one of the big professional models.  Out of the box it the starter mechanism would not engage.  Sears sent out a third party to fix and the tech told me that the tiller had a manufactures defect.

Tech ordered the parts, had them sent to my home and I had to install them.  Tiller started fine, but I thought the Sears two year warranty covered parts and labor

I used the tiller and two of the tines broke.  Tines are supposed to be made of hardended steel and are not supposed to break.  Sears sent me the parts, but again I had to remove the broken ones and install the new ones.  I thought the Sears two year warranty covered parts and labor

Last week the tiller would not start.  Sears sent their thrid party repair service out and they refuse to fix under the warranty.

Do not purchase anything from Sears that my reuire repair as they no longer service what they sell.....and they do not honor their warranties.

"Sears Cares" MY BUTT

AUTHOR: Cory - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, June 10, 2011

What is it with you people? You come on these sites and act as if you give a d**n. IS IT SOME TYPE OF DAMAGE CONTROL? Wouldn't it be simplier to just do it RIGHT THE FIRST TIME? I MEAN REALLY. Last month I bought a big screen TV. Paid for it AND for delivery($79) the following Saturday. The usualy BS about they will call you on Friday night and give you a "window" for the time on Saturday when they will deliver the TV. FRIDAY night they call and say they will deliver it between 8AM and 12PM. Hey, I'm amazed they DIDN'T screw it up and call my installer and schedule HIM to come out once they've delivered the TV. Off to work I go Saturday morning leaving the old lady fat, dumb and happy waiting for her new TV. About 2 hours later, I get a call from a pissed off wife telling me they called TO CANCEL. The DUMB SOB's FORGOT TO PICK UP THE TV AT THE STORE. I mean they had a week to figure it out and they f**ked it up. I'm livid. I get on the phone and call the 800 delivery number and talk to some baboo MF, who barley speaks English, who keeps saying she's sorry AND OFFERING ME a $40 gift card for my troubles AND they'll TRY next week. After I RAG on her some more, she UPS it to TWO $40 gift cards, the price for the delivery charge. THEN, I spend most of the following week ON THE PHONE, TO THE STORE, TO THE  WAREHOUSE, TO THE DELIVERY SERVICE, MAKING SURE they're gonna deliver my TV the next Saturday. I had to speak to someone each and every day of the week to make SURE it got done. I got names, times. I think THE ONLY REASON I got my TV delivered was because they were sick and tired of hearing from me. Read CONSUMER REPORT MAGAZINE this month. They mention YOU GUYS, about your vaulted BLUE CREW and about HOW BAD you are. How the "BLUE CREW" will leave you with the blues. You guys suck. Instead of spending all that money on TV ads, you ought to spend it on training and IMPROVING customer service. It's funny, I stopped buying from sears 15 years ago for just this very reason and NOTHING HAS changed. You still suck at what you do.

Please remember that you are now dealing with K MART and NOT the Sears Roebuck of old

The K MART values are a good bit lower than Sears of old.
