Sears.com Advertised Shipping for Orders of $35 or More, then charged shipping. I cancelled order, they Fraudulently Shipped Internet

I don't feel I should be responsible to ship an item from an order that was cancelled in a very timely manner and was assured by Sears Customer Service the order was cancelled and a full refund would be provided on 12/10, 12/11 and 12/12.

I'm uncertain why USAetail.com is referring to me as a "customer" when it was clearly stated I had no rights to cancel order with them only Sears.  I understand it that Sears is the "customer" of USAetail.com and would be liable for any shipping or restock fees.  I never knowingly entered into a consumer relationship with USAetail.com!!!!!  I placed an order on sears.com with "Sears" branding and cancelled the order in a timely manner with a "Sears" associate.

Thank you.

Attached is a forwarded e-mail I received from your sub contractor (or whatever relationship Sears maintains with them).  When I placed and cancelled the order due to deceptive advertising with Sears I had no knowledge or reasonable expectation I would be dealing with USAetail.  I was given assurances that the order was cancelled by Sears employees on several occasions and was informed a full refund would be given on 12/12 and would take 3-5 days.

 Sears entered into a business relationship with USAetail.com and as indicated only Sears could cancel the order.  This information was provided to me by an anonymous source from a USAetail.com.  The only named individual at USAetail.com that I have had contact with is Martin, who specifically indicated that I will receive no refund!  i'm not comfortable with paying restocking fees or shipping fees to return an item that Sears associates assured me was cancelled and I'd be receiving a refund in 3-5 days.  To date I have been misled as to "free shipping" from Sears, that my order was cancelled and I'd receive a full refund in 3-5 days by Sears associates, had no knowledge of USAetail's business practices (which are clearly visible on their website, and if that information was provided by Sears prior to the order taking place I would have never placed the order), and am getting conflicting information as the whether or not I will receive a refund if I ship (at my expense which is unacceptable for an order shipped that was cancelled and confirmed by Sears' associates) from USAetail.com.  The fact that the associate at USAetail.com sent the email anonymously has me concerned as to the validity of the statements makes me extremely uncomfortable shipping the item.

 At this point I think the best solution would be to have me return the items to the local Santa Clarita store and receive my refund for those two items at that time Sears to provide a account number for Fed Ex etc. to pay to ship to their location and provide me an immediate refund.

  I have 0 confidence in Sears or USAetail.com at this time as both companies have behaved in a disrespectful, unethical manner in all communications to this point.

Thank you.

Todd Marquardt

Dear Customer, 

 

Sears Contacts us to cancel orders. They do not cancel our orders. We were contacted by them but at that time it was too late. We are aware of the situation with Martin and we also heard you verbally abusing him as well. He told you that the order has not been cancelled and if it were cancelled the item would not have been shipped. Not all orders can be cancelled after they have been placed. The order was shipped the same day we received the order. We are willing to waive the restocking fee and shipping charge but you will be responsible for sending the item back. 

 

 

 

 

Best Regards,

I was informed by Martin (he claims) at USAetail.com that they will not accept the return and refund my money.  He was verbally abusive as well.  He stated that the only one who could cancel an order is USAetail.com and that the consumer is not allowed to cancel orders and Sears is behind them with this policy.

 

SEARS NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
