Order# W646736 Sears parts direct.I placed an order for a water filter and an air filter totaling $121.06. They never shipped out the water filter claiming its out of stock.

Sears Appliance Services were called and paid $752.03 on January 31, 2025 for repair on the labor and parts of a washing machine. On 2/5/2025 the parts arrived at the house. An appointment was set for 2/11/25. The repairman never arrived. Another appointment was scheduled for 2/27. No repair person arrived. I cancelled any future appointments because of their unreliability and the need to have the washing machine repaired. I requested a refund on 2/27 and was told to wait for 21 days for a resolution. Subsequently, I have called Sears Repair Services several times and I have a gotten recorded AI messages named "********". I did speak to an customer service person, *******, the week of April 1 who told me I was to receive a refund of $569.07 because I kept the parts to the washing machine that I paid for on 1/31/2025. I want my money refunded for services never rendered.Business Response

Order number: *************** Sears ************ visited our home on Jan 30, 2025 and ordered three parts to repair our dryer. The parts arrived and the service technician returned to our home on Feb 4 to install the parts. On Feb 4, the technician realized that the parts he ordered would not help and that he had misdiagnosed the issue. He informed us that we would be credited for $472 for the unused parts, which he took with him when he left. (Note that the issue was that we needed to replace the dryer circuit breaker, which we did later that day using another company.)We have yet to be refunded the $472. We have escalated the claim with Sears ************ and have called weekly for the last 6 weeks. Each time, we are told that the company has one week to address the escalated issue. Each time, we wait a week and are told that the clock reset the prior time we called. We have asked to have a supervisor contact us to resolve this issue and have been promised a phone call that has never arisen.Notes: On Feb 21 we called and the refund request had not been initiated so it was on that date. We were told that the refund would be issued within 14 days. On March 6, we were told that the claim was filed on Feb 21 and that Sears had 21 days to respond. On March 17, the matter was escalated to a supervisor and we were told we would hear in 7 days via email. On March 25, we were told they meant 7 business days and not 7 days. On April 7, we were told that the 7 days expired April 8 and to call back on the 9th.We would like our refund ASAP and do not know how else to proceed so are turning to the BBB for assistance.Thank you!Business Response

I scheduled an appointment with Sears Home Services (SHS) to repair my oven. The first appointment was 1.31.25, which they cancelled. I was gone for 15 days.

That didn't happen. The second part arrived at my home, in the meantime. I then had 5 appointments to complete the job. All 5 appointments were cancelled by ***. I ultimately hired another company to complete the repair. The appointment situation was a joke. I then called to see why I hadn't gotten my refund of $128.12 and was assured that I would get it in 14 working days. I did not get it. I called again today and received the same assurance but have no confidence that it will happen. The service ****** would not provide me an email to confirm the refund or even our conversation. I would like the BBB's help to obtain my refund and grade down the service of this company. I have original documents if they are needed.Business Response

I made a warranty claim for my washing machine with sears *************). At this point I am being scammed, as sears is making no good faith attempts to replace my washing machine. On 3/1/25; 3/10/25; and 3/22/25 I was promised delivery of my washing machine. All of the three scheduled dates were part of Sears deception to not delivery my washing machine. On these dates the delivery company informed me that the washing machine was not provided to them by sears to deliver. Sears did not have the decency to inform me of their lack of providing the washing machine to the delivery company. In addition to filing the claim, I spoke to ***** ***** ****** Valero, and skylor who all gave me problems to provided a washing machine that paired with my drying machine. This was another antagonizing tactic of sears to prevent delivery of my washing machine. Since I have filed this claim (February 2, 2025) I have been spending no less that $20 per week on laundromats, as well as dry cleaners due to some clothing that needs to be placed on delicate cycle. During this time four small children began to get rashes from the clothing, causing to have to switch to a laundromat even further away (more inconvenience). Furthermore on these three deceptive delivery dates I had to pay babysitters for four small children. At this point I have been past the point of inconvenienced, I am being robbed. If sears cannot provide to me my replacement washing machine that I am entitled to as a paying customer of their warranty I am herby recommending and demanding that sears close down immediately. Furthermore if sears is not going to provide me with my washing machine the New York State Attorney General and ************** Department of Consumer Affairs needs to be notified immediately to prevent scandals of others and stop this behavior of sears. I need to speak with the director of Sears warranty section to facilitate getting my replacement washing machine delivered.Business Response
