Time warp? ;)

Maybe Sears just got the Y2K bug.

That's just to illustrate how preturbed I am by the situation...

Will modify my op.

I am in middle of a similar situation. Ordered a vaccum cleaner for store pickup. Web site says shipped. CS says I picked it up already. No one can tell me where it actually is. At least they didn't charge my CC yet which makes me think the order was never actually fulfilled.

With most of my sears screw ups I usually have luck talking with HR. For some reason they are helpful.

I ordered a patio set. And when I went to pick it up they couldn't find it. Lady at the store was extremely nice. Gave me a nicer set and refunded a bunch of my order. It was extremely nerve racking as it was erev shabbos.
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

I agree, milk them for what they're worth! The only people you're "stealing" from is people who are stupid enough to still:
1. Work for Sears
2. Invest in Sears
3. Lend money to Sears

Even with the quotes? Sorry, didn't mean it offensively.

It got delivered but not installed, BH. Thanks all for your help.

More chaos and confusion:
1. Delivery time scheduled for 2-4pm.
2. I call at 12:30pm and they say eta 2:30pm or so.
3. At 1pm the guy calls and says he's 5 minutes away
4. The delivery people refuse to install it.
5. Sears still isn't sure whether they'll send someone to install it, reimburse the installation, or what.
6. I requested a full refund from the person whose been helping me, I'm still waiting for her to get back to me on that.

So they don't think they have someone to install it, but are willing to reimburse me:

Quote from: email from Sears
I am still working on requesting installation. If you feel that it would be faster to find your own installer, we can reimburse you for installation if you send the bill to me.

How much can I get away with billing them for installation? Can I get someone to do it for $800 and send them the bill?

Is that email from blue ribbon service, or regular CS?

I can do it for $2500  :P
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

SearsMemberServicesC@searshc.com, but it's not at all their first email.

I doubt they'd pay it though...
