5/5

posted Jun-24-2010
I order from Sears about once or twice per month and although I like their store pickup option the online processing time takes too long.
For online orders, they provide a tracking number within 1 to 2 business days, but in most cases it would take an extra couple of days before it is picked up by the shipper.
If you have a store nearby I suggest an in-store pickup. Assuming your store is still open, within less than an hour you can an email that your item(s) is available for pickup. Disregard the 5-minute goal and the "on-time" scoreboard. Employees abuse both the clock and therefore the scoreboard. Most of my orders are picked up within 5 to 10 minutes though.
I did have a bad experience once, where I had to dispute a charge because the item was no longer available and no one at the store or the 800# was able to cancel. The 800# rep told me to dispute the charge and it will somehow get resolved (it did!). That was a couple of years ago.
These days, their chat customer service is superb.
Overall, the only thing I would change is their online shipping.
