As our return policy period has expired, we contacted the manufacturer, [redacted] and this is what they had to say: “First of all rust is excluded from the warranty. And the warranty specifically states: Though its powder-coated finish is rust-resistant, steel is prone to rust over time with exposure to the elements. In case of rust or scratches, lightly sand the affected area and apply touch-up paint. To maintain the finish periodically apply wax with a soft cloth. As far as the finish, the warranty states that Discoloration or fading of the finish as a result of exposure to the elements, chemicals, or spills is not covered. Since the customer had not had the set for that long, we made an exception to the warranty and told her that we would send her a new swivel top and bottom, a new table rim and touch up paint. She told us not to ship the items because she was at her winter home. We did not hear anything again until a few weeks ago when she filed another claim through our website. We told her we were prepared to send the parts if she was ready for them and that is when she informed us that she was working with Sears to get a refund and that she was not happy with the quality of the finish and that she would let us know what Sears does about it.” [redacted] is still willing to provide the aforementioned resolution, but the offer will only be extended for 30 days from the date of this letter. Should Ms. [redacted] wish to accept, she may contact Samantha with [redacted] during normal business hours at [redacted] within that time frame. We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns. Sincerely, [redacted] Regulatory Complaint Specialist Sears Holdings Corporation [redacted]
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: While I did receive a refund, my main concern was Sears not upholding a written contract with a customerThey had a contract stating they would provide complete services for X amount of moneyThen they did not provide the contracted services, expected me to pay above the contracted amount to get the services done, and were completely unresponsive in resolving the problemThen it took weeks to get a refund - which was their end decisionUpholding a contract should matterI still maintain that they didn't provide the services they contracted for - they are in breach of contractFuture customers should be made aware that these issues happen when dealing with Sears Sincerely, Derek [redacted]

July 29, Nita [redacted] Revdex.com North Wabash Ave., Ste#Chicago, IL Re: # [redacted] – Justin [redacted] Dear Ms [redacted] We have completed the investigation of Mr [redacted] rebuttal We have reviewed both our response and Mr [redacted] rebuttal, and we do not find that he has brought any new information to his complaintThe fact remains that his original purchase was made on October 28, The manufacturer’s warranty for Mr [redacted] current unit states: “for six years from the date of purchase, if this water heater is installed and operated in a single family home in accordance the owner’s manual instructions and all local applicable plumbing codes, Sears will: supply a free water heater for one that develops a leak.” Notice the statement says “for six years from the date of purchase.” Mr [redacted] did not purchase his current unit or the one he had before; it was given to him as fulfillment of the warranty for his original modelHis original purchase was made in and for six years after that date, if the water heater in his home should fail, he would be provided with a replacementThat was done twice as we mentioned before, but now the warranty period has expired since his purchase was made over years agoAccordingly, Mr [redacted] is not entitled to replacements in perpetuity under the manufacturer’s warranty and any repair or replacement costs would now be his responsibility Again, we are willing to discount the purchase of a new water heater from Sears by 10% off of the lowest price as a courtesyThis would apply in addition to any current sale prices, but not to close out, clearance, previously used, floor model or outlet merchandise and is only valid for days from the date of this letter; after that, it will be null and voidUnfortunately, we are not always able to arrive at a resolution that would meet with a consumer’s complete satisfaction, since we do not find that all requests are reasonable and therefore within our power to grant In Mr [redacted] case, we do apologize that we failed his expectations, but our response is in accordance with the terms of his manufacturer’s warranty and our decision is final We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns Sincerely, Tammie [redacted] Regulatory Complaint Specialist Sears Holdings Corporation [redacted] @searshc.com
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I never asked for a full refundall I wanted was my itemsOnce I received my refund and tried to place the order 2/of my items were no longer in stock which was due to the amount of time it took to complete the investigation which is not fair to me or my children I shopped early enough in the year to avoid a situation like this from happeningNow all u can say is she's received a full refund What about the merchandise which is what I've always requested from the very beginning The store was well aware that the items were lost so this investigation could've been closed immediately and my kids would still be getting the items I ordered for Christmas Now with less than a week before Christmas my kids are not getting the items they wantedLook how long it took to respond to the complaint I posted which demonstrates that my patronage is not valued Check my order history I've done a lot of business with sears, but maybe I need to reconsider Like I've always said all I wanted was the items I ordered Sincerely, [redacted]

May 25, 2017 [redacted] RevDex.com 330 North Wabash Ave., Ste. #2006 Chicago, IL 60611 Re: [redacted] Dear Ms. [redacted] We have completed the investigation of Ms. [redacted] complaint regarding her patio set.... As our return policy period has expired, we contacted the manufacturer, [redacted] and this is what they had to say: “First of all rust is excluded from the warranty. And the warranty specifically states: Though its powder-coated finish is rust-resistant, steel is prone to rust over time with exposure to the elements. In case of rust or scratches, lightly sand the affected area and apply touch-up paint. To maintain the finish periodically apply wax with a soft cloth. As far as the finish, the warranty states that Discoloration or fading of the finish as a result of exposure to the elements, chemicals, or spills is not covered. Since the customer had not had the set for that long, we made an exception to the warranty and told her that we would send her a new swivel top and bottom, a new table rim and touch up paint. She told us not to ship the items because she was at her winter home. We did not hear anything again until a few weeks ago when she filed another claim through our website. We told her we were prepared to send the parts if she was ready for them and that is when she informed us that she was working with Sears to get a refund and that she was not happy with the quality of the finish and that she would let us know what Sears does about it.” [redacted] is still willing to provide the aforementioned resolution, but the offer will only be extended for 30 days from the date of this letter. Should Ms. [redacted] wish to accept, she may contact Samantha with [redacted] during normal business hours at [redacted] within that time frame. We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns. Sincerely, [redacted] Regulatory Complaint Specialist Sears Holdings Corporation [redacted]
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: While I did receive a refund, my main concern was Sears not upholding a written contract with a customerThey had a contract stating they would provide complete services for X amount of moneyThen they did not provide the contracted services, expected me to pay above the contracted amount to get the services done, and were completely unresponsive in resolving the problemThen it took weeks to get a refund - which was their end decisionUpholding a contract should matterI still maintain that they didn't provide the services they contracted for - they are in breach of contractFuture customers should be made aware that these issues happen when dealing with Sears Sincerely, Derek [redacted]
