What do you think about Sears?

[UCGal]

I’ve always liked Sears for appliances and tools. They also carry Lands End clothing in their stores – and you can return Lands End ordered stuff to Sears for a refund. (Nice if it doesn’t fit right – less hassle than mailing it back.)

From what I’ve seen in San Diego – the K-Marts were converted to “Sears Essentials”. The full blown Sears at the UTC mall is better than the Sears Essentials at Convoy and Clairemont Mesa Blvd.

I refuse to go into either Walmart or Kmart. Walmart because it’s far too crowded. When I go to a store, it’s to go directly (as in non-stop) to one or more specific sections, browse around, pick up a few things, then bolt for the cashier. Traffic jams in aisles make me ponder taking up terrorism. I MUCH prefer Target and I’m willing to pay more for it.

The last several times I went in a Kmart, many years ago, it looked like a clothing bomb had gone off – like a whirlwind of classless slobs looking for deals ransacked the place, and it’s so understaffed that they just didn’t bother to clean it up. I didn’t see anything about a sale going on. Who looks at a piece of merchandise and then drops it directly onto the floor? Not anyone I’d want to share a store with.

Sears for tools, always. Bought a little fridge for the man-cave there, too.

However, more and more, Amazon.com is getting my business, especially for big ticket items. When I was ready to buy a TV last year, not only was the price lower than Best Buy and Costco, there’s no sales tax and shipping is free.

Oh, and diapers.com. Shipping is ridiculously fast (as in 2 days to my door, consistently).

Have bought some tools, household garden stuff that was lifetime warranted at Sears and exchanged a broken part without any questions, receipts or anything. Plan to do that again for a hose that had a broken washer as well later.

Don’t shop for much else there.

How is their holiday photo stuff?

Ok, that was hilarious. Well done.

[quote=DriveByLurker]Is KMmart even pretending to be a retail business anymore, or have they come clean and admitted that they were always just a front for an experiment to measure the long term effects of bad fluorescent lighting on cheap Chinese thermoplastics?[/quote]
