I've had horrible experiences with Sears. Especially when it comes to warranty, refunds, cancelations, etc. I've had to file chargeback claim on them via Paypal & through my credit card company in order to get my money back after they refused to provide a refund for unopened merchandise (that included a receipt). I think LONG and HARD before buying ANYTHING from sears.com these days. They are a logistical nightmare to deal with when it comes to online purchasing.
The retail landscape has changed...the people at the top of Sears are dinosaurs that desperately need to adjust to modern online commerce. You build trust and loyalty with your customers by offering fantastic customer service. Constructing a building as big as an entire block, and strong arming customers/competing businesses, is not how it's done anymore. I won't be surprised when Sears is the next company that goes under.

I would at least go in there tomorrow and try to haggle with them, maybe get them to give you a different model of a 50" tv. I wouldn't have your hopes up, but I'd at least try something. Sorry for that experience.
BF is craziness, really. From now on, do BF online from the comfort of your computer. You may not get that exact tv (that and the walmart vizio were probably the two hottest BF items) that you want, but on slickdeals, you can always find something close to it...

Thanks for everyone's advice and criticism (yes really) apparently this happened to a lot of people at Sears. I did get to spend some time with my family in line, but I thought for some reason they would be a little more organized than Best Buy (went there last year with my dad and had fun). I think this will be the last time I go to an actual store in November. On the plus side I got the PS Display, 32" 1080p TV, a couple SSD's, 5 TB in HDD, 2 graphics cards, and some random stuff online. (not a bad pre-black friday with the sears exception of course)

Well don't worry. Its an experience. My friend also waited almost 6 hours outside SEARS to get the 50 inch Toshiba. He was 12th in line. These guys handed tickets it seems but there were only 4 of them. I had warned him that this would happen. But he tried his luck. He came home and ordered the 47 inch LG LED TV from Frys and will pick it in store tomm. I have done all my BF shopping this time online..I ransacked the PS3 game deals last night on BB and got some cool stuff today from the Fry's sale which I shall pick up online tomorrow. I was trying out a a new dish (Orange Chicken) while my friend was in that line all afternoon.
![]() I am sorry to hear your experience but dont worry, as some folks said watch out and you will get a good deal soon. Good luck. I upvoted the thread :p Last edited by calvin_nr; 11-22-2012 at 09:03 PM.. |

The news story really is your best bet, but without video to show, you'll have to tell a compelling story.
We called Sears in advance and was told by someone at the national level that they had very few per store and that they would not be handing out tickets. I skipped it and just worked Amazon. Funny enough, Target had door buster tv's for over an hour after the door opened. No tickets and very smooth. They didnt have much to offer but I showed up just to see how crazy things got. It was a lot of people but impressively run. Being Dyslexic is the ULTIMATE Slick Deal! If you read a book twice, you get two different stories!

Also had a horrible experience at Sears today. Got there at like 2:30pm today and was like 10th in line. Families and friends kept getting into the line with whoever was there already. They only had 6 32" and 8" 50". All gone by time the clueless manager came to the person in front of us. She literally gave a ticket to a person who just approached here lol. Didn't even do the 1 per household when you can definitely tell they are family. *Sighs
Will never be shopping at Sears again. |
