    Oh my gosh, no! I never heard about that, thats horrible!

    I just hated the 2 ads that you cannot skip past but I LOVED how adorable her hubby was that Sears has made his wife cry!! What a man! ( sniff, sniff )

    I had sofas delivered from Sears Home a few months ago. They were WHITE sofas and the delivery guys had dirty hands. They didn't bother to wash their hands. Instead they put their dirty hands all over my sofas and then said "yeah just use some baby wipes". I don't have a baby or baby wipes. I hate getting things delivered because the delivery guys are always in a hurry and really don't give a damn. The delivery guys don't work for Sears, they work for a company contracted by Sears. I did have a rip in one of my chairs and Sears swiftly replaced it though, so I guess there is good and bad about the company.

    It is Sears responsibility to make sure that their delivery people, even if they are outsourced, are going to do a good job.

    You wouldn't want a bunch of ex-cons in your house looking at your stuff deciding if they should come back and steal from you!

    People who would put their dirty hands on your stuff are criminals or will be soon.

    I noticed Yelp.ca has more reviews about Sears.

    Check out the Sears in your neighborhood.

    agreed, Sears has changed along the years... hearing their ''call services'' are outside Canada doesn't surprise me, they often have a big foreign accent

    Sears is either positioning themselves for a takeover by getting rid of their customers and providing a fire sale price for the company or the company is being run by a bunch of crack heads or they are a bunch of racists who don't like customers with ethnic names.

    The man who has the most leverage is the shareholder with 51% of stock. If he doesn't like what the board of directors is doing, he can ask for changes. Directors>tell management what to do>staff have to implement changes. Number rule 1 for business is to make a profit. That would explain why the sell-off of key major mall leases went like wildfire despite the fact the stores are leaving important markets-guess the stores were past their expiry dates and money is money.
    Calvin, the previous CEO-usually is a board member in a corporation too, was making some overdue freshening changes to mall stores and got that Look Report out into mailboxes and papers--he must have left because he was not given enough time/resources to complete what was started last year. So he left for another job with another store chain.

    Every time I get anything delivered, I always worry about who the delivery guys are. I mean, what can you do about it though? You have to let them in the house right? I don't like when companies outsource their delivery services. I wonder what kind of standards they use when hiring these guys. I mean I have had super skinny men show up to drop off a bed set and barely make it up the stairs ! It's insane. I have only had one delivery guy who was extra careful. Anyone can be a criminal though...

    Their sales are declining and they are closing a number of their stores slowly.

    I guess the only thing you can really do is make sure someone is home with you at the time of delivery.

    I think if the delivery people knew they couldn't get away with it, they would stop.

    Sears should know, this isn't how you run a company. If they cared about being in business they would of implemented something by now. Sears has been around for decades they obviously don't care about their own company. Why should anyone else.

    I actually saw a Sears Home Services truck with two people in my area last week. I'm assuming they had an appliance service call or home repair. Thought those trucks were extinct.

    If Sears could get ordered furniture dropped off at their closest Home store for customers to load from a shipping dock (that assumes you have a truck and some strong arms available to do the climbing/loading/strapping), then that avoids the presence of delivery persons whose status you are not sure of.

    If catalogue order staff can ask me to go with my vehicle (did not have one) to the shipping dock to get a toaster oven, surely that applies to catalogue furniture orders?

    I used to buy everything clothing and appliances at Sears but now, the service is almost non existent and their shipping charges to the store suck.
