Sears Roebuck

I normally like sears but the Sears on Fordhan needs a lot of work when it comes to there staff and getting help when you are in the store. I went in the other day to buy a case for my ipad I waited for service but it never came. So I had to walk around the store a look for a sale rep. When I found them they where having a nice conversation and they made me feel like I was breaking up a board meeting. I tried to be nice because I wanted my case but I feel like if I have to look for help when you are being paid to help the customers is not cool. Very disappointed

OK, let’s talk about some things that make Sears look less like Mother Teresa and more like the greedy corporation they are.
Let me first say that this is not about any specific Sears store but Sears unfair cortporate pricing policies.
I have a sears refrigerator (Kenmore) for a few years now. The water filters cost me about $ 35 until a year ago when the price increased to $ 38. Also, if you buy 2 or more, Sears’ excessive handling charge of about $ 9 is charged on each unit. So effectively the filter costs about $ 46 each sales tax.
I looked up the site of the «Pur» company which made the filters for Sears and found the same ones in Amazon for $ 30 each with no handling charge. So I saved $ 17 per filter.
Then there was my research to have my kitchen cabinet doors replaced. A very small kitchen. By the time the salesman got finished with the plans to build out the cabinets, replacing all of the counter tops and back splashes, the total was about $ 15,000. Christ, it only cost me $ 10,000 to have the kitchen gutted and rebuilt, including stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. Needless to say, I just polished up the cabinet doors and, since the counters and backsplashes are still in mint condition, bought some polish/​sealant to restore the luster and saved $ 15,000.
Sears, smarten up! This is a recession for god’s sake!

I beg to differ. Yes, it’s a mess. Yes, you have to dig. But I effin dig this place. To me, Sears is a secret charm of the Bronx. The place is packed with racks of clothes, most of which are perfectly in line with Fordham Road fashion. It is not an attractive store, but hello it’s just a Sears in the first place.
In New Jersey, I won’t go near the place. I took a chance one day though and drifted across Fordham Rd in search of anything that was not in my closet. Store credit in hand (Sears, department store that it is, sells jewelry and it is not necessarily cheap – so return that yellow gold necklace your great uncle bought that isn’t quite your taste and buy some stuff) I browsed the nearly-​claustrophobic aisles, if they can even be called aisles.
Really it isn’t insanely hard to find something fun. Though there’s a ton of stuff I wouldn’t touch, I’ve bought a couple nice tops and some tanks in the few times I’ve gone. There is nothing wrong with them either. Sears does not, we discovered to our dismay when we had unexpected snow, sell gloves and hats or good boots. But what do you want from a Sears in the Bronx?
Swanky people, stay away. This is not for you, but you would never consider entering in the first place. Leave me to love my cheap department store.

This has to be the dirtiest, most disorganized Sears store I’ve ever been in. You may be able to find something for cheap, but you really have to look. And inspect your purchase thoroughly before buying, because there’s probably something wrong with it.
