Bemis Appliance & Television

Bemis has been around as long as I can remember. I had never used them personally, but several family members had. I came in looking for a new range. I’d done my research and had it narrowed down to 3 possible option. Rick was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer my dorky technical questions. When narrowed down to a Samsung and a GE, they highly recommended the GE. After talking with several people there over a few days, it sounds like GE is their most recommended brand. For GE items, they are a factory direct supplier. This means that they don’t stock the ranges, but they put in orders every Monday, receive them on Wednesday, and deliver them Wednesday/​Thursday. For me, I put in an order on a Wednesday and received the deliver a week later.
On delivery day, Bemis called and said they would give us a 15 – 20 minute notice that the delivery guys were en route. They hauled our broken range away and disposed of it. The delivery guys did smell like an ash tray walked into your house, but they did a good job. They’re not overly talkative, but they’re cordial and willing to answer any questions that you have — but I can respect some guys who are there to get their business done and move on!
One of the big upsides to using Bemis is that they do their own repair. If you have a major issue, they’ve got knowledgeable staff that is available to fix your issue. If it’s within the warranty period, they’ll take care of everything for you. If not, you’ll have to pay — but it looks like prices are in line with local competitors.
Sale prices are a tad more than the big box home stores ($ 25 on a $ 775 range) and they charge a small delivery cost ($ 25-​$ 50), but I’m willing to pay a tad more to support local business! Check out Bemis, you won’t be let down!

A local institution in Yakima for years. Wife and I built a new place and wanted to equip it with the proper appliances. Rick at Bemis did a great job in not overselling and digging into what it is we wanted/​needed. No wasted time — just good solid work.
Compare the pricing to the big box stores. It’s right in line. The others can’t touch the service. Nowhere close to what Bemis did over the entire experience.

Excellent Service!
My husband and I wanted to surprise his mom with new appliances while she was away on a weekend trip. We had shopped locally at a few places in Seattle to get our feet wet for what was out there. Pretty overwhelming.
Before our visit I had looked up appliance stores local to Selah and came across Bemis in Yakima. I thought, why not? It can’t be any worse than a Sears or Lowes experience.
We walked in to the minimally decorated, clean store and started to walk around — we began at the refrigerators. Immediately we were approaced by a salesman — Rick. I’m always leery of sales people… I know they’re just doing their job, but I usually feel so invaded by their presense. Right away this guy made it apparent he knew his stuff and wasn’t just blowing smoke up our butts to make a sale.
So we spent maybe 45 minutes walking around discussing fridges, ovens, and dishwashers. We were sold. The only caveat was that we needed the items in-​house already and delivered that day. Tall order, I know. But Rick was able to pull through. He personally delivered our appliances AND took away the old ones THAT AFTERNOON. Amazing.
My MIL was absolutely stunned when she got home, thanks to Bemis’s and Rick’s help. Give this small local place your business. They’re the best!
