A Few Other Things You Should Know<\/strong><\/p>\n

After all this shopping and saving, if in the unfortunate event you are unhappy with your recent Sears purchase there are a few things you should know:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Call Customer Service:<\/strong> The first place to start addressing your concerns is directly with Sears Customer Service. You can either head into a store to speak with an associate at the customer service desk or contact<\/a> customer service via phone<\/a>, email<\/a>, or online chat<\/a>. Sears also offers a cool feature called \u201cClick to Call\u201d. Instead of waiting on hold for a customer service agent, input your phone number and they\u2019ll call you back!<\/li>\n
  2. Sears Return Policy:<\/strong> Sears has a satisfaction guaranteed or your money back return policy<\/a>. Bring back any item along with your receipt within 90 days for a full refund (Some exceptions may apply on certain products). For online orders at\u00a0sears.com, they can be returned to the store with the original packaging and packing slip. Please review the return policy<\/a> for exclusions.<\/li>\n
  3. Reaching Out to the Better Business Bureau (BBB): <\/strong>As one of the leading national retailers, Sears works extremely hard to provide their customers with the best shopping experience and customer support. Sears Holdings Corporation (Headquarters) has been a BBB Accredited Business since 1926 with an A- rating. In the unlikely event you would like to submit a complaint to the BBB seeking their mediation, you can visit their BBB Business Review<\/a> page and click File a Complaint.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
