30 days after purchase. Easiest to just chat online. Price difference is based on the price of the item when you bought it before you used any coupons / points) and the price of the item as it is on the website when you are chatting. It's been pretty quick & painless in my experience.



How difficult is it to get price adjustments after a purchase and how many days after purchase do you have?

Also if I bought during friends and family will they adjust the price difference before the 10% off or just compared to the price after the 10% friends and family?

EDIT: NVM found my answer. 30 days. Just talked with them and got $16 +tax refunded on my C3 Impact Wrench.

Thank you for posting this. Unfortunately I got side tracked after adding one to my cart. I had planned to order 6 of them. Eventually the item said no longer available but it let me place and order for the one in my cart still. I assume it will most likely get cancelled. Anyone had any experience with something similar?

I just went to my cart, to buy something else.

I noticed I still had one of the lockers in my cart that I put in and never went through with it last week. It looks like it will let me go all the way through and order one. It doesn't show the $50 back in points, but it still shows the $109 price tag.

What happened with yours? Did your order get canceled, or did you get any kind of shipment notification? Not sure if I should try and order this.

Any idea if Sears will bring back free shipping for $25+ ? I thought I got everything that I need but have found a few more tools that I can only get if shipped directly to me.

Right now it's been $35+... Maybe some big sale they might lower it again, like 4th of July?

I wouldn't expect it to go back down any time soon, maybe not until next Thanksgiving-Christmas season (which was around when it went down to $25 originally, last fall), if ever. They're trying to save money on shipping costs.

One thing you could try that might help if you still have a local store: an online order for store pickup items and ship-to-home items in the same cart all counts towards the free ship-to-home $35 total.

I haven't seen anyone talk about these lately, but I had some points I needed to spend a couple months ago and I got this Craftsman 3-Pc. Internal/External Convertible Retaining Ring Pliers set.

I've only been watching it for the past couple months, and it's only gone on sale down to $63 in the short amount of time I've been watching it during the F&F sales (which it is now at again). But I did a bit of research and figured out that they seem to be the exact same set as this Channellock set which has never gone lower than $80 on Amazon, and costs anywhere from $83-$115 at other retailers, so even $63 seems to be a pretty good deal.

Once I knew what to look for, I did find one other post in this thread from last year where someone indicated that both of these are made by Wilde Tool.

Anyway, they're pretty nice, especially if you have FREECASH points to spend, so I thought I'd throw that out there.

EDIT: Also, to avoid getting anyone's hopes up, they do currently show up as "Shipping Unavailable", but they're still available for pickup at my store at least.

Good to know, thanks. They are completely unavailable within 100 miles of me, so anyone who wants them and still has them in a local store, might want to jump on them pretty soon.

I was supposed to be refunded $17 in points and instead it is showing $27 in points. Guess I better spend them before they realize their mistakes.

Funny.
Had a problem with an order so they canceled it.
Lost about $17 in points
Get on chat and they say they will restore them.
Look later and they restored them plus an extra $10.

Just received an e-mail saying that mine was canceled.

These two, which are being sold separately looks similar than the big 3 set. Still available for me, but the big set of 3 is not. Also the picture shows made in USA.

I have to admit they look nice, even look nicer than my Knipex. I just like shiny stuffs :lol_hitti

The total number of Sears/Kmart stores in now-Seritage-owned buildings known to be scheduled for a April 27-mid-July liquidation has now reached two dozen, after a lot of reporters' research to get that put together since there has still been no official list release. (This is the same closing stores list that had 9 stores on it when I first posted about it on Mon 4/16.)

https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/te...g-more-stores-and-selling-others-12825378.php

Sears
  1. Park Mall, 5950 E Broadway Blvd. Tucson, Arizona
  2. Sunrise Mall, 5900 Sunrise Blvd., Citrus Heights, California
  3. Westfield Galleria at Roseville, 1191 Galleria Blvd., Roseville, California
  4. Solano Town Center, 1420 Travis Blvd., Fairfield, California
  5. Parkway Plaza, 575 Fletcher Parkway, El Cajon, California
  6. University Mall, 7171 N Davis Hwy, Pensacola, Florida
  7. Countryside Mall, 27001 Us 19 N, Clearwater, Florida
  8. Oaks Mall, 6201 W Newberry Rd, Gainesville, Florida
  9. Broward Mall, 8000 W Broward Blvd, Plantation, Florida
  10. Marketplace at Six Corners, 4730 W Irving Park Road, Chicago, Illinois
  11. Lindale Mall, 4600 First Ave. NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
  12. Columbia Mall, 2201 W Worley St, Columbia, Missouri
  13. Maplewood Mall, 3001 White Bear AVE N, Maplewood, Minnesota
  14. Meadowood Mall, 5400 Meadowood Mall Circle, Reno, Nevada
  15. Greece Ridge Center, 317 Greece Ridge Center Dr, Rochester, New York

  21. Warrenton Village Center, 141 W Lee Hwy, Warrenton, Virginia
  22. Overlake Fashion Plaza, 2200 148th Ave NE, Redmond, Washington

Kmart

  1. 1602 W Brandon Blvd., Brandon, Florida
  2. 180 Main St., Saugus, Massachusetts

If you live near any of the stores on the April 27-mid-July liquidation schedule, someone on SD reported today that at least one of those locations (Reno), and I'm guessing all of them, currently has any item under $5 free, $5 off any item $5.01-$100, and 5% off any item $100.01+. There's not a whole lot of things under $5 regular price at Sears, so they will probably go quickly.

Update: A later respondent on SD claimed that either the original poster was mistaken/misleading or the management at that store was doing something nonstandard - that's apparently supposed to be the policy at any non-liquidating store when prices are incorrectly marked, though I've never seen them do anything more than give me the lower of marked or system price.

Just got an email about 2hrs ago saying they cancelled my order cause they are out of stock. Wonder if anyone else's order got cancelled.

Either a price error or they realized giving free shipping on an item that size was going to lose them a ton of money. That is my guess what happened.

So those with the C3 1/2in impact wrench how many lug nuts can you take off with it before the battery dies. Trying to figure out what I am using my points on. If they don't last long I will pick up a second battery.

This set is quite nice if you can still get your hands on it. Back in the day i got it for $35. I believe they are actually made by Lang Tools and are sold under many different brands: Lang 1465, Channellock RT-3, Craftsman 47394, Matco SPRC3A, Wright 9H1265K, Snap-on PRH503

If you're working in a tire shop, I could see investing in an extra battery... or if you have points about to expire... but I've used it on 4 - 5 cars throughout a day and haven't had an issue. In fact, when I put it on the charger afterwards, it wasn't long before it said it was full.

That is what I was looking to hear. Thanks.

My points are not expiring. With the family and friends and my points I could get another battery for $45. Could also use on other tools though or wait for another sale.

Multiple reports on SD of people receiving bounceback offers from in-store purchases at Sears this Monday, reportedly continuing all week. I'll be buying something in-store tomorrow, hopefully I'll get one. Remember to always select the "print + email" receipt option.

"went to Sears today purchased a $8.99 shirt and paid in points including the $5/5 freecash exp 5/8. Received a $12/12 freecash instore or online. cashiers said they'er giving out freecash this week."

"got an $8 on $8 today at sears, valid 6/1 to 6/30"

"bought an overpriced can of WD-40 for $5.99 at Sears today, paid with the $5/$5 freecash and $0.99 regular points, and got a $6/$6 for 6/1 - 6/30."

I notice today I have $3 of $15 on my Sears account. Not sure if that is because I bought a clamp online on Sunday. Not as good as the bounceback offers from in-store purchase but I will take this!

$3 FREECASH in Points on $15 on Tools
Includes Tools sold Plumbing, Paint, Electrical, and Tools Departments, and Clearance. Choose from Popular Brands Such as Craftsman, Dewalt, Black & Decker, Bosch and More! Valid In-Store and Online.

Expires on May 20, 2018

Not bad. :) I don't have that offer myself, but someone else posted in the SYW thread about receiving it a few days ago. Right now I only have 3 offers in my account, all of which expire today, only 1 of which is usable for me.

Reminder that today is the last day for the online F&F 10% sale, BTW.

I think the question to the GJ group should be... Did anyone get their order filled?



I did a chat with one of their CS reps. which turned out to be a further waste of my time, beyond the initial order...

I had even split my order three times thinking positively that they may only cancel one or two of them OR that one may come through undamaged....

This REALLY was the last time I will TRY to order anything from Sears! :)


The prices must have been eliminated to "protect the innocent" but we all know the "regular price" was $399.99 and the offered "sale price" was $109.99 for the cabinet. The cabinet she offered me was the 48" version with the same "regular price" and 25% off and she was willing to offer "For the trouble caused let me honor you 5% discount ".

Look at their timestamps. Some of the answers must be stock answers as they can not possibly type that many words so quickly AFTER "checked with my supervisor"....




Rhys (22:07:31 GMT) : Hi! Nice to have you on this chat! How can I assist you today?

Visitor (22:08:07 GMT) : Hey Rhys!

Visitor (22:19:45 GMT) : That is not available and you offer .05%?

Rhys (22:19:50 GMT) : I understand your point.Â

Visitor (22:19:58 GMT) : :)

Visitor (22:20:57 GMT) : Will you honor the 73% discount from your listed price on another cabinet made by New Age?

Rhys (22:21:00 GMT) : The item was in huge sale so you have received item for $***.99. But unfortunately the order was cancelled since the item went out of stock.Â

Rhys (22:21:15 GMT) : But the item is out of stock .Â

Visitor (22:21:39 GMT) : You have others listed online, just not that one.

Rhys (22:23:19 GMT) : Before informed the item was huge sale hence you have received the offer of $***.99.

Rhys (22:23:28 GMT) : Let me explain that for you.

Rhys (22:25:01 GMT) : http://www.sears.com/newage-products-performance-2.0-diamond-plate-48inch/p-3ZZVA97424012P?rrec=true

Rhys (22:25:05 GMT) : For the above item.

Visitor (22:26:44 GMT) : That is the same "Regular Price" as the cabinets I had ordered. Will you sell them for the $***.99 that I paid for the units that were cancelled?

Visitor (22:27:07 GMT) : If so, we can stay friends. :)

Rhys (22:27:32 GMT) : I have checked with my supervisor and I am really sorry we will be not able to honor you the same price for that item.Â

Visitor (22:28:09 GMT) : Guess that settles that, we aren't friends any longer. :(

Rhys (22:29:14 GMT) : I am really, I have tried my best.Â

Visitor (22:31:56 GMT) : Sooo.... What you are telling me is... The next time you folks have something on sale that I would like to purchase. I will need to go to a competitor and have them price match your offer, that Sears can not be trusted to fulfill their obligations. Is that correct?

Visitor (22:33:23 GMT) : Home Depot offered the same product that you had on sale. Theirs was 25% off but they would have offered and additional 10% to "meet and beat" your price AND they would have delivered it as promised.

Rhys (22:34:16 GMT) : I am really sorry, I have checked with my supervisor and we will be able honor you 5% discount,Â

Visitor (22:34:34 GMT) : Have a great evening Rhys. I am out.....

Mine was also cancelled. I did spend some of the points back and my balance did not go negative for the full portion spent.

Many Craftsman auto tools with 50% off and ship-to-store option:

Craftsman Mechanics & Auto Tools

This one is 70% off:

Craftsman Hose Pinch Pliers $4.72
prod_1838569012



These might be the only ones made in USA:

Craftsman Double Pointed Scriber $2.42
spin_prod_1134714512


Craftsman Spark Plug Pliers $5.42
spin_prod_1165838012
Did anyone receive these. I placed the order Feb. 11 and was given the May 3rd date for arrival. I received the scribe early in April. I haven't received the hose clamp or plug wire puller. Sears says they are checking on it. Anyone receive theirs?

Home Depot offered the same product that you had on sale. Theirs was 25% off but they would have offered and additional 10% to "meet and beat" your price AND they would have delivered it as promised.

FWIW, HD likely would have refused to PM. I've tried the online PM with HD before, and they were very reluctant to do it - first said Lowes was not a competitor, then they only PM items in-stock, and on and on.

I also ordered the Spark Plug Pliers for in-store pickup the same time you did. They were a good deal and made by Lang in the USA. I was charged for them but never received them. They are still showing on line but say none are available within 100 miles from me and my set hasn't been sent to my store for my order pickup.

I have found it is such a waste of time to chat with their customer service and often I end up with their chat causing new problems to my account, so I haven't called them about this.

Sorry to hear that. When are the pliers supposed to be ready for pick-up?

I do not order spark plug pliers, but fwiw, I have ordered many items that has pick-up date 2-3 months in the future. I never have problems. I do notice that starting maybe two or three months ago, Sears are about one week behind the schedule. So if my item is scheduled to pick up 5/8, usually by 5/15 it is ready. The local store knows me well, they do not even bother calling me that my items are ready (they used to do this). I have told them that my wife, who has weekly meeting nearby, will stop by once a week, and just pick up whatever that are available.

99% of time, I do not need what I ordered immediately, so I do not care if it is late a week for pick-up. Understand that is not the case for everyone.

Did anyone receive these. I placed the order Feb. 11 and was given the May 3rd date for arrival. I received the scribe early in April. I haven't received the hose clamp or plug wire puller. Sears says they are checking on it. Anyone receive theirs?
I am still waiting, someone in the shop your way thread did recently get theirs. I have found it is fifty/fifty on these long wait items.

My spark plugs wire pliers were for pickup beginning of March and they never came in. Bought them with $ from a gift debit card that is long ago used up and discarded, so if Sears eventually cancels my order, the refund will go into outer space.

I don't want to quote the whole chat transcript, but I was on a chat last week and asked the guy if he'd ever been inside a Sears store since what he was telling me (that they had good inventory control and I could trust the website as accurate for store stock) made no sense. He had not ever been to a Sears store. I presume he was off shore somewhere. I explained to him that the Sears stores I've been to in the past several years are pretty empty and not well run.

LOL, yeah they definitely use call centers in India for their CS...

You can always have them refund it to points if you chat online.

My sparkplug pliers never came. I had a much earlier estimated date too. My estimate was in March. Support was pretty useless. They told me I had to go to the store to resolve the issue since I had the item shipped to store.

I bought a C3 Jig Saw like a month ago, the ETA was May 3rd I think... Then May 10th... Now on their website if you order it says May 17th, and I bet when the 10th rolls around I'll get an email saying my date has been pushed back...

If you are a C3 fan, the current price for the jig saw is about as low as I've seen it...

After points and such I only paid $15 so I'll wait... :)

I am still waiting on my hose pinch pliers and scriber too. They were ordered the same time, prices were the same as you had posted above.

For reference - I ordered the hose pinch pliers on March 16, and they arrived March 28.

Sorry about the fail with the New Age locker, fellas! :(

I've had success with Sears price mistakes throughout the years, but they were usually for items that came directly from Sears. I guess their authorized suppliers are a bit smarter.
