If You Give Sears Your Phone Number, They Might Harass You Like A Clingy Stalker
By Laura Northrup on February 9, 2012 9:30 AM  

Sears, Sears. We know that you're desperate. But acting clingy and desperate is no way to win over customers, especially the ones who have just made a purchase in your store. While it seems like every retailer is pushing their service plans on customers, they don't usually resort to phone stalking, like what you did to your poor customer Mike. He had to resort to contacting the FTC and your corporate offices about the stalking.  

It's over, Sears. You should have taken the hint one of the first few dozen times you called. Now Mike really never wants anything to do with you again.   More »

By Chris Morran on January 27, 2012 1:30 PM  
Being the CEO of a multibillion-dollar global corporation is tough work. Or at least it had better be, considering the amount of money some of these folks were paid just to quit. More »

    Home Depot Forgot They Promised To Hang Onto My Rug Until I Decided If I'd Exchange It Or Not, Refuses Refund
    By Mary Beth Quirk on January 6, 2012 2:00 PM  
    Marc knew for a fact that he didn't want to keep the rug he and his wife bought from Home Depot, so he was pleased when an employee was helpful enough to suggest they wait on a refund in case a new shipment had any rugs they'd like. He even offered to hang onto the rug, instead of lugging it back and forth. Unfortunately, the employee's memory wasn't so good. More »

    E-Mail To Home Depot CEO Resolves Month-Old Problem In 12 Hours
    By Chris Morran on December 16, 2011 3:15 PM  
    Consumerist reader Jim was feeling a little frustrated with Home Depot. He'd ordered some parts online for his chainsaw, only to find that one of the two boxes was completely empty. This was just the beginning of a month of misleading assurances, conflicting instructions and overall dissatisfaction for Jim. That is, until he penned an e-mail to Home Depot's CEO. More »

    Knife Printed With 'USA Quality Guarantee' Is, Of Course, Made In China
    By Laura Northrup on December 14, 2011 1:30 PM  

    Think quickly: if you saw the "USA Quality Guarantee" seal on a product you found in a store, where would you assume that it had been manufactured? If you guessed "China," you're an awfully cynical person. You are, however, correct. 

    Reader Stuart, who writes a blog about tools, noticed this little badge of dishonor on a knife for sale at Home Depot. If it's not meant to make customers think that the knife was made in the USA, then are the words just for decoration?  More »

    Home Depot Staff Makes 8-Hour Trip To Find Me A Snow Blower
    By Chris Morran on December 2, 2011 2:15 PM  
    Consumerist reader Matt and his wife recently went to Home Depot to try to purchase a snow blower for the coming winter. But that Halloween weekend snow storm apparently caused an early run on the machines and no one could give them a clear answer on exactly when they would be back in stock. More »

    Office Depot Decides Not To Ship My Order, Then Ups The Price
    By Mary Beth Quirk on November 30, 2011 3:00 PM  
    Robert found an amazing sale on paper at Office Depot, so like anyone confronted with big savings would do, he went ahead and ordered away, and patiently awaited the arrival of his merchandise. Of course, sometimes when deals seem too good to be true, they probably are. More »

    If ASUS Installs Your Hard Drive Backwards, Your Computer Can't Overheat
    By Laura Northrup on November 30, 2011 8:00 AM  
    Perhaps it was naive of reader A. to think that sending his overheating computer back to ASUS would end with him receiving a functional computer back. He did expect them to at least put the hard drive back facing in the right direction, though. Or maybe that was the outsourced repair depot's idea of a fix for his problem. A computer that can't boot can't overheat. More »

    Why Is Waffle House Such A News Magnet?
    By Mary Beth Quirk on November 28, 2011 2:00 PM  
    When something big goes down in the news, and it happens at a diner, it's not unlikely that Waffle House is somehow involved. From acting as a sign of the effects of natural disaster to a string of robberies, Waffle House gets in on the headline action quite often. More »
