P.C. Richard & Son Inc.

Review: I purchased all of my kitchen appliances, refrigerator,microwave,stove an a dishwasher through PC Ricard and Son at a cost of over $4,000.00.I purchased an extended service warranty for all items. All items were purchase in Sep 2011. To date the dishwasher has broken down 3 times and here in lies my problem. Because its the same problem each time, I feel that at this stage the dishwasher should be replaced. The customer service is poor after asking for a supervisor several times to call me back, nobody returned my call and I had to call and ask for a supervisor.

The options given to me were to get the item repaired again,that is unacceptable to me as its the same issue the pump. Or to have the items exchanged----by doing so PC Richards are offering a credit for the original cost of the dishwasher and I have to go to the store and purchase a new one and THEN have the item installed Which I have to pay for . By taking the credit my warranty is voided.

As such a big company with a supposedly great reputation the options are not acceptable.

repeatDesired Settlement: I would like PC Richards to replace the obviously defective dishwasher, and install at no cost to me in addition to honor the remaining time on the warranty.

Response:

Once a customer is given full credit of what they paid us for the product to exchange or reselect, we never charge for a pick up of the old or delivery charge on the new. We also will uninstall the old and reinstall the new at no charge to the customer. However, the contract is always satisfied by the exchange. The only reason the exchange is being done in the first place is because the product has had excessive service and is either unrepairable or uneconomical to repair. Our service contract does specifically state that the contract will be satisfied by the exchange.

Business

Response:

There is no reason for [redacted] to have to call this customer back. All the paperwork is in place and all the customer has to do is to contact the store where the original purchase was made and they will do the necessary paperwork to get the exchange done. As stated before, we will not charge for pick up, delivery or installation of the new product but the old contract will be satisfied by the exchange and if the customer chooses a more expensive product they will have to pay the difference in cost. That is not negotiable as per the terms of our service contract. If the customer still wishes to contact [redacted], they can do so at [redacted] to discuss any issues with this exchange.

Consumer

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.

As discussed with Supervisor [redacted] today, I can go to any store and pick out my new dishwasher. As with any new appliance the manufactors warranty will apply which is 1 yr.

I purchased a refrigorator over the phone with PC Richard and son. I picked up the item at the store and brought it back home in my own vehicle, when I got home the wrong refrigorator was in the box (it was not even the same brand as the box said). The refrigorator on the box was an Emmerson and was evidently used (scratches and no manufacturer taping).The following day I returned to PC Richard and son with the refrigorator in my car and they told me there was ABSOLUTELY nothing they could do but check the security cameras (I do not understand this since the box was in perfect condition when I picked it up). The company is now claiming to search all rooms in the building I live in for an emmerson refrigorator; mind you the emmerson refrigorator that I recieved is back at the pc richard and son store. I have since gone to home depot to purchase the correct refrigorator.

The help that this company has provided me with is unacceptable, not to mention that I have lost $200 due to their company's negligence. They have done nothing about the refrigorator accept offering me a different one that they have in store for an additional $50 of what I already paid.

Review: The stove that I purchased on 08/**/2012 has not worked properly, the repair personnel has been to my home serveral times fixiing the same problem. I stated that I would like to have a new stove not this broken down one, but they have refursed to give me one. I think that they think that they are going to keep coming into my home. I do not like this they might be staking out my home to rob it. I do not like this, it is a little upsetting.Desired Settlement: I want a working stove, I paid for a working stove.

Business

Response:

Customer is scheduled for service on 7/**/13 with our own techs. If we do not resolve the problem at that time we will give customer credit to exchange or reselect.

We have had nothing but problems with a laptop computer purchased from PC Richard in [redacted] about 4 months ago. We have spent HOURS on the phone with their help desk and was just directed to return the computer for service. 10 days later, computer was returned without the hard drive replaced and most of the software deleted.

Frustrated, we returned to PC Richard for a refund. After talking to 2 managers, we were refused a refund. We were told that the computer had a virus which is not at all what their tech support said during our various calls to fix the problem

We have spent over $3,000 with this store in the last few months on various electronics and will NEVER go back.

Review: On [redacted] November [redacted] my* year old daughters mother went to PC Richard & son to replaced our daughters [redacted] nook that we purchased on July**, 2013 with an added 2 year warranty plan. Her mother was told that they could not replace it because the box was missing. Our * year old daughter is now out of a tablet, and we are out of $185.08. We have been good customers of PC Richard and Son and we are very disappointed with them. It is ridiculous that they refused to replaced my daughters tablet, especially that that it was the 2nd nook that we have purchased from them and we paid additionally for the warranty. Not only did they told her that they are not going to replace it the manager also said that they no longer carry the product. It is also ironic that early that day we purchased a computer from them. My daughter needs her tablet as it is a tool used for her educational needs.Desired Settlement: we are requesting a replacement or full refund of $185.08.

Business

Response:

As per the terms of our replacement warranty, the product must be returned with the original box and packing so that we can return it to the manufacturer and receive credit for it. This customer should speak with the store manager to see if he is willing to make an exception in this particular case or if we still stock the same exact model so that he can use the box and packing from the new model to do the exchange.

Consumer

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

[ The store manager refused to accept the item back and told me thatthey no longer carry the product. I also checked with [redacted] and theytold me that they do not need the box back. I am very surprised and disappointedthat a business like PC Richards & Sons refuses to live up to the standardsthat the claim to have. We have always purchased from PC Richards & Sonscustomers for years, washing machine, televisions, computers and tablets. As amatter of fact I just purchased a laptop this pass week. I work in customer service handling warranty forthe past 11 years and I am shocked to learn that PC Richards & Sons wouldnot accept an item back because the box is missing. This product is still under warranty, and Iam very disappointed as this item was used to aid my * year old daughter withher educational needs.]

Response:

The bottom line is that [redacted] is in fact honoring the terms of our extended warranty which states that the customer must return the product in the original box and packing in order to receive a replacement. He even e mailed this customer as well as the Revdex.com a copy of their original invoice which clearly states that.

Review: I have purchased several appliances from PC Richards last year after my home was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. I purchased Jenn Air Stove, Jenn Air Dishwasher, LG 3-Door Refrigerator...which was already replaced 3 months later with a Samsung 3-door Refrigerator...Since my purchased I have had every appliance serviced by PC Richards several times. The Stove has been serviced at least 6 times since my purchase...today the LD screen in saying there is an error and this product can no longer be used. The Samsung Refrigerator has been serviced at least 4 times and in currently waiting on it 2nd ice maker...I truly believe the PC Richards is selling defective or refurbished products and passing them off as band new. Please help me with this matter.Desired Settlement: I truly want a refund of all the money I spent. These were very expensive merchandise that I purchased and don't understand how there can be these many problems in such a short time.

Business

Response:

Customer should call us at ###-###-#### and have the telephone representative schedule them to have the parts that we have received installed into their refrigerator. If that does not resolve the issue then we will give the customer credit to reselect a new refrigerator. We do not manufacture these products nor do we sell refurbished products. All our products are shipped to us new from each manufacturer. A refund is not an option.

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

This is great that they are willing to replace the refrigerator, but my complaint is with the $4600.00 Jenn Air stove that has been serviced numerous times in the one year that I own it.

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

Ha Ha Ha, I did have a third party service person come and he did tell PC Richards the stove should be replaced, and their response was we will rewire the entire stove. Imagine that rewire a stove that is not even a year old. I feel like I am playing games here. I get the same response as dealing with PC Richards direct, the run around. I want the appliances to be fixed or replaced. These appliances are a year old and has been nothing but a headache. Also, I paid for the extended warranty, it was not given to me and they were very expensive. If I did not purchase these warranties I would be "SCREWED". I am worried about four years from now when the warranty is no longer in effect. I have nothing but headaches, I could just imagine four years from now.

Response:

Customer has been issued credit of what they paid us for the range in question to exchange it for the same model or to use that credit to reselect to a different make and model. We will contact the customer with that resolution. In the meantime the customer can contact the store where they made the purchase and have them look at all the information on their invoice [redacted] where all the necessary information will be so that they can process the exchange.

Review: On 4/**/2012 I purchased a Friedrich Air conditioner model # SM24N30 from PC Richards in Astoria. The ac unit was delivered about a month later because it had not arrived at PC Richard's yet. We finally got the ac and used it June,July, August and September of 2012 without any problems. Next summer(2013) again we used the ac June, July and August only. All of September the ac was not used because I was away on vacation. When I returned the end of September the weather was still hot enough to use the ac. I turned the ac on and there was no cold air coming out, only hot air. I called PC Richards and they sent over a technician a few days later and on October * of 2013 they told us the AC was losing freon. They took the unit repaired it. We got the unit back and we did not use it again until the end of May of 2014. I called PC Richard's again to tell them we have the same issue- no cold air. They sent a technician over on 6/*/2014 and the unit was taken once again with the same problem- the unit is leaking freon and the coil ha to be replaced. I call the technician a week later to see when we will be getting the unit back and the receptionist tells me 2-3 weeks because the part we need is on back order.. That would be a total of 3 weeks without an ac. I have a newborn and I cannot have a house without a properly functioning ac. I call PC Richard's and they arrange for new unit to be delivered to us and they wold take back the old one when the technicians returned it to us. The new ac(same model # as above)is delivered on 6/**/2014. Everything was working fine until 10 days later when the ac starts making a noise like a lawnmower is going off. I call PC Richard's again to tell them of the problem and they send a technician over and the diagnosis was a loose fan. They fix it on the spot. On 7/*/2014 around 7 or 8 pm the ac starts blowing out hot air again. I call PC Richard's to notify them and they said they would call me back. I have yet to receive a phone call. Last night, 7/**/2014 around 3 am my wife woke up to feed the baby and the room was hot. SHe checks the vents and there is hot air coming out again. She woke me up and in fact there was hot air coming out of vents. I called PC Richard's again today and I have yet to receive a phone call.Desired Settlement: I want an air conditioner that is reliable and will not break down. I paid a lot of money for the newest model AC waited a month for it to arrive and it is nothing but problematic for the past year. Friedrich is a reputable company and I can't understand why this is happening.

Review: Since my purchase of a Frigidaire Refrigerator Model [redacted] this past summer, I have had nothing but issues with this product. I paid approximately $700 for this product and have had to throw out many foods in freezer and refrigerator costing me $300 in food. P.C. Richards & Son has sent a repair person at least $ times already, replaced the handle once and it broke again, have replaced a part and still having same issue. I requested that they give me a different refrigerator and I would pay the difference or give me back my money as they claim the customer satisfaction guaranteed. This has been to no avail. They sent a repair guy again and he says he will bring more parts and two new door handles. I simply want a replacement of my choosing at this point. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed in PC Richards & Son.Desired Settlement: I would prefer a replacement of my choice or a total refund.

Business

Response:

Tell us why here...Customer can contact the store manager at the store where their purchase was made as we have now issued them full credit of what they paid for the refrigerator and the service contract so that they can go to the store and use that credit towards the reselection of a different make and model. If the model that they choose is more that the credit that they have been issued then they will have to pay the difference in cost.

Review: My whirlpool HE washer control panel failed and washing machine stopped working. On 9/* called PC Richard who had someone out on 9/**. I am still waiting for parts and being told part is on back order. Machine is no more than 3 years s o I am upset not only with repair delay but with the poor quality of workmanship by whirlpool. I did get the extended warranty so I am covered. I am told every time PC richard will call me back and they don't. I think it it is much to long to have to wait for a month for repairsDesired Settlement: Whatever is faster, either give me new machine or fix so it will not break down again

Business

Response:

I do not blame the customer fro being upset. I have checked with the parts department and the control board needed is on back order with no ETA. We have issued this customer a credit of what they paid for the washer in 2011 to exchange it or to reselect. They can call the store where their purchase was made and all the information regarding this resolution will be on our computer system so that the store can process the exchange.

Review: I purchased 4 appliances (GE top line brands G/E Cafe and Ge Profile) from PC Richards when they were offering or advertising that they will provide rebate that matches that of the manufacturer GE sometime during the Xmas Holidays on 12/*/2014. The sale man Anthony R[redacted] and Manager Anthony G[redacted] assured me that PC Richards would match GE as per the SALE advertisement. With their great sales talk, in addition to the appliances they persuaded me to buy extra 5 years warranty protection. There were some changes in model # when they had better sales promo in March 2015 but was assured by both men that my rebates is the same $500 from GE and $500 from PC Richards. Rebates claim form were filed on time

(I bought also wine cooler and iMac in addition because I thought they were honest people.) The GE cafe dishwasher has not functioning properly, I called service 4 times, and the service guys are from GE. I was told by the service guy that GE give 1 year warranty, but I already paid 5 years warranty to PC Richards.)

I received deliveries months after (3-**-2015) as agreed because I was having complete kitchen renovations. After deliveries, I followed up with GE my rebates, after few weeks, I received my $500 rebates. When I followed up with PC Richards they said, I am not entitled to any. I called my Salesman Anthony R[redacted] immediately, and he told me they have to give it to me because PC Richards had no reason not to. He promised me to follow up my rebates. Many times I called Anthony almost every week. When he was not around, I spoke with different managers, and was told to refer to Anthony. I spoke with Managers Robin and Robert, on different dates. Both told me they would l refer to the general manager. On 8/**/2015 I spoke to Robert and told him, I will post my complaint on the Internet, and PC Richard better honored their promise because $500 is not worth the bad publicity. Still was ignored. I called Anthony salesman and said the manager named Martin was taking care of it and was trying to override the promotion or will get in touch with GE. I called again after two weeks, Anthony referred me to Martin the manager, and Martin asked if I am willing for $200 or $250. I said no, and he said he would talk to upper managent on his meeting next week. Week after, Martin said he is about to go to the meeting, he asked again if I accept $200/or $300, lesser than $500 I said no. He said he would let me know. It has been 3 weeks; I did not get a response from them. The last time I spoke with the salesman, in Sept 2015, that besides my rebates I want to cancel my 5 years warranty since GE is servicing it not PC Richards for the first year and I therefore can claim the 5 years protection that I paid for. He continued to persuade me not to but I don’t trust them, and wouldn’t want to deal with them ever again.Desired Settlement: I want my rebates of $500 and complete refund of my warranty of 5 years of $ 539.99. I can no longer trust the company to have the extended warranty and deal with them ever again

Business

Response:

Tell us why here...This customer should contact the District Manager of that store at [redacted] and he will be able to assist them with the rebate issues and with the full refund of their extended warranties. They should give him their invoice number [redacted] so that he can investigate this matter to see what happened and why they are not receiving their $500.00 rebate.

Response:

Tell us why here...I do not understand the rejection. The diswahser in question can be exchanged for the exact same make and model as an even exchange with no money out of pocket to the customer. There is nothing about any refund The diswahser is under the manufacturers warranty and we still have the same model in stock in order to do that exchange. All the customer has to do is contact the store and they will complete the necessary paperwork to get that exchane done.

Business

Response:

Customer cancelled service calls twice in November and once in December. So, the last time we were out to service the refrigerator was in October. Have the customer call us at 1-800-696-2000 and a telephone representative can set up a service call for them as whatever repairs we did in October are guaranteed for 90 days. If something different is now wrong and not related to the parts we used for the previous repair then they will have to pay for the additional service needed.

The problems that the customer had with this refrigerator were not related, so that is why we charged her for the last service call which was completed on 1/**/14.

Review: My name is [redacted] and I am writing this letter in regards to a GE refrigerator I purchased at PC Richards in 2008 model #GSH25JFXBB invoice [redacted]

I am very disappointed on the service that I have gotten from GE and PC Richards.

I purchase the refrigerator and service contract in 2008 with in less than 1 year of purchase I used my contract two times in 2009

I used it again 2 time in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. as you can see, I have completely used the service contract too many times for

1. the rubber coming off

2. not getting cold

3. my veggie compartment not working

4. the ice maker not working .. 3 service calls on this

I have had over 7 or more calls on this product I asked for a new refrigerator serval times and was told that it can be fixed we will send out a service rep.

On serval calls the same rep will come out.. I explain to him what the problem is and he said only GE and tell me what they can do when it comes down to replacing.

I have called PC Richards on serval occasion about this product and they advised to call GE it's been a back and fort with both companies since the problem started

I purchased the service contract and they came out and I am still having the same issues as of today with My refrigerator .. my veggies spoiling and my ice make not dispinning the ice and my water comes out warm

the freezer over freeze all my food the Ice machine makes the ice but it taste is bad.. I have been complaining to both companies..

I did get a service contract I was told that I use my contract for five yrs with in 3 yrs. I was given a extented giving 6 months which in May of 2015 a service rep came out

and changed the ice maker again told me to buy a new filter again.

Two days after all that the ice maker still didn't work and the water is still warm. I have called the store I purchased the product they advice that I call coorparate and GE..

I explain to them that it has been a revolving door with this .. everyone is passing me on and now I am stuck with a refrigerator that doesn't work.

my food is spoiling and my meats and ice cream is freezer burnted.

All I asked for was a new refrigerator when this all started when I had my service contract .. but I was giving the wrong advise by both PC Richards and GE

I paid $$ too much for a refrigerator that doesn't work. I would like my money back or a new refrigerator.

This is a inconvenience on my finance and my life.

Required FieldDesired Settlement: I would like a refund or a replacement.. I would like for PC Richard and GE to honor their product and what they say they can do for their customers that have kept them in business for all these yrs..

Business

Response:

Tell us why here...As per [redacted] (one of our supervisiors) there are specific notes on this customers invoice that he already extended their contract which should have expired in 2014 to 2015 as a one time courtesy in order to place a service call at no cost to the customer. That contract has now also expired and there is nothing we can do to further assist this customer. If they would like to discuss the issue further they should contact [redacted] at ###-###-#### but his notes are very specific regarding this issue.

Review: I bough a washer about three years back with a ten year warranty. about a year back the machine started having problems and ripping my clothes. I called the service department and after several visits and complains they were able to report all the issues. about two weeks ago the machine started acting up again and PC Richard send a third party to look at the washer, they determine that the machine is not repairable. when I called to see what was going to happen I was told that I was going to get the machine replaces and the warranty was going to continued to the new washer; however, they needed the report from the third party before anything can be done. after a week of not hearing back from them, I called to see what was happening. I was informed that who ever told me that previous information never noted my account and I was given yet a different information. I was told that I will get a credit and I would lose the ten year warranty on the washer. I called PC Richards to find out who much a new washer goes for and the credit in not enough to cover the value of the washer. I would have to pay about $400 out of pocket for the washer and a new warranty.

since fed. 2013 I have been given the run around and I'm stuck with a broken washer and a useless warranty that cost over $150.00Desired Settlement: I would like my broken washer to be replaces with the same color (red) to match the dryer and the rest of the warranty to apply to the new machine.

Business

Response:

There already is a return authorization on this customers invoice and as per the supervisor that she has been dealing with and he will carry over the old contract to the new washer that she reselects. In the event that red washers are no longer available for sale we will either continue with the repair of their washer or offer to exchange both her red washer and red dryer and carry both contracts over. However, all we can do is give full credit of what they paid us for the washer & dryer back in 2011 so if the new products that they choose are more expensive, they will be responsible to pay the difference in cost. This resolution is actually over and above the terms of our extended warranty which states that once we exchange a product the remainder of their service contracts are satisfied by that exchange.

Review: P.C. Richard & Son mailed a flyer to my house in Connecticut which had a Mr. Coffee 4 cup coffee maker "MRCOFFEEDR5" advertised for $9.99 "IN-STORE & ON-LINE" "2 DAYS ONLY" "SUNDAY & MONDAY" 12/*/13 & 12/*/13". So on Sunday 12/*/13 at 2 pm I went to purchase the coffee maker advertised ON-LINE. I could not find the coffee maker at P.C. Richard & Son website www.PCRICHARD.com/cybermonday listed in P.C. Richard & Son flyer.

So, I used the "CHAT" feature at their website to ask about the above coffee maker advertised. Here is a copy of the dialogue I had with the "CHAT" person.

"Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?

you: [redacted]

[redacted]: Hello [redacted], how can I help you today

you: I want the Mr. Coffee in your flyer "MRCOFFEEDR5" FOR $9.99 on sale 2 days only Sunday & Monday but I cannot find it. The flyer says IN-STORE & ON-LINE?

[redacted]: we have been made aware of that, unfortunately it is currently only available in the stores, if you call ###-###-#### opt 1 we can place the order for you however there is a shipping charge

you: You are quilty of false advertising and I will report you to the Revdex.com and will not patronize your store. I want the coffee pot you advertised as you advertised, plain old simple illegal "bait and switch".

[redacted]: I apologize for this situation is there anything else I can assist you with?

you: No, you have been no help!

[redacted]: I do apologize we can assist you over the phone if there is nothing else I can do you for have a nice day"Desired Settlement: I want the coffee maker in their flyer at the price they advertised $9.99!!!

Business

Response:

That product is now also in our warehouse so they can order it on line and have it shipped as per the flyer.

Review: I receive a [redacted] as a gift and the item is not what I really need as its limited to what I can used it with. I need a higher end version due to the video card limitations. They now claim that the item can't be return but when the item was purchase they said otherwise. The sales advisor told my grandfather that if I did t like it I can return it. They are [redacted] who lie to get a commission.Desired Settlement: I even contacted [redacted] and file a complain for the none return acceptance. [redacted], California told me that if a retailer wishes to sell there products they have to accept there policies, [redacted] advised me that there notebook come with a 14 day return policy open/unopened. Yet these people lie to [redacted] people cause they know they will get always with it. [redacted] advised me that since it came from PC Richard & Son I need to complain to them. I spoken to the supervisor at [redacted] but nothing has come from it. I ask the supervisor ([redacted]) to have there regional manager call me but he told me "he doesn't have to do anything"

Business

Response:

Our merchandise return policy states that IPods are not returnable if opened. If that is the case then there is nothing we can do to assist this customer. If they would like to speak to the District Manager of that store they can call ###-###-#### and ask to speak to [redacted] and they will be put over to his voice mail and he will return their call.

Business

Response:

I see that the merchandise was returned on 9/**/13 and a store credit was issued at the present time. As far as receiving a refund back to the customers credit card, that will be handled by our accounting department once we receive the chargeback from his credit card carrier.

Sincerely,

I purchased a slide in range and refrigerator, along with installation and removal. The delivery and install process has been a nightmare. One 'team' did not have a needed part, another arrived without the right tools. The salesman who was supposed to call me when the part arrive 'got sick' and so no one called. And when the delivery finally was made, the delivery persons decided the existing refrigerator was too big and so they refused to take it.

I am now waiting for the 'special' team to remove the old refrigerator, which is in the middle of my family room, but the sales manager at the [redacted] store has no idea when they will be here. When I complained, he could only say that is "too bad." Nice !

Review: My Mom, who lives with me, received a delivery of a dryer from PC RICHARD. The guys who were sent not only refused to set it up, but they claimed it was against the store's policy. On top of that, one of them had the nerve to bribe my mother, saying that he'll only set it up if she gives him 100 dollars!!! On top of that, the wrong dryer was delivered!!!Desired Settlement: All the appliances in my house are from PC RICHARD. This unsatisfory service has never happenned before. I want better services from them.

Business

Response:

Tell us why here...We are not able to access the sale of this dryer from the information provided but if it is the wrong dryer that was delivered the customer should contact the [redacted] at the store where the purchase was made and he will arrange an exchange. Bear in mind that if the customer did not pay for a dryer installation at the time of the sale that our drivers will only drop that dryer off. Dryer installation prices vary depending on if it is a gas dryer or an electric dryer and venting may be required which is an additional cost to the delivery charge.

Review: Dec. **, 2012 I purchase a Samsung Refrigerator model # RF217ACRS. I had to call PC Richard 5x time to come to my home including today March **, 2016 because the refrigerator is leaking water in side of the veggie draw. The first 4x time that PC Richard came out they change the back panel in side of the refrigerator the claim was that it was not defrosting correctly and the water was freezing causing the water to back up and come in side of the veggie draw. The fix was obvious only temporary because its started leaking again and again. Today being the fifth time the service person had spoke with a technician who wanted him to again replace the panel, the service person tried to explain to him that this was a on going issues but the technician still wanted him to change it and I said no. when I called about this problem and given the last time that they came out which was just last August I was told that it could be replace given that I had call for the same exact problem and they could pull it and see that it is recurring. It seem to me that they want to continue to give me a temporary fix and run the time frame of my warranty out. Its wrong because 5x time come on how many more time is needed before you see that you need to replace the refrigerator and what I want now is a new refrigerator. I spend a good amount of money and beside this issues everything else is fine but the cleaning of this water every day is unacceptable.Desired Settlement: A replacement of the same style, type stainless steel but maybe not make by Samsung.

Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.

Response:

Tell us why here...This customer should call us att ###-###-#### and have the telephone representative get a supervisor to speak with her. Have them refer to invoice [redacted] and based on what we have already spent in repairs the supervisor may authorize an exchange. They will check with the last tech that was there to see if he received a case number from tech line as well. If an exchange is authorized, the remainder of the customers extended warranty will be satisfied by that exchange.

Consumer

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.

Sincerely,

[redacted]. I agree to call PCRichard with the hope that a exchange is what we both agree upon which would satisfy my complaint given the multiple time they had been to my home.

Review: Well I bought a 60 inch Plasma LG TV and the sales person told us I had a in store 2 yr warranty and if I wanted an extended 5 yrs warranty and I paid for it. 9 months from the date I purchase the TV shut off and didn't turn on any longer so I called the sales man and he told me to call the number on the warranty. so I thought that they would honor the 2 yr in store warranty and that was not the case they said they would fix it but that it is in the 5 yr warranty that they are honoring I was angry because the sales man lied to me but I just had them pick it up and fix it 2 weeks later they return the TV and it was working so I figured ok maybe it was a fluke

ok so 13 months later it happens again the repair men come to pick it up and they tell me that if they have to come back that they have to give me a new one well till this day they never honored that. since then the TV has been having the same problem until my warranty expired so the TV goes out again this time PC richards says they can't help so I go to LG the maker and they helped but that I had to pay for the labor which was 350 dollars that was last yr now it happened again and no one wants to help I know for a fact that the store sold me the floor model because when I went the next day after I purchased the TV the one that was on display was no longer there I told then the sales man what happen to the TV and they said they were putting up a new model . I went to purchase a home theater system which that stop working 1 day before the warranty expired and when I went to get a new 1 they said I had to pay 68 dollars in order to get the new 1 because I had to put a 1 yr warranty on it so I did and sure enough 2 days after the warranty expired that 1 stop working I called them because being that it's only 2 days after the warranty expired he flat out said no.. I need your help in putting a stop to this practice and want them to honor what they said they would do which is replace the TV after the 3rd repair...Desired Settlement: I want it to be known tat PC Richards do not honor what they say on TV commercials and in store...

OK your saying that I misunderstood what is an EXTENDED warranty well buddy your the one that don't know the difference between EXTENDED and INCLUDED because we got a 2 yrs Manufacture warranty and paid for a 5 yr EXTENDED Warranty(@ a cost of 100.00 $ a piece) and that adds up to 7 yrs it never said INCLUDED which u are saying you only do which would be robbing the customer because I'm paying for the 2 yrs the Manufacturer gives me for FREE so check your vocabulary because I know the Difference between INCLUDED and EXTENDED

Response:

If this customer has their original bill of sale they will see that their extended warranty or contract if you prefer to call it that begins as soon as the product is taken or delivered. If it is explained properly by the salesperson that sold it he would tell the customer that it is an extended warranty which merely extends the manufacturers warranty from their one year to 3 or 5 or 10 years, or from their 2 year manufactuers warranty to 3 or 5 or 10 years. Customer is correct, our extended warranty includes the manufacturers warranty and is not a contract that begins after the manufacturers warranty. That is the way all our contracts have always been sold. If they feel that is robbery, we apologize for that but that is the way it is.

Review: I PURCHASED A REFRIGERATOR FROM PC RICHARDS 6/**/12 AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE. I PURCHASED A 3 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS REFRIGERATOR AND IT HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. EVERY TIME THEY COME TO FIX THE LEAK THEY SAY IT HAS BEEN CORRECTED, BUT IT KEEPS LEAKING. MY FLOORS HAVE BEEN RUINED TWICE BECAUSE OF THE LEAKING REFRIGERATOR. AFTER 5 SERVICE CALLS PC RICHARDS IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE REFRIGERATOR. I SPOKE WITH A [redacted] AT PC RICHARDS WHO STATED THAT THEY DO NOT MAKE THE REFRIGERATORS, THEY JUST SELL THEM. SHE SAID THAT THEY DO NOT STAND BY THE PRODUCTS THAT THEY SELL AND TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CALL THE MANUFACTURER.Desired Settlement: I WOULD LIKE PC RICHARDS TO REPLACE THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator still has not been fixed. I have not heard from the company who was subcontracted to fix the refrigerator several weeks ago. I attempted to call [redacted] at least two times at the number PC richards gave and every time I call the person who answeres the phone pulls up my account, puts me on a lengthy hold and then picks up and states that [redacted] is not at his desk and offers to speak with me. At this point I would like to speak to a supervisor and find out what is going on with my refrigerator and why it has not been fixed or replaced by now. This is very frustrating. I will keep trying to call this [redacted] person but I have little hope that the issue will be resolved.
