Sears

Found this on another site I frequent. Please verify for yourself, but I like doing business with Sears on some catagories of product. I like this!

Ponder this about Sears.......

Amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and they haven't withdrawn from their commitment.

Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year?

How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military duty? By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more. Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being called up.

Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all called up reservist employees for up to two years.

I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution. I suggest we all shop at Sears, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement it well deserves.

Pass it on...

Decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent the following e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department:

I received this e-mail and I would like to know if it is true. If it is, the Internet may have just become one very good source of advertisement for your company. I know I would go out of my way to buy products from Sears instead of another store for a like item, even if it's cheaper at that store.

This is their answer to my e-mail:

Dear Customer:

Thank you for contacting Sears. The information is factual. We appreciate your positive feedback.

Sears regards service to our country as one of greatest sacrifices our young men and women can make. We are happy to do our part to lessen the burden they bear at this time.

Sears needs to be recognized for this outstanding contribution and we need to show them as Americans, we do appreciate what they are doing for our military!

If what you say is true then I commend them. BUT ordering on line has a huge S&H plus Usery shipping charges. They buy shipping from UPS at 50% the regular rate and charge you 30% in excess of the regular rate. 80% percent profit in shipping. And dont forget those shipping and handling fees. Try ordering a part under a pound,under $5 and you can pay $15. I know and called people that work for sears and their opinion is 180 degrees from yours.

They buy shipping from UPS.

IMHO UPS delivery is worth every penny. And then some.
