The Worst Customer Service
My husband bought a Craftsman gas-powered weed whacker at the beginning of June. It stopped working two months later, at the beginning of August. We contacted customer support for this product, and they gave us a list of companies to which we could take it. Most did not service hand-held units, a few didn't answer, and a few said they had too many units to accept any more. So, we called back, and they gave us locations further away from our house. Those did not service Craftsman products or answer the phone. Then they said we could find another person to service it and they would refund us. However, every place I called said they only service home appliances or lawn mowers. I really do not know what to do now. We are now three weeks into this process with several calls, emails, and just no luck. We can't return it to Lowes because we are past the 30-day window. I guess we will continue to contact the places that could accept them in weeks or months to see if they can eventually take it and fix it. In the meantime, my husband broke down and bought a different brand weed whacker, and we are out $190. My husband chose Craftsman because he has had good experiences with their products in the past. Obviously, we got a lemon this time, and it does not seem like they are ever going to resolve the issue. We have used various kinds of Craftsman products, but this service is just awful. At this point, I am so frustrated with Craftsman that I don't want to give them another dime. Based on all the poor reviews, it seems like they do not provide any good customer service or honor their warranties.
