I placed an order online and never received an email acknowledging my order, however the amount has been deducted from my account. I have tried on several occasions to contact HS by phone and via email but to no avail. They put you on hold no matter what time you call. I am amount to cancel this order unless I hear from them shortly.

They tell lie after lie to their employees

Original review Nov 10, 2023

I worked for this company over nine years. The whole time I was employed they told us we are owners.

We have an esop-employee stock ownership program. I retired last year. The company had been doing great. Well this year they informed me my esop (I was fully vested) had went from over thousands of dollars to $144.00.

And there is taxes to be taken from this amount. They had to pay their electric bills. They needed money. So they took my esop.

I was getting ready to start collecting my money. They pay you so much a month. I could really use the money. I am on a fixed income now and with declining health.

I am being forced out as I dont have over $5,000 in the account now. I had more than that. Now I am left with pennies. I worked very hard for these people to have them do this to me.

I am sad & very disheartened. Shame on Hammacher Schlemmer. Stealing money from people that put trust in you as an employer.

They truly do not care about their employees. If they dont care about us do you think they care about their customers?

Hey foolish, never publish personal info to an open internet website. That breach and your duplicate post are prohibited and have been reported to the webmaster.

P,S, Your attitude is appalling and you are a cheapskate if that's all you had planned. With a pitiful performance like that, why bother at all ?

CUSTOMER NO SERVICE

Purchased cordless bathroom scrubber and it began turning on by itself while not being used, after 4 months it died. Called Hammecher and was given RMA to return, told item would be replaced! Instead they credited my card for 80% of what I paid, when I called CUSTOMER NO SERVICE twice to request complete refund for defective product I was given complete runaround and BS explanations! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN AND WILL MAKE SURE EVERYBODY I KNOW IS AWARE OF HOW THEY DO BUSINESS

Stop screaming at us with the all capital letter format. That warranty is called "pro-rated" ; you used up X-% of the expected life , it was not a brand new unused unit from the box.

It was used. Used.

Abused ? Possibly.

Poor Customer Service and Delivery

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Your Company has one of the poorest, if not the poorest, customer service. Delivery costs are high - however, the items are rarely delivered properly. I have spoken to far far too many customer service representatives and still have not resolved problem.

You people talk too much and bore them to ears. Then they hang up.

If you were rude to me, I'd hang up too. Don't try to backpeddle and tell me how pleasant you were, either.
