Wow! Talk about advertising customer service they definitely do NOT deliver on. We will never buy anything from Cohen's again. The only reason we bought from them in the first place was because our builder wanted us to. Their business is definitely not conducive to couples who both work away from home. Their prices aren't great either. We were able to get them to price match a price from Best Buy, but after our total experience, we would have done just as well or better to just buy everything from a big box store. Maybe a few decades ago Cohen's was a great place, but they need to modernize the way they do business. Or maybe their business model still works for Old Montgomery Money, but it definitely doesn't work for the remaining 99% of us in the River Region.
Our $2K refrigerator we purchased just 2.5 years ago now won't make any ice and the freezer has started acting up. Because it is out of the 1 year manufacturer's warranty, Cohen's won't do anything to help us fix it or give us a credit towards a new refrigerator. During the 1 year mfg warranty, Cohen's repaired it for us once-which took two service visits, which they only offer on the weekdays. No weekend service for anyone who might be busy during the week. Even though our ice maker has had multiple problems since that one repair, we never called back to get Cohen's to come fix it because we didn't have the time during the week to be home every time it broke down (both of us work away from home). My husband would just find repair ideas online and implement them. Of course the ice maker would break after a few weeks, but at least it would be a temporary fix. Now, it is completely broken and no online solutions are working for it. Cohen's is saying there is nothing they can do on their end because there is only one recorded service call. Per their customer service rep this morning, their solution for us would have been to have called every time the refrigerator broke and if we couldn't be home for the service visit, have family or friends let the technician in our house or develop a relationship with the technician to where he could get in our house on his own. What a solution. I don't want to take up my friends and family's time with my numerous refrigerator repairs-they barely have time to cover things going on in their own house. Plus, there is no way I am going to "develop a relationship" with the tech guy to where we wouldn't have to be home to let him in.
Also, as a small store that sells only electronics and prides themselves on being better than a box store, I would expect Cohen's to keep up with what might and might not be good appliances. After looking at reviews online, it is clear that our refrigerator was a terrible one. It never should have been carried by Cohen's in the first place.
If we hadn't had our first repair covered under warranty, it would have cost us $768. There is no way we are going to pay that out of pocket now to repair it when it will most likely break again. I guess we're going refrigerator shopping again (since the manufacturer won't help us either), but I can guarantee you we won't be shopping with Cohen's now or ever again.
Cohen's might want to remember the fact that everyone learns in business school-a dissatisfied customer will tell at least 9 people, maybe more, about their problems with a company and recommend not conducting business with it. You better believe I'm telling everyone I know, which is more than 9 people, not to do business with Cohen's.
I'm telling you, if you ever feel the need to go in this store to check out their prices or service, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! read more
