DON'T BUY FROM HERE! They are devious and not an ounce of good customer service.
I purchased a SpeedQueen washer/driver unit paying thousands of dollars. They said delivery/installation charges were included even though I further inquired that it's a walk-up and yep, delivery/installation charges, he said are still included.
When the delivery/installer (Carlos) arrived at my home, he announced it will cost me $120 cash to bring the unit in my apartment. I tried to call S&W Appliances to ask about the surprise charges that were supposed to be included, but at this point they stopped picking up my calls.
While bringing up the unit, the guys broke my hallway light -took off a measly $20 from the delivery charges which I agreed. After installation, they said I can run the machine. I was excited to do so until it got to the spin cycle. The unit started banging and dancing in place. I called the installer to return but he refused to, saying I have to call S&W to get a new order to return to my home again. This was Friday at 4pm. S&W is close on Saturday.
When I contacted SpeedQueen, they said, seems like shipping bolts are still attached. I emailed this to S&W and they couldn't believe something this 'basic' was not done and tried to ignore me. I forwarded the SpeedQueen email explaining this. I also called S&W several times only to float around their phone system and not get hold of a human. Eventually, many days and emails later, they sent someone from Superior Repair to fix my dryer. What? Dryer? Who said anything about a dryer? They clearly were not paying attention to me.
Needless-to-say, after many more calls and emails, the installer returned 12 days later to FINALLY remove the shipping bolts. There was a lot of hemming and hawing from the installer not wanting to return, but there they were the shipping bolts still attached in the back and front of the unit. "Basic" knowledge they simply didn't have.
I asked S&W to refund me the delivery charges that these guys duly don't deserve. S&W said that I hired a third party to install, therefore they couldn't help me. I hired? I didn't hire, S&W hired him for me without prior consent!
S&W Appliances are sneaky and dishonest. Not a place to drop your hard earned money.
I purchased a refrigerator, dishwasher, stove and faucet from AJ Madison. They were TERRIFIC. They picked-up my calls, all charges were upfront, they worked with me with delivery and were reliable. I should've contacted them with this purchase, but I was swayed with S&W's price. In hindsight, I should've negotiated with AJ Madison and they would've worked with me.
I'll never buy from S&W Appliances again and I will tell as many people that...
By the way, Hershy, the sales guy who took my order, says "good luck" before he hangs up all the time. Wonder why? (Good luck dealing with them?) read more
