Wringing out a bandana is a good way to measure incontinuity

My company was ripped off for several hundred dollars on a Sears on-line order last year. When the order didn't arrive, we phoned Sears to find out why. Sears said "Your order is under investigation by the Postal Inspector, someone stole your order, but we can't do anything until the Postal Inspector's investigation is completed. No sir, we can't give you a refund or re-send the order until the investigation is over. You can re-order the items if you want. That's all we can do." Up to now there has been no resolution. Buyer beware!!!!
I did not have any problem with Sears orders.
You guys must be crack dealers, cause most of us would have just called visa/whoever and pulled that right out of em.
I have this thing and its fine, I hate sears too.
is this a good price? Will it work on automotive stuff?
Only if your automobile uses electricity in any way. If you have a really old car with lanterns for headlights this meter is not for you.
Always glad to help, samben2
#4 It's called in store pick up... why pay for shipping when it would take longer for it to get to you and possibly get lost or stolen.
#7 If you are unsure of it working on automotive stuff, I wouldn't want you as a mechanic....
#8 is funny lol good one samben2
I was PO'ed at Sears a few years ago, but I love their tools, garage stuff, cabinets, etc. Good value; great quality. I ordered this item for in-store pickup.
#8, hilarious!
#8, funniest thing I've heard today!
#7, it will work as expected on basic voltage, continuity, resistance, etc on automotive circuits, but there are multiimeters designed for the purpose with addt'l functionality to do more advanced automotive diagnostics and this isn't one of them.
It is a fine deal though, to get a cheaper multimeter you will usually have to move down to the junky toy category which is much smaller and may take a rarer and lower capacity battery. As for the voltage detector, bleh I can just plug in whatever was using the outlet to see that, but it may come in handy in some situations and being free you might as well have it.
#4, you'll have to inform the CC company to settle on this type of issue. It's your own responsibility of ordering something and choose a shipping option that does not require a signature. That's where CC protection kicks in.
I actually bought a digital multimeter from Sears.com on 12/31/07 and I still haven't received an order confirmation email or a phone call to come pick it up. They charged my credit card right away, though. When I emailed them asking what the deal is, they said my order had been transferred to the store I am picking it up from. If I can't resolve this with a phone call or two, I'll just dispute the charge.
#14 - the cc protection kicks in when you want your money back from #12's girlfriend cause she gave you vd
"measures diode" ?! What are you trying to say, Ben? You usually measure resistance (to current flow). A diode is an electronic component that allows current flow in only one direction. It's like saying your flow meter measures dam. No, your flow meter measures the water movement that flows through the dam. This is so stupid I am having difficulty thinking of a valid metaphor.
Continuity is simply whether the wire is unbroken (continuous, and therefore little to no resistance) between your probes. Notice I used the plural
Meanwhile, I got this delivered to a Sears location; they required presentment of the card I used to originally buy it. Maybe I don't use my carry cards on the internet, and vice versa. Sears, you are a pain in the doughnut. Never again. (But finally got it, and it's a good multimeter).

No, it is not the buyer's responsibility ever. If that were true any asshat out there could just say "we shipped it", when they didn't, and you'e be SOL.
The seller has the obligation to get the product delivered to the buyer even if buyer picks the shipping option. IF the buyer directly pays the shipper, such that the shipper answers to the buyer not the seller, THEN the seller is off the hook the moment they submit proof that they handed the package off to the shipper.
The key ingredient here is who the shipper's client is. The buyer is not the client if not making the direct payment.
At that point didn't it occur to you to call that store? Did you choose in-store pickup?
IMO, you should not need to dispute the charge and doing that takes longer in many cases because the CC company then contacts the seller and waits for the seller response, and if the seller responds that they feel the charge should not be cancelled then the CC company comes back and asks you again.
When dealing with a reputible company (not that Sears is the greatest but they're far better than some crook on pricewatch) all you generally have to do is contact them and tell them that because you still don't have the product, you insist they cancel the order and issue refund.
