Make sure the store offers warranties.

Vince, our muscle went down there today, our real estate agent, big Bob. He left with a promise of delivery by 6PM today. We'll see how intimidation works!

I don't have a lot of experience with the Superstore myself, but for future appliance purchases, I highly recommend Cash at Omni in Kralendijk.

Thank you Susan, I will keep Cash in mind for any future purchases.

The saga continues....they delivered the wrong frige & the dishwasher was missing parts & the wrong MH. We were assured the the dishwasher was ready to be installed & 50MH. So, we're waiting for the frige to be switched and have to buy a hose, cord, and transformer for the dishwasher (just too beat down to fight about it) :-( Please let this post save someone else from this nightmare so mine is not in vain!!!!!!!!

Well folks...the saga continues. We've had the fridge in the apartment for less than 2 months & it has quit working. Our manager's were told they needed the receipt, when they showed up with the receipt they were told there was nothing that could be done. The person who spoke with my managers was rude to them, can you imagine that, what have they done to be treated like that? The receipt says there's a 3 month warranty, why is there nothing that can be done to help? Does anyone know a good lawyer on Bonaire? It's time someone stops this guy from ripping people off. We can't afford to buy a refrigerator every few months. We have a refrigerator that's 17 years old, one we bought used that's over 25 years old, and my parents have one in their cottage from the 50's! Appliances are made to last a heck of a lot longer than 2 months, expecially when you pay a good price for them. Of course, he didn't deliver the one we actually bought, so we really have no idea what we actually got! Will keep everyone updated and I'm serious about that lawyer, I'm looking for recommendations.

Update on refrigerator. After a second fax reminder from my managers, the Super Store has exchanged the broken refrigerator for a new one. The replacement is actually 220v, which is what we bought in the first place. Hoping & praying the new fridge continues to work.

Patricia..Out of curiosity was an electrical converter/transformer used with the American made fridge before connecting it?

Vince...The refrigerator we bought was a 220v, so we paid to have a line ran. Then they delivered a 110v refrigerator! So we paid for a transformer. Now, we have a 220v refrigerator & I supposed an extra transformer. That was one of the things that made us so angry, we specifically paid to have a 220 line ran for the unit we bought & then they deliver a 110! Now we're back to where we should have been at the beginning. We also had to buy the electrical cord & one of the hoses for the dishwasher, which Lalit told us was all ready to hook up & use. Since this has happened to us & I've been posting on here, I've gotten several emails from others that have had similar experiences or know of someone who has. This has been a very expensive & stressful experience for us, not to mention a huge inconvenience to our managers. By posting my story on this site I hope to save others from going through the same nightmare.
