1 Star (would gladly change to 5)
I really wanted to have a great experience with Jim’s Appliance because I prefer supporting local Boise businesses. Unfortunately, this situation left me pretty disappointed.
We purchased a refrigerator for a rental property that was delivered and installed by their team. After nearly 36 hours, the unit still was not maintaining safe food storage temperatures. The tenants ended up losing about $200 worth of frozen and refrigerated food as a direct result.
To be fair, the service team was responsive and Ursula in particular was great to work with. They did agree to exchange the refrigerator rather than send a servicer, which we appreciated and which suggested there was a legitimate concern about the unit’s performance.
However, ownership ultimately refused to offer any goodwill credit or accommodation for the food loss. While I understand policies exist, a refrigerator that cannot safely store food within a reasonable timeframe after delivery is not functioning as expected. A small customer-focused gesture would have gone a long way here.
I would genuinely prefer to update this review to 5 stars because the frontline service experience was positive. Unfortunately, the lack of ownership support and accountability made that impossible.
