INCIDENT Tue 3 Jan
HEADLINE

Waiting more than a month (and counting) for swap

The swap department was suppose to exchange my broken bed reported on 3 Jan. I was asked on numerous occasion to have someone at home as they will be exchanging the bed on x date and each time no one would pitch. The salesman (Jazz- Southgate) and I continuously followed up on the matter to no avail and to date my bed is still not exchanged. I contacted the swap department myself today (directly, not via customer care), but all my calls were unanswered. The call centre also tried on numerous occasions with no answer. I understand that my complaint might not be the only one they have to attend to, but can it really take a full month - and counting - to exchange a bed? I have been patient and understanding for way too long and need action to be taken by the relevant persons. It is not only inconvenient, but a waist of my time to constantly follow and receive the same feedback daily "someone will get back to you ma'am". I had to buy a board to support the mattress as I could not use the bed, which was an additional expense for me for which I will not be compensated. An urgent response to this matter would be highly appreciated.

CUSTOMER'S FEEDBACK leenyoka Time and Date 13:28:33 | Thu 9 Feb 12
Utterly Disgusted: I am utterly disgusted that it took a post on Hello Peter for my matter to be escalated to senior management when this matter has been outstanding for more than a month. Is there no internal escalation policy to ensure timeous turn-around to customer complaints? Ms Kerusha called me at exactly 13:20 on 08 Feb (see post above), I am still waiting for customer services to "contact me shortly" 24 hours later - what exactly is shortly by Furniture City standards?
