Fully paid laybuy unpacked back to the shelf

Ackermans Walmer Park,

I had a layby made in January at Walmer Park - PE and paid it days before lockdown in Cape Town. When shops reopened I sent someone in to fetch he laybuy with a screenshot copy of the reference number of the laybuy only to have her sent away because they want the ID of the person who had done the laybuy. While she was at the shop they would not accept a photo of the laybuy over the phone.

We're in Cape Town with our IDs, I don't know how they could expect her to have the ID. I called Ackermans today (26.25.2020) to query only to be told that the laybuy expired yesterday even though they saw that it was fully paid.

With the lockdown rules, a laybuy fully paid...they unpacked the items back to the shelves. I'm very upset!

Not even one of them called me to ask if I can fetch it, the second lady who called after I told them I want all my stuff back, had the guts to say they saw it was fully paid but have unpacked it because it was not fetched AND that Ackermans Durbanville should have said there's a due date to fetch it. With the lockdown, who knew at that time when exactly store will open again?
They just unpacked my labuy and not even a call to tell me I will be getting a refund.

I told them to call me back when they've packed all my stuff back as it was.

Hi, Yes - thank you.

The store manager called the next day and called a few other outlets to put mu laybuy together. She was very helpful and called me at each item she found just to make sure I still want the same size and colour of items. If I had spoken with her from the beginning, none of these complaints would have happened.

She was great and handled the situation and sorted it in an hour. Thank You.
