AVBOB TAKES ADVANTAGE OF MOURNING FAMILIES!!!!

I am extremely frustrated with the customer service I have been receiving from Avbob!

Firstly, they sold my grieving mother a substandard product! The engraving on my dear late father's tombstone has completely faded off! IMAGINE!

I provided them with the necessary evidence to show that indeed they installed the tombstone and that the product does not meet the acceptable quality standards we expect from tombstones, and I asked that they kindly assist by re engraving the tombstone or replacing it and they responded with so much hostility!

They sent me a single page response claiming that the guarantee on the stone is only valid for three months! IMAGINE!!! Who on earth would want to spend R10 000 for a tombstone that will only last three months???? Its the most ridiculous thing i've read!

I asked them to send me the policy document which informs this response and they ignored my email and the follow up emails the since April. I raised my concerns on Twitter, twice, and all they say is that they will get back to me!

Avbob is clearly a very poor service provider which has no respect for its customers and take no accountability for its shoddy workmanship. I am shocked and appalled that such a 'great' company with a 'good' reputation, actually rips off mourning families by providing them with very bad products in their time of need!

I am currently investigating the matter further to see which Ombudsmen can assist as this is unacceptable! I would not recommend anyone to buy any products or pay for any service from this shameless company!

Good Day. 

Its sad to see that you don't even respect me enough to write my name correctly. I responded to your reply and asked that you forward me the policy document which informed your response as I feel that it is not fair... Till today you have failed to send me this.

Regards
