AVON and SKYNET

Avon and SkyNet do not deserve a rating to be honest, they deserve a negative -10 rating as their service is so pathetic as to be non-existent.

Out of pure frustration and exasperation at not receiving ANY feedback from either party I have turned to HelloPeter as a last resort.

I had placed my order for an amount of R734 on 18/12/2022 so that it could be delivered before Christmas. I received an sms on 22/12/2022 from SkyNet advising that my order will be delivered on the same day.

I was at home the entire day as I work from home and we had a full time guard stationed at my property during that time. No delivery was made on that day or any other day thereafter. When I went online to track my order on SyNet's website I noticed that the package was delivered to an Amanda who signed for the package without including her address and cell fone number - very irregular practice of the SkyNet delivery driver in the first place who did not confirm with this so-called "Amanda" if this was the correct address that he was delivering to and whether I lived on the property and neither did the driver call me to check if he was at the correct address in the first place.

Suffice to say, I called SkyNet after the Xmas weekend and was appalled at their pathetic service. When I was put through by the SkyNet national Callcenter to the Durban branch NO ONE answered the fone and so began this nightmare of a journey to get my money back from either SkyNet or Avon.

At SkyNet I asked to be put through to the Avon Account Manager, Zandile, who couldn't care less about my package which I had paid for being delivered to the incorrect address and person - she was MOST unhelpful and this in itself is an understatement. She was rude ad arrogant and refused to assist at all. I requested from her that they refund my money and was told that they will refund Avon who will then refund me. up until now I have received no feedback from Zandile.

I then contact the Avon/Justine callcenter thinking that they may be a bit more helpful but 5 months later still none of the Callcenter agents I spoke to Oratile, Verginique or Dudu has returned my calls with feedback - I asked to be put through to a Manager today when I called and spoke to Dudu but all she did was advise that they are awaiting feedback from SkyNet - does it take 5 months to get feedback from their service provider SkyNet - I would have moved the Avon/Justine account to another courier company as SkyNet has terrible reviews on social media!!!

After this terrible customer service I will NEVER again support AVON and I have been a longtime user of Avon products from the Avon agents!

ALL I WANT NOW IS MY MONEY TO BE REFUNDED which Avon is refusing to refund despite numerous calls to their Callcenter.

I have details of the dates, times and duration of the numerous calls made to Avon and SkyNet which I will provide SHOULD SENIOR MANAGEMENT FROM AVON HAVE THE DECENCY TO CONTACT ME FOR MY REFUND.

REALLY EXTERMELY TERRIBLE AND PATHETIC SERVICE FROM AVON AND SKYNET

Reviewer Update
Should Avon not FULLY refund me for non delivery of the items ordered, I will seek redress with the Consumer Goods Ombudsman and further pursue this with the NCC - it surely does not take 5 months to provide feedback from your service provider SkyNet.
