Misleading Sales Call & No Refund – Extremely Disappointed!

I received a call from a lady claiming that, due to my loyalty to RCS, I qualified for a fantastic deal – a Samsung A15 for R262 per month, including some data or minutes. Based on that offer, I agreed.

Nowhere in the conversation was I told that R6299 would be deducted in one go from my RCS account. When the phone was delivered and I saw the charge, I immediately called Blue Label Connect (within a day or two) to return the phone and request a refund.

This is nothing short of misleading and *****. The consultant I spoke to said they would first need to request a Proof of Delivery to verify if I’m within the 7-day return period – and that it would take 48 hours. It’s now been 96 hours and I still haven’t heard a word.

My call reference number is #***9. This is unacceptable. I want my money back and expect this matter to be resolved urgently. If this is how Blue Label Connect conducts business, I will never trust them again and I’ll be warning others to avoid them too.

On the 14th of August I received a call from a CourierIt driver, Nkhetheni Nemadzhilili, confirming that my parcel/device would be collected on the 15th of August. On the 15th he phoned again, saying he was an hour away – I waited, but he never pitched.

Since then, it has been the same story every day – phone calls and empty promises, but no collection. Today is the 20th of August and still nothing has been done. I even phoned the call centre, where I was assured my parcel would finally be collected today, yet again nothing.

This service is completely unreliable and unprofessional. How can a courier company operate on false promises daily and still not fulfill such a simple task?

Good day,

This matter has been dragging on far too long, and I am extremely frustrated.

The device in question was collected by the courier company that Blue Label Connect sent on 27 August 2025. Blue Label Connect subsequently confirmed receipt of the device and advised that my refund would be processed back onto my RCS account. I was told this would reflect in the September 2025 statement run.

The September statement run is now complete, and yet no refund has been processed. This is unacceptable. You have had the device back in your possession for weeks, and there is no reason for such an unreasonable delay.

I am demanding that this refund be processed immediately and confirmation provided without any further excuses or delays.

Please treat this as urgent and resolve it without fail.
