BRANDHUBB, DISSATISFIED AFTER SALE REPAIR SERVICE

Order 9736 RYOBI 650 W GENERATOR FAULTY

The generator that I bought in June 2021 is faulty. It runs for 5-45 minutes or less and switch off. I have taken this up with BrandHubb, Charne Gibson Service manager to repair, replace or refund me. The response is -"I did check with our Logistics Manager what a Courier collection would cost from Pretoria to Midrand and due to the weight of the unit it would be well over R1 000" I don't understand why this cost would be for my own pocket if it is still under warranty ? It is unacceptable and very bad after service delivery. It would cost me R2000 from my own pocket for courier cost for delivery and return for a generator that cost R2500? Extremely disappointed in the service given.

Hi Bernice
As discussed, as  your repair is more than 6 months after purchase it will be a warranty claim with Ryobi.
They will be more than happy to assess and repair your Generator as it is under a year old.  It would need to be taken to them directly for the assessment.
As per our Returns Policy, all warranty claims after 6 months are to be handled directly with the Manufacturer.

Thank you for the response Charne, I appreciate it. I understand that this is BrandHubb's company policy, and Ryobi's aftersales policy, but it has really affected me in a very bad way and left me stranded with a faulty product. It will cost too much to get it repaired (courier cost ect.). I cant even resell it because it doesn't work. I would focus more on the fine print in future before buying a product again.

Hi Bernice
I completely understand your frustrations.
I am trying to see if Ryobi is able to assist you in getting the unit to them.
I will revert back as soon as I have more info.

I want to thank Charne Gibson, the Service Manager at Brand Hubb for going out of her way to supply me with details, of the company closer to my home, where I can take the generator for assessment. I appreciate all the help and effort with this enquiry.
