Builders Warehouse City (Ysterplaat)

I placed an order on the 21/09/2023 (Order# ***). Today is 28/09/2023, and I'm still waiting for my items to be delivered. I received a message saying they would deliver on 25/09/2023. That never happened. I telephoned the branch (Builders Warehouse City - Ysterplaat) on 26/09/2023, and I was told they would deliver on 27/09/2023. That never happened. I telephoned again and was told they had a "technical problem" and was unable to deliver. They could've notified me because I had to take off from work to be at home. I was told they will deliver on 28/09/2023. That never happened.

I telephoned the branch again and I was transferred to at least five different people. I asked each of them in a calm and respectful tone if I could speak to the branch manager and all of them transferred me to the wrong person. Some people even responded to my question as if they didnt know what a branch manager is. Come to think of it now, it seems like none of them knows what a branch manager is. Eventually I was cut off after holding at least 15 minutes. I telephoned customer service again and I was told someone at the Ysterplaat branch said the items will be delivered tomorrow (29/09). This is totally unprofessional and unacceptable on Builders Warehouse part. What are the people doing there if they can't even get an online order right? I am disgusted in the Ysterplaat branch and their poor customer service. I will not support them ever again.

JF, please find out what is going on. This is ridiculous and unheard of. I telephoned this morning again, and the lady at the Builders Warehouse call centre sounded unsure about a delivery date. All she could see on her side was that my order was supposed to be delivered on 25/09/2023. I was told yesterday that they would deliver today (29/09/2023). I placed the order on 21/09/2023, and to this day, no one knows anything about my order. This is unacceptable! I just can't believe this is happening. I've wasted so many days off work, my time and airtime. Whoever is responsible for this has no idea the ripple effect their doings are. It truly is unbelievable!
