Builders Warehouse - New Trimtech burned out after second use no refund

Bought a new Trimtech garden trimmer, used it 2 times and the motor burned out. Took it in for refund after about 3 months, they told me theirs no warranty on the unit i have to pay in R400 to get it fixed. I don`t want a bad product like this i want my money back. I don`t think their response was in line with the consumer protection regulations. Will definitely take this case further if they don`t respond to this case.

Hi Dawie
 
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
 
I'm sorry the trimmer has since become faulty and for the overall service received.  I would like to have a look into this for you so that we can come to a satisfactory resolution.
 
I will be giving you a call shortly with regards to this.
 
Kind Regards

Reviewer Update
SoI received communication back from Builders and it looks like the manufacturing company Trimtech is looking for an escape route saying that I replaced the 2 point power socket with a 3 point standard South African power socket and this void their warranty. Not taking responsibility for a motor that burned out on second use within 3 months. Firstly the 2 point power adapter keeps cumming loose as I am sure most South Africans will agree with me. So this is my next complaint. Anyway Trimtech will see my posts on all social media very soon and 1 unit will cost them dearly with this attitude. Lets give them some time to rethink this and then I will start the fire I will use all platforms locally and abroad. I will give them a fair change but I am not the kind of person that backs down they will soon find that out. If their products are bad then we want them off our shelves in South Africa period, unfortunately if builders protects them then they will go along with a bad review. I bought the unit from Builders and not Trimtech so their reputation is on the line as well. Regards Dawie
