Don't Hold Stock of Promotional Items!!

I have been trying to purchase a Megamaster Gas Braai Evolution 500 Pro - Silver for over 3 weeks from Builders Warehouse Sandown Road, Cape Town. This is a promotional item yet this Builders warehouse holds no stock of the product except the dented display model! I have followed up with this store on no less than 7 occasions to find out when these will be delivered and each time I am told "soon"! They can tell me its been ordered but have absolutely no clue when it will arrive, not even an estimate and there is never any management on site to escalate this too! The most recent phone call I've been told they were delivered on 20th June, so having called today to confirm delivery I have now been told they don't know if it has been delivered and MIGHT still be on the container that has arrived. They can't even do a simple check on a the delivery note to see if the product has arrived.

I have never experienced such lack of customer service, nor store management and staffing incompetence in my life! I have provided my phone number 3 different times to 3 different people and no one takes ownership of any service whatsoever and to be perfectly honest I'm just **** to to get me off the phone or out of the store.

Why you would have a promotion of product but hold no stock is beyond me. When this does finally arrive whether in our out of the promotional period I expect to be provided this product at the promotional rate and I certainly do not expect to pay in anyway any delivery or service charges due to the lack of commitment & "service" currently being provided.

Absolutely appalling!!

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your insight on your experience and for taking my call.

I am really sorry to hear what happened, this is not the kind of service we ever want our customers to receive. This concerns me knowing that we have a website and the possibilities of placing an order online, we should have made you aware of it.

I will address all the matters you've highlighted to ensure that this doesn't happen to you. It is our desire to ensure that you get the best service we have to offer you without exception. 

I will remain in contact with you until this matter is fully resolved, thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you.

Will keep in touch with you.

Regards,
Joshua
