Poor service from BW

On October 23 2023 I bought 11 trays for window boxes from BW Willoughbridge on the internet. After numerous emails and telephone calls in December they advised that they did not have the items in stock as there was a stockholding error on the web. No one seems to be able to tell me when the items that I paid for in October will be delivered to me - surely these trays are available somewhere in South Africa? I am merely told that "you will get back to me", but no real information on the status of the order. On Saturday I visited my local store in Tokai and I was promised someone would revert today. As of 15.00 - no call. I previously purchased the window boxes themselves from various stores, but these are of no use without the trays. What are you going to do about this?

When will this be? This is the same story I have been hearing for 10 weeks.

I have just received a telephone call from Lungile at your Willoughbridge branch. So, 3 months after I have paid for the items she advises that the supplier is no longer able to supply the window box trays. I also bought 11 window boxes which now cannot be used without the trays. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS.

Hi Jackie, 

Lungile is speaking to her sales manager to get away forward to resolve this for you. JF

I doubt it - why did they not go onto builders on line shopping and find out for themselves that the product is available at your Amanzimtoti (29 No.) and Hillcrest stores (11 No.)? You are a national company - surely they can be delivered to your Willoughbridge store? Please give me a comprehensive proper answer not "we are looking into it"

I just phoned Lungile at the Willowbridge store. She was not aware of the fact that both Amanzimtoti and Hillcrest have the outstanding items. Why did you not inform her of this? Why must I do all the chasing? What kind of service is this? I dont honestly know why you bother to respond on this forum when you are clearly doing NOTHING
