Strubensvalley bad experience

I recently purchased a kARCHER F7 Floor cleaner from Builders Warehouse Strubensvalley. After using the machine a number of times it stopped working. I took it to the returns department at the Builders Strubensvalley branch where they informed me that they would send it to their supplier for repairs. I called the branch Manager and asked him to replace the machine as per the CPA. He informed me that it was not their policy and kept interrupting me when I tried to explain that his policy could never supercede the Law. I told him to show some measure of empathy towards my Wife who is a Pensioner and would now have to scrub our floors on her knees... he merely shrugged and stuck to his "policy" story. Three things I find often with some less ethical Busineses: 1. They try to delegate their responsibility to THEIR Supplier. 2. They refer to their internal policy and ignore the Law. 3. They try to bully the Customer. I am most disappointed in Builders Warehouse and hope that this type op Customer relations is limited to the Strubensvalley Branch Manager.

My Wife just collected the KARCHER Floor Cleaner from Strubensvalley Builders Warehouse...The so called repaired machine was returned to her in a scratched condition, incompletely re assembled and new rollers, filthy. I gave them a Machine in pristine condition and it returned to me as a piece of well worn s****! the saga continues.

The Branch Manager at Strubensvalley graciously agreed to replace my Machine. Thank you !! this is the type of service we all expect from a world class organization.
