Treat customers with a "we don't care" attitude and no quality control done. The customer is expected to do the quality control!!!

Bought floor and wall tiles from CTM in Bloemfontein for a project. When almost half the tiles of 100m2 floor and 188m2 of the wall had been laid, issues were picked up in the tile sizes. Majority of tiles were between 1 - 3mm out, which caused issues. When this was brought to the attention of CTM, they merely pointed to their disclaimer on the box which states once tiles have been laid, CTM bear no responsibility. So, as a contractor, I need to meausre every single tile in a box BEFORE laying it, so that I can pick up an issue and take it back to CTM. That is ridiculous. Who has the time for that. Their customer service is shocking and this is not the first time I have had issues with their tiles. This iwll be the last time I buy from CTM and I will be taking this matter further within CTM's complaint department.

Reviewer Update
Just to update my original review, it was actually Palesa Baleni from CTM projects Head Office that assisted me with the order of the tiles and whom I contacted to raise the issue with the size of the tiles.

I have since been contacted by the Bloemfontein branch who are doing everything they can to assist.
