Extremely poor service and serious concerns about transparency

My experience with Cenava has been extremely disappointing from start to finish. Product information on their site was inaccurate, models pictured differed from what was actually being sold. Communication was consistently poor, updates were contradictory, and I was left to follow up repeatedly just to find out what was happening with my order. The entire process was handled unprofessionally, with little regard for the customer.

After weeks of back-and-forth, Cenava agreed to issue a refund, but then failed to follow through and stopped responding altogether. I ultimately had to escalate the matter through my bank to recover my money.

This kind of behaviour raises serious concerns about the company’s integrity and reliability. Based on my experience, I would caution others to be extremely careful when dealing with this business.

In addition, I noticed that the website claims Cenava (Pty) Ltd is a registered South African retailer, but no registration number is given and I was unable to locate any company by that name on the CIPC database.

Based on my experience, I would strongly advise caution when dealing with this company.
