*****ed Up Delivery

It is with great sadness that I am writing this review after being a loyal customers with ChromeSA for years and have even written good reviews about them over the years.

I ordered two packages to the value of almost R3000 to be delivered during the lockdown. Order one number 156558 ordered April 26, 2020, Order two number 156710 ordered April 29, 2020.

I emailed ChromeSA on 5 May, 2020 to enquire why it is taking so long, on reply I was informed that Lockdown is the cause and I must be patient by which I just informed them that I will change address due to work if the delivery will take place after Thursday 7 May, 2020.

They gave me the tracking number of only the second parcel and requested for the new address. I gave the new address as well as requested for the tracking number of the first parcel after receiving the second parcel first, of which I informed them on Wednesday 6 May, 2020. I am yet to receive a reply and it is now 12 May, 2020.

I finally received the first package today 12 May, 2020 but it was delivered to the wrong address and the package was not singed for, the driver just dropped the parcel and left. Luckily a lady phoned me because my cellphone number was on the parcel only to find out I need to drive 50Km to pickup the parcel for which I needed to request a Permit from my employer to go and fetch the parcel that was supposed to be delivered at the address I informed ChromeSA of and also RAM that phoned me Yesterday because they went to my previous Address where I informed ChromeSA I will not be after 7 May, 2020.

The inconvenience this caused could have been avoided if only ChromeSA, or rather the person I was in contact over email on ChromeSA's side did their job properly. Interestingly if it was not for the lockdown, I would have gone to the ChromeSA shop myself which is only 10Km from my house. Very Disappointed with this service that was rendered. Would definitely think twice before ordering online from ChromeSA again.

Reason for posting this on Hellopeter is because I have been waiting for a few weeks now on ChromeSA to reply to my emails to sort this out internally but I get nothing from their side, not a reply or anything to see how this situation can be dealt with internally. No response at all!

It is so unfortunate that you use a generic reply to hellopeter reviews with the exact same grammar mistake ‘...to to improve...’. Pathetic service! You don’t attempt to resolve my issue I had with your company just saying sorry even though it cost me money and time to fix your mistake on delivery!! IT WAS DELIVERED TO THE WRONG ADDRESS!! The package was not signed for, driver just left! I AM NEVER PURCHASING A THING FROM YOUR COMPANY AGAIN AND I WILL GO OUT OF MY WAY TO LET PEOPLE KNOW HOW BAD YOUR SERVICE IS!! Seeing as I am a Personal Trainer and a Nutrition Specialist. All my customers and clients I will refer to your competitors!

Looking into your order history we know that your orders were both placed during a very busy time while we had a large influx of orders due to the current specials we had running and it is very unfortunate that we ran into these issues with your orders.

This was also during a very difficult period during lockdown, which was very new to us and we were not prepared with the amount of deliveries we had during the time - our couriers were extremely overwhelmed and this caused major delays with our communication to our customers.

Best regards,

I was not complaining about the delay even though it took long, I was complaining that you delivered a package to the wrong address! It was someone’s goodwill that phoned my number that was on the package, a stranger... and all you can say is sorry?
