Buying from this store is a nightmare

My Name is Simphiwe, I have been reading a lot of stories similar to mine on this platform. I bought furniture from these people for R12000,I bought a Luther couch 3 seater and 2 Stella dining chairs on the 2 May 2019, and to my disappointment I have not received them till today. Every week I have to call them to ask for feedback but I am the client and I have to chase after them. Last week they informed me the couch and chairs should be arriving later on this week which ends on the 19th. I have just calle Andiswa Sofisa and she is advising that the order is pushed back again and will be arriving on the 26th of July. My first question was why hadn’t I been informed about the changes. She answered and said unfortunately there’s nothing she can do for me at this moment. I have never experienced such bad service from an organization where I have paid the full price to get a service and nothing from their side. My question was, my money has been sitting in their account for almost 3months and gaining interest but all they can say is they can’t do anything for me at this moment and I must just deal with it. The funny thing is, their website never informs you that they don’t have stock when purchasing from their website, you only learn this after payment has been made and you are waiting for your order. Whatever you DO NOT BUY from this establishment. The online store is run poorly. Such a shame.

Hi Simphiwe,

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for any inconvenience and lapse of service on our part.

We have unfortunately been struggling with the arrival dates of products being pushed to later dates due to the berthing delays. These delays were caused by an ******* industrial action in the form of a go-slow in some of the ports in South Africa. I am however happy to confirm that all seems to be back to normal within the ports and we have therefore been able to return to normal deliveries without any delays.

It is clear however that the ******* strike was not communicated to you by your sales consultant and we will investigate your case to see why this has happened and take the necessary action to rectify this going forward.

I investigated this matter and received confirmation that delivery of all items ordered took place on the 7th of August 2019.

Once again, please accept our sincere apologies and we hope that you are enjoying your Cielo purchase.

 Sincerely,
 
CIELO
