Cushion Fading Less Than 2 Months
I dealt with an unprofessional manager Darren at Coricraft Sandton. I was informed via his staff to read T&C's. He didn't take our immediate call back. Left a message for him & needless to say he didn't bother calling back. I recalled him today to advise their T&C's relate to furniture claims. I purchased cushions and one is fading . I had to argue that this type of claim would not have materialized within 7 days & that it's evident the material is of an inferior quality. Also as per the CPA a defective item can be returned, repair/replacement requested 6 months after purchase. I'm within this since the purchase was made less than 2 months ago on 31st December 2015. Darren thinks it's quite acceptable for a cushion to fade in less than 2 months. In his words things don't last forever. Furthermore he asked I send the CPA to him (but he's the manager in retail). I've begrudgingly been told to go to the branch (again) for an exchange. Quite frankly I don't want to deal with this arrogant, rude, clueless manager and will rather wait for Coricraft Head Office to provide someone that understands a customer's rights, how to treat customers professionally & courteously.
This is certainly not the way that we should handle customer queries, i would expect a Manager to pick up the phone and call. We can't guarantee leathers and fabrics as many factors will influence the longevity of the covering, sunlight or cleaning materials, however we can't simply throw up our hands.
I will get the Regional to give you a call.
Apologies for the shoddy service
