Dion Wired : Builder of Hopes, Crusher of dreams

I am in the market for a new TV, and having subscribed to the DionWired newsletter I was excited to see a great opportunity to purchase a Samsung 65"TV! I tried numerous times to fulfill the deal online with the only error suggesting a website error. Nonetheless I resolved to purchase the deal instore - having asked my manager for special dispensation to leave my desk for a space of time. Upon arriving in store I was directed to the TV and was awestruck at what I thought was a great and fortunate find, but it was not to be. It was an error in the adverti*****t that was not corrected, excepting by a tiny ad on the window which I was directed to, I was told that an email had been sent out, however, I had shown the friendly staff proof that I did not receive it. With them unable to assist I left the store, at which time I received the correction email. Dion Wired your promises of an exceptional deal have left me worse off - in both time and money. Your staff, though, particularly Ernest (at the Woodmead) branch are to be commended - they were professional and kind to a disappointed customer.

Hi  Zeddaean,

Huge apologies for the confusion! Looks like a gremlin ate the right brand and specs.

The correct tv is the LG 55" UHD SMART. Item no: 788227.

I guess this proves that we are only human after all.

Kind Regards

Reviewer Update
Dear Ms Gabriels I think responding to multiple complainants using the same inane tagline "I guess this proves that we are human after all." leaves me less inclined to believe that. Working in a field that affords some exposure to robotised automation and AI applications suggests to me that: 1. Dion Wired don't care enough to address customers concerns in a direct manner 2. The chat bot that may have been employed to fulfill the communication here is very basic and simple - which does not align with the profile suggested by your stores 3. You are not interested in the lifeblood of your business (at least at a corporate level) Thanks for clearing that up, and, also nothing.

Hi Zeddaean,

Thank you for taking my call. 

With regards to our telephonic conversation, I do appreciate your feedback and the concerns you pointed out. 

These type of errors are being looked into. 

Unfortunately we cannot honor the price at R8999.00 as it was an error in yesterdays communicator. We did send out a formal apology for the error and supp**** the correct detail for the LG 55” UHD TV.

All the best in your new home. 

Kind Regards

Suhayfa Gabriels
