claiming nightmare

My fridge died 2 days ago. I called Discovery, waiting on average 8min to speak to someone and then got cut off during the chat with the consultant as my airtime ran out. I waited to for a call back but they did not bother to call back so I logged the claim online. I called them the following day to follow up and they said they would assign someone to come out and do an inspection/assessment on the fridge. I didn't get a call from anyone regarding this and called again today to see what is going on, wasting more of my airtime. I was told that they will call the company who does the inspections/assessments and they did as I got a call from Chatatech Jhb almost immediately who said they they have 1 person in Cape Town to assist with this and that he can only come tomorrow. My fridge is not cooling at all and all my food is spoiled. If this is how all claiming is handled through a big/respectable company such as Discovery, I should be looking for a new insurer as their service is mediocre.

Thank you for your generic reply. I'm still waiting on that phone call/email from anyone at Discovery to "assist with the concerns as raised."

Wondering how long will this take... "give us the opportunity to remedy the problem".

Had to borrow a bar fridge from a friend so I can have just the essentials cooled.

Hey Discovery. I called you again today to follow up... I was put on hold by your consultant for 10min and the call cut, never received a call back. You are absolutely the worst at customer service. I'm attempting to call you back the 2nd time as I'm writing this note.

I got a call from a lovely lady called Aurellia Ngcobo who assisted me with regards to this matter. Thank you once again for your professionalism and keeping me updated with all the steps. The matter is now resolved.
