Poor Recommendation

<p>On the 27th of July (yesterday) i went to the Edgards in Blueroute Mall to look for a replacement cellphone for my wife. we had a budget of R700-R900 for a phone. After browsing through some of the available hand sets i have decided on the Telkom's Booster priced at R899,99. When i was readfy to purchase my phone of choice the sales informed that the Booster is not such a good phone and that he Recommends i take the Mobicel Switch. i thought that since he is the sales rep he should know these things and as such would be making an informed choice with the Mobicel Switch. i then went ahead and ourchased the phone.</p> <p>When we got home and unboxed the phone, we discovered the poor quality thereof. even thoiugh it nhad a 5MP camera, the quality of the pictures that came was as poor as a little R300 phone. </p> <p>The following day (today) i took the phone back to the store to see if it could be replaced with the one that I was originally going to purchase (The Telkom Boost). i was told, by the same sales rep that did the sale of the Mobicel Switch, that the phone will only be replaced as a result of out the box failure and not because "the customer is not happy" with it. I did explain to him that I took the phone as result of his recommendation and that it was not my first choice of phone. I even went as far as to say that i would pay a few Hundred Rands more for a better quality phone. i have used the phone since i have takne it back to the store. </p> <p>i am completely unhappy with this purchase and the service rendered.</p> <p> </p> <p>regards </p> <p> </p> <p>Marlon Higgins</p> <p>Loyal Edgards Customer</p>

Its been almost 5 days since reported the above incident and to date I have not heard anything from the store in question. This saddens me as a loyal customer to that specific store and the Edgars group.
