Essential Mouldings Very poor service

What a horrible experience....I ordered online some moulding/skirtings for doors in my new house. As I drive a car I opt for delivery that was R500 on the website. Got a mail thanking me and explaining they have 4 lead days to do the order. From then I have heard nothing.....I hade simpathy because of all the holiday during April...come May I phoned to enquire about my order and was assured it would be delivered ...one week later still no delivery. Phone again and this time was told they did not know it was not delivered and gave me the tracking nr to track it myself. Aramex picket it up in Sandton on the 5th of May and its still at the pickup site....in Sandton. After phoning to complain Louis from Essential Mouldings phoned to let me know that I must pay an extra R1800 in order for Aramex to get someone else to deliver....I refused to pay extra and said that I will rather cancel the order seeing that delivery was calculated in the invoice that I already paid....needless to say, I'm still waiting for any communication from Jacques in connection with this order that was made and paid for on 19April 2022.

Dear Marcia, on behalf of Essential Mouldings I would like to apologise for the experience you had.  Aramex are our couriers of choice and normally when they collect from our dispatch on behalf of our customers it works well and the customers receive their orders timeously.  Unfortunately in this instance, the full courier rate was incorrectly calculated for your outlying area, (Senekal) and the couriers omitted to advise us that they had the package but could not deliver as the delivery fees were not covered.  We have completed your delivery to you and we paid for the additional courier charges ourselves.  We also put procedures in place to avoid similar occurrences in the future with our couriers.
