Horrible returns process!

I bought a Mecer inverter to help my mother in law through load shedding. The inverter arrived on time - but - was faulty. The RETURNS process is **********! Zero communication without me chasing, and at this time i have no idea when (or if) i will receive a replacement. It's a pity because the first part of their service (the original delivery) was good. :((

Status update - still waiting for resolution.
The matter was escalated (as promised) and a very helpful lady has been assisting.
The lady said the process has been delayed as there has been an influx of returns on faulty MECER inverters! (Stay away from MECER inverters).
I have requested a refund as I desperately need power to run my business, and I don't want an inverter I can't trust. I have had to go out and buy another inverter.
Will update here once this is resolved.

Problem resolved :-)
Yesterday I received a refund from FirstShop.
Based on the successful refund, I think I will use FirstShop again in the future.
My advice to FirstShop is - stay away from Mecer products! - faulty Mecer products reflect badly on FirstShop.
