Bad service from Flight centre

I have had the worst service ever, I had to return from New Zealand to SA on the 17th of March 2020. They could not change my flight date or issue a refund. I had to urgently buy another ticket through Qantas to get back to South Africa. Since the 17th of March I have done over 10 follow up and I am yet to get my refund on my return flight. My last call to Zoe Thring was so rude to me. She promised in July that my refund will be paid the 2nd week in August when I followed up I was ignored. When I called I was treated with disrespect. More promises were made and hopefully by the end of the week I will get my refund. It is clear that between Zoe and Selephi they really don't know much about customer service. How do you wait 5 -6 Months to process a refund.

Dear Neels B 

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand that this has been a frustrating process and we would never want that for any customer experience. 

During this unprecedented time, refunds and the refunds processing time from the relevant airlines have been greatly affected and regrettably at times, can take up to 6 months. In saying that we will always want to treat every interaction with the respect it deserves and we apologise that this had not been your experience. 

Our Customer Experience team will be looking into the matter and will be in contact with you directly.

Reviewer Update
Dear Emily thank you for your reply, I can appreciate the fact that there are delays due to Covid-19. But when promises and commitments are made and not kept is where the service delivery fails. I was understanding and reasonable. But if you say the 2nd week of August then that is what it should be not ignoring the follow ups and not more delays and empty promises.
