Customer Service a thing of the past

Good day , We bought a fridge during the month of June 2018 at Game stores but via online system. After just a few months the clip of the freezer broke and the shelves are cracked. I made numerous call to the supplier to tell them how bad the quality of the interior is of the fridge. The phone was either engage or got cut off or it just went to voicemail to say they busy.

I contacted Game online - told them that the numbers they gave me is not working. I than had to log a call with Game again where I had to take pictures of the fridge - I sent them a picture of the broken clip and the cracked shelves. I think it was over a week or so a technician came to my house to fix the clip of the freezer. My dad and my son was at home and he told them that they could not replace the shelves because he had the wrong size with him. This was strange to me because I needed to send model number etc.

I only learnt later when I responded to the call I logged with game that the shelves will not be replaced because it is no longer under warranty. Now if Hisense responded to me timeously I would have still be under warranty.

I sent Hisense numerous emails but receive no response and the Game online consultant told me that I need to contact the supplier. I threatened to take the fridge to the nearest Game stores and consultant said that I'm not allowed to bring the fridge back. I was not informed about the warranty previously. I'm not happy with the fridge and want the shelves replaced or my money back. As a customer I purchase a fridge to last me more than a few months.

This weekend the clip of the freezer broke again, I sent the technician a sms to advise that the clip of the freezer is broken. No response again. This morning I sent another email to Game online store regarding the fridge - I did not receive a response as yet. This has been a very frustrating adventure for me both with Game as well as their supplier Hisense who definitely do not know how to treat a customer.

Hi, The technician came and fix the clip of the freezer. I am still not happy because the shelves of the fridge are still cracked. It look like the fridge is about 10 years old with the shelves looking like that. In fact this fridge is not even a year old. I contacted Tammy but she was unavailable. She contacted me a day later to advise that they working on my query. Today its 4 days later but I did not get any reply from Game online or Hisense. I would rather want a refund so that I can purchase something else.

Good day, I did not receive any feedback from Tamlyn Lockman as pomised . I did receive a call from the Bradley guy that ignored my previous emails.He works for Hisense and he choose to ignore the fact that I called in way before my warranty expired. Customers: Please think twice before purchasing any items from Game Online and especially NOT from their supplier Hisense. Customer service is not in their vocabulary. Dissapointed customer Angela Wood

Hi Tammy, My landline is ********** if you are unable to reach me on my cell. This has been a long frustrating journey with Game online and your supplier Hisense. Its been a week and no reply since your last response.

Hi Tammy, Your feedback as promised is still outstanding. Just to inform you that the clip of the freezer has broke once again , so once again the freezer is not closing properly. I WILL BE DROPPING OFF THIS FRIDGE AT THE NEAREST GAME STORE OVER THIS WEEKEND. CUSTOMERS BEWARE : please do not purchase at GAME ONLINE and please do not purchase a HISENSE product as the service and quality is extremely POOR. Angela Wood

Hi Tammy , I'm pleased to inform you that my shelves and the clip of the freezer that was broken for the third time was replaced yesterday by a Hisense repair man. I'm very grateful that it is finally fixed after a few frustrating months. My only concern right now is the clip of that freezer - how long will this last before it breaks again as this is the the third time it is being replaced. Previously meat and goods that were in the freezer had to be thrown away and I cannot afford another incident like that again. Regards, Angela Wood

Tammy , just wanted to inform you that the shelves are cracked again. I think you need to look at the quality of these shelves. The workmanship is just poor. I will suggest that nobody purchase these fridge. Not even a year old and I need to purchase new shelves again. Really a poor purchase. For interest sake, please advised how much does these shelves costs. It can become quite expensive when the customer have to replace these shelves on a regular basis
