Disgraceful Service from Game Online for a Fully Paid Fridge!

I'm extremely disappointed with the terrible service I've been given following my recent purchase on Game's online platform. The Hisense fridge I ordered (order number: ***) was delivered with a severely dented freezer door. Despite filing a complaint and providing all requested documentation, I am appalled by the unacceptable delay in resolving the issue. The excuse provided, claiming Game is awaiting a credit from the supplier, Hisense, before they can arrange for collection and delivery of a new fridge is not justifiable. I've paid in full for the fridge and it is unfair for Game to expect me to bear the consequences of credit approval delays with their supplier. I want to emphasize that I have nothing to do with Game's supplier relationships. I fulfilled my end of the transaction. Furthermore, Game has ample stock of the Hisense fridge in question. Given this, there is no excuse for the delay in facilitating a resolution. They can easily collect the damaged fridge and deliver a new one promptly, sparing me from all this unnecessary inconvenience and anxiety. I demand immediate action to rectify this matter. The inconvenience caused by this delay is huge. The customer should not be penalized for matters that are strictly between Game and their suppliers. I am waiting for a long time for a new fridge to be delivered to me! I insist on an immediate collection and delivery of a new fridge, and I expect Game to prioritize customer satisfaction over internal processes. It's not right to make your customer wait until your supplier passes credit for a damaged item that you delivered GAME! Your customers need their appliances! This type of after sales service with Game Online is grossly unfair!!

I want to clarify that my frustration is not aimed at the consultant handling my case—they're doing their job based on company instructions. The issue highlights a broader problem within Game's system that seems to prioritize internal processes over customer satisfaction. The delays in resolving issues like mine underline the need for a more customer-centric approach. I am now dubious about ever buying from Game Online again!

You also don't allow customers to do returns for goods bought online at their nearest branch! You cannot let paying customers wait until your suppliers have credited you before conduct exchanges! I am now dubious about ever buying from Game Online again!

When?? I am still waiting for someone to get back to me regarding this matter. This is ridiculous. I have paid in full for this fridge online and you delivered a damaged one to me. Now I am battling via phone and email for ages and keep going back and forth and nothing has materialized. Is this how you treat a customer?? I was told on Monday evening that your supplier has put through a pre-credit and up to now nobody has got back to me regarding the collection of the damaged item you've delivered here. Why can't you arrange for collection of the damaged item? You have stock at your Cape Town branches and warehouse. Game was quick to deduct the money from my bank account and this is the service they give.
