Failure to Fulfill Guarantee

On the 12/12/14 I bought a WAHL Kit at Game Store Jabulani Mall which came with a 1year guarantee.The device began to give me problems in 02/15.I returned it on the 02/03/2015 to Game & they booked it in for repairs.I received a call from Game 2weeks later informing me that I need to pay R275.00 for them to repair the device.I asked them why I should pay for something that is still under guarantee,which I bought for so much & did not even last for 2months.I went back to the store & spoke to Patrick Ntanzi,I explained to him my situation,he mentioned that 2customers went to the store previous day to complain about the same problem & he told me there's nothing they can do if I can't pay that amount as is my responsibility as a customer to make the payment if I want my device to be fixed,I asked him if he's aware of the guarantee terms,he told me that he is fully aware & explained that the guarantee doesn't cover the whole device it only covers the motor.I asked him where is it written because it was the first time I heard about it,nobody explained when I bought the device,I left the device at the store.What annoys me is that Patrick didn't apologise that it might be a factory fault

Hello Mafolaga,

We acknowledge receipt of your complaint with reference *** and apologize for your inconvenience in this matter.

According to the technical report there is nothing wrong with the item except for the blades being blunt and that is not covered under the guarantee. That is why there is a charge.

You left the item in the store and is welcome to collect it at your convenience if you do not want to pay the fee for new blades.

Regards.
