Terrible customer service and dysfunctional DEFY washing machine from GAME, Northam

<p>I received the worst service ever at Game Store, Northam Branch. I am utterly disappointed.</p> <p>I bought a DEFY top loader machine for my mom in Feb 2015. We only started using it around July as we were still busy with home (bathroom) renovations. In Feb 2016 the machine stopped working and we reported it at the Northam Branch where we purchased it. After reporting it again 2 weeks later, they sent a technician to come fix the machine and it only worked a few times. I went back to the store on a sa****ay in May to report it, the salesman promised he would call the Defy technicians on monday and get back to me. He did not! I went there again the following friday and expressed my unhappiness about the service and their product to the supervisor. He promised he would sort it out on monday. The technician only came on friday and told me that the machine does not have shocks, he must go back to their office and order them.</p> <p>I requested a refund because the machine is still in its first year but has broken down twice. The salesman and his supervisor were not helpful at all and were very rude to me (the customer).</p> <p>I am now sitting with a R4000 washing machine but still hand-washing.</p> <p>Please assist.</p>

Hi,

The store manager called me yesterday morning around 8am. He apologised sincerely (apology accepted) and promised he would call back in an hour or 2 as he needs to get authorisation for credit from DEFY. It's been more than 24 hours now, still NO response.

GAME, exactly what does it take to make a customer happy?

I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

Thank you "Hello Peter" for your assistance with my problem. The technician came on monday and my mother tested the machine on tuesday, it's working fine. We'll see how long it lasts until it breaks down again!

But I will never encourage anyone to buy anything electrical from any Game Store again.
