Unfair treatment from Game stores (Vincent)

I bought a circular saw yesterday 25/04/2024 at Game store Vincent (East London) and when I got home I tested it out, upon testing it I found it to be very poor and weak... I then tested it on different board today and found no difference. I realised that I had bought a very bad circular saw and returned it back to game to buy a better brand. Upon returning it wax told that the saw that I bought is meant for domestic use and that it can be only used for an hour. I told the Game employee that I'm no carpenter and I was using it for domestic use and I was cutting boards to fix up my broken kitchen cupboards. He then further told me that they will sent it to the electricians for it to be tested and I will get feedback after that, I told him that I no more want the saw even if what outcome comes from the electricians, I just want to be credited then il add money and buy a better make or stronger circular saw. I made it very clear that I don't want that make of circular saw anymore and also I don't want a refund but just need to be credited and then I go buy another saw in the same store. The gentleman by the name of Bonke Sethu told me that I can't do that. I further requested to speak to his manager and he told me that he is that manager. I requested to speak to someone above him and he rep**** by saying that it will be the storeman manager and he already spoke to him and he said I cant be credited and further more he is unavailable. I am very disappointed at Game Vincent stores and it's the first time I get such bad treatment. I've been buying from game since I was a kid and always received kind and fair treatment.

By the way this guy even said I was Supose to read what kind of circular saw it is before buying and because I did not read then he cannot assist. I mean you can read all you like but if u haven't tested the machine out then you will never realy know and besides that I only needed a saw to cut two boards and I was going to put it away for the next 6months if not more... It's purely for domestic use so I did not need a saw that will be strong enough to stand hours and hours of daily or weekly use. Can I please get assistance on this matter!

Hiu Miles, thank you for getting in touch. I'm sorry the quality of the saw doesn't meet your expectation and that you're unable to return or exchange the item. This is not the quality we pride ourselves on and your query has already been escalated to our complaints team. Rest assured, you will be reverted to as soon as there's feedback from the management team at the store.
