Worst service by Mpho Game southgate

I had the worst experience with Game Southgate. My sister bought a Bennett Read 28l microwave on the 1st of July 2023.Within a period of two months the microwave was no longer functional, it was not warming the food. I returned the item back at Game around October 2023 and was told they will book it in for repairs (how do you repairs something that is still new).It was repaired and I was called to collect it around beginning of November 2023. On the 10th of December the problem started all over again. I went back to the store on the 13th of December with their product and spoke with Xoli who advised that they will refund me within 24 hours. I asked for a new microwave on the same day and she called her manager by the name of Mpho ( fat and short lady) who told me she will ask for refund on my behalf and rudely said Game did not invite me to come buy at their store as I was asking for a new microwave. She went on to say I must google the terms and conditions of 1evo product or call them so that they can refund me. To this day I have not heard anything from Game( Xoli and Mpho). I just want game to give me my money Ill go where they value their customers since Game Southgate branch don't.

I wonder when will my issue be resolved because to this day I have not heard any word from Game Southgate mall. This proves that Game doesn't value their customers AT ALL. All I am asking for is my refund since your Bennett Read product failed me twice in 5months.

I had to experience the worst horrible festive season without a microwave because Game Southgate doesn't want to give me my refund, All they do is make empty promises, I am not asking for too much from Game, I'm asking for my refund. Ivan said they are waiting for the regional manager to authorize my refund, whos is probably on holiday somewhere and doesn't care about customers queries because I have been waiting for the refund from the 13th of December 2024 to today the 2nd of January 2024.I regret going to Game Southgate mall.

Hi Kelebogile, regrettably, this is the process that needs to be followed. The manager is waiting on a response from the regional manager as well as the supplier.

Buying products at Game store is a problem because when their products are faulty and you request a refund they refuse with your money. To this day they don't want to refund me my R2128 for the Bennett Read 28L microwave that has been repaired twice in a period of 4months.Game Southgate mall sell faulty product and violates customers rights as they sell faulty products to innocent client.

Hi Kelebogile, the complaints team have been in touch with you after consulting with the branch and regional manager for Tevo. Only the manufacturer can pass a credit, and this will only be done if the item it irreparable. You were advised your item is ready for collection at the store.

Unfortunately, I could not rate your service Game store relating to the email I received from you Suhaya Gabriels and Irfaan. I am still not happy because I don't have my refund and my microwave. Game has my refund which I have been asking for since the 13th of December 2023 to this date and has kept the microwave as well which I stated that I do not want even after repairs since their repairs only last two weeks then the product goes back to the same condition. Can I please have my refund game and Benette read.

Hi Kelebogile, Thank you for your feedback. I only repeated what was advised by the complaints team. You've been notified that the microwave was repaired and for you to collect the item. Only if it's irreparable, will the supplier credit an item.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Hello Peter and Ombudsman for assisting us (myself and my sister) with this matter. My sister finally got her refund.
