Hifi Corp : Where you buy Penny wise and Pound foolish

Hello readers. New news about hifi corporation. If you are able to refrain from purchasing from this company do so. Their after service assisrance is pathetic. Their staff lie, their managers go back on their word and they cost you double in travelling costs by selling poor quality equipment that breaks within 24 hrs. This said, I had my own bad experience with them. They insist on a 14 day return, try to push repairs to new equipment and cannot supply a new item as they do not make sure of their stock first. They agree to the closest exchange and then try to charge for the difference. This said, one should wonder as to why the Hifi brand that falls under the JD group has such aweful and dishonest service, compared to the rest. Hifi corps motto should be : Our sales prices are the best, because we fool you on the rest.

Reviewer Update
Hello fellow readers. Just a quick update on my service dissatisfaction from this company. It would appear that my complaint was in fact heard by customer care and they forwarded it to the manager. I received a call today from said manager, however no apology was forthcomming. I am aware of the procedure for exchange, this was never the issue. The problem was that once all was said and done, it was the responsibility of the department to make sure that a replacement was in fact in store and available for exchange. It does not help, if corporations have procedures in place when staff are incompetant in actually performing their responsibilities in following such procedures. This is where deception happens, which only leads to angry outbursts and eventually bad revies, which in the case of this brand, seems to be escalating on a daily basis. In my case, I had to carry all extra costs, gave sufficient timeline and still had to walk away with capital loss and no replacement. This could have been avoided if hifi corp had simply looked at the option of performing an interbranch transfer of same laptop and carried the courier costs if stock ordering would have taken more than 8 days to be received in store. Start taking responsibility for your staff's actions Hifi Corp and look to suggestions for better service.
