Don’t let the 60 month warranty fool you.

28 November 2024: I purchased a Hisense fridge via Takelot and had it delivered to our vacation home for December. 2 December 2024: Delivered by Takelot. 22 December 2024: We opened our fridge with much excitement, only to find a dent on the door, which was quite surprising as the packing was in tact. On the same day I reported it to Takelot and they referred me to Hisense. On the same day I reported it to Hisense. 15 January 2025: I received a response from Hisense, requesting information. I could only supply part of the info as I was back home from our vacation home. 25 January 2025: (10 days later) I received the same request from Hisense and they indicated they cannot open my photos. I responded once again. 27 January 2025: Hisense requested my pictures in PDF format and the number of the ticket I logged (this was all still the same email trail). I responded once again. 18 February 2025: (22 days later) I received a response from Hisense indicating that all dents and scratches should be reported within 7 days from the date of purchase.

So I failed to report my extremely likely factory damaged fridge within 7 days of purchase, but Hisense can take as long as 58 days, ok lets disregard 22 Dec-15 Jan, Hisense can take as long as 34 days to respond to a simple query.

To me, this sounds more of excuses not to provide customer service than anything else.

Don’t let the 60 month warranty fool you.

There is no reference number from Takelot regarding my return request. On the Takelot app it indicates: "Takelot does not facilitate any manufacturer returns, please contact the manufacturer directly for any warranty claims."

I do however have the following Takelot order number: ***

Good day TPN, PLEASE READ MY INITIAL REVIEW. All the dates, with details on for each date are clearly stipulated there to indicated that the customer is strictly held by dates, but Hisense can take forever to respond. My review will only make sense to you if you read everything. Please don't waste my time again by responding with standard terms and conditions - I already received this on email and that is the whole reason for my review. Standard T&C can be provided by AI, I am looking for human customer services where people apply their minds to the situation.
