POOR SERVICE NOT RECOMMENDABLE!!!!

If I could give a minus 5 star and more I would. Absolutely PATHETIC service!!! The freezer compartment's seal does not seal properly. After lodging a complaint, the technician just pitched at my address, on a Saturday without warning..... I was not at home. I have told him and emailed customer service that I am at work Mondays to Fridays from 6:30 until 6pm and only available on Saturdays and Sundays. I also said in the email to make an appointment (in advance) via email for the technician to come out on a Saturday as that is the only time I am available. Yet I have thousands of missed calls from them during the times I said NOT to call me. When I got home yesterday, I realized that something was wrong and the freezer door was slightly open and all of my frozen items were defrosted. I bought over R3500 worth of meat, vegetables and other products and had to throw it in the bin due to absolute poor F@CKING customer service from Hisense!!!!

I am beyond mad due to stupidity and the lack of communication. Don't people listen or can't they F@CKING READ???????????

Oh MM I did, but you demand I first send you my address as I have since moved???
I have given you a time and date when I am available for a technician to come and sort out the **** product that you make and still had the nerve to say I should give my address first before an appointment via email can be made.

WHAT TYPE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THAT???????

You keep playing for time and keep on playing this yo-you game with me.
