Bad experience @home Melrose Arch

Hi

On the 25th of March i purchased over 70k worth of furniture from @home melrose arch, i paid for the furniture on full but was not given a receipt for some issue they were having and was asked to come back the next day to collect it. I had no issue with this until i arrived at the store and had to wait for around an hour for them to try get my receipt. I was then told that they would just email it to me, not sure why this was not done in the first place as it takes me 45 min to get to melrose arch.. Before my delivery took place i saw that the carpet i wanted was not added to my order, i then had to go back to the store again to purchase the carpet and add it to my delivery.

The team that arranged my delivery date and did the delivery were very good. Upon delivery i noticed that my dinning room chairs were not all the same, there were 3 different types. All of them slightly different to each other. I am still waiting for this to be sorted out and i have even told them that they do not have to replace all of the, I will keep the two head chairs different to make it easier for them but this has still not been done.

My general experience with @home has not been a good one but i have still continued to buy from @home during this ordeal and will continue to buy as i still need to finish furnishing my home but please can we have this issue with my dining room chairs sorted out ASAP.

Regards

Reviewer Update
So today is now 16 August (almost 5 months later) and I am still sitting with all different kinds of dinning room chairs that do not match, I have not used these chairs to ensure that they are still in the original condition when they are finally returned. The guys from Melrose Arch have tried to get me 8 of the same chairs in the colour that I purchased but it has not been possible. I have now been given the option to change the colour of my chairs, to a new one that has come out (i still prefer the original chairs that i purchased) but i agreed to have them swapped out just to have this issue resolved and move on. I was called on Monday to arrange delivery for Wednesday 16:00 and was informed that 7 chairs were going to be delivered. I advised that it was supposed to be 8 and the person said they would confirm and get back to me, this did not happen. On Wednesday i messaged the manager of Melrose Arch to confirm wether or not the delivery was still taking place and I received no response. I left work early to be home at 16:00 in case the delivery was still taking place, this did not happen but at 18:00 I was called 5 times by the driver, I informed him that i was no longer at home and it would need to be rescheduled. 3 weeks ago i spent another R 10 000 at @home melrose Arch on accessories but I do not know why I am still supporting this brand because the experience I have had this year has been nothing less than pathetic. The service and products given to your clients should match the prices that you charge!
