********* Business Practice and Very Poor Customer Service

I purchased a couch online from @Home recently (22 November); after payment I received an email saying that the order is confirmed and payment was received. Two days later I received another email saying that my order had been cancelled due to a 'glitch in their shopping matrix' and that my refund will be processed in 5 working days. Shortly after this I received another email saying that I first needed to complete a form before my refund could be processed and that the refund would now take 3 - 10 working days. I contacted customer service on the 13th December as I still had not received my refund. I received a response saying that I need to submit a bank statement and a refund will be received in another 5 - 10 working days. I still don't know why the refund has not been processed and no one has even bothered to contact me over the phone to explain the situation. I have had to keep following up from my side. I am still having to cover the cost of the interest on the amount paid due to the refund taking so long. I will definitely caution any one against purchasing from **********

Hello Nanette
 
We are aware that a few of our TFG online shoppers over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday period have had their orders cancelled after they were initially confirmed. We apologise profusely for any disappointment or confusion created. 
 
This issue is the result of the extraordinary volumes of traffic to our site, where multiple shoppers simultaneously click “buy” on a product and there was insufficient stock to fulfil multiple orders. 
 
Where purchases have been cancelled, our shoppers will be reimbursed. 
 
Should our customers have any further queries or concerns, please contact our dedicated customer service personnel on ***   

Your concern has been escalated to the on-line Team and they will contact you directly to advise.

Your reference no. is - RM155650

Thanks

The @home Customer Care Division
