Unable to apply discount code and bad customer service

Homechoice prides itself with quality products, but the customer service agents are sadly not up to scratch. I wanted to place an order for 3 x 5kg mink blankets, a junior blanket, a baby blanket and perhaps some winter bed sheets, but then I noticed for each blanket it adds R200 for a bag! But when you buy a set (buy 2 get 3) then the 3 bags work out to R200 in total! So I emailed customer support and this is where my 'fun' with Mavuso Ntsizi started. The audacity to tell me the price I see is the price I must pay but not making ANY effort to escalate to a supervisor to deal with me properly. After I sent my reply I received a system generated R250 discount code, because the system noticed I had items in my cart (abandoned cart discount). No matter how I tried I could NOT apply the discount code at checkout, so I wrote back. Mavuso actually said I can't just ask for a 'discount' and then asked for proof of the discount code, and finished off with "n your previous email you did not mention anything about a voucher". What? What a way to deal with your clients guys!
