Taking the fall for YOUR wrong information

I called Homemark to enquire more about one of their blender products. One of the questions I needed to know was the wattage of the appliance. The agent enquired from her manager (Charl) and told me it was 700-900 watts. Upon hearing that, I proceeded to order 2. The blenders arrived quickly but when I opened them up, found out they were in fact only 230 watts. I decided I didn't want them anymore and called to arrange a refund. I spoke with Charl and he admitted that he gave the agent the wrong information. When arranging the return of the product however, Homemark insisted that I had to get the product back to them at my own cost. One product was in PE and one in JHB. Alternatively they said they could fetch it at a cost of R120 per appliance. I find this completely unfair and don't see why I should bear the brunt of their mistake. If I received the correct information from the agent in the first place, I would not have ordered the appliances. Even after sending emails to Debra in customer service, nothing was done and I had to return them at my own cost!! Shocking service and highly disapointing. Take ownership for your mistakes!
