Disgusting service at Wefix

I am disappointed with the service and experience I'm having with Wefix . I called Samsung on 23rd January as my phone was acting up and still under warranty. Samsung advised me to go to Wefix as this was There preferred partner for repairs .

As per Samsung they install and replace faulty parts with original Samsung parts provided by Samsung.

At we fix I had the opportunity to discuss the issue with a sales agent. I informed the agent that my phone was a very important tool I used for mails, calendar meetings reminders and obviously calls when I'm away from my pc. They assured me that the repair would take 5 days to complete. I handed in the phone with all the necessary documents and received communication stating the job is in for repair.(CWSA329670) 3 days later I received another mail stating awaiting parts( that’s it ,they don’t specify what part or a eta on delivery). The expectation is that you pay R1000 for a phone under warranty ,but you have no clue as to what you will be paying for.

Nevertheless This was the last communication received from Wefix. After the 5 days I mailed and called the store constantly with no response. I eventually ended up going in to the store , the guy at the desk then said it actually takes 10 days for the repair. After 10 days I mailed and called again and obviously no different response. I ended up once again having to go in , the sales guy apologized and said they awaiting parts but he would prioritize job number. I requested a ETA as all previous promises where not kept. He asked his manager and the manager said the parts will be delivered in 2 days but he would call me to confirm.

After two days and no call I visited the store again. The sales person informed me that they are still awaiting parts and cannot provide a eta. I asked who and where are the parts coming from, His answer was Samsung …..

I called Samsung explaining my concern and frustration .(SAMSUNG CALL REF ***) I asked Samsung to please provide me with an eta of the parts being delivered to Wefix . The agent at Samsung response was shocking , She said she cannot advise or give any clarification on the repair or the parts and suggested I go to wefix for answers.

At this point I just gave up, As a customer you are dependent on awaiting feedback with a company that does not value customers , they are unreachable and the telephone by default puts you through to a voice message(for all stores). The waiting period on my repair went from 5 days to 10days to 20 days to a month. To date I have not received my phone but was informed that parts should be delivered by 26th Feb.

Its unfortunate that a company like Samsung would not look at reviews before selecting a partner like we fix. Most reviews are not good at all with majority of customers being unhappy .

I hope never to deal with this awful company again….

Good day Marvin

Thank you for reaching out to us

We're so sorry to hear about the service you have received from us

We have further looked into this for you and we see that your repair was marked as in warranty. Please be advised that in warranty repairs are approved by Samsung and ETA for spares are sent through by them.

As you're an SMC client, you pay a certain amount for the repair as an excess fee of R1000. 

The documents provided by you are sent directly to Samsung for authorization and this is what the store is currently waiting on.

We do apologize that this has not been communicated to you as communication is very important to us

In summary, your device needs to be replaced as Samsung does not have required parts to complete your repair.

weFix is currently awaiting this confirmation and ETA from Samsung.

You are welcome to reach out to them directly

We do apologize for any inconvenience caused. 

Kind Regards

weFix
