KARIBAA you should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!

Wow.. where to begin. I placed an order on the 24th of July 2020 for R2800, paid got all the emails from them with my invoice and order number. On the 27th I get an email with ETA saying my order will be dispatched be in the week of 12-19 August. This irked me already as this is a product stated as in stock!!!! On the 8th Aug I get a courierIT tracking number with an email from Karibaa. Up until the 11th the order was not even picked up from them. I had to call the courier company and they made a new note to pick up the parcel as there was nothing reflecting on the JHb Courier IT database. On the 14th I get an out for delivery notification. When I did receive the item, it was THE WRONG ONE. They sent me a much cheaper one and I am still sitting with it, despite all the emails to them. I have so many mixed messages from Julianna online and Reynan on email. They are still waiting for a response from their collection team!!!! People who order from overseas get more joy than ordering from Karibaa. The cellphone number is a dud. There is no landline. Manicaa is also them. How do they getaway messing people around like this?? A child didn't receive their birthday gift because a company based in SA with product stated as in stock takes weeks to deliver..and when they do, they send the wrong item. Shame on you Karibaa. If this is your idea of giving my order top priority, it is pathetic. 7 days max for a nationwide delivery..not so many weeks. Where is the collection team based that 2+ weeks after sending a picture of the item received, they still have not RECTIFIED their 'error'!?!?!??

Dear Jonnie
I rep**** to an email as I need clarification on the order number sent with the pdf waybill. And surety as well, maybe pictures of the item being sent. The item I have will not be released if this is botched up again. Please check on that order number.
Thank you

Dear Jonnie @Karibaa
I sent the email with the order number for you to check so you can be sure to process the return and replacement correctly to avoid further inconvenience, your words!
So email sent, waiting for a reply.
Guess what happens while I wait for an email??? The courier company calls me from my gate???? TO PICK UP AN ITEM!!!! NO SIMULTANEOUS REPLACEMENT!!!
THE COLLECTION DEPARTMENT WANTS THEIR WRONG ITEM BUT HAS THE AUDACITY TO NOT SEND MY CORRECT ORDER??
This is just getting more and more infuriating!!!

Hi Zaheera,

We apologize for the confusion.
We would like to inform you that the order number 18941 was correct and that is the order number of the courier for collection. Your Karibaa order number is still 10131.

What collection??? Delivery is more important. You want your item, yet beat around the bush for my paid for order??? You will get your item, when the courier man is waiting outside the gate with my order and I must still print out waybills?? Really? Your company must make allowances for this, not me.
Your replies are horrid, as they mean nothing and are just flimsy words

Really, everything is at my expense, I stand to lose. Your company has nothing whatsoever to lose!!! Will Karibaa do a fair swap of the said items as I see you still have 1 item in stock of my actual order, probably the same one from when I placed my initial order!!! OR will I get more joy out of asking for a difference in product refund?? Either a R1 298.00 refund if the item you sent me was priced at R1 502.00 OR R1052.00 refund if it was priced at R1 748.00!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW A.S.A.P
THIS NEEDS TO GET SORTED OUT.

Regards
Zaheera is beyond fed up with Karibaa's nonsense

Its been a while. Would SOMEONE AT KARIBAA REPLY TO ME please with something definite and concrete..NOT THE PATHETIC WAY I HAVE BEEN TREATED. IMAGINE IF I SEND A COURIER COMPANY TO YOU, WOULD YOU SEND MY ORDER THROUGH TO ME??? WHAT A JOKE..
Reynan emailed after I onlined Julianna who blocked me from chatting further, as computerised answers ran out. Imagine blocking a customer who has every right ro demand action to be taken because weeks go by and nothing fruitful comes out of Karibaa!!! UNFRIKKINGPROFESSIONAL!!!!! Julianna is awful!!!
Well, after reading Reynans email, I gathered that my order was only going to be ordered by Karibaa from your overseas hub,what **** is this anyway, after the wrong item was returned to Karibaa??? So I would be left once again, to wait for another month for my original order??? How the hell do you all keep playing with peoples lives and money??
Jonnie I want a refund!!! Do you understand. The difference in price refund paid back into my credit card A.S.A.P and I will sell this toy privately and try to buy the one that I originally ordered. I chose to try and sort this out with Karibaa instead of going the legal route, but I am so sick of this unprofessional back and forth excuses..
