Non existent service...still waiting for a "back office" to check an order....

I ordered a Breadmaker from Karibaa Order 10007on 22 July 2020 and was told it would arrive between 9-17 August. Having not received information about tracking my order I contacted them on their WhatsApp number on 13 August asking when it would be sent and was told it would be dispatched between 9-17 August. I resent a WhatApp on 17 August and had a message "Hi, let me contact our Back Office Team to check what's causing the delay". On 18 August received a message saying "Hi I have forwarded this to our back office team and they will send you an email regarding this, kindly wait for it" . On 22 August I sent another WhatsApp which was never opened asking "Until When I should wait?" I sent an email on 22 August to which came back with: " We apologise this is taking some time. We will be checking on this with our back office etc..." Email Messages from both Reynan and David at Customer Care. What care!

Reviewer Update
This is the message I received from Johnny in my email promising me Tracking and Shipment details within 24-48 hours received on Monday 7 September at 0957, see below:

Since then I have not received any update or tracking and shipping details as mentioned in the email. The reply to my previous Hellopeter complaint was equally dishonest. Karibaa have never, as they say " sent ...an email and update with the full dispatch and delivery details "
This is seriously dishonest and another example of their bad service. and whitewashing.
No tracking. They cannot repect their own deadlines. Smoke and mirrors.
They should be banned from trading in South Africa

I already track your order and escalate this to our Logistics Team to prioritize the dispatchment of your order.

Hi Vanessa, 

I know how important it is to receive the product you ordered. My goal is to make sure that you will receive your order as soon as possible. After the 24-48 hours time frame I requested last September 7, 2020. I have sent you an email September 8, 2020 that the order is already forwarded for delivery. 

As I promised, I am continuously tracking your order from time to time and  and will make sure to update you right away once the tracking number is available when the courier receive the parcel.

I have sent you an email. Please reply to our email if you have any further questions or clarifications so we can immediately assist.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Jonnie

Hi Vanessa,

We apologize for the delay in our shipment that leads you to request a refund instead.  This is definitely not the experience we want you to have. We have processed the refund to your account for this order.

We will also sent an attachment of the proof of refund in your email for you to check.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Jonnie
