Horrible Customer Service

Leroy Merlin has the worst customer service and it is an absolute nightmare communicating with them. I bought an inverter from them earlier this year and it stopped working after a few weeks. I asked that they refund me. After nearly two months of communicating about the refund, they sent another inverter to me which I didn’t immediately use as my husband also had an inverter. This second one stopped working after one day of use. I then contacted them asking them to collect their inverter and process a refund as I previously requested. I was informed that my request would be sent to their finance department but then three days later, with no communication, my ticket was closed. When I followed up, they said they would first need to collect the inverter and I asked them to let me know when this will happen, and there’s been no response.

It happened previously that tickets were closed without being resolved. I had to speak to three different people and despite coming to an agreement about a refund, they sent back yet another defective product. Their turnaround times are around two months which is unacceptable.
