Outright Lies to Secure a Sale

I recently wrote a review regards my garden vacuum/blower that needs a new bag and when I visited the store I was told that they do not keep spares for their own brand of vacuum/blower, Leroy Merlin rep**** that they would resolve the issue, this is how they went about it, I received an email from a peron advising that they would investigate and reply to me, a day later I got a new email stating that the issue was resolved. This is what took place, I got a call from the Boksburg store asking me for the model number of the blower/vacuum, I told them which one I had and they rep**** that they do not have any spare part for the Sterwins range and that model, they would try other brands/models of blowers/vacuum to see if any of those would fit and call me back. 4 days later and nothing, no call, absolutely nothing. So I purchased this brand and model becuase the in store sales person at the time advised that spare parts are readily available - seems to me that is an outright lie and I now sit with a piece of equipment that is useless and Leroy Merlin seem to think that this is acceptable.

Hi there Gerard, 

 

I trust you are well and thank you for your honest review. 

 

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience we have caused and we have investigated the matter, you are absolutely right we should invest in stocking spare parts for our inhouse brands.

 

In the last email that was sent to you by our contact center agent Thabisile, she spoke to the HOD and they suggested that you bring the item back to the store for a refund due to the fact that we do not have spare parts. 

 

Once again we apologize for the inconvenience. Take care.
