Worst After Sales Service

I have had a very unpleasant experience with Leroy Merlin and I would like to caution and make future customers aware of the kind of service you may experience. It's been the worst after sales service I have ever experienced!

I made an online purchase that was delivered in early September and, to my disappointment, 3 of the items delivered were badly scratched and stained. The other item I received was not as advertised and I was not happy with the quality.

When enquiring about a refund for those particular items, it took me numerous emails to try and get a response, to which no one rep****. I then started calling, several times a day, every day for almost 3 weeks to try and arrange a refund. No one would ever call me back and no one could seem to arrange a simple return of the items. I finally received an answer from Sibongile who advised me that it would cost the company too much money to arrange a collection and return and that I would be fully refunded for my items. I am still awaiting a refund. Without notice, Leroy Merlin arrived at my house to pick up the damaged items and I have still not received any kind of communication on when I can expect a refund.

I spoke with several people including but not all: Sibongile, Dani, Adam, Leratho, Lebohang, Boitumelo, Daniel, Flora, Mondie, Nosipho, and NOT ONE OF THEM could give me a concrete answer on when they could arrange a collection and a full refund.

This entire process has taken more than 6 weeks and is still unresolved! I will never recommend Leroy Merlin to anyone due to the utter lack of care for after sales service and communication with their customers. I am shocked and disappointed to say the least.

We have still not received any refund. It is absolutely shocking how no one can tell us when to expect the refund.

The amount is short of R260. After 2 months of battling to get a refund, you cannot even get that right. Please advise when the additional R260 will be refunded.
