Worst service ever

As gift my brother, based in the USA, ordered us (in Knysna) an Ellies trolley inverter, on 11 October. The order was confirmed, as was delivery for Tuesday, 18 October. Only today, 19 October, did a consultant phone me to advise that the item ordered was out of stock. Worse still, she could not offer any explanation as to why the order was confirmed when stock was not available, and why they only picked it up a day after the delivery was supposed to have been made. I have requested that a senior manager contact me, but based on the unprofessional manner of the consultant I am not holding my breath.This is my first encounter with Leroy Merlin, and most definitely my last.

First of all, the order number was supp**** in my original complaint, in the info only the company can see.
Thank you also to your ill-informed consultant who put the phone down in my ear. Kudos also the supposed manager who couldn't explain why you can't keep track of your stock levels, or deliveries, for that matter. A word of warning to any potential shoppers - STAY WELL CLEAR.

Further to my original complaint, still far from being resolved. It took some doing, but eventually Leroy Merlin offered me a different make inverter. I asked that delivery be expedited to make up for their previous mess, but alas. I then had to discover that they delivered the inverter to the billing address, not the delivery address clearly stated on the original order and for which we paid a hefty charge. I pointed this out to the consultant who has been contacting me via Whatsapp (Kat), but he didn't even offer an apology and subsequently muted me. South Africa is not known for excellent customer service but Leroy Merlin must be in the top three of the worst companies.
