Poor service!

Poor service received from Salom. He never explain the correct procedure after receiving a quote on a watch on Friday afternoon, only to find out it’s sold over the weekend with no communication or whatsoever. I explained to him it’s for insurance purposes and submitted the quote received from him. Got paid out based on the quote, now I need to pay another R30k just because of poor communication/procedures.

Hi Adriaan,We are sorry that this experience left you disappointed.When the quotation was issued, we had not received confirmation that you wished to proceed with the purchase, an instruction to reserve the watch, or a deposit. Your message indicated that you would let us know once you had received feedback from your insurer. As the timing and outcome of that process were unknown, the watch remained available for sale and was subsequently purchased by another customer over the weekend.We do, however, acknowledge that we could have communicated more clearly that a quotation does not reserve an item and that a refundable deposit is required to secure it. We understand how this may have caused confusion.The watch later discussed was a different configuration at a different selling price; the original quoted watch was not repriced. We offered a discount on the available alternative in an effort to assist.We value your feedback and regret that we were unable to supply the original watch. We remain available to help you find a suitable alternative within your approved budget.Kind regards

Reviewer Update
Thanks for the feedback, but I totally disagree.

I explained I need a quote for insurance purposes for me to purchase the watch that was offered to me. In any consumer point of view it is sort off an reserve the fact that there is a specific model number as well as a price.

I got paid out based on the quote. I believe we agree that Solam needed to explained to me the correct procedure the fact that it is an insurance claim.

Yes, discount of R4k was offer, thanks for that, but I now need to pay another R30k in just to be able to buy that specific model again.

It might be small money for you guys, but it is a lot for me.
