Appalling service revived at Makro Alberton

I am appalled by the service I’ve received from Makro Alberton. I have been without my Tv since. 25/02/2025.My TV started to multifunction so I took it to the store since it’s still under warranty. The assistants in the store were very quick to say the TV is cracked however there isn’t a single crack on it. When I asked for an assessment report they said they don’t have one however they know it’s a crack. After a lot of back and forth they finally allegedly would send it to Hisense for an assessment. Last week I revived a call from an Angie claiming the tv is back and it’s a crack when I asked for an assessment report I was told I would need to come to the store to get it when I collect the TV. I then insisted and was told I would receive a call back and was not even asked for my email address. To me surprise on Monday I revived an sms stating my TV has been sent to a repair agent Repair ID : *** which is shocking considering Angie has called the previous Friday stating the assessment is complete . I then when to the store today and was just given a snip of an email that states Hisense does not repair cracked screens however there is no actual report advising of a crack being found on the TV in question.

I am so disappointed in the service I’ve received and till date no one can advise what the actual issue is. Your employee as so dismissive and uninterested in assisting with the issue at hand. Had I know this is the service you give clients I would’ve taken my money elsewhere.

It’s rather disappointing that the feedback Emihle gave me from my negative experience is that I should contact Hisense directly however I purchased the Tv directly with you. It doesn’t make sense that instead of you doing an actual assessment on the faulty device you’ve given me instead I’m being sent from pillar to post.
When I was in store on Thursday Angie advised that they will get an actual technician to come asses the tv with me present so I know the actual feedback and now you’re sending me an email stating I should contact them myself. It’s clear no one knows what they are doing

At this point all I get is apologies and no solutions. If anything when I went to collect my TV after you guys gave me zero feedback. It seems unless I make a complaint nothing. I asked to speak to the manager in the store for clarification and they sent someone else instead. Worst part upon returning home my tv is worse now then when I had left it in your store. I’m seems no one is taking my concern seriously and the only way forward will be to go through the ombudsman because this is unacceptable. I can’t keep coming back to your store about the same thing yet no one can answer my questions or explain what’s going on why the lack of communication about my issue.
