Matrix Warehouse Computers Springfield refuse to refund me and insist that the old product they sold me this year March 2019 is not theirs, a bunch of ******!

I am a customer for many years at Matrix Warehouse Computers based in Springfield. This year in March 2019, I had purchased a Kapersky Anti Virus from Dillion and loaded it onto my one device my laptop. My laptop crashed, my hard disk was replaced and I attempted to reload Kaspersky but I could not. I contacted Kaspersky direct and they had informed me that Matrix is a third party supplier and I need to approach them for a refund. I just went to Matrix Springfield now explaining my situation and they wanted to charge me to check, this was a black gentleman that was in the technical department that stood on the floor, I refused to be charged for something that is not my problem, then they said they would check free of charge. I am a I.T. user graduate and I am well aware of how to handle a laptop with care and to keep my software organized. I showed them the product and my slip, they refused to accept that this was there product yet this was the product they sold to me in March 2019. I spoke to a white gentleman in the technical department who asked me why did I not list my device and licence on kaspersky, I was not told to do so. He also told me this can't be there product as it is very old. They still said no we will help you but denying that this is not their product, he just frustrated me more. They made me look like I am *********** and that I am a dishonest person. They were doing all this just to avoid refunding me. I have never been so applauded in my entire life, they are ****** and making me look as if their product not working was my fault. He made it look that maybe I had put this licence on many devices when I just have one laptop. I still had 200 activation days when my hard disk crashed. I don't think it is my issue if the product did not reload and if they were *********** enough to sell me an old product, I told him he needs to train his sales staff to sell the correct product to customers and not make that my problem. All I wanted was a refund! I am totally disgusted with Matrix Springfield, they are all ****** and not trustworthy! I am going to tell all my friends and even inform the media not to go to Matrix Springfield. I did not want to speak to them further I was very angry and left as they still insist their old product they sold to me is not theirs. As far as I am concerned they are all ****** with no manners and no customer care s****s at Matrix Springfield, you need to get new honest staff there please who will sell will not sell old products to customers. All I want is a refund for an old product they sold to me!

I have sorted the above issue finally myself. The reason for the above review was to get my refund, but now that won't be required. I have asked Hellopeter to please delete the above review. Thank you.

I can't seem to write another review so here it goes. I am a customer at Matrix Warehouse Computer Springfield for many years now. I purchased software from Dillion a very nice chap and I think he needs a promotion for his customer service. I had an issue where it was not accepting and I needed assistance. But instead I was treated like a ******** by your technical team. Dillion had confirmed I am a regular customer there but still I was treated as if I was illerate and a rogue. I was extremely upset during this process, I queried with kaspersky support and they said that Matrix is third party and if the software was still an issue they should refund me. I even had an incident number which the white gentleman saw. He just treated me as if I was stupid and essentially they refused to assist me. The black lady at the technical counter were very rude to my mum and refused to greet her. Is this the calibre of staff you have? Have they not been trained in customer service. At this point I was fuming as I was constantly being labelled a ******** and quite I.T. illerate as the white gentleman asked me a list of stupid qs just to prove yes I am lying when I truely had a legitimate problem. The white gentlemen seemed to be quite shocked that I really had an incident number and that I was a B. Com (Supply chain and I.T.) graduate. At this point I was so mad that they treated me like a rogue, I packed up and left. I was able to resolve my issue myself and I will never shop at Matrix Warehouse Computer Springfield and I will never recommend them families and friends as they will treat them like *********. As I was exiting the black gentleman and ladies were speaking in Zulu and laughing at me, I found this very unprofessional behaviour and very rude. I had a great relationship with your past technical team there and they were very polite, it is such a pity you have this lot who clearly is chasing away all your customers with their unprofessional behaviour as your store is always empty nowadays. Your technical staff must either be replaced, re-trained about customer service, learn that the customer pays their salary and also learn you treat everyone alike whether they have a degree or not. This incident has really upsetted me and my mum. I was suppose to purchase a new laptop for about R10 000 with software and accessories but now I will take my business elsewhere to staff that know how to treat the customer with a little bit of respect and not treat them as if they are *********. Thank you.
