Pathetic Service from Mr Price Home

I went into a Mr Price Home store to purchase everything for my lounge area and due to none of the stores in the area having stock of the desired lounge (left hand corner couch), I was forced to order online...WORST CHOICE I'VE EVER MADE!!!

I ordered various items, from the lounge suite, to 2 occasional chairs, a coffee table, a large rug and pillows for the lounge suite all online on the 28th October , received an order number and the number is debited from my account immediately. On the 31st October I contacted the call centre to find out when I can expect delivery only to find out that they cannot even see my order on the system due to a disconnect on their system which happens quite often. I then give my order number to the sales person and they assist by loading the order. I then repeatedly call them every single day since then to try get an update as they do not deliver on weekends and I need to make the necessary arrangements with work to leave to receive the delivery - no one could give me a date until the 5th November! I only got a date because I expressed my unhappiness with the service I was receiving. She informs me that my order will be delivered on Tuesday 6th November. I explain that I can only receive the delivery from 3:30 on Tuesday and this is noted. On Tuesday at 11am I get a call from my security gate of the complex stating that there is a delivery there for me. I explain that I cannot receive and this was noted with Dawn Wing. The driver tells then he doesn't know if he can come back later and leaves. I then call Dawn Wing and explain the situation to then and arrange that he comes back to deliver that afternoon. At around 4 the driver rocks up and deliver a whole 2 pillows to me!!! I was told that I would be receiving everything I ordered. I then again call your call centre to try get some help and am sent from pilar to post repeatedly without getting any commitment as to when I will my order. I am now told that there is an issue with the warehouse! About 4 different people all promised to get back to me and none of them ever did. The absolute unconcerned attitude with my query was shocking. I eventually get ahold of the lady that promised me that my stock would be delivered and only after me stating that I don't care how, but I need my delivery on Wednesday 6th November. She confirms and on Wednesday, as usual NOTHING HAPPENS! I hear from no one and when I try to get ahold of the lady I am very conveniently being placed on hold for more than 5 minutes at a time until I eventually hang up. I have had enough at this point and go into a Mr Price Store at this point to try get assistance with this matter but even the store manager was unable to get anything out of the *********** Online team. On Thursday I finally manage to ahold of the lady who promised me delivery and told her that I am going to go to Hello Peter and social media with this issue, and then suddenly she tells they can deliver the next day. Again i explain to them that i can only receive the delivery at 4 and surprisingly they got it right this time. Once the guys offloaded everything and were looking like they were ready to leave, I ask them are they not going to assemble everything for me and they say no because I didn't pay for it. They show me the invoice they have and it shows that I didn't pay, when I did order and pay for assembly on my invoice!!! I had to spend my evening assembling items that fill my entire lounge when I paid for this service! My order was late and if I hadn't called them initially God knows when these fools would have actually picked anything up, while I would have been left waiting like an idiot.

I bought so much stuff from Mr Price Home besides the above mentioned products and they have definitely lost a customer in me due to this PATHETIC SERVICE! No one gets back to you or cares to be honest. I am going to go to other social media platforms with this as I would like to save as many other people as possible from this turmoil and huge amounts of wasted airtime and energy. Disgusting!

Reviewer Update
To add insult to injury, Mr Price Home contacts me to let me know that they will be refunding me for the the shipping costs of R350...A WHOLE R350! They can keep that money because that doesn't even cover the airtime spent trying to sort their issues!!! I've never dealt with a more useless and totally unbothered company before! I am now spreading all of this on all of my social media platforms because I can't even believe it!
