Shocking service from Mr Price Home

I am utterly frustrated with Mr Price Home. I went in-store during Level 4 lockdown and ordered a shelf for my daughter online to be delivered to Retail Crossing branch. This is already an 18km drive from my house and not just around the corner. I received an email telling me that the item had arrived so I drove another 18km to find it had not indeed been delivered. I went back on 1st June 2020 for the 3rd time (another 18km) and collected the item. Once home we wanted to assemble it, only to find it was damaged. I immediately called the help desk and was asked to send pics and complaint in an email which I did. I have spoken to so many call centre agents who all promise to call me back with feedback. Needless to say it is 16 days later - the item STILL has not been replaced and not once has anyone called me to give me feedback. I have literally called EVERY, SINGLE DAY!!!!! The courier never answers their phone seemingly from what the agent tells me. I found out today that the item was supposed to be delivered on Monday but it wasn't. I eventually told the call centre agent today that if the item isn't delivered today, then I want a full refund. This is terrible service and such a waste of my time, money, airtime and petrol. Get your act together Mr Price Home, this is no way to treat your loyal customers!

After almost 3 weeks waiting for a replacement, the exchange item gets delivered to Retail Crossing Branch. We drive all the way there to find that the replacement is even more damaged than our original. We end up swopping 1 shelf and taking the original back because we find out that if we want a refund, we need to call the call centre again and we all know how well that works.

I share my experience with MRP Home / Mr Price Home fb and I get sent a R100 inconvenience voucher.

Let’s put a value to my inconvenience:
144km (4 return trips to retail crossing) about 15L petrol @ R13.96/L = R209.40
Daily calls to call centre with a minimum wait for answer 15 mins, max 30 mins - my time alone 8 hours wasted on hold at minimum wage of R15.57/h = R125 which is a joke because my time is worth a lot more than minimum wage. I would say that R100 inconvenience voucher is pretty much a slap in the face for what you’ve put me through. There is no value I can put on the stress caused and the disappointment of my 13 year old who cried in store yesterday seeing the state of the exchange item delivered ????????
