Bad service and customer relations of Oukitel SA.

I bought an Oukitel WP18 Pro cellphone from Takealot in late May. I took it to our local Chatz store for a simswap to nano sim size. I had the phone in my back pocket. When I got home I took it out of my pocket and noticed the small glass panel around the camera lenses was cracked and that section was very hot. I contacted Oukitel SA and attached a photo. They offered to pick the phone to repair the phone but not under guarantee because I abused the phone. I said this happened before a single phonecall was made. I got nowhere with them so I contacted Takealot and they picked up the phone. I insisted the phone to be replaced. They also said I abused the phone and sent it back to me unnrepaired. I still insist that the phone be repaired free of charge. I think Oukitel SA has no consideration for their customers and do not have the slightest skills to work with customers. I also got no explanation why it get so extremely hot in the area of the cracks. Their service stink Kobus Bender.

Dear Kobus,

We're genuinely sorry to hear about the experience you've had with the Oukitel WP18 Pro cellphone purchased from us. It's disheartening to learn of the issues you faced after the sim swap at the Chatz store.

We sincerely offered assistance with repairs to you in May, but we understand there might have been miscommunication between us regarding your agreement for us to collect the phone for repairs. We regret any inconvenience caused if this process wasn't clear or agreed upon.

As per your telephonic conversation with our customer service manager Mbali today, you agreed that we can arrange collection of your phone.  As soon as your phone reaches our repair centre, we will evaluate the cracks around the camera lenses and the heat issue you noticed and will do our best to find a viable solution for you.

Our aim is always to provide exceptional service and support to our customers, and we're sorry to hear we fell short in meeting your expectations.

Best regards,
Oukitel SA Team
