Absolutely terrible service from the ASAP team

Good afternoon

To say that I have received atrocious service from the ASAP team over the past 48 hours is an understatement. It is amazing to me that 2 orders were handled so poorly that I needed to call your customer service call center a total of 8 times! Needless to say, my issues are still not resolved. I have spoken to numerous people who are just incapable of sorting out any issues.

1 - On Saturday, I placed an order for deliver on behalf of my mother to her home address at 13:29 pm. At 15:45 I called into the call center to query this order as there had been no movement on the app. The app stated that the order had been received by the store but was not being packed as yet. This is over 2 hrs since I had initially placed the order only to be told that the order had not been invoiced by the store at yet and a shopper had not been assigned to the order. I then requested for this order to be cancelled. I called back half an hour later as this cancellation had not taken place and was advised that this would be escalated to your "admin" team. Needless to say - the order was only cancelled the next day after the driver attempted to deliver the order to my mother's home after I had explicitly asked for this order to be cancelled. In all my calls - I requested for a manager to call me, which has yet to happen by the way. We then proceeded with the cancellation and the funds were refunded back into my wallet.

2. On Sunday the 26th of April - I then placed another order through the app to make use of the funds that had been refunded into my walled in the hopes that this terrible experience was a 1-time thing. This was obviously not the case - because the harrowing ordeal that proceeded really is 1 for the books! I placed this order at 14:58 and the delivery time I received was for the same day. I then called an hour later to follow up on the order as again - there had been no movement with the order status on the app. I was then again advised that a shopper had not been assigned to the order and the call center will call the store to better understand the delay. In the interim, the delivery time for this order now moves over to the next day. The call center then advises that they cannot get a hold of the store as the number is not available. We asked if they have no other means to contact the store (like calling the store manager directly) and we're advised that they are not provided with a store managers personal information. My partner than had to go and collect this order himself as waiting was proving to be a fruitless exercise and we could get no guarantees from the call center if we were even going to get this order. In one of the multiple calls I made on the 26th I asked for a manager to call me. I was advised that my detailed would be passed on to this manager and he would call - only be to told in a later call that this manager had left for the day without even bothering to call me to better understand where my frustration stemmed from. This is appalling!

It is now an entire day later and we have not received any feedback regarding the refund of the delivery fee. I received an email stating that my delivery refund will be provided using a delivery coupon - I am not agreeable to this as I will no longer be making use of the ASAP service given the incredibly poor service I have received. I would like my delivery fee to be refunded back into my wallet so I can withdraw this and officially end my relationship with you.

I am still waiting for a manager (whose name is Randall) according to your call center to call me to discuss the multiple service failures that have occurred here, and this is yet to happen. I would like a senior manager to call me, as I have had my fill of your call center staff who can't seem to help at all.

Regards Refilwe

Good morning

I need clarity as a matter of urgency - how is it that the service ticket number you have mentioned above has already been closed when my matter is yet to be resolved!!!!!!!?

Is this a joke to you? Do you have absolutely no construct of customer service? I have asked and asked and asked and asked for a manager from your complaints resolution team to contact me telephoncially to discuss the multiple service failures that are still continuing with this matter - and all I get back is dead silence and emails from a customer care advisor who either cannot read or does not know how to follow instructions that well. This is becoming exhauting.

Let me again, state for all of our benefit what is expected in order to resolve this matter:

  • I want my delivery fee refunded into my wallet so I can withdraw this back into my account.
  • Can a SENIOR manager in your complaints resolution department call me.

I am actually amazed that all your responses keep parroting complaints resolution avenues that I have already exhausted and still get absolutely no joy from following!

I need a manager in your complaints resolution team to actually start doing their job to ensure that my issue is resolved.

Regards

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!

Did anyone bother to read my previous response!!!!!!? That service ticket number you keep quoting has been CLOSED!!!!! I received confirmation of same via SMS already.

Why are you conveniently ignoring my request for a manager to CALL ME!!!!?

For the love of God - please stop providing me with these robotic responses and actually do some work to resolve my actual query!!!!!! This is beyond ridiculous!

Why are you not responding to any of the requests I have made in my above response?

For the last time, I WANT A MANAGER IN YOUR COMPLAINTS RESOLUTION TEAM TO CONTACT ME TELEPHONICALLY. Which part of this are you not understanding!!!!!!?????????

I mean, this cannot be customer service. Over 2 hours have passed, and I am yet to receive a call from a manager or a response to my last message. How is service this bad even possible!?

Please explain to me how many times I need to query the refund of a delivery fee that I paid for an order I ended up having to collect because of your apalling service????

This must be a practical joke, because service this bad is just not possible!

Can a manager call me to discuss this matter please. I have now asked for this more times than I wish to count, and I am utterly amazed that this has not been done yet. Surely your managers are not THAT busy! This is honestly ********** and disgusting!
