Pick n Pay - defective packaging on Long Life ****

<p>Please be informed that I have raised a formal complaint utilizing your customer care number ********** 2882. I have spoken to Loraine with reference number ********** 871.</p> <p>The long life 6 pack carton that was purchased at the Pick n Pay Trade Route Mall Lenasia does not conform to quality standards. When the actual lid is opened and the milk is poured out it is also seeping out of the edging of the carton. This is causing allot of wastage and inconvenience whereby I must pour out the entire milk into a container to accumulate what remains.</p> <p>Please arrange to replace these products and provide what corrective and preventive action will be taken.</p> <p>PROD ********** </p> <p>BBO 14/7/17</p> <p>DFL2 11:55:11</p> <p>Bar code: ********** 164294</p> <p> </p>

Please be informed that once again this unacceptable Pick n Pay No-Name brand full cream long-life milk has recurred and was found unsatisfactory.

I was at the Pick n Pay Trade Route Mall –Lenasia on the 09-03-2017, to collect the replacement milk with regards to my complaint logged with Yudeshni Pillay (Food Technologist Dairy) and Jeff at the branch.

Arrangement was made with Jeff – Manager to collect the replacement, however at the time of my arrival at the store he was not available.

None of the other managers knew about this arrangement and when trying to call Jeff it was unsuccessful. I waited more than 30 minutes before a decision was taken to issue me the exchanged milk. (Customer inconvenience)

The quality of this milk taken was found unacceptable when the product was utilized at an offsite function.

The lids couldn’t be opened by hand due to the excessive glue around the rim of the lid as shown in my photographs.

We literally had to cut open the top surface in order to pour out the milk – This is surely appalling!!

I want to be fully compensated for this ordeal and would prefer a quality control check be initiated on these defective packaging of your product.

This complaint will be escalated to the CPA for resolution.

Best before:-
