Pineapple Claim Processes are a Nightmare

I submitted a claim September 2023 for my cellphone device repairs and to date (18th October 2023), I still do not have any feedback. The Claim process has been tiring and at first it felt like all the requirements I had to comply with were meant to make me give up as a customer as I had to go up and down sourcing quotations and most places required that I paid money upfront in order for them to assess my devices and thereafter provide me with a quote unlike the 1st time I submitted a claim wherein they referred me to 1 of their preferred suppliers and that made the claim process run smoothly.

Today we are sitting on the 18th October 2023 and I still do not have any concrete claim feedback and I keep following up and yet not provided with any feedback timelines except for the fact that the claim is still undergoing validation processes. it has been weeks now and I am now frustrated.

at this rate I recommend that nobody insures any major items with them, All this up and down over a cellphone, Imagine if I had insured something as critical such as a car and had to deal with this. I am extremely annoyed about the service I am getting.

Good Day Thulile

An automated response simply will not help me at this point, I am extremely annoyed with the service I am getting. This matter did not have to escalate this far. The reason I took up the insurance was to make my life easier when facing situations like this one but here we are now.

Today is the 23rd October and I still have not received any feedback or any form of communication from anyone. The service I am getting is highly unacceptable and yet my premiums are going through. I am really frustrated now as I need the cellphone device.
