Terrible Service

Today our parcel from Vodacom was to be delivered. The driver arrived and would not hand the parcel over as my husband did not have his original ID document with him. He had a copy as well as his driver's licence. The driver told my husband that he could only assist with a proper ID book / card or temporary ID. We then went and stood in the queue at Home Affairs to get the temporary ID document. In the meantime i had received a telephone call from Ram advising that we were to call them back when we got the ID, which I did - after 2pm. The consultant advised that the driver would telephone me after 4pm and still deliver the parcel today. Now, many, many phone calls later, we still sit without the parcel. No one is interested is assisting us and now we are even told that the parcel cannot be delivered on a temporary ID - an official document issued by the Department of Home Affairs! Getting a new ID document from Pretoria takes weeks, and being that it is the end of the year we would be lucky if it arrived before the end of January 2022. So now here we sit, without a phone, because of *********** people. Vodacom has even confirmed telephonically that the driver can use a temporary ID to deliver the phone. Not to mention the attitude of the driver this morning when not wanting to hand over the parcel. I find the attitude of all employees that I have spoken to at Ram today extremely discomforting. They are not interested in assisting anyone and even end the call when you are still busy talking to them. How rude and unprofessional!! Tracking number of the parcel is K***. The parcel that we are waiting is a replacement phone as my phone has been ******, so here i sit now with now phone whatsoever, no way forward or resolution of the matter. This nightmare has taken the whole day of energy and will now just carry on into the new day!

Good day Tracey.

Apologies for the delayed delivery of your parcel and the inconvenience caused in this regard.

The tracking shows that the delivery hub has been arranged to redeliver the parcel tomorrow. Has the spoken to you over the phone today?

Kind regards.

It is not a good day - the parcel did not arrive yesterday and we stayed at home all day because the driver will only give it to my husband. Now several phone calls later we are still waiting for answers as to why the parcel was not delivered and to find out if it will actually be delivered today - we need to make arrangements as it is a busy day for us and we need to make sure my husband is available if and when this parcel eventually arrives. Pathetic service - well, actually, no service!!!!

It's Saturday morning and once again we have had to phone Ram to find out where our parcel is only to be told that the parcel was out for delivery but had not been delivered because the client did not have his ID. Wow we have been home all morning and NO one has been here to deliver any parcel... So I want to know why is the driver telling lies about trying to deliver a parcel which he has not done. This is not service, I have been fighting to get this parcel since Tuesday and every day there is a different story. I don't care what it takes but I will take this matter further and further until the Head Director gets a personal phone call from me. I don't give up.

It would appear that your drivers are making up fictitious stories about clients not having their identity documents when we have been telling ram since Tuesday that we have the correct documents.... heads must roll and staff dismissed for dishonesty.... and I will make it a personal goal of mine that Vodacom never uses ram again for any of their delivers .... I don't care how long it takes.... Even Vodacom has complained about ram. The driver alleges that he was held hostage but he hasn't even come here today
