Rentokil does not value residential customers

I booked a residential fumigation service from Rentokil. I paid R1003.00 before service can be provided.I was given an appointment for 15:00 Monday the 15th June. I arranged well to make it to the appointment. On the day of the appointment i get a call @ 14:20 from the guard house that Rentokil is at the house. I tell the guards to let them in and wait for me, and that i was leaving the office immediately. I drove like a maniac to get to my house @ 14:40, only to find that they had left. In this whole scenario, no one from Rentokil called me. i decided to call Lloyd who told me to wait till 16:30. I waited, no one came, no one called. The next day I expect a call for an apology or rescheduling but i received no call, instead an invoice claiming that service was rendered. I then saw that my business was not valued. I called them to request a refund. Naydia responded to my e-mail without even greeting me informing tht i should supply my bank statement for a payment that would be made in up to 2 weeks. On Tuesday i finally sent them my bank statement. I did not get an acknowledgement of receipt from them until i had to send them another email today. Appalling service indeed.

Hello maketeom,

Dear Omphile

I'm incredibly disappointed to hear that the service you paid for was not carried out at the time you booked, and that when you requested a refund it was handled badly. This is certainly not the level of service that we strive for, regardless of whether you are a residential or commercial customer.

I shall make contact with the branch manager in JHB today and ask him to investigate, and then give you a call to explain what went wrong. I shall also follow up on the status of your refund.

Kind regards,
Nathalie Leblond
