Unfair practice by Revibe

I bought a phone advertised as in excellent condition. I received it on the 2nd December and upon opening the parcel the phone was scratched and when I put my SIM card into it, it was carrier locked so it's not operational. I, within 20 minutes of receiving logged a claim on their website. A couple of days later courier phoned me and said he was at my gate, this was the address I had changed and I explained to the courier he was not at the correct address. He said he will get back to me which he never did. My concern grew that the 10 days return policy would expire. By the 6th December I contacted Revibe to please assist by contacting the courier and provide the courier with the correct address, keep in mind there were still 6 days left before the 10 day return policy was to expire.And that's when the emails between Revibe and myself started... emails back and forth. They said to me the claim was cancelled as I hadn't given the phone to the courier but they did not contact the courier with the correct address. More emails back and forth and it went on past the 10 day return policy and because the return period has expired I can no longer return the phone and be refunded. I was well within the period of return. The way this has been handled by Revibe is nothing short of unfair. I hope that people looking to purchase anything from Revibe thoroughly do their homework before purchasing from them.

Hello Yvette,

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and understand why this experience has been upsetting.

We’d like to clarify that both of the claims you raised were accepted. According to DHL’s records, they attempted to contact you twice to complete the pickup; however, the device was not handed over during the scheduled collection window. In addition to pickup, you also had the option to drop the device off at your nearest DHL facility to ensure the return was completed within the return period.

We remain willing to assist you and work toward a resolution, but we do require your cooperation to move forward with the process.

Best regards,
Revibe | Customer Experience Team

DEAR Revibe

I refer you to my emails dated the 24th and 25th where I INFORMED you that the COURIER had in fact NOT contacted me NOR came to the address I provided. Is there proof of them "making" contact with me? Did you inform me that I could drop it off at DHL? I must've missed that communication. Besides I don't see, after all you've been putting me through, why I should run after you to get this resolved?

My question now is what are you going to do to get this resolved once and for all?
