Poor Quality, Poor Maintenance

<p> I bought an expensive leather lounge suite from Rochester in 2007. I expect fair wear and tear (which hasn’t happened, the upholstery is like new), but I don't expect it to collapse. I enquired from their Northgate branch what maintenance they could offer. The reply promised the same day has now arrived after six days and I quote their email</p> <p> </p> <p>“</p> <p>I just got a email from my service team and they want to send someone out to have a look than he can make quote for us. If they come to your house they will charge a fee of R995 and that is not including the fee for the quote.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you happy than we can arrange ? Please let me know.”</p> <p> </p> <p>So, I have let them know. I object to being stiffed for a grand then an unspecified fee for a quote leading to an unknown repair cost, especially since I explained to them exactly what was wrong (one spring broken and one spring detached).</p>

Thank you for bringing your complaint to our attention.

The R995 is a set fee for the collection and the return of your suite once it is repaired. This fee is due to the item being out of the warranty period, and the repair cost can only be determined once the supplier has received your suite and inspected it.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards

Rochester management
