Poor service dilivery

Totally disappointed with level of service I received from Canal walk store. Bought a set of ring for myself and my wife. Her set needed resizing. As per the sales lady she was not even sure if we going to be charged or not for resizing. It was on a Sunday Evening when this trauma started. When myself and my wife were told to leave the ring and my ID number and we will be called the following day rergarding the resizing. I called on a Tuesday to confirm confirm as I had no slip with or proof of ring booked for repairs. Had to call in several times to get clarity and for ring to finally get to repairs. Thanks to Thando who has been very helpful and always willing to assist. Received a call stating how much is the quote and I accepted. Waited a week before I called and again was informed that the ring is ready for collection. Took the ring and after one day of utilising the ring the diamonds started to fall, called and asked how can after only one day of usage then the diamonds are falling off. Mg whole frustration is coming from the fact that I could have been told other alternatives of getting what I want than closing a sale rushlily without informing the customer about different alternatives he has. Instead of resizing I could have been given a option of ordering something similar or same ring to ensure that the ring will be able to substain me for a very long time. The ring was booked again for repairs and my wife have not been wearing a ring for almost a month. Spoke with Anthea and she said Canal Walk branch does not have a Branch Manager and she was supposed to call me Saturday as I called the store Friday Last week to get feedback. Have been waiting ever since. Called the store again today and spoke to Judy she also said she would call back shortly. The level of service from this branch is rediculous or I need to reprise by asking who is their target market as I can see no one is willing to service me accordingly. Basic role is to satisfy the need or wants of the clients. I will never refer anyone to shop at Sterns Canal Walk ever again

I have never been disrespected and bul**** like this in my whole life. Sterns do not consider individuals as I regret the first time I put my first step at Canal Walk. On Wednesday the 13 April 2022. I received a call from a very disrespectful person by the name of Michael who never announced himself to me properly. He says that Sterns findings were that the ring was bent and that the reason why the diamonds were falling off. His exact words were that its either the person who was wearing the ring hit a mental surface or a rock to bend the ring and that is the reason why the crystal or diamonds are falling off. I tried to tell explain to him that I’m glad that he mentioned that the ring was bend as it came back looking like that when it came back from repairs meaning no proper check up was done before the ring was given to me. When a huge entity have made a mistake it is very seldom for accountable party to take responsibility and admit that they made a mistake. I would like that the voice record of the person that called me Wednesday to be reviewed as I not happy about the way he was referring to me. Wednesday the 27 April 2022. I would like my ring as my wife is not with a ring for almost a month now after our ****ing. I will not pay for sterns trying to cover up for his employees. Who ever is attending this matter please don’t even bother to call me and all communication must be sent via email. If you are not able to retrieve the record of the call between myself and Michael just say the word I will request that my service provider to furnish me with the record

This is beyond negligence and poor service delivery. Up until today my matter have not been resolved.

I'm surprised of how such a huge entity like TFG handles and resolves complaints from its customers.

This is a second month my wife is without a ring.

It's almost 4 months I paid for my wife ring and Sterns Canal Walk have just confirmed that they not aware of my wife ring who was booked for repairs.

This is beyond poor service delivery not only for Michael and his Canal Walk Team. It goes beyond representing the Brand itself. I am willing to take it up with service agreement of TFG as a whole.

I'm my culture when you have a bride without a ring for more than a week it portrays different meaning to the public.

How could my wife ring goes off the radar with anyone taking notes.

I am waiting for something I'm not sure of and Micheal is very not helpful and his a dead end to my matter. From the day I complaint and up until today his not helpful and proactive.

His not responding to my email and I had visited the site ones he was not on Site. He never called to acknowledge the fact that I was at the store to find out the whereabouts of my wife ring. Had to visit the site and up until today I have not heard from him

STERNS CANAL WALK I NEED MY MARRAIGE RESPECT RESTORED AND TRAET ALL CUSTOMERS THE SAME MANNER. EACH ENTITY HAVE A MISSION STATEMENT.

THIS IS VERY IRRITATING

Sterns I demand that my wife respect to be restored.

Michael continue to ask for documentation of the sale for cash sale. It is five months and my wife dignity have been dented more than anything.

I demand the matter to be resolve ASAP.

I paid for an item and Michael have been storing my ring for five months.

WHAT IS STERNS INPUT REGARDING THE MATTER.
