No communication when Sweepstar could not come in and cancelation fee charged

To say that I am disappointed would be an understatement. I signed up on the app. Then I booked for someone to come clean my house. On that day of the appointment, I waited and waited but nothing. I send through an email asking about what had happened to the person who was supposed to come. I was told that they had come and turned back because I didn't come to open. I didn't go to open because I didn't know they had arrived because they didn't call. I did not have their contact details to call and find out what why they were delayed. I can't even prove that they indeed did pitch. Since they had my house number, they could have even asked other people who come in and out to call me or something. A few hours later when I checked my email I saw that the appointment had been canceled and I had been charged for that. I tried to find out what had transpired, they just said it's sad that this has happened this way but there is nothing they can do. I am not going to use SweepSouth's services again. They said I should have included my contact information so that they could call if needed. I did not recall being asked for my contact information for contact just in case there is a problem with the appointment. So in the end I lost my money and my time was wasted that I should have allocated to something else instead of waiting at home for nothing. This was the first and the last time for me to use their services

Hello Simangele, 

Thank you for your review. 

We are bitterly disappointed to read about your letdown, especially since this is your first experience with our service. We are terribly sorry that this was not the case in your experience. 

We sincerely apologise for the lack of support that you have received as this is not the service that we aim to provide to our clients. 

We encourage our clients to add their contact details on their SweepSouth accounts should the SweepStar, or Support Team need to contact you for any given reason so that there is no lack of communication between the parties involved. 

When you create a booking which is then confirmed, our SweepStar prepares herself for the booking investing both her time and resources to ensure she is able to execute her work for the day. SweepStars are independently contracted with SweepSouth and they rely on day-to-day bookings. Missing a booking does mean the SweepStar loses her earnings for the day and as such the late cancellation fee is charged to compensate the SweepStar's loss of work for the day as well as any transport costs incurred. We have an incredibly strict policy around this and unfortunately are not in a position to be able to reverse any cancellation fees. 

We would like to look into this matter further, kindly provide us with your email address or booking reference number. 

Once again we are terribly sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

SweepSouth
