Products Missing after booking for repairs! Poor service from Tevo

I bought a bennett read powerup pet 2.0 and experienced issues with the product ( wasn't able to vacuum a 2 bedroom flat that has 1 carpet without it overheating and switching off)

I called the Durban repair centre and was advised to take the unit back to the store as I wanted a refund.

I sent an email to the Gateway branch on the 15/07/26 to which to date gave not received any response.

I took the unit into the branch on the 21/07/26 and explained the issue and requested that I get a refund as I was within 6 months of purchase and did not want a repair done as I'm unhappy with the product quality.

Unit was booked in and I was advised that I will be contacted within 14 days.

Today the 26/08/26 I have not been contacted. I called the repair centre and was told that they don't have the unit there and I should wait for someone to call me.

What pathetic service is this from Tevo? More than a month I am left without a vaccum and to be told that they don't have it! I want a refund. Just give me my money back.

There has been further escalation of the matter to the concept store and its management to investigate and advise on the whereabouts of your vacuum cleaner.

Hi. The Gateway admin confirmed that attempts were made to call you to inform you to collect, but it went to voicemail, and attempts were documented.
