Truly disappointed in Tevo.

I bought a 11 litre Bennett Read Air Cooler from Pick 'n Pay Hyper, BLOEMFONTEIN, on 24/10/2020. During December 2020 one of the cooler's air swing blades broke, on the inside of the cooler, so I returned it to PnP Hyper, BLOEMFONTEIN, on 23/12/2020 to be fixed. At PnP I was helped promptly but told that if I take the air cooler to Tevo BLOEMFONTEIN myself, it will be fixed quicker, as none of the PnP vehicles are going to Tevo any day soon again. Which I did. I handed in my cooler at Tevo on 24/12/2020 to be told that the technician is on leave & will only back in January 2021. Arriving at Tevo, during the 2nd week of January 2021, I was informed that the replacement part hasn't arrived, that they have ordered. Upon my phone call today, 25/01/2021, I was informed that the technician was on lunch but that they'll phone me once the technician is back from lunch. Two hours later I phoned again, to be transferred to the technician but with no answer at his extension. I ended the call & phoned again for the third time, to be told that the technician was in the bathroom & that the part, still, hasn't arrived. I bought the cooler 3 months ago of which I could only have used it for half of the time. I honestly believe that this not fair, especially when no person keeps you up to date.

I've also tried getting hold of Tevo, trough their website. I clicked on the option to chat with a human being, only to get a reply from Tevo saying that this option is no longer available & that I should talk to the robot.

If humans can't solve my problem, how will a robot solve my problem!

Good day Tevo, to my amazement, I was phoned 30 minutes after I logged the above complaint, by Tevo Bloemfontein, & informed that I can come & collect my fixed cooler. I informed the gentleman that I'll collect it yesterday, as it was already late on Monday when we spoke. The technician told me that he removed the replacement part from another cooler & installed the "new" part in my cooler. I had my doubts, as to why he couldn't have done the same when I brought my cooler to them? Upon arriving home & had a look at the cooler, because the cooler still had dirty marks on it. Upon inspection, I noticed that the part was never replaced, as it was stated to me, but that Tevo only used "super glue" to fix the broken part.

Once again my question to Tevo is: "Why is it taking your company 1 month to "fix" my cooler with super glue, as I could've glued it together with super glue by myself in less than 30 minutes?" If you would like to see prove, send me an email address & I'll forward the photo to you.

On Tuesday, 2/02/2021, JP from Tevo BLOEMFONTEIN, phoned me to say that the correct part for my cooler arrived at this workshop & that he would like to replace the broken part. JP offered to collect the cooler from my house, which would have meant that would've driven around trip of 60km to get my cooler fixed. I declined & dropped the cooler at his workshop on the Wednesday, which is 2km from my office. JP managed to replace the broken part within 5min. My cooler seems to be working fine again. Thanks for your trouble & effort, JP!
