inconvenienced by online shopping

actually, they deserve no stars at all from me today.

these days online shopping is happening daily. this is the worst service I have ever experienced!

I placed an order on Saturday 17th, paid partly with a voucher & the remainder via eft everything went smoothly, the order is being processed for click & collect. now we wait for a notification for ready for collection right?

on Wednesday evening I check the order status. it reads awaiting refund & that the order was returned. so I emailed a query to totalsports to please explain to me what is going on since the order went through & the item is still in stock online, so what seems to be the problem + I received no notifications of this change in the status of my order from them.

1st lady calls me at 8:47, have no idea why my order was cancelled or returned, all payments show on their very very slow system, she will check with her supervisor & get back to me.. never to be heard from since

2nd lady calls me at 10:30, said I was waiting on 1st lady to call me back.

12:18 3rd call, not aware of anyone else already called me, nothing was escalated on the system, I have to repeat the entire incident, she will get back to me.

she calls back with this, they have no idea why my order was canceled or returned & all they can do is to send me a voucher for the voucher I used & refund the eft to my bank & the I can repurchase the item again, which is still in stock

sure this may be a solution for you totalsport, but it is just not good enough!

Hi

I do not really interested to hear your reasons for not being able to deliver.

please see the order number below
ORDER NUMBER - P***

I already located the item in stock at your Adderley street, Cape town branch.

please arrange with Kaya, the shop attendant who helped me over the phone, that I can collect the item there tomorrow, Friday 23 July 2021, since it is already paid for & there is no need for any refunds & delays.
their nr is ***

Thank you

Unfortunately as the order has been cancelled we are not able to have you collect it from the store as the order has been terminated & the refund process has started.

You do understand that I did not request either cancellation or refund?
I was also not asked at any point what I ad the customer would prefer.
At no point did totalsports make any effort to make good on my order.
Its mind boggling that you do not want & are unable to serve a customer ??♀️

We understand your frustration Chrismari. As per the Terms & Conditions of our site (https://www.totalsports.co.za/browse/staticContent.jsp?pageName=termsDetailOnline) that are acknowledged as agreed to by using the site, the following:

Order cancellation by us: We reserve the right to not process an order or to cancel an existing order (partially or completely):

  • If you have gone under debt review before your order is fulfilled;
  • If, on any of our websites or apps, we suspect that you have, or have tried to: abuse the website/app; intercept data; commit *****; hack into our systems; or create multiple user profiles to take advantage of a promotion or other offer intended by us to be used once-off by you. We will also be entitled to blacklist you on our database, delete your profile and suspend or terminate your access to our websites and apps (in which case we accept no liability which may arise); and
  • If there has been an error. Errors include system errors, the goods no longer being available, incorrect price, quantity or description of the goods. We will not be bound by errors and we will inform you of such errors as soon as we become aware of them.

If cancellation of an order is initiated by us, no cancellation fees will be payable. We will refund you the Rand value that you have paid, only if you have already paid for the cancelled order. 

Refunds take 7-10 days to process & the payment is refunded back to the method of payment used. As our Customer Services agent has already advised you, this will be done via a new voucher to replace the voucher used for the transaction & the balance via an EFT back into your bank account.

We're sorry you feel that way Chrismari. Our systems show that the item is not in-stock which is why your order was cancelled. Again, we apologise for the inconvenience this causes & can assure you your refund is currently being processed. Please bear with us the 7-10 days for this to reflect back to your account. Please note, we do not send confirmation, so please check your bank statement for this transaction.

Unfortunately the full amount cannot be put onto a voucher as that was not the method of payment used. As you used a voucher & EFT, that is the manner in which you will be refunded.

What the hell ?
On the 23rd you assured me that my refund is being processed & will take 7-10 days
Its 10 days & I received nothing!

No refund in my bank account & no
replacement voucher for the R250 vitality rewards voucher which I used for the majority of the payments ??♀️

Nobody from totalsports even bothered contact me since the 23rd

This is unacceptable!
