POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE & AFTER CARE SERVICE

I purchased a Fitbit charge 3 watch in December 2018. It is now just over its warranty . When I went to Langa Mall in Nelspruit the sales lady informed me that she cannot assist me. They are only dealing with item that is still in warranty. I told her that I will pay for the repairs as I don’t get a place who can repair the watch. I paid a lot of money for the watch and cannot pay every 2 years for a new watch. This email was sent on 28.01.2021 They rep**** to me on 2021.02.01 where I must submit additional information which I did. However till today I received no feedback. when the watch broke while it was still under guarantee it was fixed by Totalsports but now that it is out of warranty to they do not want to assist. I feel that this is unacceptable.

Good morning Jan, thank you for the feedback. The repairs policy for brands like Fitbit are not set by Totalsports, but by the brand. Could you provide feedback on the email response that was provided to you by the Customer Services team & the reference number they provided to you?
