MISSING REPAIR AND POOR FEEDBACK

My Daughters iPhone was repaired in December at the Sandton Vodacare. In late January it stopped working and has been taken to Tygervalley to be be repaired.

I have called the store twice in the last 2 weeks, the first time I was told it was at the advance repair center and will be returned to the store shortly, I must phone them. I did not hand the phone to the advance repair center, it was handed in at the store. You phone them and give the customer feedback.

Today 2 weeks later I still have not got feedback on the status of the repair. I called to speak to the Manager - Anin of the store in Tygervalley, the young lady that answered the phone told me she suggested that I call the Customer Service Line, she is busy she cannot talk to me.

What kind of service is this? Where is my phone?

The phone is insured by Vodacom, why is it not fixed or replaced, why am I getting the run around.

This is unacceptable, whist I have to pay for the handset and have had to arrange a loan phone in the meanwhile for my daughter to use.

I would like feedback on the status of the repair. I am not going to chase the phone around the country that is why you have branches.

Vodacom do you intend call me back at some stage, i think I have been more than patient with the really poor service. No phone, no call back, just a lot of SMS's that are going nowhere. When can I expect a call or should I now be talking to the Ombudsman? This is really not the service I expect from a Multi National Organisation.

I have now been waiting for feedback on who is paying for the replacement phone since the repair done in December resulted in the phone not been able to be repaired by your Sandton Repair Center.   this phone was handed in 4 months ago, to Tygervalley.  After been promised that I would get phoned back by close of business on Friday 24/5/20019,  I have still not received the call, I have called 3 times, to be told the person is in George, he has a phone he can call me back as promised.

This is simply unacceptable service!

VC Repairs you did a poor job in December, I have paid the excess for that repair which was faulty within 2 months of the repair.  Why must I pay again?  

Phone handed in at Tygervalley, why am i dealing with Sandton?  Passing the buck and not interested in resolving the problem.  Simply not calling back in not acceptable.

6 weeks since the 1st post - Vodacom clearly does not care.
