Putrid Store Assistance & Faulty Device

Good day,

I have a very bad experience with the Vodacom store in Canal Walk.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy A03 on prepaid on the 20 February 2022. I opened up the box of the phone and only to find that the fingerprint of the phone is faulty. I called the store numerous times however no answer, I only managed to get hold of them on the 28 February 2022, I then went to the store on the 28 February 2022 and all they could do for me was send the phone away and it would take 7 - 14 days for the phone to return, I asked the consultant and manager if I could leave trade the phone in and get a other phone with a higher value which I will pay the difference however they advised that is not something that they could help me with bearing in mind that I use my phone for work purposes and I have advised the consultant and manager countless times however they could not provide me with another device.

This needs to be fixed ASAP. I did not leave the phone at the store to go for repairs as this will inconvenience me and I bought the cellphone with the intention of using it right away and I did not expect this.

The consultant and manager was not very helpful as they would not understand that this is a emergency that needs to be attended to. I honestly did not expect this kind of treatment and service. I have called this store over 30 times on the 27 February 2022 however no answer.

I need this query to be sorted ASAP as I am still sitting with a phone that has a fingerprint fault.

If this does not get sorted Today then I will email the Vodacom CEO.

Regards,

Dear Vodacom,

Thank you for your response.

Please note that I am not interested in a loan phone, based on my horrible customer experience I require a new phone.

I want the Huawei Nova Y60 and I will pay the difference.

I have tried to contact the store MULTIPLE times even when the phone was still boxed however no answer!!

Giving me a loan phone and taking the other phone is a way of disputing the fact that you are still putting me at a disadvantage. The process is not customer friendly!! This needs to be relooked and amendments needs to be made to the process to give the customer a better experience.

Just because the phone was out of the box when I brought it in to the store you guys cant exchange the phone for a other phone but when the was not properly checked in the warehouse you want to make it my problem to bring in the phone, I am not accepting this.

If this is issue is not fixed ASAP I will email the CEO of Vodacom and this will not be taken lightly when I go that route.

Please solution this and get back to me ASAP.

Regards,
