Terrible service from store and HO

A consultant at the Tygervalley store sold my mother an adapter that was not needed after my mother informed her that I already have a charger. She insisted that the charger I have would not work. This is not true. I visited the store to get a refund which they refused to do and told me I need to exchange the item for something in store. I do not want anything from the store, I want the money we spent back as the original Apple adapter is half the price of the one sold to us. The manager refused to come out from the back office to speak to me and the consultant Tyler told me to contact head office. Which I did, only to be told that they can't assist and we need to speak to the store manager. I have not received a response via email yet after informing them that the store manager refused to speak to me. I really don't care if the stores are franchise owned, it is still a Vodacom store. I impatiently await your response.

I still have not received any feedback or a call or anything from you guys. Do you take your complaints seriously or am I wasting my time? I just want my money back so I can buy the actual product that I need from a different store since you guys don't even stock the original apple adapter.

I received a call now and was just told that store policy is no refunds on accessories. This goose chase you guys are sending me on is pathetic.

The consultant that called me says that my mother shouldn't have taken the product. My mother bought the product on the basis on INCORRECT information provided by your store consultant who told my mother that a old Apple charger would not work because the input has changed. This is NOT true. The old charger works completely fine. The new cable just does not fit into the old adapter.

Furthermore, I DO NOT CARE that the adapter sold to me is a higher voltage than the original Apple Adapter. We did not ASK for this and I would like a refund!

My query was escalated to the FSC whatever that means. And I still haven't received any feedback.

Still haven't received any feedback from Vodacom. This was escalated to the store FSC almost two weeks ago and still nothing. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! It seems like your solution to complaints is to ignore it until it goes away... Well this one is definitely not going away! It's even worse now since the product that was sold to me does not even work for it's intended purpose!!!
