Vodacom pethetic service when bought from their stores

Product bought was defective. Trying to send this back from Dec 2025 it is now 23 March 2026. They all send me from one department to the other becuase the departments can not talk to each other. This is the 3rd time I have a issue. Cancelled products takes forever to be returned for vodabucks back and you as custmer have to follow up every time. Pethetic

Update got the earphones yesterday and it is working. Speed was good this time. Just got my product and nothing else for the mistakes made and christmas present not given and around 4 months lost. Vodabucks and vodapay shops is great at taking money but not at fixing mistakes made by them with a overall disregard for client service as these departments send you from one to the other and nothing gets linked or logged correctly with follow ups. Overall 2 out of 10 for after sales service , but at least fixing the issue. Just sad that a 20 year old customer do not get any perks or premuim assistance just issues.
