R1200-00 voucher if you buy for R1200 or more

I got and SMS advising me if I buy for R1200-00 I will get R1200-00 vouchers bought for over R2000-00 and did not even get 1 cent voucher, the branch advised that the head office will forward me the vouchers, what a laughing matter as they weren't even aware of this so called promotion.

Bad service and no response from Edgars

I opened an account online 10 days ago and till to date i have not had any feed back, i sat at the east Rand mall Branch for more than 3 hours on 3rd November to find i needed bank statements and payslips, that i sent in then.
I then go to another branch to find out what is the states to find out its still pending, i have driven around and phoned out more than a R1000 airtime between head office and the branch to have no joy and to be told its still pending, they say there is a system error....
For such a big company to have this for more than 6 days is not on, how do they make money if they cant even phone or reply to a client about the outcome of there application, all i want is a yes or no.

I have also email my Statements and payslips to about 5 different people at Edgars Carnival mall, East rand Mall, Head office and a manager named Cheryl Singh.

Still no joy, i think this is the worst service ever as been told turn around time is 24 hours but in this case its going 11 days since i applied.

Incompetent staff costs me money

On the 25th of October I received an SMS from jet stating I can get 200 off if I buy for R500. I made my way to jet Mafikeng in Carrington Street. I did all my shopping and when I got to the counter the cashier Kedibone was clueless of my SMS and called her manager Zack who said to me, that I am not the first customer to come with that SMS and they know nothing of them. I asked them what must happen now since I came all the way and the cashier looked at me like I spoke some foreign language (confused) I asked again and Zack said he is going to log and call and has no idea how long it is going to take to get an answer.
I asked Zack what is going to happen he said he has no idea, can u believe a manager who cannot take an initiative to ask for my numbers to call me back he just left me there with the also clueless cashier.
I said to her please take my details so u can call me once this has been solved and she reluctantly took my details which she tossed asside on the counter and I asked myself how will she know or remember to call with a lot of papers on her desk.
I left my things with her showing them the expiration of the special which was the 28th and they just looked at it.
All weekend I received no call from the branch and Monday I called customer care to complain and the consultant told me I would get a call back with on 48 hours with reference number 18102901261/GO I asked who is going to call me she said either they will call or the branch.
Later on Monday I received a call from Jet Mafikeng mall only to find the complaint was sent to the wrong branch and the manager forwarded it to the correct branch.i shortly received a call from the correct beach from a guy who I was unable to write down his name but said he was not there when I was there and Zack would call me the following day which was Tuesday, I was still surprised that if this guy was also the manager why isn't he taking over the complain. Anyway Tuesday came and went and today which is Wednesday 6:58pm I have yet to receive a call from Zack.

What is happening at Jet it seems all the people who work the need training on how to handle such situations. This platform is my last attempt to get help because I was cheated off my R200 off discount and I demand to get help I'm order to resolve this matter. I want my discount,i went to jet with in the given time. Hold your staff accountable.

I will be taking this up with hellopeter if I don't get the correct assistant that I deserved.

Unhappy customer

Unethical Sales tactics

Hi,

Today (27/10/2018) I went to check out some concealer and foundation shades at your Black Up counter at Edgars in centurion mall. I was approached by a friendly consultant by the name of Florence. I told her I was looking for concealer and foundation. I did not know my current shade. She asked me to have a seat while she was finishing up with another customer. I assumed she was going to assist me with finding the right shade for my skin tone.

Whilst waiting another consultant removed my existing make up (without asking me first if it was ok), as instructed by Florence. Once she was done with the other lady Florence proceed to apply foundation not before taking a picture of me yet again without my permission. She said that was to prove she is working which I found a strange practice by Black Opal. She went on to give me a "make over'' without asking if I wanted one or even telling me that I would either need to buy the foundation or pay a fee of R350 for this "make over". Which in my opinion was just mediocre, every day make up.Which I did not even love. I removed some make up with a tissue whilst still in the store.

Before I was able to have a look at my face she asked if I am only taking the foundation. I said that I do not normally buy foundation immediately after a trial. I take a day to see if the shade suites me. She told my sister I have to buy something whilst I was looking in the mirror. She gave me an ultimatum of you either buy something or you pay a fee of R350 for the "make over" which I found ridiculous as I was just doing grocery shopping and then going home.

I am a fan of Black Up products and now I am just annoyed and disgusted by the unethical sales practices a member of your staff took today. I am an entrepreneur myself and I cannot imagine any of my staff displaying such forceful tactics to make a sale at risk of my company's reputation. Totally Unacceptable! I am not sure if this kind of sly behavior is part of their training, if so that needs to change.

I was embarrassed and just bought any product just to get out of the store. As she made me feel like a thief in front of other customers. I had every intention of purchasing the foundation the next day, if I was satisfied but unfortunately I did not have that choice.

I have never experienced such treatment at a cosmetic counter before. I am not the type of person to complain easily and I do not want to post this on Facebook. However If this matter is not handled correctly I will have to escalate it further.

I look forward to your reply.

Kind Regards,
Telishia Pillay

Cashier with attitude

I was at the POS waiting in the queue and the cahier by the name of Mbalenhle Makhathini in jet mart way street Durban.. had a atinking attitude and she talks too much ,so she then called for the next customer I head to her till point and then she looks at me and calls the next customer again. When I told her I'm already here she tells me I'm not standing there I'm here.. I asked how am I supposed to know where to stand as a customer as I am not a jet employees, this is how she responded" How is that my problem you should have seen that this is where I'm cashing" she kept going on and on talking saying shes not left handed. That girl talks toouvj and she chats back she was very rude. I then said can I have my purchase please? She wouldn't give it she was holding the package talking none stop I stood there listening to her yelling at me about how I should have stood by her desk.. I'm aouch disappointed that Edcon as a well known company that is very crucial when it comes to its customers they still keeping employees like that. Who can't even apologise and rectify their mistakes. That Mbalenhle girl is so proud and thinks she owns Edcon.. this happened- 16/10/2018 around 9

Long queues, Speedpoint not work and bad attitude from cashier.

Jet Southgate had two 3 cashiers working on Month end. After 15 min of waiting someone shouts out that the speed points are not working. Meaning they want cash only.

I get to the till the cashier asks again if I have cash. I was mad at this point. I’m like did you not just shout at your customers that after 20min of standing you only take cash. You asking again. I’m telling you this Lady was so rude to me. She says I look unhappy and angry. I said to her please don’t telling me about me. Instead of keeping quite she goes on and on. If you behind the counter you most defenity don’t argue with a customer. No manager or supervisor onsite for me to express how I feel about this store. Nkosinathi Mathebula girl you don’t know what good customer service is.

Long queues, Speedpoint not work and bad attitude from cashier.

Poor Customer Service

I received an sms saying I can do an extended card in my account for family which I did at Jet Ellof and kerk in Johannesburg.

Few weeks later I went to purchase with my jet main account to my surprised the account was blocked with no reason.

last months I went to Jet Centurion where I purchase with my extended card with the assistance of Charlotte. I went again to jet Centurion where I was shocked to made aware that I will not be allowed to purchase by the same Charlotte.

I am not sure if there is a policy of staff do as they wish because I would have not been allowed to buy from the onset.

I have a card that is blocked for no reason, I have a shop that is not consistent.

please see this and assist.

Fruadulant Account

Reference: 25230618 OR 700010010022532930//EDGARS

We discovered in 2017 that an account was opened somewhere in Johannesburg in my husbands name - we reside in Montagu, Western Cape - my husband has never been to JHB in his life - he has also never had an Edgars Account - we contacted the Attorneys who informed us at the time - VVM Attorneys, and went to our nearest Edgars Branch which is Worcestor Mountain Mill - 89km from us. We took affidavits with, proof of signature, documents we received from attorneys to fill in, we did all we could, because my husband was now blacklisted and we have a daughter going to University - the student loan was rejected due to this blacklisting in 2017. After numerous emails to VVM Attorneys, calls to Edgars all went silent, my husbands name was removed from blacklisting, and now today - 25 June 2018 this whole matter pops up again!!! My husband is blacklisted Again for the same account we thought was sorted out.! can someone please communicate with us and help us to sort this out - in the meantime i want my husbands blacklisting lifted Immediately or we will have to call in our own legal team to sort out this matter, and claim for damages and costs incurred.
i can be contacted in 0609670181 or [email protected]

Deductions plans, I did not agree to them

I am not happy with my Edcon account.

I have noticed the 2 deductions that I am not aware of, FAMILY PROVIDER PKAN, and LEGAL PLAN. The deductions has been going on for months and I only noticed this month when I opened my emailed statements. I confronted accounts people and they only said the plans has now being cancelled.

I asked for the copy if the agreements or recordings of those plans and sales people who approved them and they did not respond.

I also asked if the money they included on statements all along without my consent is going to be refunded and they also kept quiet.

I am asking if is okay to add plans on someone without their consent. I believe whoever did it has benefited on my expense and I am now suffering online for things I did not know.

I want all my money back from previous deductions. Is not worth it keeping the account active. Cos you try and pay your account, you are adding more things that keeps us on going back to debts.

RUDE CUSTOMER CARE STAFF

Speaking to Customer Complains department is very frustrating. A female employee called me with regards to my complain on 31 May 2018. She was absolutely rude and did not give me a chance to speak and explain my story to her. I eventually managed to speak and before i could complete the conversation she put the phone down in my ear. I cannot understand how customer care staff behave in this manner and are supposed to be there to service their customers...DISAPPOINTED in such behaviour..
