Blanket Delivery Complaint - PFS59239988

Good afternoon

I would like to submit a complaint for investigation as I placed and paid for an order for delivery on the 27th of May 2020 but to date have not received my delivery, I have been calling home-choice for over 5 days now dating back from the 19th June 2020 and even went to one of the stores in JHB CDB where I discovered that my address was captured incorrectly and that the mistake would be rectified and an email was to be sent to the courier company advising them of the correct delivery address, this was on the 25 of June 2020. This is an order that was communicated to have been dispatched on the 30th of May 2020.

On the 27th of June, I was called by a very rude driver who told me they were at Tembisa and when I told him I was in Soweto and not Tembisa, he wanted to coerce my making arrangements to meet him halfway to which I advice was not possible and requested that he drops off my order at the JHB CBD to which he threatened to know what he will do with my order ( I am now guessing he did whatever he meant hence no delivery has reached my house). The entire experience has been extremely disappointing as I had to be the one calling home-choice to follow up and being assigned a rude driver that doesn’t have any form of telephone etiquette and or general customer engagement skills.

While left in disappointment of the above I then get to learn upon my follow up call on the 3rd of July that my order was delivered on the 30th of June, no one called me from home-choice on the day and I never received the delivery that is said to have been delivered, can I have someone investigate my case and get back to me with a resolution, it is very disappointing that I paid over a month ago and have been taken from pillar to post as a result of an address capturing mistake from your side which I had to be the one fixing but am now told of a delivery I didn’t receive.

Can my matter be attended to with urgency, my order number is on the subject line of easy referencing.

Regards

Fraud

Dear Sir/madam

I placed an order on 12 May 2020.
When I called homechoice this morning I was told that according to the courier my order was delivered and signed for by a person named Innocentia and if you try to contact the number provided it doesn't exist.

I have since received e statement indicating that I should start paying my monthly statement. what makes me believe that this is fraud and both courier (Fast and Furious) and homechoice are involved is that I followed up multiple times with homechoice and courier company regarding this order and I was told my order has been misplaced in the warehouse.

I want my account with homechoice cancelled.

Undelivered order

In Dec 2019 I ordered two blankets and curtains and never received my order. Upon following up a person that I dont know about is said to have signed for it. I was told to fill in an affidavit and state that I didnt receive my parcel and I dont know the person and cell number of the person who signed. Did all that in January and sent to their fraud department up until now no feedback. I have phoned several times and Homechoice number cuts in the middle of the conversation all the time and no one bothers to phone me back. I have sent several emails no responses at all. Homechoice, I paid you in full I need my order asap. Pathetic service!!

Undelivered order

I ordered 2 blankets and curtains Dec 2019 and never received my order. Upon following up someone is said to have signed for it and I dont know the person. I was told in January 2020 that I must write an affidavit stating that I didnt receive the order and the cell number on the account was not mine. Today its July 2020 still no feedback from homechoice when I phone them the phone cuts along the way no one phones me back after that. I am very dissappointed with Homechoice service. Someone please resolve my issue I paid you full amount.

Unprofessionalism and name slander

My name is Anna Letsira, and i am a long standing existing client at Homechoice.

My current compliant has started when I placed an order online with Homechoice , early in March 2020 thinking that I would receive my order within 10 working days of purchase. I received an sms stating that my order was being prepared, and that I should receive it soon. Level 5 lockdown was implemented in South Africa and I then received an SMS that my order was going to delay. I understood under the circumstances. May 2020 was the start of level 4, Homechoice had contacted me regarding the 2 products order, and confirmed details for delivery. I was then informed that my one product was out of stock, and I responded to wait for its availability.
However, with complete disregard Homechoice sent me a statement of account showing funds owed by me. This was bizarre, as I had not received a single product and my previous accounts had been paid up in full. It then said it will investigate the matter, this was unbelievable as its obvious : NO PRODUCT IN MY POSSESSION = NO PAYMENT FROM ME.

I NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE ME UNDERSTAND WHAT AM I PAYING FOR, IF I DO NOT HAVE AN OUTSTANDING BALANCE and I DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THE NEW PRODUCTS IN MY POSSESSION. WORST PART IS THAT, I HAVE NOT EVEN RECEIVED A CALL FROM HOMECHOICE ACKNOWLEDGING MY QUERY.

Instead Homechoice is busy affecting my profile, stating that am in arrears. As I refuse to pay for service, or product I did not receive.

Regards
Anna Letsira

HomeChoice False Marketing

Good day,
My account number is 402242415 and I would like to lodge a complaint about your sales consultant. In 2019 I received a call from a consultant working for HC, she informed me that I qualify for a free gift for being a good loyal HC customer. It made sense to me because I previously bought some items from HC. She then read all the gifts on the list and I was told/allowed to choose one gift. I proceeded to choose a gift I liked which was a (Kenwood Stand Mixer). I was then told that to receive the free gift, I need to order anything I want from HC and it will be delivered together with the gift and to my surprise the free gift (Kenwood stand mixer) I chose and promised was never delivered when my purchased order arrived. All I received was an apron and I was very disappointed. I personally feel robbed, lied to by HC to push up your sales and that false marketing was used by your consultant.

Note that I also wrote a follow up email but I never received a response from Homechoice. I started to receive several calls from HC after I decided to reverse the debit orders so that you can attend to my email/concern but all you do is to debit more money without my consent (the highest you debited was R2243.97 in December 2019). Note that I am so angry because from all the calls you made to me, I kept raising the matter but nothing is/was done to assist me and I feel I am being taken for a fool by HomeChoice. Threatening me with credit bureau will not assist you, you rather attend to my concern first.

Unethical

I have placed an order with Homechoice on the 12 December 2019, I have received a sms stating my order as not been processed due to non payment. I later sent the proof of payment, a manager Lesley as said the payment went into a suspense account, she apologized profusely, she said she will contact me the next day to confirm all in order. She never contact me back. I called the next day to speak to Lesley the consultant said she is busy and will call after 10 a.m, its gone over one week and I still waiting fir her call. I called another team leader, she promised I will get the order; and she will contact me the next day to confrim, STILL NO ORDER. this service is down right pathetic.

No management skills and little interest in the customer.

Wrong invoice

My name is Johanna Thamaga, homechoice customer no. 274350900, I ordered a 22 piece layelle king size which was R4199, the order delivered, but the invoice is R5399, I contacted them several times, I cnt get helped. Only unreliable, rude consultant give empty promises. The first complaint was lodged on the 14th December 2019. The consultant promised that within 48 hours it will b sorted, but nothing promised, one consultant evn tld me to return the package. I evn sent the product screenshot as I used online. Is that how customers r treated, wrong online prices to attract customers, n wn customers orders then prices escalates. That's an emotional blackmail. N if I return, I hv to pay for that n wl b refunded for that. Obviously I cnt do that bcz I wl b suffering to get my money back just like the false invoice which can't b resolved. Is either homechoice come and collect the order or correct invoice is sent. I wnt what I ordered 100% correctly. Attached is the invoice I used to order, surely the person responsible for it is knwn by the homechoice, n she knows wt I ordered n at wt price. I ordered on the 10th n the order was delivered on the 14 December 2019. Y does it hv to take long to rectify the mistake. Am nt responsible for homechoice online advertisements, if the person responsible made a mistake by posting wrong prices for products, customers can't suffer for that. N the rude, incompetent, unreliable consultant who only tlk sense wn taking orders n do wt they like n fails to comply n become so rude as if the customers r wrong. That's nt hw things r done. I want correct invoice or homechoice collect their parcels were they dropped them, wl b waiting for them. I will never contact them for any order my whole life. I promise. It is devastating. I want a respond urgently.

HOMECHOICE Unathorised order

Good morning. My name is Lebohang Mahlo account number: 263350236. I would like to lodge a complaint about one of your sales department consultants, Ms Sadie Lottering at Homechoice.

On Friday the 20th December 2019 i received a call from Sadie Lottering as i had requested a call back regarding my account. She then proceeded to sell me products. I then explained to her that i would like to order a kitchen pack but the one i want is R189x24 and i will just do it online. She insisted that she can do the order for me i don't need to go online. I agreed, so as soon as she was done with the quotation she never told me how much would the monthly installment be, she finalised the order without informing me about the total price until i asked her. I told her to cancel the order because the price was too much for me (+-R800 monthly) and its not the one i am looking for and i will just do the order online. I repeatedly told her not to continue with the order. She then Hesitantly agreed. The next day, only to find out that she never cancel the order, she proceeded in placing the order on my behalf without my authority. I am so disappointed with her conduct, as a result i am terminating my account with Homechoice because of her. I hope this wont happen to other customers.

Regards
Mr Mahlo.

Poor service

Good day Sir/Madam

Tracking order number: PFS55633851

I would like to bring under your attention the poor service I have been receiving from you side.

On the 22nd of October I ordered, online, a 22 pice comforter set and a pair of Grasshopers (which was in stock at the time online, otherwise I could not have ordered it, that was the case when I wanted to order the 32 pice that I wanted and was out of stock) . I enquired about my order and was inform HChoice was out of stock with the 22 pice also and that the order will be delivered within a few days. I enquired again a week after that (this Monday) and was told my order is with despatch and delivery will be done within 14 days from the day depatch recieved the order.

I feel this is really not the way a customer should be treated. Because of your poor planning I have to pay a hole month for something that is not even in my possession for half of the month. The last time I ordered something from you, it took less than a week and now it is almost 3 weeks.

I really would like you to pay attention to this, because no custumer would like to get empty promises or should I say someone telling you, you will be getting you order soon and it is not the case.

Awaiting your reply.

Regards
Ms. Debra Wentzel
