Utmost disappointment

Good Day

I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE I HAD RECIEVED TODAY FROM YOUR BRANCH IN BELLVILLE CAPE TOWN. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I recently bought a jacket to the value of R799.99, but on my way to work I realised that I actually didn't like the fit and it seemed a bit too big for me. So as soon as I got to work I took it off but couldn't take it back immediately because I didn't have the slip. So today, during me tea break I quickly ran to the store with the jacket in my hand, the slip and the tag.I explained to the cashier what had happened however the manager happened to be standing not too far away so she overheard the conversation. The manager took the jacket and checked every single detail on the jacket. I genuinely did not have a problem with this but I told the cashier I came during my tea break and I'm in a bit of a rush. She then told me her manager has to go to through the item. I still did not have a problem with this. Eventually the manager tells me "I'm sorry I can not take this item back because it smells like perfume".
Never in my life have I heard such an outrageous thing! I'm really frustrated. Does your policy really say that items can not be taken back if they smell like perfume?

I am awaiting your urgent response and I hope this matter will be attended to.

Returned item

I'm very disappointed by the fact that I have received a gift from a friend recently...It was a wallet and bracelet...I wanted to return it for something else...When I get to the tills they refused to take the stuff back as I don't have a reciept...I even asked my friend for the reciept and she doesn't have it...Truworths is the first store that doesn't accept this.. The stuff still has its tags on...get yourlls acts together or you will lose many customers like me...

poor customer service

Good evening

I am very disappointed in your management at truworths in Kimberley in the CBD. I was admitted in hospital on the 4th June 2016 for an emergent operation, so I asked my husband to go to truworths and buy me pj's. I wrote a letter to the store including my id no, my cell phone no. And I signed, because I know that my details hasn't been changed to this day after submitting them a while back to change my status from single to married and change all my particulars, I included my maiden name. When my husband got to the till the cashier called that floor manager and with much attitude the floor manager told my husband that he cannot be helped because of my signiture that differs to the one on my card, my husband tried to explain the current situation and gave them his id to confirm his particulars with me, he thought they would phone me. With must attitude that male floor manager practicality chased my husband off making him out to be a criminal busy with fraud and that infront of all the customers in the store. My husband phoned me after the incident furious with the way he has been treated, so I phoned the store and spoke to the floor manager(male person) and I asked to speak the the store/ regional manager and they told me she is on leave. When I recovered in to the store on the 17th June 2016 and asked for the manager and a female came to me and said there are 2 floor managers, herself and the male floor manager and the male wasn't there. I told her the story and she said she doesn't understand because they usually call the customer to make sure if the customer sent someone to purchase, then she said I must wait she is going to call the regional mananger. Then this lady, I believe to be the regional manager came up to me already knowing the story and telling me defensively that that is how truworths work AND THEY EXPLAIN THIS TO MY HUSBAND NICELY, who is the "WE" that she was speaking of because she was on leave the day of the incident. She also told me that must follow it up with head office... I've been a loyal customer of truworths I never had any problems paying them to be treated with such attitude. This is my number 0742093348

gift exchange

My husband received a shirt as a gift for his birthday. I tried exchanging it for a bigger size today and was told I need a slip. If I asked for money back or something else in its place I would understand that I would need a slip. It is ridiculous to me that they refuse to exchange the shirt for a bigger size(with tag still on) without a slip. Then I get asked does the person have an account that bought the shirt to what I replied, how must I know it was a gift. I am now sitting with an R260 shirt that I can do nothing with. Not a happy customer at all, spending lunchtime at a shopping center is no my idea of fun.

Fasion Delivery-still No item

Dear Recipient

I am appalled by the disservice provided by Truworths. just over a month ago I ordered a dress through your fashion delivery or lack thereof. I waited over 10 days for this item. All the while it being charged to my account both the item and the delivery fee. I was told that because it's outside the expected date of delivery, waivering the delivery cost would be considered, which is still charged to my account. The item eventually arrived and it' incomplete, it comes with a belt but this was not in delivered. I received a call from Truworths Adelley street in CT to say they have my belt, my address is in JHB-where the 1st part of the dress was delivered to.

Today is 23 May I've spoken to Busisiwe; Avashia; Waheed; Pinkie; Sinazo; Buyelwa, whom all have 'escalated' to fashion delivery to no avail. I have been given a managers name Amelia Conrad to speak to but there's no answer to this number.-NO ONE CALLS ME BACK-

I cannot express my level of frustration, Why do I have to be at the receiving end of your incompetence to execute a service you so boldly promote but can't fulfil? I am with an incomplete item and charged for it- surely this can't be right? Worse of all- No one takes accountability for this!!

BROKEN WATCH - FOSSIL

I was given a Fossil watch purchased from Truworths in July 2015. It was leather, after a few weeks the leather turned black. I returned the watch and it was sent away to be replaced by a metal strap instead. This took about 2 months. AND I had to pay R500 to replace the strap. Once I got it back, and after 1 day the watch fell off my arm, the screw came loose. I took it back. They sent it away, AGAIN, supposedly to Cape Town, but it was sent to another city IN ERROR. So this delayed by another month. I got it back this week. Infront of the manager, i shook the watch juggled it around to ensure that the strap was on tight enough. All seemed well. Not even 3 hours later, I was driving home, changing gears and the watch popped off my arm. The screw came loose AGAIN. This watch was given to me in July 2015. It is now April 2016 and I have not been able to wear it. For for my trouble of being without a watch for almost a year, I would like ta replacement Fossil watch of my choice without having to pay in any additional money.
Please contact me to arrange. Cindy: 0761080400

wrongfully charged

The service at Truworths in Stanger is so unprofessional and so unhuman.I wanted to buy a jean that was marked down, when I get to the till I was told the jean is not on sale its only size 38 & size 40 so I should either take those sizes or buy my size for a normal prise.
How can they make a mistake on pricing the clothes and then make it my fault. The Indians that work there are so full of racism, they called a Zulu lady that worked there to explain to me in Zulu that I must buy a bigger size, right infront of me as if I couldn't hear them. I'm a very fluent English speaker, that was just being rude and racist. I would appreciate it if this matter is dealt with as soon as possible. Because its not only me who got this insulted by the people who are supposedly trained to deal with customers.

I would appreciate it if you could also give me a feedback

Truworths Phalaborwa

On Friday 12 Feb 2016, i went to Truworths Phalaborwa Limpopo, took a ginger mary dress on sale R310, to my surprise i was told by the cashier Mahlatse that the price i see on the dress is wrong. It told her that i took the dress because of the price. Her manager came Mr Abna Phokongwana who is so rude and lacks professionalism. He told me straight to my face and said someone made a mistake is either you take it with a R475 or leave it and told me he is not going to talk further and left the cashier. Seriously, what happened to customer service, the manager's approach really? Please do something, talk to him and take him to customer services or something.

EXCHANGE FOR A BIGGER SIZE

My name is Carmen and i'm very disappointed with the serves i got.. On Saturday the 13th of February i bought my mother two skirts at Truworths Kuruman. size 38. As we all know the sizes is not what it is with this new slim fit fashion. She stays in Vryburg so i had to send her the skirts to fit but it appeared that it was to small for her. She asked me to exchange it for a size 40. I went to the store today and to my surprise they couldn't exchange it for me as the price tag was off. I had the tag and it was loose and my slip. The 2 lady who did not had name tags just left me standing at the counter saying that there is nothing they can do and walked away. i was so shocked and disappointed because now i have to leave with these two skirts and i cant do anything with it. I don't have any one who can wear it. Myself is a size 30. What am i going to do with this items. What really upsets me is i saw a'lot of other clothing hanging and they didn't had price tags on, only the slip stapled to the item. Sorry to say this but if this is the case i don't think ill be shopping at this store again.

Pathetic

Firstly i must say your customer service line 021 - 460 2300 really need to get their acts together are saying your call centre is more busy than DSTV. The person that is responsible for doing the buying of mens clothing for both Truworths man and UZZi, i need his or her manager to call me. Their manager and please not them cos if one of the buyers call me i might end up been very rude, cos i am really losing my patience now with those buyers.
