I opened an account on match before lockdown was implemented. It was successful and on it I took a laptop and I was required to pay R500 deposit which I paid 2 days after. The item was not available in store so I was ordered the one that I wanted and I'm grateful for that honestly. The store had to close until further notice due to lockdown and I totally understood that there's actually nothing that can be done so I patiently waited the whole april month. But now since the store is permitted to operate I haven't got the item it's now 2 months with no update that I personally had to go to the store and hear about my purchase. I'm so disappointed that I the customer had to wait the whole 2 months and still waiting for the item I purchased in March to arrive. This is totally a poor customer service and a disappointing service at OK Ladybrand.

On the 28/05/2020 I wanted to purchase a defy chest freezer of R3200 only to found out I can't purchase it because I have my own transport and I think it is utter madness to have to may R400 for delivery from Wynbery to lavender hill and I do have my own transport for the freezer to be delivered and how is it possible for me not to get the freezer and have to wait for level 1 but if I pay for delivery I can get it immediately I think that is day light robber to do that to a customer who is willing to show support to your store to a chest freezer

We bought the base set from them Nov 2019, hardly 2 weeks the base crackle and squeeked, they replaced it. Beginning of April the mattress starting to make dunning squeeking noises. And feels if it want to throw you off. And because of lockdown we could not get hold of them and since the middle of May we called the branch and they keep saying the stock Controller will call us. Till date no o e called. My husband is cripple and can be hurt badly and then it will be a law suit. What must be do. Go to the consumer council instead?

On the 07/03/2020 I bought Mini oven for cash,I was advised to not collect it because there was a promising special on the upcoming week.unfortunately the store closed due to lockdown.On the 26/05/2020 ,I went to collect My item I was forced to pay delivery fee while I have My own vehicle.I paid the amount while I transported My stove.Please can you look at this as it was cash purchase and prior implementation of new lockdown regulations .These regulations dont apply to this purchase.This is exploitation of customers and I will not stand for it.please adress it accordingly. We all affected by lockdown in a negative way.Im currently unemployed so why should I pay for delivery that I do not need.

Good day
Im writting this to report to the unproffessional way in which I was treated at your store in Welkom Free State.
I made a laybye on the 1 st March 2020 for a 4 plate cable stove as it was on special at the time,I deposit R2000.00 on the price of R3390.00 with the intention of getting it within the next month but due to lockdown i couldn't as your shop was closed.Now that I went they want to charge me a different price(R3900.00) and that was not the contract signed.Please can you look into this as I am a pensioner and cannot afford R510.00 more I did not ask Covid to happen, as far as I understand you can only sell big appliances within level 3 and i was willing to pay balance and wait for level 3 to pick up therefore I am appalled at them telling me I should buy a kettle or iron with my product at this time.WHY???Also insisting that I use your transport,I refuse as my son will do this for me for free.
This is exploiting us as pensioners and I will not stand for it.Please contact me soonest as I will be taking this futher if not dealt with accordingly. .Thank you

I bought a defy MOH9328B 30L MINI OVEN on the 07-02-2020. Today the small plate of the stove stopped working. I tried to call Butterworth OK Furniture at the following number; 0474018500 and some lady answered the the phone and told me that I should lay a complaint online and then dropped the call. When I tried to call the same number again it didn't go through but instead said that "the number you call does not exist".

I had a fraudulent account opened in my name. I have tried several times to contact your office and I was hung up on all those times. Your service levels are non existent, it disgusting the amount of disdain you show to possible customers.

Hi

My name is . My fridge has been broken since before lockdown, I did get intouch with Parow branch, since they have not gotten back to me now that we in level 4, I just thought I should make initiative to send this email since I saw the message on website. To my dismay the email on website bounced back, and despite double checking, the email address was correct but does not work.I used website contact us form, but I need an actual email address for customer complaints, why would you not have it listed on website [besides the okfurncus***@shoprite.co.za that bounced back].

I hope it can be resolved ASAP, as you can't begin to imagine how difficult life has been without a fridge during lockdown.
The Fridge details are;
[SKU - 210938 Hisense H359BME - WD 268L MET FR].

Some of the details are outdated on the attached documents.
My number is now different.

Email is preferable as at times I'm not available on phone due to work.


Regards

Mzwa Mbedu

I bought a Samsung 49 inch TV today the 26th March 2020.When I connected it at home there were lines and no picture and audio was not audible.I could not take it to the store as it was already after five o'clock and it was the start of the national lockdown.So i have to wait because the store will open on the 16th of April 2020.So I am so worried because I have to wait for the three weeks to pass.

I am so disappointed,my R4800.00 went down the drain.Thank you OK furniture store,so I am stuck with a new TV set which is not working because you said you are not responsible for repairing the broken inside screen.I will never buy anything from your shop.I bought most of my furniture and appliances from you guys but NIE MEER NIE.Your service left me heartbroken with no money I worked hard and save to buy the TV set.It is well with my soul.

We bought a fridge on Black Friday last year and we still have not received it.!!

We bought a fridge from Ok Furniture in Mount Ayliff and we sitll have not received it, Every time we call we are told stick will come but it has een almost 3 months now. In December the lady at the branch said other people got other fridges in that range and we should do the same of wait until the 15th of January, the fridge will come then. We have been going there since then and they tell us that they haven't received a new date of when the stock is coming, no communication, no apology, nothing!! Absolutely pathetic!!
