PEP STORES Complaints

Good morning my name is Ian Sitole. On the 01 January 2020 I purchased a handset from Pep Store in Brentwood Park Benoni and it had an offer with it that you will receive 600mb for 7 days every month. I thought that upon me loading airtime I would receive this offer but 2 weeks later I have not received any data. Who do I deal with on this issue?

I bought a cellphone on the 13th of January 2021 and I.wanted an exchange on the 14th of january 2021. Because the phones camera is not working properly. They told me they can only exchange technical errors wbut the policy on the slip does not say only techinical erros I was asked to call the customer Service center which I did and I was told to speak to the manager apperently the manager is not in the store I had to call again. They said the manager will call back I need an exchange or I.should get my refund I haven't used the phone I just checked the camera and the pictures are blurry I dont want it

Rude lady who was helping my mother at PEP Alice, Kwantu Mall, EC 5700.
On 09-01-2021 between 12:00 - 13-00.
While my mom was trying to send a parcel. The lady rudely asked for a store code which did not know. But had the address.

Good Day,
I bought a phone Samsung Galaxy A2 from a pep cell store in randburg mall on the 21st of August 2020 and I have returned the phone 4 times as it was giving issues days after the purchase. They at least take 4 weeks before return and once I get the phone and get home hours after it stops working totally and I have to take it back and I have done this 4times. I have asked for a refund on the last return and I have been refused. I will like this to be attended to as I will not take this at all. I was told they don't know when the manager of the store will be back to work as she has personal issues and I have been told this twice now. please kindly attend to this issue.

As I'm writing these complain I'm sitting outside pep mall@lebo in Lebowakgomo. According to their guide it says their operating hours on saterday are from 8.00 to 17.00 to the minutes they are not opened and none of their staff members is showing to be coming to work. Please file these complaints as a matter of urgency because we have other plans other than sitting here and waiting for them to come on their own time. I'm really not happy with these life does not have to be revolved around them. These is out of control really

I, Mongezi Genu will like to complain about my Phone repair ID: 01561110538EF0 which I brought on the 18 November 2020 at PEP Branch no.5611, Key West Shopping Centre.

My mobile phone details is as follows:
IMEI: 867173040507490

I'll appreciate if I may be notified when I should expect my phone cause it was not a repair that can take more than 2 hours nor a month to repair. Please inform me when I will get my phone.

Hi there, I tried to send a paxi parcel from the Hartbeesfontein store. I stood waiting for a long while because the computer system was very slow. Nonproblem. Understandable. However, the transaction did not register. Another lady, I assume the manager came to assist me. She tried for another 10 minutes...then she left. Then they phoned the receiver of the package to find out the store number. I did not give them permission to do this. In any case, he tried, but there was no answer.
I left the store and will now drive to Klerksdorp to use Courier Guy. R20 more expensive, but much less trouble and door to door.
I have used paxi before and had no trouble.
My question is this?

How is it possible that stores do not have access to the numbers of other stores?

Is it the customer's responsibility to phone receiving stores to get store numbers?

Is there an online list for your staff to use?

Also, I have already bought the paxi bag and it was opened. I would like to return it as I have no use for it anymore.

I often go to this Pep stores and the service is always impeccable. I do believe if the staff had access to the store codes things would have been more efficient.

Yesterday 28th of December I went to PEP Store at Galleria Mall. So I went to pep were they sell clothes they was a long Que than since I was on tea break I than decided to go to pep home when I went there they told me the scanner is not working as I was applying for Capfin loan. Then I dicided to go to pep cell so I went there cashier named senamile told me the lady that can scan for me is busy on the phone I ask her to call her since she can't scan for me she came back and said she can't come I must go to other pep I told her I can't ive been there and I am on my lunch break. She just say they is nothing she can do. So my question is that acceptable 1 cashier working and they are things she can't do and the other person is busy with a phone call cannot attend to customers really u could have seen the que I really find it unacceptable u really need to teach your sfaff about customer service.

Yesterday I bought a cellphone @ Pepcell in Tsakane Mall and asked the assistant there to just Rica my sim card as I will want to use it to port my current number to the new sim. Later in the day I tried porting my number and the sim was not registered when I called cell cand they advised me to buy a new sim register it. I today went to PepHome bought a new sim again sim was not Registered. Now I have to go back and register again. Totally disappointed with service from Pep

I bought a cellphone at pep in joburg, when I got home the phone screen has a grey line when I go back they said they can't help me with anything they said m the 1 who damaged the phone so what must I do can I open the case for them, or go to the media coz I can't lose my money just like that

I was at pep store in protea Glen mall Soweto the manager of the store does not know how to speak with the customers and its the second time now the area manager of the area knows about this thing I am not happy at all and she was rude and disrespectful to me and in front of the other customers and the cashier tried to talk with her plz talk with her.the branch code of the store is 5557

Have baugh 2 phones here 2 days ago when I bring it back to them for exchange all of them first walk pass me and help other people after I complain about it the lady at the phone department thinks I'm stupid I have more brain then she think rather stay without something before I come here ever again

I just exited Pep store in President hyper where a female worker there blatantly refused to assist me and my partner. I greeted her 3 times and even waved at her to gesture my greeting before asking for her assistance as she was in the aisle that I was looking for help in. The manager was just as nonchalant about my complaint as her subordinate! I walked out without purchasing anything there because of the cold and rude customer service. PEP CO, PLEASE train your stuff.

I had a very bad customer service, at Pep store in Sam Ntuli mall.A lady named NTHABISENG gave me the worst customers service. I was in the store and asked for assisted, and she said customers are a problem, if i don't know something how is she suppose to know, she works in store, she's suppose to help me for heaven sake.She said she won't be able to help me, I had to look for old receipts in order for her to help me since i needed to pay funeral cover,She said it is now done online,and further said "She thought them introducing online payments would make things easier for everyone, clearly not" She gave me the worst service, I even regretted coming to that store because before I reached that Pep store i pass 2 pep stores on my way there, I'm very unhappy. She was rude and ruined my day.

I bought a Phone Hisense on the 19th of December 2020, it's a dual SIM, they didn't tell me that SIM one is locked to be MTN only, also they didn't tell me that even if I put another network it won't work on data, so I took it back and they told me that there's nothing they can do about it, another thing they opened my phone in the store room and gave it to me ready with settings and everything. When I ask them about that they said "sorry" now my phone keeps having different strange accounts of people i've never seen. I don't know what to do with this phone really cause I am a Vodacom user not MTN, had they told me what was the case I would've took Vodacom or added money and bought another one. I am scared of my privacy cause somehow this phone feels and seems hacked.

I would really appreciate your help in this.

I bought the phone at pepcell in Libode.
