Poor product quality - Consumer Complaint for Bradlows - Head Office



SENDER
Kwenzekile Ngidi
I bought couches in 2018 December. Been complaining about them for the past two years.They feel like there is a whole when you sit. Stitches are coming out.Recliners not working well. Even the Salesman can't help me because he would book in the couches for repairs but they'll take a long process because you have to book them one by one and they take time to collect, repair and bring back, by the time you book in the last one the first is giving you problems. I would be following up with the Salesman and sometimes he would tell me that he really don't know why they take this long to collect, repair and bring back. Last year was even worse because they will tell you about lockdown backlog. Two years has gone by but I'm having one and the same problem. I'm stuck with ugly couches in my lounge I'm even thinking of writing to hellopeter. These couches take long to be repaired you sit on them two or three months the same thing comes back. The two seater is even worse. It was brought back from repairs not in a good condition the leather is peeling off, it's sagging.

Bradlows responded on the 2nd of February 2021 confirming receipt of my complaint. They said they will get back to me after the lockdown. I don't think it is fair for them to say they will attend to the after the lockdown while their shops are in operation but it's a problem to attend to our complaints. It is really not appetizing to look and sit on sagging couches.My sitting room looks ugly and untidy because of these couches.

Good day,

After I've been sent from pillar to post by Bradlows Head office sending me back to the shop salesman where I bought the coyches. Salesman has been saying I must wait for their werehouse to call me to arrange for collection of couches which were damaged by their werehouse while they were sent for repairs. At the end he sent me response via WhatsApp with photos taken from a document which stated that I am out of warranty I am liable for repairs cost plus transport, they said I must R900. 00 for collection of the couches then they will qoate me for repairs which I refused to do as the couches were damaged in their werehouse. The person I've been communicating with via email at [email protected] is no longer responding to my emails.

I wish I could forward you our communication history since 01 March 2021 via email if possible?

Kindly assist on how do I fix this issue.
