Non existent customer service
I have been a loyal customer for almost 40 years. I made an application for a price match some time ago which was refused. I disagreed with the grounds on which this had been rejected as the price match had fulfilled all the criteria but heard nothing more from customer services.
I then ordered the item but later returned it as, given the present pandemic circumstances and uncertainty with my job, I just could not afford it at the full price.
After I returned it, I realised that I had been sent an email approving the price match. I never saw this email as it had gone into my junk folder. I phoned customer services A few days after the 28 day period, explaining the situation. They bluntly refused. I then messaged customer services again and was told by a customer service agent that the price match could be done but, as he was going off shift, I would have to contact them again the next day!
I messaged them the following day and was told by another agent that the price match could not be accepted, despite what I had been told the previous day! This agent had obviously not read through my messages properly and, when I asked him to, just simply chose not to respond.
I then received a WhatsApp message from another customer advisor, Naomi, who seemed determined to fight with me rather than help! This advisor aggressively asked why I had not contacted them when I saw the email as they would have been able to help if I had. When I pointed out that I HAD called customer services a few days after the 28 day period, she changed her tune, advising that it ‘might’ have been okay, but wasn’t guaranteed!
This experience has been shocking and eye opening. Customer service is erratic; Advisors contradict each other, seems to be down to luck on who you speak to. No compassion or empathy shown, all about the money!
You have lost me as a customer as it is clear you would rather fight for a few pounds than continue to secure the thousands I (used to) spend every year. BIG THUMBS DOWN 👎🏾
