I bought clothes for my newborn baby in December and unfortunately I misplaced the slip however I was able to find proof that I paid with my card, the 2nd slip that normally comes out once you have paid by card. On the back of that slip it says you can exchange clothes without the slip but Ackermans Bayside Mall refused to do the exchange. So why does your...

Ackermans customer service / accounts department

After setting up a RECURRING debit order in November I am receiving text messages saying I am behind on payment. Calling customer service was a waste of time as I was transferred to 3 different people each telling me something else. According to one I do have a recurring debit order and she does not understand why the debit orders did not go off and even told me it was set to go off on the 2nd of each month, but still transferred me to someone else. The next person then told me that there is no recurring debit order and wanted to send me the forms to complete so I do have a debit order. Why then did I spend almost an hour on the phone in November setting up a debit order? And why did I just spend almost another hour being transferred from one person to the next and eventually put on hold for more than 15 minutes where after the call was dropped?
This is unacceptable!

I visited one of your stores to return items which i bought on laybye, the issue was that the manager refused to give me a refund and she insisted that she will load it on a gift card and the reason for refusing was that when I went to take out the laybye I told the cashier I lost my slip and I paid cash and I was informed that I can return should there be...

I went to Ackermans cradlestone mall, to laybye, and yesterday the 13th of December I went to take out the laybye. To my surprise when I got home, the short I laybyed was switched, instead of a short I was given a skirt, n the skirt doesn't have a price tag. Because cradlestone is a bit far from where I'm staying I went to the nearest Ackermans, and I wa...

Ackermans agent extremely lack quality customer service, rude and ill mannered

Aphiwe Manzana called me today, Friday 13 Dec 2019 at 15:56, without providing any clear reason for her call - she started to harass me, raising her condescending voice while acting as if she knows me and I'm her friend.
Call her to order and she must never call me again. I suspect is the same gent who called me yesterday, Thursday, 12 Dec 2019 at 14:29 from 0314595482 behaving the same way. Kindly investigate this and address it with me urgently. From N. Goniwe | [protected]

I went to Ackerman's at Ladybrand branch and wanted to cancel one of my two laybyes and paid-up the other one, and I was told that Ackerman's Stores is no longer doing laybye cancellations, I must first wait for the laybye to expire than it will be possible for the cancellation to be made, and on the laybye that I paid-up I wanted to exchange some items and...

Ackermans stock request

Hi, I purchased a pair of JBR flipflops (blue and grey), size 7, item # 2755243 for R119.95 on 14/10/2019 (listed on the slip as Trainer Thong Grey and Charcoal on the tag). They are too small for my son and I wanted to size 8, so I called approx 6 stores myself to see if they had stock but they didn't so I called HO and logged a stock request on 21/10/2019 under ref # 656384. I was told 2 weeks. I have heard nothing so this morning I called to follow up and was told that they need to follow up, which says to me that nothing has been done for 3 weeks! If I call most other stores and ask if they have stock of an item, they call it up on the computer and give me branches where the item is available. I fail to see why this is such a higher grade request for Ackermans! The lady I spoke to now said someone will call me back...bet I will still be waiting in another 3 weeks time! Please can someone find the item I am looking for and call me back? Thank you Karlene Stevenson [protected]
