Bradlows Furniture lounge suite

Good Day

I bought a 3 piece lounge suite from Bradlows Southgate in September 2017.

When the lounge was delivered in September 2017 it was torn and therfore taken back for repairs.

July 2018 I realised that the lounge was still damaged as it was changing colour even and was tearing and the arm rest on the small sofa was falling apart I logged a complaint and the lounge suite was collected on the 28 July 2018.

I was informed that the repairs process takes up to 15 days but 15 days lapsed and I did not recieve the lounge suite.

We have been sitting on the floor and my grandparents are elderly, My grandfather cannot walk and has been sitting on the floor due to the lack of service from the company. I bought a lounge suite for comfort and relaxation not for the stress that has come with

On the 6th of September 2017 the lounge was delivered but the quality of the lounge is shocking, a black cloth was used to stitch the areas that are tearing and the lounge has been damaged more.

We need to sit on the floor for more days due to the companies lack of honest and transparent customer service

I called Bradlows Southgate requesting to speak to the manager she took very long to come to come to the phone and there after had no sense of sympathy she did not even applogize for the matter, she was rude and has escalated my anger to the point that I have decided to refer the matter to the Furniture and Retail Ombudsman for assistance.

I have never in seen such shocking service in my life, I am having a party on 29th of September but will not have a lounge suite however every month I am paying for something which I do not have.

I have pictures of how the lounge suite looks now, please advise when I should forward those pictures.

I want a refund of the money paid to date and Bradlows can keep their bad lounge suite. I have not enjoyed the lounge since purchase date as it has been returned for repairs 3times.

And on purchase I was mislead and told that it was genuine leather however then Bradlows Southgate changes they statement and says its not as they know they have sold me a low quality product for over R30000 rand.

Bradlows Furniture defy fridge

In April I bought a fridge and other furniture from Bradlows in Phoenix when the delivery came firstly they did not bring the fridge. After contacting them they then realized that they don't have stock . After a week they delivered a show room fridge wrapped in cling wrap and had alot of dents and scratches. Finally when they gave me a new fridge it was also dented . When I received the fridge I contacted the store but the manager was too busy to attend to my call. The delivery guy said he cannot wait for me to complain and I must take it up with the store. I then calles the sales lady who was sick at home and told her about my query she said when she gets back to work she will sort it out. It has been 5 months latet and each time I speak to her or visit the store she says the new fridge is coming . Today she had the audacity to tell me that I did not complain quick enough I have records of all the calls made she even went to an extent of telling me that I must do whatever I feel like doing and complain to whoever I want to. Her name is Navina from Bradlows Phoenix so please assist me as soon as possible as I am paying for something that is damaged and they just dont care. The store manager is even worse and has a pathetic attitude towards customers and complaints I cannot understand how he even qualified as a store manager.
Thank you.
Mr and Mrs Singh.

Bradlows Furniture lounge suite

I bought the lounge suite between August nd September 2017 for my mother. By December they started making noise when you sit on and my mother told me about it and said to her it's just one couch she must not worry. Then by February 2018 they were all making this strange spring noise and just beside the armrest thers something like a hole. I then in March 2018 went to the shop to complain bt even today my mother is still sitting on those couches.

Bradlows Furniture incorrect info at credit bureau

I signed a contract with Bradlows Tzaneen and I asked them to debit my account on the 25th of every month. I'm the 25th of June, I noticed that my account was not debited. I decided to make a manual payment on the 26th. Ti my surprise, my account was listed as overdue at Transunion. I requested for this to be rectified but it is the end of July and I'm still sitting with this problem. To make matters worse, Bradlows couldn't care less how this negatively affects me. I will never ever buy from Bradlows again. Not that my money makes a difference to them anyway. Worst service ever

Bradlows Furniture lounge set order

Ordered a lounge set from Bradlows Chatsworth, a week later and I have still not received the lounge set. Keep being told that there still waiting for stock. How can the store advertise for a product that they do not have.

When they wanted the sale, I received a call every 10 minutes, now I have to call to check when the lounge set will be delivered. Absolutely unprofessional and pathetic service. When you phone the customer services department there is still another waiting period for them to attend to your complaint.

Bradlows Furniture cambridge three (3) piece lounge suite

• Highly dissatisfied and disappointed with the service received at Bradlows/Morkels Pinetown, KZN
• In March 2017, I bought the Cambridge three (3) piece lounge suite from Bradlows/Morkels Pinetown, KZN and paid R21 999.95 in cash. It was claimed that they are genuine quality and would last for at least 5 years (warranty).
• Two months down the line the recliner on the three seater was not functional, I logged a call to have them repaired, they were collected and later returned after four weeks and they were still in the same condition. I decided not to pursue the matter due to the tediousness of the process.
• Beginning of June 2018 the WHOLE lounge suite started cracking and deteriorating out of control. On the 14th of June 2018 I logged another call to have the whole lounge suite repaired AGAIN. My family and I have decided that we now actually don't want the suite which has resulted in requesting the branch Manager of Bradlows/Morkels Pinetown to either give me a refund or give a voucher that I can use to get something else within the store.
• It is totally unacceptable for a product with a guaranteed warranty of five (5) years to be in such an appalling condition in less than two (2) years.
• Upon my request to receive a refund or a voucher, the branch Manager at Bradlows/Morkels Pinetown, is giving stories and excuses and not being helpful at all and I have requested him to escalate this matter to higher authority, as he was and is not being of any assistance with the matter at hand. Your urgent assistance to resolve the matter would be highly appreciated. As my lounge is currently empty.

Bradlows Furniture grafton 3 piece purchased with number of defects.

Good Morning

I Desmond Pillay [protected]). Sales order no 3173342.

It's with great regret and disappointment to inform you'll that my purchase of a Cambridge 3 pc suite which was delivered and returned due to quality defects on two occasions.

Good delivery and a complaint were logged with the sales rep in regards to the single piece having a defect on the arm and back rest (gap in-between in two), which in-convened me for approximately two month after making numerous number of calls only to find out the good have been credited for a new set has been submitted.

On 15/06/2018 a second set was delivered which disappointed me even feather reason being there are a number of defect on all three pieces, Which is listed on the CRM/ODITY complaints document from the delivery person which is found in attachment. Has a customer a followed protocol and once gain logged a complaint with my sale rep only to find out that the same principle apply which will in-convenience my family and I.

It's now world cup season and my family and I send a lot of time sitting around the television watching the games and having family time, it will be will be tremendously disappointing and once again an inconvenient to the family.

The lounge set have to be picked up for the second time. I humbly request the a quality assurance officer from GRAFTON come to my home inspect the product that have been passed is acceptable and I be compensated accordingly without inconvenience for the above highlighted mentioned.

Me being a paying customer of Bradlows feather request that the 3 piece Cambridge be credited in-order for me to pick a different brand which will hopefully be of better quality.

Bradlows Furniture refund for overcharge for a fridge

My name is Riaan Mosia and I bought a fridge from Bradlows East London (Fleet street). The fridge cost R8999 and I was charged R9999. Upon noticing the error I took it up with the branch and was told I should bring a copy of my id and bank statement so they would have details of where they should transfer the money to. I was then told I would be refunded within 2 weeks. It has now been over 3 weeks and I haven't received any feedback as to what is happening.

Bradlows Furniture refund

I deposited a bedroom suite at bradlows furniture on the 27 April 2018 at game city branch, Gaborone botswana.
A week later the good were delivered but Unfortunately the furniture didn't fit in to my bedroom hence we returned same day.
I must point out that the goods came on a Saturday late afternoon and the delivery men smelled of alcohol. They told me it's not their delivery and that they are doing some other delivery crew a favour.
I went back to the store and talked to one ms matshidiso who helped me initially, I wanted to replace the furniture but there was no other option is found hence settled for a refund.
After 2 weeks I called the store requesting information about the refund as I have submitted the bank details they had requested. Mrs matshidiso referred me to the store manager Mr moses. This man is rude I must say, no customer service at all. Not surprising he didn't help me in anyway.
I called the store after a week again and asked to escalate my query that's when Mrs matshidiso refused to give me any name or number I can call for assistance.
Fortunately I managed to get Mr khuwa number from another store, he was kind and he promised the refund with be done soonest.
Nothing materialised nd I called him again that's when he told me he is on leave and referred me to Mr kgari.
To this day I haven't received any information about my refund. I call every day and my sent from pillar to post.
I have now accumulated a telephone bill which I don't know if bradlows will help me settle.
There is very poor service at game city store and I think it all emanates from the store man. He is incompetent and has no face towards customers.
Can I therefore please have a clear answer with regard to my refund.?

Bradlows Furniture service

Good Day

Two months ago my husband and I were window shopping for a lounge suite and went into bradlows in chatsworth, durban. The sales lady asked if we needed assistance and we responded that we were just browsing. On the 26 May 2018 we went back to the store forgetting that we were there 2 months earlier as we were interested in the Trent Lounge suite thats on special. we were approached by a friendly salesman and told him what we were looking for to place as a layby. The sales woman then comes and to where we were and aggressively speaks to the sales man and says to him that we are her customers which was not true. Her name is Ashina. Secondly when she assists us she is not clear on the lay-by process and many other things, however when we proceed to do the paperwork we were introduced to another grumpy Indian lady who was not welcoming at all. they were having several issues with the system when we wanted to place a layby amount. We left the store and said we will return the next day when the system was up and running.

We went back on the 27 May 2018 and much to our disappointment we were received again by the same unwelcoming woman who was extremely arrogant when we asked questions with regards to putting a deposit and which will drop the lay-by monthly installments. They were aggressive in their mannerisms as well as defensive when asked questions about speaking to some sort of management for clarity. A lady by the name of Amanda then came to us and said that if we were not happy with what they were telling us we can leave. Our isuue was that if we were putting down a deposit, it should bring down the monthly installments and apparently that cannot be done

1. Is that the way staff are meant to talk to customers trying to make a purchase for the first time at the store.
2. Why is it that Store managers don't want to assist clients when they have complaints about the staff.
3. It seems like theres an attitude of not caring if you lose a potential customer.
4. It is disgusting behaviour from the Female staff of Bradlows Chatsworth and we should get some sort of apology for their rude and arrogant behaviour.

We are still willing to purchase the lounge suite on lay-by however we need some sort of direction as to how the lay-by terms work with you guys.

I tust this will be dealt with the utmost respect and urgency because if not I will go to the media to do an article on the reception we got.

Bradlows Furniture calderdale bedroom suite

I purchased the above bedroom suite from Bradlows in the Johannesburg CBD. The bed was to be a gift for a wedding.
The purchase was made on the 26th of April for delivery to Estcourt on the morning of the 28th. The day of the wedding.
Albert the store consultant
1. Assured me that delivery to Estcourt would be possible and will ensure it's done in the morning of the 28th. Needless to say they called me the morning to confirm delivery address, but never made it to the address until 16:30in the afternoon for a package that was expected at around 10:00. The delivery individuals I was told would assemble the bed on arrival. This didn't happen because they arrived so late in the day.
That's not the only disappointment I have endured with this store. When I made the purchase I was never given or made to sign the terms
and conditions applicable to returns or exchanges in the store. They were too eager to take my money and get their commission.
The bed that was delivered was a queen size bed, which I admit is what I had purchased. My mother whose gift this was; owns a brand new queen size extra length Simmons base and mattress(which mind you costs more than the calderdale bedroom suite). The bedroom suite unfortunately as beautiful as it is disappointed in that it couldn't fit in the extra length queen size base & mattress. I called the head office to advise them of my little mishap. They told me to go back to the store I made a purchase at and request an exchange. I arrived at the store only to be told that they don't order the bedroom suite in a king size as its not a popular size and that they can't place a special order just for one customer. I told them that I'd like to return it then as I have no use for it.
They then advised me that they do not accept returns if they are not in the store packaging that they were delivered in. If the delivery was made on time I would have established this little problem much earlier and had the delivery guys return back with it in its packaging.
They have refused to exchange or take back their bedroom suite and have said unfortunately that's their policy. I did not sign any terms and conditions stating that I cannot return the items purchased from the store. I am now stuck with a useless bedroom suite that cost me about R8, 300 including delivery charges.
I feel Bradlows is treating me unfairly as customer. Especially since the terms and conditions were never stipulated to me.
I no longer wish to exchange or do any form of business with the furniture store and would like for them to come collect their bed and return my money.
I eagerly await your response.

Regards
Isabel
