Mr Price Group / MRP horrible service regarding sim card

A lady called me and told me that MRP will give me a sim card for free. I asked her several times if I have to pay for anything or if there is a monthly fee and she said no. The sim was delivered to me and on the delivery form it was showing a list of fees that I was not told about. I did not sign the form or take the sim card. I got my statement from MRP and it's showing that there is a cancellation fee for this sim card of R100? I was not told about this cancellation fee or the fees listed on the delivery form. The lady also told me that if I do not want to recharge the sim card and not use it, that there will be no extra fees, that this is just a sim card they are giving me because I am a Mr Price client.

Mr Price Group / MRP mrp mobile after sale service

I entered into a cellphone contract with mrp mobile. The device i received had problems the first week I used it. I phoned to have the device replaced but I was told that it can't be replaced without it being assessed. I accepted the explanation and requested a loan unit as I am unable to sustain my work ethic without a cellular device. I requested a senior member to contact me as soon as possible. No one phoned me back. I phoned again because a courier company contacted me to collect my telephone. Again I was told the same story. I am utterly disgusted with the way my situation was handled. Where are my rights as a consumer? The phone has serious software problems but I am being told to go without a device for three to four weeks. Why was all this not explained in the sales pitch. Where are the promises of excellent service your company will provide?

I entered into a contract more than 4 years ago. Never used the phone. It was faulty from the onset. It was never replaced, even though I requested this YEARS AGO. Terrible, pathetic service. I have written emails and called, all with no response. I have paid the debit orders for an excess of 2 years now; they refuse to let up on the debit orders, even though the initial contract, for which I have received absolutely ZERO SERVICE up to date, lapsed more than 2 years ago. They have stolen enough from me, I just need this issue resolved and the payments to STOP.

I had a debit order with MRP MOBILE..however for 2 months now I do not have service. The call center is pathetic. When you try to submit a complaint, your call gets dropped. I will never recommend MRP mobile to any of friends.

Mr Price Group / MRP customer service

13 may 2017 kempton park.
I went to go buy a pair of brown ankle boots around 17h00 using my card. Got to the que and the lady shouted "next" as usual. When I approached the till, she just told me to wait aside with no explaination and ordered the next person to come. 10min later a lady came taking her time for that matter, to assist me. No greeting was done and no explaination given for waiting. This system really sucks and there is no proper customer service there.. It is really disgusting and will loose customers. I for 1, would rather travel to festival mall which is 30min away than go to this 1 which is 10min away. Get to the bottom of this right away or i'm taking this to hellopeter.com

Mr Price Group / MRP mr price home - lack of service

I live in Port Elizabeth, I went shopping in Mr Price Home in Walmer. I found a throw that happened to be on sale that I love and is exactly what I'm looking for, but they only have 1 and I need 5!
The lady that assisted me was very helpful in searching to see where there is stock so I could get it, but because it's on sale they can not transfer between stores.
We located 12 units in Somerset West, Cape Town. I made contact with the store and they said they can only keep them for 2 days as its on sale. I
have a friend there that I asked to collect it, however she was unable to do to the storms and then she had to leave to help family in Knysna, so she was unable to collect them for me.

I then contacted Mr Price Customer service on 7th June. I requested a call back. They called me back, I started explaining the situations and she put me on hold, I was on that call and on hold for a total of 9mins 43 seconds and I just put down the phone. How long do they expect me to hold for? They never called me back!

I then went back to the Walmer store and asked for the area or regional managers number - I was given the number of a lady by the name of Maria [protected]) I called her on Friday 3 times and left a message, I called her again yesterday, Tuesday 13th June and left another message for her to return my call and still I have received no call back from her!

DISGUSTING Service from the so called "Customer Service " and worse from one of your senior management- what a joke!

All I wanted is some one to assist me as to how I would go about getting the other throws that I am desperately needing!

Please can somebody get back to me?

Thanks Teniele

Mr Price Group / MRP store opening late

Mr Price Claremont has been moved from their old premises in Dreyer Street to Cavendish. You would swear that with the new premises the store would open up on time, but still when the clock strikes 9:00 am their doors are still closed. Nine o' clock is nine o' clock not a minute past etc. The security's either sitting and read or eating WTF. The only shop that opens at 9:00 am sharp is the home section of Mr Price. I asked the home securtiy if I could go in, she said yes and Mr Price staff is still having meetings and whatnot at 9:05 am while customers are queing and waiting for the doors to open. This is not the first time that I am complaining about this store who can't open on time. You SUCK!

Mr Price Group / MRP bedding :bad quality - burning like sandpaper

I purchased 5 items from Sheet street ( part of Mr Price, in August ( between 16 and 20th at Sunvalley mall, Cape Town ).I purchased 2 x double and 2 x single, all with pillows and a large comforter all with the same fabric. I have washed them about 3 times and then just packed them away as they are too uncomfortable to sleep on or under due to the burring. The burring is like heavy duty sandpaper .

This quality material is inferior and should not be used for bedding at all. This is a BAD reflection on the quality of your products . I have photos of the burring and all the product lables . I want my money back and for them to withdraw this sort of quality from their production line .
I cannot use them at all .
Customer services have told me its too late to refund me. No acknowledgement of inferior quality or explanation or advice on how to "deburr it"

Mr Price Group / MRP call center phone call

I was contacted last week by one of the call center agents ([protected]) - not sure of the name - claiming to be from Mr Price Head Office. He was offering me a protection plan on my account which i did not wish to take at the moment and said i would go into the store if/when i wanted to take one. After him explaining and me still objecting he sounded very irritated and rude with the fact that i weren't taking it, as he said and i quote "hope its not too late" and put the phone down, which i felt was uncalled for. I'm a card holder/customer of Mr Price for many years now and after that call i was very uneasy about my account and felt like closing it feeling rather threatened considering the amount of fraud(inside) taking place. I would appreciate it if the matter would be addressed. Thanks

Mr Price Group / MRP service and customer complaints

I placed an complaint on hello peter see below.

"Terrible Terrible Service
by jr-steenkamp 1
I make use of online shopping every day as i am a busy professional. I ordered from Mr. Price and only after the third business day i recieved an email stating that they are out of stock on an item I ordered. I had then already paid my order and was awaiting delivery. No phone call just an email that says "we refund you for the item we dont have in stock". I mean really this is totally their fault and should have rectified it by making up for it by giving me a discount on my next order or an additional voucher. I am upset with their service. I loged a call back as they were closed and couldn't answer my phone call. I waited 6 hours and did not recieve anything. I xalled them back later and no answer i was placed on hold for 30 mins. I then went to their "chat" page where you can text consultants. There i just got a text that said they will call me back. My order arrived. No voucher attached no letter nothing on of the clothing items was sealed in a packaged wrapper. The other clothing item not packaged. I am never making use of their service again. Totally disappointing! "

Then i received the following reply

"Official business reply:

May 17, 2017
6 days ago
Good Day

We sincerely apologise for all the inconvenience you have incurred.

You will be contacted by one of our online team members, who will handle this matter personally with you.

Many Thanks

Mr Price "

I still have not received a phone call or email and its a week later.

I am so disappointed i cannot even describe it. I expect more from a leading retailer in South Africa.

I wont let this go. This behavior and treatment is unacceptable.

Mr Price Group / MRP service

We were at the 165 jhb market strt location and the service was appalling. First we asked the lady working upstairs for mens vests and not only did she not make eye contact but she rudely pointed at them with her finger. That however was nothing compared to the service we received from the cashier named Sarah. Not only did she not greet, she made no eye contact her presence was so unwelcoming we felt very uncomfortable almost scared. She did not bother to tell us the total price we had to look down at the till screen ourselves and then continued on to say "next customer " as if we were bothering her. Her service was too atrocious to ignore. We kindly ask for something to be done about this as we are never going back to that location or any Mr price outlets if this is how customers are treated.

Mr Price Group / MRP mrp online

I placed an online order on the 5th May 2017 for 2 statement bags, the order was for mothers day gifts.
On the 10th May 2017 I received and email my goods are now with the couriers and the parcel will be delivered soon. On the 11th May 2017 I called the customer service line and I spoke Nonthando and she said it will be delivered by Friday the 12th. I told her to please sort it out as I needed it for mothers day, I asked if I could speak to the manager she directed my call to a lady called Perusha. She asked me if she could find out if the store closest to my house has stock for me I told her ok check canal walk. She said she will call me back after 2 and up until today,
15 May 2017 I am still waiting on my call and I still don't have the bags I ordered.Then came mothers day and I stood like a total fool with no gifts (having ordered them Friday already). I find this totally unacceptable and the lowest point of poor service . I then called the customer service centre again 15/5/17 and had to re-explain the whole story and asked to speak to PERUSHA and said she was on a call again and that she'd return my call. Yet i was asked "do you not need the bags anymore?"Clearly my complaints/enquiries haven't been noted I had to give my details for the 3rd time and it's been 3 hours and still no call from anybody

This will be the umpteenth time that il call in from my cell phone and seems my bill will go higher than the price of these bags SOMEBODY PLEASE DO SOMETHING

I don't have a bag .I don't have my money back, nor do I have feed back from these so called customer service agents.

Mr Price Group / MRP mistreatment

Mr price mall of africa, what a bad treatment i got from them. Me and my partner were shouted at for entering the change room for not knowing it was closed. The lady was sweeping inside the change room but shouted at us for entering. The so called manager came but didnt even do anything about it or even apologise. They dont even have name tags on to show that they treat customers badly and they will get away with it. Im very disappointed because this is not the first time. The last time they followed me like a thief for taking water, thinking i was gona pay when i pay for my clothes and they made me pay before and told me i must pay for the water first. What a nonsense stuff and uninformed workers you have there and the manager takes the cup. Thank you, hopefully i will get proper feedback.

Mr Price Group / MRP lack of service

I ordered online and choose to collect from the Northgate store. I received notification that the parcel was shipped on 28 April. By 6 May I was bored with waiting and went to Northgate to investigate. The teller and manager could not have been less interested, both said they were unable to assist and refused to look in the collections cupboard. The cupboard is directly behind them! They could not have cared less. Why do they not contact the call centre on the client’s behalf? Clearly assisting the public is not part of their job. I then spent 15 minutes on my cell phone to the call centre and was told my parcel was shipped and they knew nothing else. By now I had lost all patience and requested a refund. Half an hour later the call centre phoned back and said my parcel was at the Northgate store and had been for ages and why did I not ask them to check the cupboard? I then had a complete ‘meltdown’ and said please just refund me. Since then the parcel has been marked as collected - by whom? I can only imagine Casper the ghost collected it? Skip ahead another week and I have sent dozens of emails requesting my refund be processed and have not received a single reply. This was an online sale...surely my credit card can be refunded online? I refuse to go back to Northgate. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Mr Price Group / MRP online delivery time

I placed my order on the 1st of May, to the day I still haven't received my order. You charge me for a service to have it delivered within a certain amount of time, I pay for this service and then I have to wait double the amount of days for my order?! This isn't the first time this has happened, maybe you should look at changing your couriers or refund me back my delivery cost for not delivering my items on time. Flip I've been such a loyal customer to you guys the LEAST you could do is to actually deliver the service you advertise! What is the use of ordering online if it's going to be such a hassle?

Mr Price Group / MRP online order placed correctly but incorrect altered product sent

Mr Price / MRP Really disappointed... ordered a pair of size 4 black pumps online and requested to collect from a store. When I received the order I found that I did order the correct size however the product that was sent was incorrect. Furthermore the product sizing was altered - the number 5 underneath the shoe was scratched but the size number is still visible and the size number on the inside of the shoe was rubbed out but the number 5 is still visible. The price sticker with size 4 appears under the shoe.
It would of been nice if I was informed that they didn't have my size instead of given something that I cannot use.
Your response to this will be much appreciated. Pictures of the product is available.

Mr Price Group / MRP e-commerce and manager at market street jhb

Good day

I am an e-commerce client who has appreciated the development of your online shopping since I came across it. Shopping has never been easy especially since working long hours this is like a walk in a park. But suddenly I have came into an unpleasant confrontation with one of the manager at Market Street in JHB CBD name: ANNA, that's all i know her as, she gives so much attitude like she hates the fact that I buy online am not sure if I am the only customer she does this but. But every time I have to fetch an order that I paid for I feel like I am causing her an inconvenience and this is shown to all the staff that has to assist me with the order.

I am starting to look for alternative companies to do my online shopping because I cannot afford to feel terrible everytime I go and fetch my order.

Please assist with this matter because I believe she can be less confrontational when dealing with clients

Mr Price Group / MRP opening and account

Hi there
I have tried unsuccessfully 3 times to sort this out at bayside mall and am appalled at the service I received. 2 weeks ago I went to open an account. Was told my old account which I closed 6 years ago was on fact not closed but the credit limit was reduced to R1. They requested I fax all my docs ) as attached minus the lease agreement) which Nicole did for me. Heard nothing. Went I today, they phoned and was told nothing was received. I dealt with a lady called Livin. She told me they have lost my documents and there's nothing they can do. These documents have ally confidential information on them and I find this totally unacceptable. And illegal. She had no solution except to tell me she can send me a number and I can start the whole process again. When asked about my confidential informations whereabouts she just shrugged and said there's nothing she can do. I have no account and no help at all. I'm even reconsidering wanting an account if this is how is how customers are treated.
I expect an answer and solution ASAP.
