I bought clothes at truworths in december, two of the items were torn after 3 times of being worn, I took it back to truworths and I was told that damaged goods are not exchanged after a month, it is on the receipt, I asked the old lady (I think she is the manager) where that is on the slip as I had a recent truworths slip she never showed me and she left it, I called the head office and they said I should return it, I went back and the lady still refused. That same week I had bought a shift for about r350, just before I wore it I realised that there were stitches that were coming out, I took it back to the glen mall and explained everything and I showed them the ones I had bought at south gate and they exchanged everything but they gave me a hassle until I told them that I heard phoned the heard office and they advised that I should return everything to them. Now yesterday I was wearing pants I bought at truworths begining of winter, I had a shock of my life when my husband who was walking behind me asked me why my pants were torn, when I checked yes they were torn not by anything but it was just poor quality! Truworths is selling us poor quality clothes at expensive prices.

I bought a cell phone which was showing R1045 and realized when I got home that they charged me R1299 the store is in gateway and they don't want to honour the fare. My number is +[protected] and email is Kuhlekhush@gmail.com transaction No 102 1431.

Store number is 493

I have pictures to prove this and unfortunately unable to attach them

I recently opened up a Truworths account .

To my horror , I have received a policy about Account Protection .

After various telephone , it appears that this is compulsory and cannot be canceled.

Surely this is not legal

I bought clothes, a skirt, jacket and shoes for my niece. But she passed away vefore her birthday in the 18th of September. Because I have been occupied with the funeral I did not have a chance to return the goods.

I bought the clothes on 24 Aug and wanted to return it on 26 Sept and the people at the shop refused to take it back.

Hi there. I bought Olympia perfume at wonderpark for R 2 700 3 weeks back. Wow it doesn't smell at all,it is so weak. What a waist of my money. I regret buying such an expensive perfume for nothing.

I have paid my account with Truworths in the beginning of April and send the proof of payment to Truworths. Now all of a sudden I get numerous calls stating that I did not pay my account.

Please let them look up the payments first, then I would like an apology. I would take it further if this nonsens does not stop!

Good evening, I'm very disappointed on quality of your underwears, I bought them on the 22/02/2023 I wore it once Nd it's torn. Spending so much money (R300) on them was a waste of money. It's a pack of 3 I wore 1. Wish I can return d other 2 Nd have a full refund.

Truworths Musgrave , I still have the receipt.

Good day

I have recently noted a listing on my credit profile where Truworths made enquiries on 9 and 19 January 2022.

I have not made any interaction with Truworths and request that these listing be removed from profile as they are now impacting my record negatively.

Ooh Zanele I get that everytime I go to Truworths Tyger valley, Cape Town, whenever I go shopping there, then there is no one to assist and when I get to the till there is only one cashier and rest is on the floor not assisting customers at all but chatting to each other. So ridiculous, I'm telling you. They get paid to stand and talk not for helping customers. 😤

The staff in the store have no sense of urgency. They are chatting to themselves. There are two till on the men's side but one is operational with two staff working in one till.

I Bought items on 4 December 2018. I tried to return some of them yesterday 07 January and Truworths Mafikeng mall refused to take them back because 30 days has passed. I would have return them earlier but the place I went to did not have Truworths hence I only returned them yesterday.

I need a refund.

Sandton truworths has 15 ppl in tge queue and 2 cashiers. The managers response is that there is no cashier available to help as everyone is assisting on the floor. After asking her 5 times if she can assist to cashier does she go to a till.

On the 25th October 2018, 10:10, I stood in the queue at Truworths Golden Walk until 10:40.
There was only one teller. Instead of the manager assisting as a teller, she was removing the tags.
She was very nonchalant about the terrible service. When I asked her why there was only one teller, she said the rest of the staff would be in at 11:00.
