Mr Price Group / MRP

My daughter has been struggling to open an account since February 2021.03.30
Everytime she goes to the Newtown branch they advise that all documents has not been received after handing in documents on a weekly as per request on enquiry.

Monday at lunch a staffmember told us that they need the most recent statement with her salary, so after work we handed in the latest and it was scanned and sent same time and when he made a call to the customer service help desk he was told all documents has not been received. We left

the Manager herself made a call on Friday and was advised my daughter will receive a sms on Saturday, we went to the store again yesterday and was told the account is still pending awaiting documents. That peezed me off completely.

How difficult is it to open an account, and why do we have to begg? Does MR PRICE or the store not need the revenue to keep there doors open? Because in my space we are hungry for business and would never let our clients run around or beg asif YOU DON'T NEED MY 2 cents, IF MY DAUGHTER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE ACCOUNT THEN INFORM HER AND GIVE REASONS! Most disgusting service after I close my account a few years ago for bad service, and reopened it years later. THERE ARE SO MANY MATRICULANTS LOOKING FOR JOBS AND YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE STAFF HAS AN ATTITUDE WHEN THEY SPEAK TO THE CLIENT, WE ARE NOT BORROWING MONEY OR ANYTHING FROM THEM PERSONALLY SO WHY GIVE ATTITUDE AND THEY ARE JUST EMPLOYED TO DO A JOB ?

Instore staff should show more empathy instead of pulling up shoulder and say well that's what our client Service says, maybe they don't have targets to work on and couldn't care how many customers they chase away with their attitude and how many people that very person go tell about the bad service! And the speaking to one another in their language asif the customer doesn't exist in ALL your stores is a pain.

Good day .I'm Sheila ndaba from palm springs vereeniging, I opened my account last year November. And then on December on my first installment I paid my account including the policy and then same day I cancelled my policy due to misunderstanding with the agent who called me regarding payment issues. So I cancelled the policy in the store I signed the papers to my suprise since December last month the policy wasn't cancelled cause January they said I must pay 289 which was not my installment I paid it, February again they said I must pay 285 then I decided to pay only my installment cause according to my Knowledge when u cancel the policy automatically I can't continue to pay it. The beginning of the month I received a massage that I owe R408 which I don't know it is for what cause I never skip my installment is 157 a month so for Dec tojan I paid 300 and 285 it's only Feb where I paid 157. So I decided to call Mr Price then they referred me to financial services then I cancelled my policy but still they called and told me I owe R 408 which is already affecting my score as we speak I'm very upset. And. It happy with the service of Mr Price palm springs branch. Last week I decided to go at the store to ask them what happened about my form cause clearly they didn't fax from December till to date. When I asked the cashier said they don't have anyone dealing or trained to work with the cancellation that side I have to go to another branch which I did today the manager of evaton Mr Price was also suprised when she called them they said their fax doesn't work. So they took my email and they said they are going to send me email and then I will email it to the customer service. So meaning now I'm doing their job wherears dis side I'm in areas which I don't know where they come from with a credit of 1350. Please help . My number [protected] Mrs Ndaba

I returned a fitted sheet which was written queen size on the outside but inside was actually double size. I was told to go to Mr price home where I bought the product, but the one that I went to today was closer to where I live. The "manager "said they cannot help me, I asked since when do I need to go to the same shop where I bought the item cause as far as I know you can return the goods at any mr price. I asked to speak to the manager she said she was busy to hear what I wanted to say. The cashiers were rude also, these are the employees at [protected]@reds in Pretoria, centurion. The manager's name was Marie.

A 3-piece couch set was delivered at 2pm on Monday 15 March. Upon opening the boxes, it was clear that the couch is dirty and shop soiled. WhatsApp sent 15 March 18h21. Call made to call centre (Cameron) at 08h01, email with photos sent at 08h31, call made to call centre (Shaun) at 12h19, another email sent at 14h24; another email sent at 15h45, another call (Njabulo) made at 16h15. Awaiting feeding back which only now heard takes 24 to 48 hours. In the interim, the dirty couch (in Covid-19!) sits in a pensioner's home. Disgusting service.

MRP Call centre agents have no telephone etiquette skills, they are hostile and unpleasant.

I am being contacted month after month demanding a higher installment to be paid .
I am paying more 10% of my balance every month.

When I am contacted I am spoken to as if I am a criminal.

There is never a manager or supervisor on site that I can speak to and address my concerns.

In the midst of a global pandemic, I am paying my account, still being called month to month-?
The consultant I spoke to today Sthembile Cilli, had absolutely no customer service skills, her tone of voice was a very hostile one and apon asking for a manager, immediately advised that there is none available.

If payment is made on a month to month basis, what is the need to be called every month?
Sthabile advised that I will be handed over, on what grounds? If I am a paying customer ?

Surely my contract stipulates a 3rd party handover should I default in my payments!

I received a gift card on the 28th of February 2021. Was advised to wait 24 hours for the funds to be loaded onto the card. Tried to purchase online but keeps saying the card is invalid and at the back of the card it says I can purchase online and in store. There's items online that you don't have in store.

I made an order online on 12feb 2021, the money was deducted but the order was not processed and did not appear on the app. I never received anything.

I sent a few enquiries about my order since the 15th of Feb 2021 and I have communicated with 5 consultants (Sithembiso - on call and e-mail, Naledi on whatsapp - 2 times, Nomha on whatsapp - 2 times, Berlin on whatsapp - 3 times, Thandeka -on call and e-mail). None of them really assisted me or gave feedback, but send me messages saying the will provide feedback in either 24 or 48 hours. I have sent my proof of payment to each of the consultants. Naledi told me my refund is bein processed and this morning I was told they can't trace my payment, which is weird cos I have a prove of payment with MrPrice's account details and the date and time of payment. Now I have to spend money on data and airtime to contact them and send them documents I have already sent a few times. I just want my money back please.

On the 28/02/2021 10:58 as per slip I was at forest hill mall mr price clothing I purchased clothes worth of 440.27 and on the first swipe money went out and the cashier said she needs to swipe my card she call a lady by sylvia who gave me wrong numbers [protected] that I should swipe my card again if it went twice I should contact her direct only to find out the number is not working im trying to call the store number is busy for the past 30 minutes. Im really not impressed of the service we are talking about the money which I need to utilize on my daily living. I was double charge and I want to know way forward from here. Do you understand if I go to the store now and the tell me they need my id and I dont have it its another stress I want all the process of getting my money back and how long it is gonna take.

I bought glasses nov 2020, then only one broke... The rest are fine. Bought one today to replace it, just when I was still at the mall a few mins later it broke again. Mind you it was wrapped. When I went back to the store complaining about the quality they say it was all my fault. If I broke it then the others should be broken too! They are very rude

I purchased 2 foot stools at Mr Price Hone in Hillcrest, Durban in November 2020. A month later one of the buttons fell off. I did not have a receipt but I showed them my credit card statement to prove I had bought it. I spoke to Wendy at the store and she said that I would be contacted. It has now been 5 weeks and I have not been contacted by anyone from Mr Price Home, Hillcrest.
My details are as follows

I would really appreciate it if you could escalate my complaint so that this matter can be sorted out.

Thank you

Asked at Mr Price Sport Fourways branch about a dumbbell set and was told by staff that they no longer stock then in store and we need to order online and they can be delivered to the store for collection. I went online to order a 20kg vinyl dumbbell set and nowhere could I find an option for collection from a store. The dumbbell set cost is R499 and the delivery is R400 hence my request to collect from a store.
I went into the Northgate Mr Price Sport and asked the same thing and was told exactly the same. They said I must select the option for store collection.
I went home and tried again thinking I must have made an error the first time, but still the same result.
I called the customer care line and spoke to what I can only describe as the rudest person I have ever encountered in a customer care role. I asked for a phone number of a customer service manager, but was told she could not give it to me. I then asked for a direct email address and again was told she could not. She told me to ring the call centre number which was the number I called to speak to her.
I then submitted a few queries via the website contact us form and received absolutely no response.
I have now ended up here.

I was at Mr price Greenacres Port Elizabeth where I saw a show labeled R329 when I got to the till it scanned R499. I told them that the price I saw was R329. And I was not going to pay R499, the lady who helped us in the sport department CINDY told me to my face that was lying and it had a different price on whereas both myself and my partner saw the price. The manager SHEPHARD told me that Cindy was saying something different, so what about me who is the CUSTOMER we told him to check the footage, he comes back with half it and not the part where it shows Cindy had gone and changed the price after she was called to the till. I am totally DISGUSTED by the service received from this store.

I placed 2 online orders 2 weeks ago and I only received one. I have been waiting for the other order to arrive, I even went to the store twice and came back with nothing. I contactes mr price through the whatsapp chat option and the service I got from their "heroes" was absolutely pathetic. I have to wait over 10 minutes on end to get a customer care respondent to reply back, such nerve as if they are doing me a favor when I purchased the item I didn't get it for free.

Good Day
I'm totally disgusted in the service I got from Mr Price Home Cape Gate. I went on the 3rd to buy a pedestal I asked for it to be assembled.
They 1st told me the person that does the assembly is not in. I said it's fine I'll pay and collect the next day. Then the cashier didn't know how much the assembly fee is or how to load it. Then it was back and forth back and forth.
I went on the 4th to collect my pedestal the lady who carried it dropped it. I then asked for a new one as it had chips on it. I said I'll come the next day as it will be a rush because it's almost closing time.
I went back the Friday and it was closed because of a Covid case. No one phoned to advise.
I went now this evening and the guy just put it in my trolley.i just checked for chips around.when I got home the inside was taped as there's a big crack at the back and it was assembled wrong. What type of person would give a customer a damaged product?when I paid in full?
Even the service from all the floor staff was utterly poor.
I'm fuming of anger because I cannot understand how you can render such client services .

I made my December account payment in store due to the fact that I was in store at that time, but I usually make use of the *120*410# payment option via my phone.
The end of January came along and I made my January payment using the *120*410# option.
I received confirmation that my account will be debited within 5 working days.
Now, for the past 3 days, I have been getting sms'es stating that my account is almost R2000 overdue! What nonsense is this?
My December payment was made in store, my January payment was made using one of their "Handy" payment options and now they're claiming that I am 2 installments behind?
It is absolutely disgusting how this place exploits consumers.
It is not my problem if their payment options are ineffective. If they advertise that a certain payment option is available to make use of, they need to ensure that it works.
One of the reasons that I make use of it, is because it is supposed to be done within minutes and I do not have to worry after that.

Now when I try to reach them, they hang up in my ear?
This place is useless all over.

This is like the 4th time that I want to exchange cloths at Mr Price Lichtenburg at the mall and every time I go there they send me to the mr Price in town because they are off line, but if they are off line every time, why can you still pay your account and buy on your account and how is it that Mr Price in town and Mr Price home and sport are not off line?
are they really offline ore is it just a case that it is to much work to exchange and they are not really in the mood to help?

I just realized that Mr price has been charging me R50 every month for simcard
Kindly advise why am I being charged for something I did not sign for. I never received or told anything about simcard
Please revert to me soonest with clear clarity
Just so you know I have taken further action against mr price

Uncertain customer

Got a email stating my order of over R 3000 was delivered to me, although nothing was. Spoke to a consultant stating that a Xydo (might have the name incorrect) signed for it. Woo, how can they let someone other than the recipient sign for the order. So I assume Mr/

Good day

I would like to lay a complaint about a poor service I received at your store in Bethlehem . I made a laybye on October 2020 and on 2January 2021 I went to the store to pay up my parcel as I traveled from Kamhlushwa 600km to Bethlehem using my vehicle knowing that I will never be in Bethlehem anytime soon.

I found the machine offline and they said only cash is allowed, I had cash on my hand and still the manager failed to give my laybe and said there is nothing she can do. I had to travel back to Mpumalanga at Kamhlushwa location without my any help.
