I would like to express my deepest dissatisfaction with the appalling
customer service demonstrated by the staff of your store in Swindon
Greenbridge.
My wife and I came to the store on her birthday, the 9th of February,
as she wanted to buy a Kenwood KMC030 machine. We spoke to the sales
consultant Lance, who talked us through the features, and completed
the finance application form when we agreed to it.
The store didn't have the machine in the warehouse (even though the
Google Shopping site shows it as Limited Stock), and only had the demo
model. So Lance told us he would order the machine and it would be in
the store on Sunday, the 14th.
My wife is really into cooking, and she really wanted the machine
sooner rather than later. However we agreed to wait until Sunday to
get the machine (pick it up from the store). We were promised a call.
Sunday came, and no calls came with it. So at about 3pm we decided to
visit the store to pick up the machine. However, when we arrived, we
were given no machine whatsoever. And no apology for not informing us
of the delay either. We were only told the machine would be available
on Tuesday the 16th.
Needless to say, today, on Tuesday, no calls were made by Currys to
inform us of the status of the order. So my wife, again, came to the
store to pick the machine up. Needless to say, she could not do it as
the machine was simply not there. More than that, when she arrived
into the shop, she saw Lance, who, having seen her, quickly
disappeared in the rear of the showroom.
My wife has now been to the shop 3 times, and was told the machine
would be there on Thursday, the 18th. We have been deeply disappointed
by the lack of communication, false promises, expectations which were
not met.
We would like the machine ASAP, meaning RIGHT NOW. I can not believe
such a big retailer as Currys is unable to source it from another
store or supplier / manufacturer.
We would like an official apology from the general manager of Currys
Greenbridge, Swindon, for appalling customer service provided by their
staff.
