“Sorry, $30 for two sausages and potato mash and sauce was really a $15 meal. Some greens at least would help. The sausage was of less quality . While plenty of potato mash was there to fill the plate, that was it. No balance in the meal at all. Won’t order again.”
“arassment & Invalid Charges — Ongoing Unresolved Dispute
I am lodging this complaint publicly as Edgars, RCS, and Edgars Club have failed to resolve a long-standing dispute regarding invalid charges on my account.
My Edgars Club Card was cancelled many years ago, yet unexplained fees continue to be reflected on my account. We have never been provided with the original invoice supporting these charges, and we fully dispute their validity.
Despite having kept the account up to date until recently, we are now being harassed with approximately five collection calls every single day from various agents — a clear violation of the Consumer Protection Act and National Credit Act.
I have repeatedly informed Edgars and RCS that this account is under investigation and that the unauthorised fees must be reversed. Once these incorrect charges are removed, our account will actually reflect a credit balance.
I am now forced to lodge this complaint publicly after numerous ignored emails and continued harassment. We demand that Edgars and RCS:
✅ Immediately cease all collection calls and harassment
✅ Conduct a full reconciliation of the account and reverse all invalid charges
✅ Provide written confirmation of the above actions
If this is not resolved without further delay, we will escalate the matter to the National Credit Regulator, the Consumer Goods & Services Ombud, and pursue further legal avenues.
This is an unacceptable way to treat loyal customers — I expect a prompt and professional resolution.”
“After 48 yrs with edgars it is now a nightmare trying to close a paid up account since rcs is involved. Numerous mails dinge help even with proof of zero balance. I would not recommend anyone to open an account with them.”
“Very very happy customer. I went to Edgar's canal walk to buy the ordinary skin care brand. The gent, his name I think os Lele assisted me. Telling me what to use. How to use the product. Writing down when to use in am or pm etc. Fantastic customer service from him. I started using the products the Friday evening after I bought it. Today is Monday. 3 days I have been using it and I notice a change in my skin. All thanks to Lele.”

“Bought several items online. Did not deliver two items but charged my account. Then credited the one item and after more than a month no credit for the second item. They also delivered Pierre Cardin tekkies that I have not ordered. I notified them of all the mistakes and yes the tekkies they come to fetch but still no credit for the item not received. And I have contacted them several times”
“My name is Lorraine and I’m disgusted and unsatisfied with my account that I have had for over 30 years with no complaints until recently. I have been asking questions through different consultants and they have no answers to my questions. How possible that my credit it can be 28000,00 while I qualified for 7000? Who authorized 28000,00 without my permission? I still have no answers because I have been paying since and to my surprise the debt it never reduces instead it goes up. My last purchase was on 2016 of a phone that’s worth 3400? How did you come up with 28000,00 when I have agreement with Edgars of R7000 in 2016? How do you exceed our agreement without my consent? Then Edgards have the nerve to put me on collection after one of the consultants promised to write off that debt?”
“If there was an option to give this zero star I would have gone for it
This store is a total scam
I've settle my account time and time again but they get to charge for services which I went to the store and canceled. But still charge me for them! Edgar I trash!”
