Poor service and attitude by the cashier
This incident occurred on Sunday, where I picked up a few items to buy, of these items, one was from a bargain bin, which had been marked down. Obviously before I pick up a item and decide to take it, I look at the price to see if it is reasonable, in that way - I knew the price of all items. So I went to the counter, and let them scan the items and the total appeared, which I then paid for, then I thought to myself that the total does not appear to be correct, so I checked the till slip and discovered that 2 of the 4 items (that is 50% of my purchases) had gone through at incorrect prices, after which I told the cashier that it was incorrect, she was rude and did not believe me, and made me go fetch or prove that it was the incorrect price, after I went to the shelves and took the prices from the shelves, to prove the cashier that they were incorrect, she did not even say sorry or look sorry or say anything, the manger came there to assist with the refund vouchers and she did not even say sorry, was blady rude in my eyes, we then waited for about 20 - 30mins to get the refunds. if i did not look at my slip, they would have fraudulently made extra money off me. 3RD WORLD SERVICE.

Thanks for a bad shopping experience Builders
We went shopping at Strubensvalley Builders, looking for bathroom fitting. Having decided on our selection from the display boards - some which do not have prices or fitting on - we looked for a sales person to assist.

We waited for 10minutes at the counter, they even paged a person, but no-one came to help. Eventually we were quite a few people waiting. No sales person. We left and I told the 'manager' that their services sucked, she just shrugged and turned around.

We left and decided to spend our R6000 somewhere else. So thanks for nothing Builders. I do not think you will see my again!

Bad service, bad attitude and unmannered
The ongoing problem with most of the staff at the builders warehouse group is rediculis. The staff do not help you when asked and even when the manager or supervisor requests them to help the clients they still sit on their backsides and do not respond.When they are confronted and asked a question they respond by turning to the person next to them and continue to talk in their own language. This is a warning to other contractors that if you want service and a better price, buy else where.

Inferior quality product plus bad attitude
On Sat 31009 I had the most unpleasant experience of returning an item to BW- Northgate Island. I purchased a (pricey!) drying rack from BW in the winter of 2008, for which I unfortunately did not keep the receipt. It was only used during extremely wet weather and this winter it simply snapped! A year after purchase!

I explained the predicament and asked for the rack to either be replaced or fixed or failing that, to please assist me in fixing it. I was informed that they would contact the supplier and get back to me on Mon. Needless to say I was NOT contacted. I then phoned on Monday 1210 and after much toing and froing a manager named Arthur proceeded, in a most offensive tone of voice to say there was nothing he could do.He said the last time they had stocked this item was over 2yrs ago- well I was living in the UK up until last year so this is a blatant lie! I was also told they had discontinued this product due to its inferior quality! How then is it possible to acknowledge the inferiority of a product your shop sells but then in the same breath to not honour a customer who comes back with this inferior product?? Im most upset at this unprofessional conduct!

Do not buy any products from Builders warehouse
I am a volunteer at a Crisis Centre for abused women and children and we have received a donation of money to renovate our creche. We got a quote from Builders warehouse and our donor made the payment on the 16.09.09 from a Nedbank Account into Builders Warehouse Nedbank account. I called yesterday to confirm the payment and faxed thru the confirmation as well. I was not contacted. I called this morning to discover they cannot confirm payment and cannot accept my proof of payment! i called though out the day and was told the same over and over. i asked for their head office no and spoke to a kind lady Buqulwa who confirmed the payment with me and the sales consultant. The sales consultant advised we need to wait for them to fax the confirmation to him! After endless calls to today I eventually got my products. My driver had to wait for 45 minuters before he could take delivery however my money was accepted yesterday?? Their manager Johan is incompetent and ubrupt and was not aware of the situation and was not interested either! no wonder his staff is so incompetent! I spent R3137.85 and received no service!! Do not buy any products from Builders warehouse parow!!

Incompetent service - again
I have two 48 kg gas canisters that I no longer need and want to return. These were previously bought from both Builders Warehouse and Mica - phoned Mica to get an idea of what deposit refund I will get, got through immediately and an immediate answer - phoned Builders Warehouse, had to phone three times (they seemingly simply ignore the phone), when finally through to Joseph, kept me hanging for two minutes while he had to 'check' with whoever, hummed and hawed and finally said he will get Tom to phone me (which, on past experience, is unlikely to happen).

Why is it so difficult to deal with Builders warehouse? Do they deliberately instill poor service behaviour in their staff?

Stay away from Builders Warehouse
I went to Builders Warehouse Northgate to get some Plascon paint samples, only to be told that they do not have paint samples and that I needed to buy the 1l paint to test. The 1l is R99.99 and that would mean that I would need to pay in excess of R1000.00 to test the paint colour. I think that is very unfortunate, as I would have purchased all the paint from there, but now I will on principle be going elsewhere for the exterior and interior paint for my home.
