Incredible Connection

Good day, I have decided to express my utter disgust and disappointment with Incredible Connection here on Facebook since Incredible Connection didn鈥檛 give us a chance to state our side of the story. As I am sure some of you have recently received an e-mail from Incredible Connection that the item(s) you ordered before the lockdown commenced could not be delivered / supplied because the item was erroneously added to the website with the wrong price. Now I understand that this can happen, but when such an error is discovered the customer should be notified immediately not almost two weeks later. My boyfriend and I ordered an ASUS Dual GTX 1660 SOC graphics card on 23 March 2020 that was listed on their website for R 1 919.00 (incl. VAT) with limited stock available a few minutes before the lockdown was even announced. After hearing that our country will go into a nationwide lockdown, we accepted that the item would not be delivered until the lockdown has lifted. Yesterday, 8 April 2020 at 15:31 PM, we received the following email: 鈥淕ood day Valued Customer Hope this mail finds you well. We confirm that Incredible Connection is a brand wholly owned by the JD Group, a subsidiary of Pepkor Trading (Pty) Ltd, and that this response is addressed to you on behalf of Incredible Connection. Please note that all our terms and conditions at the JD Group are subject to the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA) and in no way override or circumvent any rights a customer may have in terms thereof. An error occurred on the Incredible Connection website, which resulted in a product Asus Graphic Cards Black being sold to yourself at the incorrect pricing 鈥?Unfortunately this was a clear and blatant error on our website and we will not be able to honour the product at the discounted price paid. Firstly, please accept our sincere apologies for the obvious disappointment this error may have caused you 鈥?Although we have processes in place to prevent these mistakes from happening and catching these errors before going to print, on occasion mistakes do happen and we apologise for this impacting on you. Any monies paid over to Incredible Connection for this transaction, will be reversed back to the card that made the payment and refunded in full. If you have made payment via EFT , please respond to this mail with your Order number and banking details. We regret this error and would once again like to apologise for the disappointment this may have caused you. Please accept a R150 voucher that will be loaded onto your profile. Should you however not be satisfied with our answer in this regard, you may contact the Consumer Goods and Services Ombudsman (CGSO) on 0860 000 272 or www.cgso.org.za, who will investigate the matter and advise accordingly.鈥?Outraged, we responded the next day via an e-mail that stated our dissatisfaction and that we do not want a refund and we do not accept the voucher. We want the item we ordered and paid for at the listed / advertised amount with reference to Section 30 of the Consumer Protection Act. On Hello Peter we saw various posts that contained the same frustrations that we have experienced for various products. I should also say that in our response e-mail we stated that we will contact the Ombudsman and post to Hello Peter and Facebook. I do not know if they have read our e-mail or not but a few hours after we sent our response, we received an e-mail from Incredible Connection that stated the following: 鈥淎s per your request, we cancelled and refunded you. Your money should reflect in your bank account within 5 鈥?10 working days.鈥?We did not request for a refund and we did not use the voucher and we never will because this is unacceptable. I also want to mention that this didn鈥檛 just happen to a few other strangers as well, but to a few friends of ours who also ordered the same item we did, and they too received the same e-mail. They have already lodged complaints with the Ombudsman and ours is soon to follow. I will never shop at Incredible Connection again nor recommend anyone to do business with them.

You purchase an item online and they take 3 weeks to deliver. I phoned them up after 3 weeks because they did not communicate anything to me, and they told me that they have no stock. They have a complaint email but no one replies and their call centre is useless. I asked for a refund but they take 4 days to put my request through. I would not recommend purchasing from them.

Bad service and very unprofessional. I purchased an order online 2 weeks ago and I still have not received it, every time I call I am notified that someone senior will call me back but they never do. They don鈥檛 respond to emails. I will never recommend anyone to use them ever. Very disappointed
