Bad experience with Fennels Walmer Branch

Letters to the Editor

Dear MyPE Would like to inform the public. We bought a brand new gas stove from Fennels Walmer and asked what they would charge for delivery and the sales lady said it was free. The wrong stove (cheaper unit) was delivered. We then contacted them and the manager/owner then brought the correct stove but it was the demo from the showroom floor. No apology was given and when my husband informed him that the wrong unit's box said Gamtoos he was told "what ever". Most unfriendliest manager/owner. We then asked for a discount because we got a demo unit from from the showroom floor, we were told …
