Like, they *say* they have “Quality Big Name Brand Footwear at the Best Possible Prices.” Okay, cool. Everyone says that, though. It’s marketing fluff, ain’t it? Then you see stuff about “high-risk activity” on their website. What’s *that* all about?! Sounds a bit dodgy, if you ask me. Like, are they cutting corners somewhere? Are those “best possible prices” coming at the expense of, y’know, *real* sneakers?
And then there’s the Pepkor thing. This is where it gets messy. Pepkor (Steinhoff Africa Retail, whatever) is apparently telling Mr. Tekkie what he *can’t* sell. Like, why? Is it because they’re trying to flood the market with their own, potentially substandard, stuff? Or are they genuinely trying to stop the sale of something *fake*? Who even knows anymore? It’s a total head-scratcher.
I saw one person complained about being sold a fake sneaker and only getting a voucher. Seriously? A VOUCHER?! Talk about adding insult to injury! If you bought a fake, you deserve a refund, not store credit to buy *more* possibly fake shoes. That’s just… ugh. And the waiting for 30 minutes while they were trying to what? Cover up? Find a “policy” that conveniently screws the customer? Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
Honestly, the reviews aren’t exactly glowing either. A 1.1-star rating? Ouch. That’s like… catastrophically bad. And the swearing at a kid?! What in the world?! Okay, that’s probably just one bad apple employee, but still, it paints a picture, doesn’t it?
