Ackermans High-Quality Appliances at Ackerman's Appliance

I recently purchased a new kitchen appliance from Ackerman's Appliance, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff was incredibly helpful in guiding me to the perfect appliance that suited my needs. The installation service was efficient and professional, making the whole process seamless. I highly recommend Ackerman's Appliance for anyone looking for top-notch appliances and excellent customer service.

I bought a pair of slippers for my daughter from the Retail Park (East London) store this morning. At 14h00 we went in to change the very small size 3 for a size 4. The two cashiers available during this busy lunch period were both busy with customers who were with them for AT LEAST twenty minutes each. The manageress, Odette, walked past us in the queue...

Ackermans Popi act. Non compliant. And harrasment

On 24.05.24 I went to pick up my layby at Ackermans Diamond Pavilion.

One cashier asked my number for her colleague (Lionel), where I said NO.

She then asked if that is my cell number on the layby pick up slip. I responded and said if you dare take my number it is against the POPI Act and I will lay a formal complaint.

She continued by giving my number to her colleague who continues to call and harrass me, sending text and I hate this. I am even scared to set foot and pay my account or pick up my other layby. I too work in the same complex and fear for my safety.

Ackermans Magnet not remove from shop

I made a lay-by at the Ackermans store. I made the final payment to receive my lay-by and sent it to Mpumalanga for my daughter. I found out that they hadn't removed the magnet. Then I went to the nearest shop similar to the one I bought and I requested the proof of purchase slip. Unfortunately, I misplaced the slip but I thought they could help me because the tag price was not removed.

They refused to help me and I decided to go back to where I bought the clothes but still, I was not helped and was told that it no longer appeared in their system. As a result, I'm stuck with these clothes that have not remove magnets.

I am not happy with the device because it is unable to fulfil a primary need to receive calls and I would like to get a refund please.

Ackermans Refund of layby that I made

Goodday sir/madam

I mildred matshoi id [protected] is complaining about ackermans in matlosana mall, klerksdorp. I did make a laybye at that store.. For my kids, but due to circumstances and finincial problems I won't be able to continue with the laybye. Everytime I would go to the store to want refund they would just tell me that the system is offline and that they can't at the moment. It is now my 3td attempt to go to the store and with no help.. Always the same story.. Am very angry because the distance to drive to the store is very far and cost me alot of petrol. I really feel that the service is very poor.. And need your intervention.. I want my refund please.

I bought the tablet last week of August 2023 and was very excited until it only worked for less than 15days. It just went off just like that then I took it back to the store where they said they'll book it for repair. They did book it and then called me to give me feedback that my tablet was gonna be replaced instead of being repaired but I was concerned...

I'm being over charged at Ackerman's I don't why and for what the last time I took things at Ackerman's was the day I opened the account with them I then paid it fully but now I keep receiving messages from them that I must pay a certain amount and I didn't take anything since I paid it so what exactly is it that I'm paying this is really annoying coz my name will be in bad records which is something I was avoiding hence I paid it so please help and explain why this occurs if I knew that this is how they operate I shouldn't have opened it at all other credit providers when you don't owe them your balance won't increase if there's nothing you buying and Ackerman won't let me take things so I pay for what I don't know they ripping me off

Ackermans Customer service

Hi, i recently lay-byed a few items from Ackermans Douglas branch and when i went to return one of the items which was on sale, they said that i could only get something to the value of R50 because the item was further marked down from R179.95 to R50 and because i didn't have the invoice stating the prices of the items, they couldn't give me the same amounts worth of items... i do have the receipt that they gave my husband when he collected my laybye (they did not hive him the other receipt with the prices on) and they probably can see on the system when i made the laybye and how much was paid. The price tag is also still on the item. I am very disappointed, it's daylight robbery. How can i lose R130 worth of money? #angry

Desired outcome: I dont want my money back, i just need an item to the same value as paid for on the laybye!
