Avoid doing business with Corné and old Pepper tree at all costs. Ordered a compactum from him in June. Several promises and tall tales blaming suppliers, load shedding and the courier for why the product was not finished. Eventually asked for our money back in September after which several more excuses followed. Have now had to resort to going the legal route as Corné is just blatantly lying about making payments. If you work hard for your money I would recommend you avoid doing business with skelm Corné as you will definitely lose your money.
Ordered and paid a deposit for a compactum from Corné on 27 July with the promise that he would deliver in two - three weeks. After two months of non-stop excuses and him being unable to even send a picture of the compactum, we realised he was a scam artist. Asked for our money back, and then the excuses started again. In total its been almost four months, and have resolved to take up legal action against him. Can only imagine he is doing this to a lot of people. Herewith a list of excuses used on us: • Bad weather so he can’t apply final coat of paint • Bad weather causing paint to take long to dry • As a result of bad weather paint made bubbles and he had to repaint • Can’t work on compactum due to load shedding • His choice of courier is unable to deliver to us (later directly confirmed with the courier that this was not the case) • Drawer bracket broke and he has to order a new heavy duty bracket • Suppliers do not have brackets • He is 3 hours drive away from warehouse and cannot complete the cupboard • They don’t work on Fridays so we can’t arrange for collection • He did not get a chance to drive to his workshop as he was busy with other work • Claimed to pay a full refund but insisted it would take 3 business days to reflect in my account • Claimed to pay a full refund but accidentally did not release the payment and therefore it did not show • Claimed that he could not pay us because he was owed money • Claimed the people that owed him money did not pay on time and he could not refund us If he has used any of them on you, dont waste your time any further. Start with legal procedings. Your money is gone. Happy For Corné to use this post to explain hi side of the story, but highly doubt he will.
