Avoid Old Peppertree furniture.

Ordered and paid for a compactum on the 24th of July.

Corné promised the project would be completed in two weeks.

After 2 months filled with excuses and Corné being unable to even send us a picture of the cupboard we eventually asked for a refund.

To date the refund has not been received as more excuses have followed.

Here with a list of excuses he has used on us. If he has used one or more of these with you be aware.

- 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

Now Corné is simply not paying and we have been forced to go the legal route.

He has switched off Reviews on his page, possibly to hide all the bad reviews. So take this as your warning not to do business with Old Peppertree Furniture.
