Bought a blouse and paid cash for the item. Came back the following day to exchange for a different item. The store had to refund me R100, which they don't have. I was asked to walk around for 1hour imagine that🙄 went back and was told, wait another 30min pispoor service?
I had an issue which the owner at this store dealt with speedily and satisfactorily.
I was very impressed with the level of attention my complaint got and the commitment by management to investigate and do better.
Remarkable response from a business owner who clearly takes client's experiences to heart and strives to deliver a topnotch service.
Visited 8 Nov 2023 at around 1:30.

We wanted to to buy 3 items on the 75% discount rail, but when I got to the till the full
Price was charged.

After querying this with the teller, she went to check and confirm it was last years stock and should have been discounted.

She called the supervisor, who also checked, but said that all 3 items must have been misplaced .. even though he couldn’t find a rail where the rest of the stock is. It were single items.

It couldn’t have been misplaced.

The manager refused to honour the discount, and said he will follow up - but did not take any of my details.

His attitude was really shocking

The teller apologised afterwards.

Really not a good customer experience today at Ackermans.

Probably won’t go back there again.
Classic styles for young and mature ladies.
Friendly Staff and willing to assist. Keep it up.

Just bought something at the store and found the Manageress very unhelpful and rude as there was a problem with all your card machines. Was not a pleasant experience.

I bought a dress just yesterday and Chantal's customer service was truly wonderful! She was so kind and helpful. What a lovely sales assistant!
Got nothing bad to say about this store. Do baby shop here
I can always rely on finding something for my taste in clothing at Contempo
Shop is clean
Couldn't find sizes I wanted, they are not available online either.
Need more attendants on floor.
Queue at cashiers was not too bad
I just experienced shocking customer service. I was with my cousin helping her find matric ball dresses and had wanted to take a smaller size in a dress that she liked to the room that she was in. I greeted the fitting room lady (pictured) and told her that I was taking a different size to my cousin. I walked on and she shouted HELLO to me, gave me a very dirty look and shoved a tag at me. I saw that a different lady had done the same thing and she was treated very differently.
Amber was so lovely and helpful. She helped us find the most beautiful dresses for my bridesmaids!
Worst experience shopping online! None of the contact numbers work, it has taken more than a week and my handbag is still not delivered. The courier company keeps putting the phone down and Forever New just doesn’t reply to emails or answer their phones.
Would be great if they kept kids white school tekkies throughout the year.
The staff are friendly and helpful and the store is nice and clean
It's amazing how this store is still standing with such pathetic service and cashier skills are terrible. Horrible, horrible experience!
I didnt particularly find what i was looking for but the staff were friendly and helpful
Hi, ibwas looking for a dress for my daughter's mateic dance. I had already given up looking until i was passing your store and one dress cought my eye. I brought my daughter to the store and she lived it. Wore it on her big day and was so happy. I was also happy with my purchase. Thank ypu Forever New. I give you 5 golden stars
My Anywhoo's...firstly, I am not a Forever new person. HOWEVER 😏 ... IF your style for the most part resembles that of Jackie 'O' then getting your coats from Forever New is a must! OMW🤭 I am completely inlove with my coats🧥 . They are pricey, R2k but definitely worth it. Further to that, the staff are quite warm and friendly. So👍...and until next time...😉
Great customer service.

They have more stock for children under the age of 8. If you are looking for clothes for those who are above. Hai go to another Ackermans somewhere.
Absolutely pathetic. Waited in a que at cashier's for more than 30 min while there were only 2 cashiers and each assisting a customer. Only 3 people waiting in the qué. The cashier on the fat right was having a tea party and family get together with the 6 people that was part of her customer.
The rest of was just had to wait in the que. The other cashier was busy filling in forms with a customer.
No really Ackerman's step it up. Do u not have managers that can jack up these issues?
Poorly staffed and always a long wait. Not enough cashiers, and staff couldn't care less about people waiting. One of the worst Pep stores I've been to.
I called the store yesterday to enquire about their scarves i have seen online. I needed to know if they had the one in store. I spoke to Nadine - she was so helpful and friendly. They did not have the scarf i was looking for. Nadine then went the extra mile to send me pictures of what they had in store in order to save me the trip should i not like what was there. She then put aside the scarf i liked and arranged with Shameez to assist me the this morning when I collect it. Shameez was very helpful and also assisted in neatly wrapping the gift.

Absolutely awesome service! Thank you so much Nadine and Shameez!

Customer friendly ❤️❤️
Nice and neat shop
Very friendly staff
Fair prices

Unfortunately the Air-condition is too much of which is controlled by their center management. It’s very freezing in there.

Yandi the shop supervisor was kind enough to to call the center manager to reduce the temperature but still it felt like walking in a Freezer.

Otherwise a great place to shop for your kiddies
Store is small and cramped and they didn't have the bag I found online, but the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Service was exceptional, super friendly staff will definitely be returning!

Pathetic, you pay R500 for a dress imported from China. The same dress can probably be found on Whish at less than half the price! The stichting is a disgrace! And the poor quality is all over the shop! Our local shops has much better quality clothing made locally!
One of my favorite shops!! I seldom walk out not having bought something. The prices are most reasonable for quality items.

Excellent service. Thank you so much for being so patient with us❤️
Moet net nooit n pakkie deur hulle stuur nie dit vat meer as dubbel die tyd om by die bestemming te kom. As jy kwaad word daar oor is hulle antwoord- jy moet hulle respekteer
Friendly, professional staff always willing to help.

I love Contempo. They sell high quality clothes at reasonable prices. There is also always specials and nice bargains on display. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Lanklaas sulke goeie en professionele diens ontvang.
I was looking for my graduation dress. I asked for a size 16 unfortunately they did not have. So I took the size 14 to check, because the dress seem like a big make. When I asked for the fitting room the lady told me from the on go it won't fit, after she whispered in Afrikaans to her colleague . I was so disappointed I just walked away. Judging from my body structure the dress would not really fit only if I had big bust.
Excellent prices on everyday clothes.
