Dreadful service from CARREFOUR

By serdal

I bought a new vacuum cleaner a couple of months ago from Carrefour at City Centre Mall. I bought a Carrefour brand one.
Yesterday I attempted to buy some dust bags at the same branch (- it uses disposable paper type). I was told they do not carry such items...even for their own brand machines. The best they could do was to advise the name of a little shop whom they suggested stocked them. Regretably when I visited there this morning, I was told he has no such stock nor knowledge of what bag type the Carrefour machines use.
I have no idea what to try next

would be to order them off the internet and have them shipped by aramex. This happens over and over here.

But will be a rebadged version of another brand. As a previous post, check the size and shape of your bag against whatever they have on the shelf.

LOL!

yeah, i can buy a soap or sth that i know i'd use anyway rather than electronic.

serdal, i'd suggest checking if some other brand wld fit for ur vacuum cleaner?

maybe u cld buy a dust bag that can be simple emptied out and re-used?

good luck!

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.

You will find this will happen to you very often that the vacuum supplier does not have the diposable bags.

I get mine across from the Al Hambra Restaurant there is an electrical shop there. Try they might have them for you.
