Customer Testimonials
At Winning Appliances we are always delighted to receive feedback from our customers about the experience they have had when shopping with us.
"I cannot tell you how good it was to hear those words"
Hi, I would very much like to thank all the staff at Winning Appliances Crows Nest. On Easter Thursday, my husband and I woke to find that our refrigerator was no longer working. With an 18th birthday party organized for the Monday, I was feeling pretty panicked. I called a number of Electrical Appliance stores to see if I could get a fridge delivered on Thursday and the only response I got was “Sorry Ma’am, we can’t help you.” When I called Winnings at Crows Nest and told them of my predicament, the receptionists reply was “I am sure we can do something to help you.” I cannot tell you how good it was to hear those words. And not only did they help me, but I had a new fridge delivered by that afternoon. So, thank you very much, for supplying such good customer service.
