Carrefour & The Avenues : Experience
Submitted by DA on Monday, 28 May 200759 Comments

Visited The Avenues & Carrefour last night. First impressions:
- Avenues is too expansive [big shops, big walkway] and too white, they need to add some colour to it
- I suggest they use diffuse color lights on the wave shapes that hang off the ceiling
- They might even use the same wave shapes for advertising by projecting ads
- The elevators have names(?)
- Parking isnt an issue as long as you are willing to walk from one end to the other, which is darn long if you have shopping bags
- Carrefour parking space sucks as everyone tries to wrestle in the lot under Carrefour
- Do not shop from Carrefour if you park under IKEA, long long pushing of shopping trolley involved
- The guards remind me of US embassy / Military Zone
- Carrefour has lots to offer in terms of goods but still a bit expensive than City Center(s)
- If you are looking for a quick bite while inside Carrrefour, avoid it from the snack-counter, it aint worth it
- Will I go back? Probably not unless I have to take a guest to show around, and its off the route for me
- Probably might go for movies

Dear Sir,
It is quite sometime since I registered email id of mine and my wife at the outside desk of your Avenues chain but till date I did not get any response from your office. I need to know if the current promotion of KD 1 and KD 0.500 per each item is over or extended for more time.
Thanks in advance for your prompt response.

Attention: Gen.Manager of Carrefour
Dear Sir;
I just want to inform you that on march 25 i did my grocery there in your store ( which i usually do every month since the day it was opened), i bought 4pcs of maxwell house 3 in 1 coffee mix pouch, we already used 2pcs 2days after that, when i about to open the 3rd one i accidentally noticed the exp.date 16/3/2010. I went to your store the following day and spoke to your supervisor and area manager. They simply told me that if there's nothing happened after you drink that coffee well there's no problem, we'll refund the 200fils (price of the items i bought) and it wont happen again. I dont like the way they answered my complain, maybe that is because i am expat they hanlded it as a simple mistake, no harm done, no need to inform to the management. But if that happened to a citizen, they would probably handled it differently. Im living in riggae that's why carrefour is accessible to us, but i rather go back to the supermarket where i usually do my groceries before.
good
I signed up to recieve your promotion details by email almost 1 yr ago… still no response.
fuck this company all the staff are still suffering until now no increament big bullshit……
I purchased NOKIA X2 from Carrefour Kuwait Avenues through transaction number 2700500357786 only yesterday at 11:00 pm and once installed started the phone it stopped recognizing sim card within an hour. When contacted the customer service today. The customer service instead of replacing the faulty instrument, handed over a service order and asked to contact on telephone. What is my sin to suffer for a faulty piece of mobile phone sold to me. I spent KD2/- transport and one hour within 20 hours of purchase and the customer service did not have courtesy to simply replace. Is there anybody in Carrefour management to solve this problem. I think CARREFOUR Kuwait is not same as in the developed world. It is better to buy mobile phones from MOBILE 2000 they seem to respond to customer complaints more professionally.
