Discovery

For the second time in just about as many months, I am struggling to have my chronic meds delivered. My recent order through the MedExpress platform (order submitted and confirmed on 2 Feb- Ref MX000F923Q) has still not been delivered. And that is almost a week late! It is not the 1st time....and that is frustrating. So, I chatted to Bianca via the Discovery app, she contacted Karin at Dischem Direct or MedExpress or whatever, and I was promised the chronic medication would be delivered TODAY. I also phoned Karin, and she promised me the same thing. No medication has been delivered, despite these promises. So, what do I do now having run out of medication? Absolute pathetic service delivery. And no one gives me a solution- just the 'we apologize for the inconvenience'....non-personal jargon. And every time it is up to me to frantically phone around trying to figure out what I need to do.,...So I try and phone again now (4.56pm) getting the 'our office hours are only until 4.30pm.... useless trying to chase after medication. So please do not contact me to offer your apologies. Contact me to give me a real solution, please.

Ja sure. Investigate for days while I have no meds. And tell me you are sorry for the inconvenience. And get me to phone MedExpress where Karin is always on a tea break and can't speak to anyone. And then tell me to go to Dischen and collect the meds as Medexpress will cancel this order. And tell me I will have no issues at Dischem. So I drive to Dische and they tell me exactly the opposite. Month after month. And then get to phone Discovery again only to be told you will leave a message for Medexpress to phone me. And then tell me that there is a significant backlog of orders by Medexpress and I just have to sit and wait.....what would you do if you were on the receiving end of this day after day after day....but we value your business Francois....WE care for your health....but you are just another number at the end of the day....

Then still- 1 phone call from Discovery promising to call me back.....still waiting...11 days now. No chronic medication and no concrete answer. Typical....
