Still waiting for my refund

I am beyond frustrated with Game store service. I placed an order on the 31st of January 2026 purchasing a refrigerator.My order was cancelled on the 1st of February was sent an email stating that my refund is being processed on the 1st of February and that it will take 3-5 days for the money to reflect in my account .

on the 5th of February I contacted their customer care line where they requested my banking details .I asked them why they are requesting for my banking 5 days later whereas after they cancelled my order they stated that they are processing the refund .

16 days later I am still waiting for my refund .I had to use my saving to buy the fridge somewhere else as it was an urgent matter .

I need my money back as in today .I have been patient enough and borrowing money from people where as I have money that is kept by Game store and I dnt know for what reason cause when you cancel an order the money must reflect on the same day like other company such as Makro.

and what ****es me more is the fact that they keep on telling me that their team will give me feedback and 16 days later there is no feedback and I need my money back.

How can you tell me that the refund has been processed today where as on the 1st of February i was told that it is processed and when i call on the 5th they also told me that they have processed my refund .

and now you are telling me that the process only has been started again today?

So basically you are telling me now that i need to wait again starting today for your TAT WHICH 7/15 days ???

Hi Zizipho, I can understand your frustration. Please note with Capitec bank we would have to do a manual refund as we do not have systems to automatically refund you.

Refund Amount: R6,299.00Processed On: 01-02-2026"

That is what they said on thursday last week

"I completely understand your frustration regarding the delay with your refund, especially since you urgently need the funds to purchase another fridge. I have made a follow‑up with the team. The team will be in touch with you as soon as possible with an update. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and the poor experience you’ve had — this is not the level of service we want to provide.
Thank you again for your patience while we work on resolving this matter urgently."


And I have still not received any feedback !

and this thing is going around i circle Game keeps on making me a fool while they keeping my money for no reasons. I should have bought at Makro that is a company that know what they are doing when they cancel your order they refund you back your money into your account within an hour, something that Game is failing to do all that you are good at is busy Telling me about TAT THAT HAS PASSED LONG TIME AGO !

I WANT MY MONEY !'
