12 out of 21 ITEMS CANCELLED

I live in a rural village in the Karoo and buy most of my stuff on-line.

Unlike other on-line stores, when you order a stock item from Makro it does not mean that it will be delivered! In stock means nothing!

Makro have cancelled items in 9 out my 10 last orders. All “in stock” items otherwise I would not have been able to add them to my basket.

Makro does not warn you when they cancel items that you have ordered and paid for. They simply send you a standard email stating: "Apologies for the inconvenience. We had to cancel some items in your order, either at your request or due to stock unavailability despite our efforts." Yes, Makro, I do rely on the items that I order. Why would I order them if I didn’t need them? It is very inconvenient when you cancel an item.

Usually Makro cancel one item from the order.

This time Makro cancelled 12 out of the 21 items which I ordered.

I cannot wait for Amazon.com to start on-line sales in SA! Hopefully they will deliver all the items which I order.
