At this point you'd think they'd have the basics right.

Ordering from Makro is fine if it's in their store. If it's a 3rd party it falls apart. My order was split and the stuff they had in store was delivered no problem. 3rd party. Not so much.

I get the message yesterday that it's been packed. Happy days. Cut to this morning when I get a call from Ster Kinekor asking why 2 guys from DSV are there to collect for me. Of course I have no idea so after some digging they're there from Masstores. So I ask the guys what's up and they're told they were given that address to collect my order. Obviously none of us know what's going on, so we hang up. 10 minutes later, another call from some other company. Same guys, but the company neither knows who they're there to see nor do they supply what I ordered.

So, of course, I email Makro to find out why I'm dealing with their business. I mean I ordered from them and then I get the order. That's where my part of the transaction starts and ends. I get an email back saying I'll get a response from a feedback team. 8 hours left I have neither heard from any feedback team nor had any clarity on my delivery. I've emailed them twice since and it's radio silence.

If you're trying to compete with other online retailers, you're going to have to do better than this. This is amateur hour.

And more than a day has passed and despite asking for feedback I've yet to hear anything from Makro. All I can say is that I pity anyone who orders from Makro for Black Friday or Christmas. If they can't get it right now there's no hope for peak season.

These companies all think they're slick replying privately. Nope, sorry. Here's Makro's response. And considering that I've not gotten the original feedback promised, I'm not putting much stake in this. It shouldn't take publicly complaining to get service.

"Thank you for your review on our Hellopeter platform and we do apologize for the inconvenience caused.

We take all our customer requests seriously and assure you that this matter will be our priority.

Kindly note that we will contact the relevant management for assistance and will be sure to revert with feedback.

We understand how critical we are in the role of supporting you and will definitely be implementing solutions to ensure that this issue does not occur in the future.

Please be advised that feedback will be provided.

I hope you find the above in order."

As an update. Delivery has been completed which this was never actually about. The issue was the unprofessional handling of it. And for the record "...we will contact the relevant management for assistance and will be sure to revert with feedback" has never happened so "...this matter will be our priority." is patently false.

All I can say is if you're planning on ordering anything from Makro over the next couple of months, best of luck to you. I, for one, will not.
