Bad service

I am super frustrated with Makro. I bought a hoover handheld vacuum for R1300 for one of my friends who uses it to clean cars and when we used it for the first time the machine made a funny noise and started to heat up. It was returned on the 29th of November and the purchase was made 2 November. In terms of the Consumer Protection Act I am entitled to a refund. They said they first have to send it to the manufacturer and can only refund the money in 21 WORKING DAYS. This is unacceptable. The contract was with Makro. They sold a defective product. We need a new handheld vacuum today not in 21 working days.

I just want to add that I have given the money to Ornella Ngalula to buy the vacuum cleaner, since her husband will use it to clean cars to make extra money on the side. I have a copy of the slip and can email it to you if you give me your email address. The unique ref on the slip is: ***11 2021. It is Hoover 15.5V Hand Vacuum Cleaner. I see the slip is dated 4 November 2021. The slip also refers to a 30 day returns policy. His fitness business closes over December and he was hoping that he could make extra money to make up for the income he will lose over December. That is why we cannot wait 21 working days for a new vacuum cleaner. So please can you arrange that they get a refund or that we can exchange it for a different machine...
