Beware of Makro online- they ***** your money and don't send you the product

I ordered Lagavulin 16YO Whisky 750ml (for my fiance as a gift), plastic cups and paper plates. In my order I received the cups and plates but not the whisky (which cost over R1000). The courier said "oh he saw there was another item for me he'll look and drop it off", but never came back. That was on Wednesday. Now on Friday, having not received any product or update, I get an sms telling me my order is cancelled. Nothing from Makro, not even a "we'll refund you". Just NOTHING except that my order has been cancelled. They just took my money and I have not gotten the product I paid for. I tried to call their help line which just tells you to chat to their bot on whatsapp! I am disgusted with this useless service, and that they have ****** my money!!!!

Reviewer Update
I finally got the whisky I ordered, described as coming "in a gift box", and bearing in mind it was supposed to be a gift for my fiancé, the box is completely dented and squashed, and the corners damaged. It's certainly not in giftable condition. Just poor service followed by a poor product. Do not use Makro online, if you do eventually get your product you don't know what condition it'll be received in.
