Disgusting customer service
🥹🥹Oh What bad service by Makro, I initially placed an order on-line (Your Makro Online order MAK***), one of the items on the order is a school backpack for my son. When placing the order it was accepted and processed only to get a message before delivery that the item is out of stock(which online did not specify to that it was sold out)... I was not happy so I called the contact centre and got a very *********** agent who argued with me instead of apologising and offering a solution. Fast forward the other item was delivered and still the bag did not show as sold out online.
I went online again to look for an alternative backpack for my son and located a replacement and placed another order (Your Makro Online order MAK***) only for Makro to deliver an incorrect item and not the ordered bag.
I just do not understand what processes do they use to make sure they deliver on their promise and I am wondering if this business is properly ran and has the correct, trained staff employed to service customers.
I am so disgusted with the service and feel that we are not appreciated as customers.
I have been a custodian of Sales and Customer service myself and know that this is any businesses' important function but at Makro it seems like nobody is taking this very serious.
What a shame.

Hi Ntokozo
Thanks for your email.
When will the incorrect item be collected? Also to note that the item was delivered to me in its box and inside The Courier Guy plastic bag which I will re-use for the return.
Re my original order and the correct item, when can I expect that? I have now waited for 5 days for this item and have yet to receive it. Your email does not mention anything about the correct item, and this is now a real inconvenience for me as this was not my fault, but Makro or whoever was careless enough to ship the incorrect item to me. As a long time Makro loyal customer, I expect that the correct item be shipped to me urgently. I wanted to use it for a party we have for the kids this coming weekend, and it seems that this will now not happen.
Regards, Gerard
