Frustrating Experience: No Refund After Canceled Order

I placed an online order with Makro on 26/03/2025, but about five minutes later, I realised I had mistakenly used an address from a different province. I immediately canceled the order and reordered the same items to the correct address. The following day, I received an email with an update. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed that they had split the order into two parts (1.1 and 1.2), and I had only canceled 1.1. I contacted them by phone, and they informed me that since the order was already with the courier, I should simply refuse delivery when it arrived. On 01/04/2025, when the courier came, I followed their advice and refused the delivery. However, later that same day, at approximately 17:16, I received an email stating that my Makro order had been successfully delivered. At 17:22, I sent them an email to query this and followed up with another email on 08/04/2025. To date, I have not received any response from them, and they have still not refunded me. To their credit, I have been an online customer since 2021, and this is the first time I have experienced issues with them—aside from the recurring nuisance of being able to place an order only to be informed later that the item is out of stock.

On 11 April, I was told that once the cancellation had been processed, my refund would be initiated. Today is 2 May, and the cancellation still has not been processed. I have called Makro repeatedly, and each time they say they will escalate the matter to their Gqeberha office. To date, I have heard nothing from Makro in Gqeberha. I have only received a call from the courier, who is also unable to track the parcel (ORDER# MAK***), even though I declined to accept delivery.

Hi Makro Social Media Team

It is over a 2 months' now since the initial order cancelation request and my issue has not been resolved.

I got an email MAK***[#PE0D] from one of your Consultants with proof of delivery from Courier Guy. I rep**** to inform them that the proof of delivery was pretty much useless as it does not provide details on the person they say collected the item and why would the courier proceed to my address when I had informed them via phone that the order has been cancelled. Moreover, I queried how it was collected without a pin as I never gave anyone the pin because since I had cancelled the order.

I have yet to receive a response. This is seriously disappointing because the delivery process should be able to clearly point out what happened here

Please resolve this issue as I need my refund

Good morning Makro Team,

It has now been over two weeks since you escalated this matter, yet I have received no further communication. I will be forced to escalate the issue on my side as well, as this has been going on for far too long. I am not in the business of donating a cent to large companies, and I certainly will not allow myself to be ****** in broad daylight. I will be reporting this to any authority that can assist, including the NCC, CGSO, and others if necessary

Good day

It has been over 3 months now. Could you please resolve this issue?
This is really annoying & unfair because if this was me owing you - I would be having collectors hounding me every single day.

Regards

Dear Makro Social Media Team ,

Thank you for your response dated 18 August 2025. It has now been five months since my original complaint, and despite your assurance, I have still not received any meaningful feedback or resolution.

This level of service and lack of communication is unacceptable. I am requesting an urgent and final update on the delivery dispute regarding order number MAK***. If the matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate it further.

I expect a concrete resolution without any further delays
