Horrible Follow Up Service and Refund Proccessing
I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the ongoing delay in processing the refund for an item. The item was purchased and paid for online on 14 March 2025. The item was delivered and a return and refund was submitted. The item was then collected to have it returned to Marko on 27 March 2025. Despite the considerable time that has passed, the refund remains outstanding. When I followed up earlier this week, I was informed – with no prior communication – that the refund had been cancelled without any explanation as to why it was cancelled, and I was instructed to resubmit supporting documentation. My husband promptly did so on 5 May 2025. However, as of today, I have yet to receive any update or confirmation that the matter is being resolved. Upon following up this morning, I was advised again that the refund will be escalated. This continued lack of communication and resolution is entirely unacceptable, especially given that this matter has now dragged on for over a month. As a customer, we should not be expected to chase after a refund for this long, particularly when the return was handled as per your procedures. According to their refund policy, refunds are processed within 7-14 business days and can take up to 7 business days to reflect in your bank account. No one can give you contact information to follow up with the relevant department except for calling the call center.
I want someone that has the brain capacity to call me back TODAY and tell me when I am getting my money back because I am sick of dealing with *********** people who has no idea what on earth they are doing or cannot tell me what is going on,

This place is truly pathetic!!!

I am beyond frustrated and frankly disgusted with the way this refund issue has been handled. I’ve followed up repeatedly, and each time I’m met with silence, vague responses, or empty promises. And now, after yet another follow-up from me, I’m told a request has just now been logged with your IT team because of “system issues” after I was told last week that it is being processed with Finance that same day and today it's another excuse?? This is pathetic!!
Let’s be honest — This is a customer service failure. A refund should not take this long, and it certainly shouldn’t require constant chasing just to get basic feedback. Your team either lacks the ability or the will to take ownership of customer concerns, and I’m tired of the scripted responses and buck-passing.
Here’s what I expect immediately:
- A clear, honest update on where my refund stands — no more vague or recycled excuses.
- A specific, confirmed date by which the money will be in my account.
- The direct contact details (name, email, and phone number) of someone in senior management who is capable of actually doing their job and taking accountability.
The way this has been handled is unacceptable for a company of your size. If your internal processes are as broken as your communication, at least have the decency to admit it instead of hiding behind bull**** excuses. I expect a full and proper response within 24 hours, or I will be escalating this through every available channel, including consumer watchdogs, social media, and review platforms. People deserve to know how Makro treats its customers once payment has been made.
Fix this now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Bianca Roos
