Incorrect Order Delivered and Ongoing Issues with Replacement

Last week, I placed an order online for four items. Three were delivered but the fourth one, which was x2 creatines, was delivered the following day. However, when I opened the box, I found Domestos and TwinSaver products inside, which were not what I ordered. I immediately called the driver and he advised me to book a return. I followed his instructions and booked the return, but after five working days, I still haven’t received my correct order.

I contacted customer support several times, and they assured me the product would be delivered within 24 hours. Unfortunately, no delivery has occurred, and their email system is useless because they never respond. I kept following up, even with the store itself, but all I hear is their music until my airtime runs out.

I also had to make daily arrangements with my apartment security just in case they showed up, but they never did. I regret giving them the benefit of the doubt, so I placed another order for a vacuum cleaner and other items. The product description clearly stated that the color was red, but they delivered green instead. Again, I booked a return and spoke to customer service, requesting an exchange for the correct color, not a refund. However, I was told that they could only refund me, and I would have to reorder the product myself.

This is extremely frustrating because it’s their negligence that led me here. Why can’t they simply replace the item with the correct color? Now, I’m being forced to pay the delivery fee again, and the vacuum alone costs R400. I am extremely annoyed and dissatisfied.

I would not recommend anyone to purchase online from them, unfortunately. It's still a waiting game, and who knows how long this will take.

Reviewer Update
The reference number is IG1I and the order was made on the 29th of last month. I still haven’t received the correct item. The original order number is OD***.Despite the first mistake, I gave Makro the benefit of the doubt and placed another order for a vacuum cleaner (Order number: OD***). The item clearly said red, which is exactly what I was looking for as it was meant to be a gift. Instead, a green one was delivered. I contacted the call center, and they confirmed it was supposed to be red. I booked a return, but it took over a week to collect and I was told that since it’s a marketplace item, they can’t exchange it and can only process a refund.Because I needed the item urgently and couldn’t wait as the birthday was the following week, I placed a second order for the same product, just a different brand. And yet again, on Thursday, right before I was supposed to leave, a wrong item was delivered. Different brand, different description.This last order number is OD*** and I ordered a Generic Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, but received a HiGeneralStore Wireless Mini Vacuum Cleaner 6-in-1 Cordless (Black, White) instead.Three separate orders. Three wrong deliveries. This clearly shows a serious problem. I was so frustrated I went to the party without a present because I was completely defeated.The call center said these mistakes from a external supplier, but that’s not acceptable. Is Makro even doing proper checks on who they partner with? The level of service and repeated errors are beyond disappointing.This needs to be fixed urgently. I’m extremely upset, and honestly, it feels like Makro doesn’t care about customer service at all. Please escalate this.
