Makro Alberton

We have bought a Samsung TV online...upon installation we saw that the screen has damage on the inside...we immediately logged a return on the 1st of January 2026 and it showed that collection will be the following day...however after calls and emails back and forth we found out that the collection will be on the 6th of January 2026...we then waited patiently for the courier to collect and nothing...we then contacted the courier on the 17th of January only to find out that the collection was canceled and re booked and a driver was sent out to collect on the 17th of January 2026...the courier went to to the wrong address and we were told that it will br collected today the 19th of January 2026...when I phoned the courier later I was informed that the collection was canceled again and this is now being canceled by Makro Alberton as we believe...Makro Alberton is not answering their phones and keep on canceling the collection and I have spoken to a technician from Samsung who informed me that the screen is not covered for warranty and we will have to pay for a technician to come out and give us a quote to repair this is a brand new R9000 tv that was on for less than a minute!!!! I do not know why Makro Alberton is delaying this matter I have phoned and emailed numerous times and we are still waiting for the courier to collect but we are not being informed of changes the service from Makro Alberton is so unacceptable we received a email stating that the collection has been approved but then when we call the courier we are told it has been canceled...I habe been informed today 19/01/2026 by thr courier that Makro has canceled the collection again and a technician will be sent out...Makro keeps on changing the agreement and we keep on phoning and sending emails so we are still waiting for collection which I don't know when it will be and then who will reimburse me for all the time and airtime used and still we have no answer to what is happening...I nee Makro Alberton to collect the tv and refund 9r exchange it as it is still brand new I do not need a technician coming out for this!!!! I will surely never order anything from Makro if it is coming from the Alberton branch...I think the after sales service is not a priority at all for Makro...we have sent screenshots of the tv being in for the 1st time with the date and time and the tv is still on the setup screen...so why is Makro Alberton delaying the collection of the tv

Good day

Thank you for your reply...

I hope this will be resolved ASAP as I am not getting any feedback as of yesterday 20/01/2026 from the call centre either after sending numerous emails to them....I don't know why is it so difficult for Makro Alberton to just collect the tv and do an exchange...if they do not have stock they should just do a refund...as it is very annoying not getting any after sales service

The problem is there is no footage from the store to my house and the tv was lying on its side on unmarked vehicle it was not strapped or strapped up straight...I hope this will be resolved soon as it has been dragging for too long now and why does makro Alberton keep on delaying the collection

The TV was finally collected on 2026/02/03...after such a long wait it is finally on it's way to the store...I just want to take a moment to thank Siyabonga Sibanyone from customer care for being a great help with this matter he did keep me updated as to what was going on and he was ALWAYS friendly and have such a great personality...
All that we are now waiting for is the refund which we hope will be very soon...
Thank you Siyabonga for your assistance with this return
