Makro Appliances

I bought a Hisense Fridge yesterday as a cash buy. I happily paid my R4200 rand and was promised a delivery within 2 days. I was surprised when they called me that the fridge will be delivered today. On delivery I was asked to switch the fridge on after 2 hours. I unpacked the fridge to put it in place of my old fridge. I ten discovered that the front stand was missing and immediately tried to contact Makro. Eventually after 40 minutes I through. After an up and down story I was called back for the 2nd time and explained my story. They first wanted me to switch on the fridge and wait until Monday for them to bring a foot stand. I explained to the person that I cannot switch the fridge on as I will loose liability if I switch the appliance on in that state and that they should rather come fetch the fridge a d replace it or return my money. After 15 minutes I got a call back that they will replace my fridge the following day.

Reviewer Update
I was called by a representative of Makro again to inform me that they currently are out of stock of the same fridge that I purchased. They then requested that I utilize the fridge that was delivered until they recieve stock next week then they will replace the fridge. I reiterated that I am very apprehensive to use the fridge as I am scared that if I use the fridge and anything goes wrong with the fridge then Makro can then just say that it is now used goods and then don't want to exchange the fridge. I feel that legally will not have a foot to stand on if I switch this fridge on.
I was then assured by the representative that he will put it in a e-mail to confirm what he said.
I proceeded to switch on the fridge and I am now waiting for his confirmation e-mail. I will withhold the reps name for now but he gave his direct nr for further enquiries.
