Makro does not protect buyers against ***** sellers

When will Makro intervene when a seller on their online platform does not meet any of their commitments? I bought two couches on the 8th of November and waited patiently for the delivery scheduled for 27th of November. On the 27th of November I started following up as the status online indicated that it was not shipped yet, after several follow-up call the couches eventually arrived on the 8th of December. On unwrapping the couches I discovered this is some cheap couches that is completely not even close to the style, colour or fabric type i ordered. I immediately contacted Makro and they advised me to book a return for a refund. I booked the return about two hours after the couches was delivered, shortly afterwards the courier guy arrived with a small vehicle not suitable for the size of the couches. The return was cancelled by Makro because the collection failed. After speaking to costumer support again I had to book the return again. After several calls and emails to Makro support I am still waiting for the couches to be collected and support have the same reply every time "We will escalate it for you"

Let's assume you don't get feedback from the supplier, let's say he went for a holiday in Pakistan and only plan to return next year. What is your plan of action in such a case.

I had a chat with the courier company, They can't get hold of the seller to deliver their couches. Meanwhile I have to sit on camping chairs in my lounge because Makro won't start the refund process until the seller receive the cheap c___ they sent me.
