Makro Extended Warranties a Joke

<p>Earlier this year i went to Makro to advise that my fridge under extended warranty was giving me problems, after 6 weeks and no one contacting me i went back only to have to provide all my details again when someone eventually reported my fault and the service provider came out.</p> <p> </p> <p>Two weeks ago and the same situation has arisen, i have a washing machine under extended warranty, i went in exactly two weeks ago and reported it, the Makro representative reported it immediately but still no phone call was received, three days later i returned and the same representative assisted me assuring me he had reported it. The process is it gets reported to Head Office who then hand it over to a contracting company to come out and fix the problem. It is now two weeks later and still no one has called to assist me with my problem. Do i have to make another trip to Makro? Phoning them is futile as no one answers the phone.</p> <p> </p> <p>When buying an appliance at Makro you are strongly advised to take out an extended warranty which you pay for, why is it that there is then a lack of commitment from Makro Head Office to get this sorted. I would like this issue sorted out immediately and my washing machine which is an essential appliance to be fixed asap.</p>

Hi there,

I am following up on my complaint, it is now 3 days later and i have still not heard from Makro . . . what happens when the machine stops working? I will be without a washing machine. As you can understand a washing machine is essential. 3 Weeks waiting for a repair is totally unacceptable . . . why push an extended warranty on me to get me to pay the extra and then when it comes to actually going the full mile no one is prepared to do it. I would like a response today on this. I am suspecting you are having the same issues as I ie getting anyone to respond . . . it is now beyond ridiculous!

Please kindly assist asap.

Thank you so much!

Kind Regards,

Tracy
