Makro has not refunded cancelled order for 24 days (and counting)

I cancelled an order with Makro on 20/03/2023 (the same day on which the order was placed). I have written proof of the cancellation as well as reference numbers for my telephone conversations in this regard.

From their website I understood a refund could take up to 7 working days. When I phoned after 7 working days I was told it takes up to 14 working days and that they can see the refund as been made it will reflect by 12/04/2023 which will be 14 working days. I phoned yesterday (12/04/2023) to enquire why I have not been refunded and they told me they dont know the financial department will phone me before close of business on 14/04/2023. They once again **** to me and nobody phoned, it has now been 15 working days (24 days in total) that Makro would not refund my R6,798.

It would appear as if Makro is a lying retailer who deceives their customers and my only option to get my money back would be legal action as this comes down to *****.

Another day passed, still waiting for my refund. Your response is just empty words and promises as I have been getting the past 26 days. Apologising assuring me you are aware of it means ZERO. I need proper feedback, for example, that the refund was made and a date on which it will reflect in my account.

I demand an IMMEDIATE repayment of my money as I have now waited for 26 days which is way passed the maximum per your website. If I don't get my money today I am taking you to the Ombudsman.

I have still not received my refund and nobody has contact me to inform me of the date on which my cancelled order (reference ***) will be refunded. It has been a full 28 days since the order was cancelled which includes 17 working days. Makro has no excuses for not refunding me and I demand an immediate refund as I have waited MORE THAN THE PRESCRIBED PERIOD for refunds.

If nobody contacts me TODAY (17 APRIL 2023) on *** with a clear indication of when my refund will reflect in my account, IT WILL BE VIEWED AS AN ATTEMPT BY MAKRO TO ***** MY MONEY AND I WILL NOTIFY THE RETAIL OMBUDSMAN FIRST THING ON 18 APRIL 2023.
