YOU HAVE NOT READ MY STATMENT PROPERLY THIS WHOLE THING COULD HAVE BEEN SORTED OUT IF A MANAGER WOULD HAVE SPOKEN TO ME WHEN I CAME TO GERMISTON AND NOT KABELO WHO DOES NOT COMMUNICATE AT ALL AND NOW WILL NOT EVEN ANSWER THE PHONE

WHY HAVE YOU PAID BACK R 1394 .07 WHEN

I HAVE PAID OUT A TOTAL OF R 4867 RANDS FOR 2X RYOBI WELDERS AND 1 RYOBI DRILL YOU HAVE REFUNDED ME R1394.07 A DIFFERENCE OF R3472.93 IS STILL OWING

I HAVE YOU DELIVERED TRADE ARC IN A CLOSE BOX WHICH YOU CAN COME A GET

I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY RYOBI MMA 200 AMP WELDER OR MY RYOBI DRILL ORDERED AND PAID FOR , WHICH YOU CAN STILL CANCELL

TO DATE 18 JUNE WHICH IS 22 DAYS NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED WAY PASS THE 14 DAYS

EVERY TIME I COME INTO MAKRO BRANCH I CANNOT SPEAK TO A MANGER WITH AUTHORITY TO EXPLAIN WHY SOMETHING ADVERTISED AND PAID FOR NOT ONCE BUT TWICE IS REFUSED

AND WHY MAKRO DOES NOT COMMUNICATE WITH INVOICES AND REFUNDS SO I KNOW WHERE I STAND

ALSO I WANT TO KNOW WHY MAKRO HEAD OFFICE CANNOT ANSWER ITS WEB SITE LISTED PHONE
