MAKRO - NOT HONOURING ADVERTISED ITEMS

Makro...

I have bought various CATERPILAR TOOLS from you in the past... Every time, i bought them, when the price worked for me AND when the tool is advertised WITH a battery.

I have the DX12 Drill - from MAKRO with 2x batteries and charger i have the DX155 Drill - bought at Builders Warehouse for R999 with 1x battery and charger I have the DX3133 Grinder that i bought from Makro ONLINE last week, advertised with the 4Ah battery and charger... for R1399.00

All very nice tool, thanks...

I can CLEARLY see the distinction between when a tool is advertised WITH a battery (battery is SHOWN) and when its ONLY the tool (Battery is GREYED OUT)

I am on your website NOW and you show the CAT DX31 Grinder with the GREYED OUT battery at R2699.00 i.e. TOOL ONLY (I have the screen grab)

I can clearly see the CAT DX42 Sander WITH the battery at R1899.00 i.e. TOOL AND BATTERY (I have the screen grab)

Now, considering i paid R1399.00 LAST WEEK AT MAKRO for the DX3133 WITH a 4ah battery, R1899.00 for a DX42 Sander WITH a 4ah (its a 4ah battery in the pic) seems like a FAIR PRICE...

I decide to go grab one, since i am in town (i live about 25km from Makro)

Get to Makro... and the sales staff say "sorry... its without the battery" .... i show them the online add.... and they say, "go to PICKUP" they handle online sales.

Get to PICKUP and they give me some BS about it doesn't come with the battery.

At R1899 battery incl, its a good deal compared to what i paid for my 2x drills and grinder... all supp**** with batteries...

At R1899-00 without a battery.... its not a good deal at all....

so, why are you F____king over customers?

Advertise one thing, get to the store and give the customer the middle finger when the customer SHOWS THEM THE ADD (i have screengrabs saved)

I don't expect to pay LESS than the advertised price I don't expect to pay MORE than the advertised price

BUT

I EXPECT TO GET THE ITEM ADVERTISED FOR THE PRICE SHOWN
