Makro online beyond useless
Makro is clearly out of its depth in the online orders arena. I placed an order for a Midea 10 kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer (SKU: MD200H100BW-T) 05/05/2026. Besides receiving an initial email confirming the order 05/05/2026, I have received zero updates from Makro on the order progress until Monday afternoon 11/05/2026 claiming the "order is packed". There still is zero indication from Makro when the order is going out for delivery. This is not the first time I have purchased an appliance online from Makro and previously it took them over two (2) weeks to deliver a washing machine. By default I don't purchase online from South African retailers because they all equally useless and consistently it is faster to purchase from Amazon.com in the USA then locally. Makro is being crucified by the likes of Amazon.com as it takes them a minimum of one (1) week just to "pack" the order. What exactly needs to be "packed" in terms of a Tumble Dryer ???? The machine is already packed in a shipping carton by the factory and I am struggling to understand how it takes Makro an entire week to draw the inventory (single carton) from their Warehouse and then book a courier collection ? This is not exactly rocket science, but consistently Makro's service delivery online is virtually non-existent. They out of their depth in the online retailing space as they still don't understand that there is the Quick in online like Amazon.com and there is the dead in online like Makro. If you happy to wait weeks for your order to be delivered then by all means support Makro, but if you value your time don't waste any of it on Makro as they are beyond useless!

I wish to state categorically for the record I am yet to receive any delivery from Makro so its anyone's guess why I was sent both an SMS & email claiming delivery has been made ???????????????
