Makro Online - Service Should Be Shut Down!!!!!!!!

I purchased a ceiling fan from Makro online on the 16 Jan 2025. It was delivered earlier than expected. It was delivered on the 20th Jan 2025. But I logged a return on the 29th Jan 2025 since it was a faulty unit. However 2 weeks have passed but the item has not been collected. I have called the call centre several times and they cannot confirm when the item will be collected and when I will receive my refund. The refund should be due to me as I logged the return within 14 days of placing the order. I called 5 times and every time they cannot provide a date as to when the unit will be collected or when I will be given my refund. I am not able to to return it to the closest branch as it has was an online deal. I have even tried their whats app channel, however when i initiated a chat, a person got back to me 4 hours later only to refer to me someone else who closed the chat and did not attend to my query. Once more I called the call centre, I was promised a manager would call me to provide me with feedback but I have received no call. The online deal looks so attractive until you have to return the time and then you made to wait days on end without feedback. The online service is not worth a hassle of the savings.

Gosh it takes customer service so long to get to any one. The item was collected on the 14th Feb , 2 weeks after I logged the return. Now I am constantly having to call to find out about my refund. The 28th Feb 2025 will a month for this refund and I am no closer to getting my money back. Do you think is acceptable for me to wait one month for my refund, when I placed my order, my credit card was instantly debited. Now when i request a refund I am told you need feedback from the service provider, What nonsense Makro is my service provider not a 3rd party. I want my refund from Makro!!!!!!. I will never use your online service again. What is the use of advertising money saving deals when your customer service leaves so much to be desired. Absolutely pathetic.

I have completely lost all faith in Makro's online customer service. I received an email to advise my refund would be processed on the 28th Feb 2025. 30 Days after i logged the refund request. Now its been 34 days and I have still not received my refunds. I called the call centre and I am now told I need to wait a further 14 working days taking my refund request more than 45 days to resolve!!!!! I have asked to speak with a manager numerous times but I am told this is not possible and I need to request a call back, which I have done, but no manager ever calls me back. I am placed on hold to so the agent can get to manager to speak with only for her to come back on the line say "helllo" and then cuts my call on purpose. I have had enough of Makro's poor, disgusting customer. I will now actively ensure that I tell anyone I know not to engage with Makro referencing my own experience and asking them to read the countless complaints on Hello Peter before they decided to use the Makro online service. ITS A COMPLETE ****. AN ONLINE PLATFORM WITH NO BUSINESS ETHICS.
