Makro Online Store - No Customer Service Assistance or feedback

After placing an order on Makro's online store before the lockdown ( 24 March 2020) and then only being informed on 30 March that the items I had ordered would not be delivered during lockdown. I cancelled the order - both telephonically and on the contact form and via email.

It is now 01 June 2020 and I am yet to receive my refund for the cancelled order. I have sent several emails. Completed several contact us forms on the website and had multiple telephonic conversations with the customer service team (which I called and initiated. I have sent messagas to the Facebook page.

I have STILL not been refunded for an order which I cancelled on 30 March. Over 60 days later and still waiting.

Why is reversing a transaction so hard?
