MAKRO ONLINE SUCKS

I ordered sidetables from Makro online. There were several options at various prices for the same item. All showing up from different suppliers and the cost differing a lot. I ordered the one option at R4199 and it showed "only 8 left". After ordering and paying and waiting for a few days - excited that it will arrive on the 10th of October, I got an email to say my refund request has been processed and my money will be send back by the 27th of October. I emailed support@makro to ask who cancelled the order - since I never did. They rep**** days later with explanation that the supplier was out of stock. One simple search delivered results for the item from the same supplier at a higher price and from various other suppliers at different prices. I again emailed and asked why did they not just switch to the other suppliers or contact me to find out if I would like to order from someone else before doing the reversal which will now cost me bank charges and I have to wait a whole month before I get my money back. I wanted to buy this as a gift and now I have to wait for my money to get back into my account before I can order again. How ridiculous is this! What kind of **** are they running? They response from Makro is poor and they DO NOT COMMUNICATE! I am still waiting for a solution without having to go through the bank reversal and waiting period! This is my money that they are playing with and I am not impressed! THE WORST ONLINE EXPERIENCE!

Reviewer Update
Sorry for inconvenience does not pay for the additional bank charges nor does this in any way or form show that Makro cares to resolve the issue. Waiting a month for a refund that can be avoided and with a "sorry for the inconvenience" reply - just does not make a difference that counts. If you really cared about service delivery you would find an alternattive supplier to avoid the reversal of bank fees and make sure I receive the item as ordered. It is not rocket science just good business!
