Makro Online Unable to Deliver

Bought some items online. When delivery date was overdue, phoned the call centre, who kept on saying that the package is with the courier. Phoned the courier, who indicated that the package was never received and that Makro Montague gardens never sent one of the items. Phoned dispatch at Montague Gardens store. Online Manager called back, with a sob story that the courier couldn’t find the adress (en spite of another item on the order being delivered to that adress the same day). Phoned courier (DSV) who stated in writing that Makro never dispatched the item. Spent hours on the phone trying to get it sorted. Call centre just says sorry but no one had a clue where my item is. Seems to be a pattern with Makro online to take payment, not deliver on time and then blame everyone (including the customer) by telling lies. I have tried speaking to a manager, but they are all protected by call centre agents. There seems to be something seriously wrong at Makro.

Reviewer Update
Did Finally receive the item. That said, not ordering online from them again soon. Too many couriers are used, their tracking system is prone to failure and the gist of the complaint (not being truthful with customers) was never addressed. I see that they did try to phone me a couple of times, but was in meetings, and not in the mood to phone back to a call centre.
