Makro taking customers, for a ride...

On the 17th June 2019, i purchased goods from Makro to the amount of R3,984.32. The delivery on the goods were divided into 3 different deliveries on 3 different dates. Good and well. Makro said that the first delivery would be on the 24th June 2019. Please take note, that today's date is in fact the 30th June 2019 and Makro has still not delivered anything to me. Second delivery will be on the 8th July 2019...lets see how that one goes??? In my first order, i ordered x8 cases of Castle Light 500ml cans & x12 1.5L Lipton Iced Tea. This was supposed to have been for a party i had that night, seeing as its Holiday time. You can only imagine how the party turned out, with no drinks there. Thank you Makro, for making my name ASS!!!

Except ofcourse a Oscilating Floor Fan Plastic Graphite 2Heat Heater, that they delivered to the complex where i live, but not to me, they gave the heater, to the security guards here and didnt even inform them, who the product was for. So not even the security could let me know that they had my item. I kept on calling Makro and asking about my delivery for the 24th June and they said that they already delivered the heater to my complex. ***!?!?!

I suffer from photo-sensitivity and cannot leave my house. That is why i order from different places, items that i need on a daily basis...Makro being one of them. They left my heater at the gate and i had to self manage to get it from the security...because Makro staff are ***********!!!

I cannot tell you the amount of times that i have phoned or how many times a lady (called: Thembisa - supposedly a Supervisor at the Online shopping side of Makro) called me, saying that they are almost done with my order and it will be delivered soon! For goodness sake!?!?!

Anyways, the heater (Oscilating Floor Fan Plastic Graphite 2Heat) that they "delivered" is faulty aswell. I just received it from the security guy, plugged it in and it blew up my wall plug. I took pics and a vid of this happening. I have full proof of delivery to me and when i opened the box and when the fire happened. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone and it records location, date and time of any pics or vids taken. Will see if i can attach all pics and vids to this post...

So, out of my whole order, thus far...i ONLY got a Heater...and a broken one at that!!!

Makro has to contact me immediately, to get this issue resolved, to my satisfaction!

A man, sent from Makro, came to my house at 14:25 today (3rd July 2019), to pick up the faulty heater that i bought from Makro.
Makro did not inform me that anyone will be coming to my house to collect the faulty heater, nor did they tell me any time that anyone will arrive at my house.
Makro also did not tell me what their actions are, with the matter of the faulty heater.
If Makro is supplying their customers with inferior products, they should be reported.
Which i think in this case, applies.

Today (4th July 2019) @10:35 Makro delivered partial of my original order, placed on the 17th June 2019. Still outstanding on that order and MOST IMPORTANT aswell, is the x8 cases of Castle Light, 500ml cans and the beetroot (beetroot im willing to wait for - told several Makro people that called me) ...
And ofcourse the issue of the faulty heater they supp**** me with and took back yesterday...
What on earth is going on here???

And still i have received no word on the cause of further action on the faulty heater Makro collected.

Nor have i received any compensation, what so ever, for this horrible service im still getting from Makro!!!

Today (8th July 2019) @13:00. I went online to Makro's Online Shopping page, to see if there are any updates on the delivery of my order, placed on the 17th June 2019.
Now i suddenly see, that Makro says that they are waiting for me to make a FURTHER payment on my order, to the amount of R4,810.84!!! Which i see now, that they have gone and divided the order up into 4 separate deliveries, instead of the original 3 that they had when i placed the order. Not even one of the people from Makro said anything about the order being delayed, due to outstanding payments of any sort. Nor do they contact me to say when it will be delivered and finalized. I just sit here and wait...what a waste of time!!!

What the HELL is going on?!?! Makro is now saying that i need to pay more, than the R3,984.32 that the order cost on the day i placed my order!!!

Lucky for me...i took pics of the complete order that day, proving the amount and that nothing was/is outstanding for payment, on this order.
I also have the Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone, which recorded each and every phone call to me, from and to Makro. And NO WHERE in ANY of those calls, did anyone state that delivery only can take place, once a further amount of R4,810.84, is paid!!!

Right Makro, you have messed with the wrong person!!!
...oh and BTW, you will ALSO be liable to pay all my Attorney fees...
I will be lodging a complain with the Consumer Board and the Ombudsman aswell today.
Thereafter, i will be reporting this ugly matter, to all types of media.
And yeah, trust me...im home 24/7...i have loads of time on my hands...

Today is already the 17th July 2019 @10:00am (over a month after i placed my order) and Makro still hasnt delivered everything to me, nor any refunds received from Makro for anything.

Makro also has STILL NOT COMPENSATED me in ANY way...for this horrible experience!!!

Due to this experience, i now have severe anxiety and depression, i had to go see a doctor (no medical aid, no salary, no job).
Makro needs to reimburse me for all my medical expenses, during this time.

DONT EVER TRUST MAKRO!!!
