Makro worst online shopping experience STAY AWAY FROM THEM

I purchased a roof fan in December. Waiting period was not long but when the item arrived I only received the light fitting and no fan. I phoned logged a complaint and they promised me I will receive my money back in 5 working days. They also informed me the courier will collect the light fitting. On the 31st I phoned and only then informed me that I cant get my money back before the light fitting is received. On 5 Jan I phone to find out when will they be collecting the item and they said no collection was arranged but they will send the courier. On 7 Jan they collected the item , still no refund received. When I phoned today 9 Dec they informed they received the item but they supplier need to inspect it(48 hour). After the inspection takes place I must wait 7 to 14 days to get my money back!!!! All this trouble due to their mistake and now I must wait for my money???????? This is unacceptable and I will NEVER order from Makro again or refer anyone to them. Funniest is that their email is Makrocare@makro ....really care?? What a joke

Response from your social media team was exactly the same as what I heard on the phone! A refund defiantly don't take 7 to 14 days to process in any other company...... Online shopping is suppose to make it easier NOT worse!!!

Still no Refund!!! If I don't have my money by Friday 16 Jan'26 I will be contacting the Ombudsman. First complaint was 26 Dec, it will be 3 weeks on Friday. Sending me a email saying " Kindly be advised that your query has been escalated to our relevant department once we get feedback we will communicate with you shortly. " This is ridicules!!!!

Maybe you should try calling instead of waiting on a email reply.
