Marko not refunding cancelled order

Good day I purchased a lawnmower online from Makro on 5 May 2025. Unfortunately the payment was processed twice that created 2 orders. I immediately cancelled the 1 order. Since then I've been trying to get my refund. They said the refund failed and asked for my Bank confirmation letter and ID in pdf format, which I sent to them. I still haven't received my refund of R4599.00 Every time I phone their call center on ***, they say they will escalate it but still nothing happens. I have tried many numbers that I could find for Marko but couldn't reach anyone that is will to help. I went to the store and they say, since it is an "OD" order number, it has to be refunded by Head office and I can't reach anyone there either.

Good day,

Your feedback might have meant something if you've done something by now. Another month has passed and although I have resent all the required documents and Makro contacted me and confirmed they have everything they need to do the refund, I have still not received my refund.
What should I do to get my refund that is due to me for more than 2 months now?

Regards,
Jennie

Hi,

Since this seems to be the only platform where I get any feedback from Marko, I want to say that another week has passed and I still haven't received my refund and I also have no other feedback from Marko i.e. explaining why they haven't refunded me and if they need anything else from make to make it happen.

Please advise what else I can/should do to get this refund done.

Thanks
Jennie

Hi Makro Social Media Team,

You have reached out to your Finance team on July 17th already. May I ask what your Finance teams acceptable response time is since this is already 7 working days. Besides the point that the refund is already due for more than 2 months.

When can I expect this to be resolved?

Thanks
Jennie

Hi,

Will you kindly send me an update on the status of my refund. It is now almost 3 months since the purchase.

If there are technical difficulties, you can arrange with someone at Marko Wonderboom, my nearest branch, and I can go there with my card so they can do the refund there.

Alternatively, please process my refund a.s.a.p. or at least give me an explanation of what is causing the delay.

regards,
Jennie

Hi Marko,

Thanks for your feedback.

Eagerly awaiting the money in my bank account or at least an explanation that justifies the 3 month wait.

Kind regards,
Jennie

Good day Marko Social Media Team

Have you received any feedback from your Finance team and if not, when are you expecting to do so? I really don't understand the complication and delay of the refund. Surely this is not acceptable response times.

Still awaiting some meaningful feedback and my refund.

It is now officially 3 months since the purchase.

Regards,
Jennie

Thanks for your feedback.

I guess Marko has many upset customers if their backlog is more than 3 months however, since there seems to be nothing else I can do, I'll continue to wait.

Alternatively, I'll open a case with the Consumer Goods & Services Ombudsman.

Kind regards,
Jennie
