NON DELIVERY OF ONLINE ORDER

Good day I would like to formally log a complaint regarding the Makro Vaal store regarding an online order and their customer service regarding a telephonic call. I have received contradicting emails and sms regarding the below parcel being collected yesterday, however the courier dawnwing has denied ever collecting the parcel and claims no responsibility or association to the parcel as they have never even allocated a driver to the parcel. They adviced me to have makro call them and proof to them that this parcel was collected at they have no record on their system of this parcel. Problem a) I have been **** to and fed misleading information b) Makro call centre tracking employee stated that according to her system the parcel has been collected I must call dawnwing and tell them. c) this has been a back and forth of neither one knowing where my parcel is. Team leader of contact centre Xolani, made it apparent that I need to be patient as Makro is still well within its time of 2-5 working days ,his subordinate also stated the exact same to me. a) My problem with this is, no one knows where the physical whereabouts of the item is however they can comment about delivery days for a missing item, does not make sense, I was told i can escalate the matter to Vaal as Xolani's intermediate superior is working from home. I called Vaal yesterday and they informed me that dawnwing would collect the parcel that afternoon. That is how I know dawnwing is makro's courier. I called Vaal today, spoke to a very unhelpful person named Andile, who constantly told me He doesn't know who i must talk to, no the phone is too far to give to someone that can assist me, he doesn't know what head office's number is, Andile just does not know. I finally received assistance from the call centre when i asked for head of complaints to fil a complaint, the person that assisted in filing ticket complaint number ***, confirmed that the parcel was never collected and is still at Vaal pending collection. "The Consumer Protection Act, 68 of 2008 (CPA), is not the only law that protects consumers but lays a solid foundation by promoting a fair, accessible and sustainable marketplace for products and services. The CPA entitles consumers to the delivery of goods and performance of services as agreed and in an acceptable manner, also when shopping online. This means that late deliveries in South Africa are unacceptable. Suppliers must deliver goods on the agreed date, time and place. If the specifics haven’t been agreed, the supplier must provide the products within a reasonable time. Any delays must be communicated with the consumer, and if delivery is late, the consumer is allowed to cancel the transaction without penalty. The consumer has the right to claim a refund, interest (at the prescribed rate), as well as any costs incurred due to the supplier breaching the terms and conditions of the agreement." So I have been fed misinformation on black and white, treated illy by the employee Andile, I have no food because Makro does not care? What am I to do now after the formal complaint, how will this be rectified?

Hi Makro

Unfortunately I do not find the above in order, as Makro has made dawnwing out as a ****. Had me without food for last night, tonight and tomorrow night we will see if God grants the miracle of us eating the food we paid for. I was constantly told regarding the important technicality of 2-5 working days and I have no right to complain and i should be patient.

As i have formally laid a complaint and a resolve is not reached in a reasonable time, I will lay a formal complaint with the Consumer Goods and Service Ombud, as this food and a means of livelihood, while there is transcripts of proof depicting the false tracking and acknowledgement of goods being dispatched.

Good day to you Makro
