Online "Convenience" at Makro
I bought a trailer online with Makro (took more than 2 hours to pick up) and now I cannot register it. Here are some of the things that went wrong when I picked up the trailer:
1. There is only 1 person in the building who complete the paperwork - that person was missing (I'm guessing they were on lunch, but no one confirmed that, it's just a hunch). It took almost 40 minutes to find him 2. The trailer had gone missing and took another 20 minutes to locate - the manage blamed that they had been moved recently to make space for a display. 3. The key to unlock the trailers was missing - took another 30 minutes to locate and unlock 4. The trailer allocated to me was damaged (dents) and had to be replaced with a new one - another 30 minutes
The fact that I drove all the way from Cape Town with my 3 little kids is not Makro's fault, but considering I had 3 hungry kids through this process, they were not very considerate. The Online Manager (Andries) had an attitude of "It's unfortunate, but what can I do?" The best he could come up with was "Thanks that I have helped them highlight a few things, the next person will have a better experience than I did". Even a "sorry for your inconvenience" seemed hard for him to say.
We were effectively forced to buy overpriced/unhealthy convenience food at the store to make it bearable for the kids (more revenue for Makro - maybe this is part of their strategy?), not to mention spending over 2 hours of a Saturday at Makro to pick up a trailer.
Andries assured me they will call me back to discuss how they could make it up to me - that was a week ago, so not very confident it will happen...
THE BEST FOR LAST!! But the best is that when I went to register the trailer today, it turns out that Makro wrote the wrong Chassis number down, so no I physically cannot register the trailer...!!!
Am I supposed to go back to Cape Gate to resolve this?

You would expect that Makro would take complaints seriously... Seems like just another standard response on Hellopeter give the perception that they are responding to customers.
I will be going to Social Media next.
