Online Shopping Everything but Convenient - No Delivery, No Customer Service

I ordered my groceries online, well what I could select as not all items where able to be selected. Most of the items I could only view which I can't understand cause it's available in store and I want to collet my order, not have it delivered. I made the payment and got a message that it was successful and that the order should be ready for collection 2-3 days. It is already a week later and it still shows online as "order in progress". I've mailed two different deparments of Makro, I've submitted a form online, I've phone the customer care line and even the store itself now. My mails have been ignorned and I have not received any further feedback on the online form submission - only got a mail to say it had been received and will be attened to. I've tried phoning and twice I get put through and the phone just rings till I'm disconnected. I've been buying my groceries at Makro for years now and I'm very dissapointed in this service I have received. I'm at the point I just want a refund and will rather go to Checkers or Pick 'n Pay in future. I decided to make use of the online order to avoid going to the shops in this busy time. Makro is always so busy and I get frustrated in a busy shop and then still have to battle most of the times with the trolley as all the trolleys seem to be in bad shape. I'm very unhappy.

This response from Makro seems to be an automated response as I've seen a few other complaints that have received the exact same response. But here is bit of a further follow up on the "wonderful" service I've received. This morning I contacted Makro Wonderboom to try and find out what is going on with my order. The lady explained to me that the manager and other workers worked through the night to sort out most back log orders and most of it has now been sorted. She took my Makro order number and phone number and said she was going to find out if my order has been completed and get back to me. It has now been more than an hour and half and still no return call. I shall wait till 12h00 and if nobody contacts me before then I will phone again and if my order is still not ready or the person can't give me an answer I will be demanding my money back. So Mr Mbali Makhanya I hope your soon as possible is atleast within the next hour. Once again highly dissapointed with Makro

Halleluja, I actually got a call from Makro. Looks like they are only now getting my order ready. Maybe Makro should do something about their staff that stands and around and chatting in peoples way who are trying to do shopping and get them to rather do their jobs. Maybe then the online orders will not get backed up.
