Pathetic service from Makro. The pits!

Makro put up a false adverti*****t online, I bought the item online. I informed them on the day it was delivered that it’s not what I bought as per the ad. I was told to go to my nearest store which is Centurion. Spoke to 3 people still was not assisted I was told I must go to Wonderboom since the stock came from them. I was made to drive 2hrs on the road. The refund was not done. They did not want to take ownership and give me what I bought as per the ad. This was May last year. I went to Woodmead store since I was in the area, Wandi from online purchase contacted Wonderboom and I was told they would call me to arrange a pick up for a refund this was Jan 27th 2026. To date no one from Wonderboom has called me. I went back to Woodmead last week again driving from Centurion. I was given Kgontshi’s (manager) number. I tried 5x that number doesn’t work. Their Twitter client liaison is just as useless. I called the Wonderboom switchboard today they said I’m being transferred to Kgontsi then they immediately hung up. I want my refund, collect this pathetic thing you delivered to me and refund me my money and reimburse me for all the trips I’ve made cos of your errors, false advertising and incompetency. This is the worse experience I’ve ever had. And do expect a case from the Consumer protection regulator.

Thanks for replying it was an online order. The order number is OD***. I notified customer care on the 29th May when I received the delivery of the wrong item. Went to Centurion branch 30th May with the items. Subsequently drove to the Wonderboom store on the 7th June, the online department manager made a note on my invoice and signed that it was an error that you advertised the incorrect item . Thanks.

I cannot believe a big store as Makro is failing to correct a mistake they made in May 2025! They are hogging my money in their bank account for months now. Inconveniencing, ignoring customers as well as making false promises is what do best.

Could I have the names of the people you’ve been following up with at the store. It’s been 8months now, I’m escalating the matter externally and need names and email addresses.

Please note on Friday I am moving to the East Rand. Just like I was made to drive for an hour to go to Wonderboom. They will now have to drive very far to come collect incorrect items they delivered since it’s such a hustle. They’ve been promising to arrange collection since January we are now entering April. What and who are you waiting for from the store? Do you not have management there to escalate the matter to? Is there no Head of customer care? Can you not follow up, there hasn’t been action since May last year and you think telling a customer to keep on waiting for 10 whole months while hogging their hard earned money is satisfactory?
