Poor customer services experience on Makro online

I placed an order with Makro online on 13 May 2020. On the morning of 14 May, I called their customer services line to cancel the order and to request a refund. Later that afternoon, Makro arrived at my door with the order. I sent it back. I have since called their call centre 6 times to get assistance in cancelling the order, each time being told that they will escalate my request. Each phone call took approximately 20 minutes, you have to hold and hold and hold. Today, Makro was again at my door with the cancelled order which I had to send back. Again I had to sit on the phone for over half an hour to get assistance. Now I am told I have to wait for the courier to return the goods to Makro.So I currently have no cancellation confirmation and certainly no refund! What a poor show. What a horrible, frustrating experience. What a waste of my time. I hope that I will eventually see my refund?!

Reviewer Update
Dear Makro HelloPeter team,
It is 3 days since I posted my comment and 3 days since a team leader (one of many call centre agents I have spoken to on my many many fruitless calls) promised to get back to me with an email or phone call regarding the progress of my cancellation request. My order was cancelled on 14 May 2020. No refund, no communication! You have ****** from me!
