Poor service

I am so annoyed with Makro. I ordered on line on the 21 April 8 items. I received an email couple of days later that 2 of my items were cancelled with no explanation why. Couple of days after that I received another email at least explaining why they were cancelled. i called Makro several times to find out what was happening and the hold up on my delivery. Every time someone says they will call me back. On the 27th of April I received an invoice for 3 of the items and R50 delivery. On the 2nd of May I received another invoice for the remaining 3 items and another R50 delivery. I called again to find out why am I billed of 2 deliveries whereas I was never given a choice in the matter of splitting my delivery, the lady I spoke with said I shouldn’t have been billed twice she will get someone to call me. No one I did. Again I picked up my phone and called Makro again to enquire about my delivery and the lady I spoke with asked if I received my items as it shows on their system they have been with the courier I said no. I decided to cancel the whole order and she told me it will take about 5-7 days for the refund. I asked if that was the case why have I not received the refund of the other 2 items that were cancelled. She said she will escalate the matter. I thought the point of the online buying is to avoid going to the shops but it seems that’s the only way. The things I bought were not even luxury it was groceries e.g. pasta. I am so disappointed with the service from Makro. Funny how daily they send emails promoting buying online and this happens. I am hoping I will not have to call Makro back to get my whole refund since they already ****** me for billing me for 2 deliveries and I have not even received one item from them.

Reviewer Update
Good day, someone did call me after my review and promised to help and call again and never did. I called Makro again and again and still I have not received my refund. Even after speaking with couple of people who all promised to call me back and never did the delivery truck cam twice to my house to deliver things I have cancelled couple a week or 2 before. Only one person out of about five Makro employees was true to their word and called back. she was supposed to call me back again this week to check if I have received my refund and she has not called and I still have not received my refund of the items I cancelled on the 5th of May. I really do not know if I will ever get my refund but this is annoying as I had to take money somewhere to buy the very same items I cancelled at Makro as it were items I really needed. I am hoping I will receive my refund before the 5 of June, which will be exactly a month I cancelled the items. What is frustrating and annoying me the most is that I keep on using my airtime and call my Makro and everytime no one has an answer they are always going to follow up and come back to me and they don't and I again after some days I will call them again. I explained this to everyone I speak with and they always apologise and promise something and nothing until I call again. I just want to know when will I receive my money then I do not deal with Makro ever again.
