******* products.

I bought a Hi Sense washing machine from Makro Vaal on Saturday 24 June 2023. It was delivered on 26 June. Today, 27 June I unpacked the machine, and was busy installing it. On removing the 4 transport bolts, I noticed that one of the bolts was bent and bits of plastic were falling from the inside of the machine as I loosened the top bolts.. On turning the drum manually, I could hear something wasn't right. Feeling n the space of the top 2 bolts, I could feel the sharp edges the broken plastic had come from, and both supports were completely loose. I phoned their "customer care" center, who said they would escalate it to the branch I purchased it from, not before they wanted to put a service request in. To which i said no, as it it's supposed to be a brand new machine. I wait in anticipation.

A bot response. A real person didn't write this.

So I got a call from the "manager" at Makro Vaal. She said they would invoice a new machine tomorrow, and maybe deliver on Thursday (Makro Vaal is 5.3 km from my house).
I take three things from this:
1. It's clear Makro personnel can't cross reference.
2. They make use of "fly by night" delivery people, and the customer sits with the consequences.
3. It would be quicker to order something online, and get the now dysfunctional SAPO to deliver it.
Makro - A truly SA company in all aspects.

NOTHING!!!!!!!
Except for an e-mailed invoice for the replacement. And they haven't taken the extended warranty I purchased into account.

And this " Your Makro Online order ***4.. has been scheduled for delivery on Thursday, 29 June 2023 8:00 - 19:00. Need to reschedule? Email ***" is what I've just received via SMS.
1. This was not an online purchase.
2. Am I just supposed to sit at home from 8am - 7pm waiting for them to deliver?

Pathetic!
