Promotion = Non-Promotion

<p>Makro sent out an email stating a one day special for the 18 April 2017. One of the items on special was a Rattan Jakarta 4-piece outdoor furniture set. The special price for the one day was: R2799, and was noted as an online only promotion. I imeediately clicked on the link to purchase / order the above item. On doing so, there was a note saying is temporarily unavailable. I then sent makrocare an email to query this item and request info on how to order the item. I have had no response from Makro in this regards.</p> <p>Today, I go back on to the Makro website and locate the item, which is now available for purchase but has a price of R6999. So it seems Makro advertised the product at a one-day special only to mark the product as unavailable and re-instate the availability the next day when the special is no longer applicable. POOR advertising and customer service. </p>

Received your reply 3 days ago and still no contact by the relevant department and no resolution to the query. Still very dissatisfied.

2 weeks down the line and still no contact, feedback or response... Seems lack of service and customer care is the norm with this company.
