Rediculous communication and customer service

I placed an online order with Makro on 1 October for items that showed in stock with an estimated delivery time of 2-5 working days. On 10 October (8 working days later), I sent an email and phoned customer service. I was told telephonically that one of the items were out of stock, but that she could not advise on an estimated lead time. She assured me that I would be phoned and informed of this asap. I only received a response to my email 4 days later also telling me the exact same thing with no further information for estimated lead time of delivery. It is now 17 October (13 working days later!!) and I have not had any update or been informed on when I can expect delivery. If I had known this item was out of stock, I would not have placed the order, since I need it quite urgently. I will definitely NOT place an online order with Makro again. I'm still in the dark on when I can expect delivery or IF I will receive it at all. Very disappointed with this level of customer service.

Reviewer Update
Someone from Makro phoned me on Friday 18 October, also apologizing profusely. He assured me that the package was on its way and would be delivered on that same Friday. No delivery. No communication. Still waiting.
