Secondhand products sold online.

I ordsred a spit motor from Makro online, and received it a couple days later. The next day I plugged it in to see how it runs. I could immediately see a delay in startup and hear a scratchy damaged sound. I then had a closer look at ghe unit, and could clearly see that the *****s did not even match, which makes me think that I was sent a damaged,/repaired product and I paid and expected a new product. I immediately sent an email and went on their whatsup contact and logged a request for a return call on damaged goods. It has been 3days and no one has phoned. I have received an email response amd the lady advised I must log a return for the product, which I did not know of but did immediately. The return policy indicates they will collect and still inspect, which could take up to 2-5 days, then I get a report, and only then I would kbow if I would receive a replacement or refund, and if I opt for replacement, which I did, then obviously I will have to wait again 5-7 working days. This is bad, I urgently need this productand just the thought of receiving a unit that they probably try to repair. I would understand if it has surface damage with handling, but not this. I did not expect this experience from Makro. I cant even take it to the nearest branch, because it is an online only buy. Disappointing!!!
