Warranty legally invalid
Home of living brands at Makro attracts customers with 12 months warranty as a standard warranty .i bought airfryer and still under 12 months warranty, they want to to enforce minimum requirement according to section 56 .According to their brochure they are offering 12 months warranty claim.Even their brochure states 12 months as a standard warranty policy, until you have to claim they then refer to section 56 (2) for 6 warranty claim .they hide behind CPA and they impose their own policies which overrides the requirements according to Act 28 of 2008 .Only then I realized that they actually offered an extended warranty plan and it's not disclosed

If I may ask why do I keep on receiving calls from you contact center, I can't explain same thing everytime a consultant from Makro decides to call me.
As you indicated the issue is escalated with the store, I will appreciate feedback because Ombudsman wants feedback from the store in order to proceed with my complain.
Kindly be advised,I will not submit the product for assessment because one of your agents told me if they only do assessment for extended warranty
In my knowledge my product is still under warranty as per the brochure provided, you offer 12 warranty which disqualifies to enforce section 56(2) .this rule only applies for standard policy which is 6 months
You offered 12 months as a standard warranty Therefore its legally invalid and overrides your policies

11 Jun 2026, 12:01I'm not disputing that it's a standard warranty policy according to CPA ,in this case you offer customers 12 warranty and you want to enforce standard policy
12 Warranty policy is an extended warranty according to section 56 of CPA .but you make it a standard warranty which disqualifies me to claim because my product Is over 6 months.
Please show me where in your brochure does it states after 6 months product needs to go through assessment for repairs.
The brochure provided by Makro and Home of living brands states as long as its within 12 I can either get a replacement ,refund or repair
Your policy should be included on your Warranty brochure, and you need to be honest that your warranty policy for replacement is 6 months standard policy according to the law.
Your current warranty policy automatically disqualifies me ,because it's ******** and doesn't abide by CPA
You can't enforce a policy that you did not disclose during the time if purchase .

11 Jun 2026, 12:10Please send indicate where in your brochure does it specify after 6 months of purchase needs to be assessd for repairs.
Instead last page of your brochure states "should the customer request a repairs "
Meaning I have a right to decide whether I want it replaced or repaired.
You can't force me on assessment for repairs, I want you to treat my product as it's still under warranty and qualifies for refund and replacement as stated on your brochure

11 Jun 2026, 13:57That's a problem you need to sort out internally and make customers aware when purchasing your products,
Since I requested a brochure stating that policy especially whe6the item is still under warranty
I did mention I don't appreciate these messages as I keep on repeating same thing .you can't provide proof of your policy in your own brochure that was provided with the item
I wait on Ombudsman to investigate

11 Jun 2026, 19:18Few months ago Makro was giving a questionnaire at the till because you are loosing customers. You practice ******ion and you don't comply with regulations of South African CPA/NCR , what purpose does your link serve. How about you train your staff to sell your products with a bit of knowledge ,related with customer service
Its Embarrassing that I called your contact center, the lady said she's waiting for her manager to tell her which Act according to Consumer act was she referring to .
Makro customer service is *********** and I won't allow you to ****** me. I paid full price for item I purchased and was told it has 12 months warranty,I have a brochure to prove it . I have enough proof to proceed with my complain with Ombudsman
