Worst online purchase experience ever

<p>I decided to buy a harddrive on special from Makro on November 25th (Black Friday). I made this purchase at 7:26am that morning. It is now the 7th December with no delivery. I called Makro who told me that the courier has the item and will deliver today(7th).</p> <p>I tracked on the courier website and there was no information so I called them. They claim that they have not collected the item.</p> <p>I called makro back and the say that its a system error and that the courier has collected the item but has not delivered it yet as the collection hasnt been invoiced...</p> <p>I was then told by the Makro Online support person thaton Black friday, they allowed products to be sold even though there wasnt stock and stock is now being sourced.</p> <p>This sounds unlikely as there were out of stock items showing on the website that day.</p> <p>The drive is apparently supposed to come from Toti, according to the courier who doesn't have the item.</p> <p>So from Durban, to Pietermaritzburg, its taken 12 days and counting.</p> <p>So to reiterate, this is the worst online shopping experience ever.</p> <p>This whole story is not worth the couple hundred rand that I saved.</p>

I have still not recieved the item. Makro have now marked my order as complete and have advised that the item has been collected on the 10th December by the courier. The courier cant find the given tracking number or the item. it is 18days now since I placed the order...
