xbox one x pre order makro

xbox one x pre order was advertised on the website as an online only deal. If you google "xbox one x pre order makro" it will show the link, but clicking it will take you to the home page as the page is no longer listed. This was done without warning - I was hoping to order this last night but to my dissapointment, the pre-order has been taken off the catalog on the website. The page had no warning for a date of last order nor did it indicate "limited" availability. I really wanted to order this - now I missed this by a couple of hours and have to wait till Feb2018 instead of 22Dec2017 to get the new console.

To make matters worse, I send an email to their online support and logged a ticket on the website - neither have been answered. Decided to call them and got transfer to a store instead of online help and eventually 15min later ended up with someone who supposedly work in their online support - however she had no idea what I was talking about and bluntly called me a **** as it was the xbox one s that was listed and not the xbox one x....

I would probably never buy from makro again.

This was a horrible experience - in the end still no idea why the page was just removed from the website or any chance of still ordering the xbox one x.

Truly terrible service!

Thank you for getting back to me. Instead of ranting on how terribly disappointing I am in Makro, allow me to suggest some fixes for future reference: - Have competent staff in online support who have undergone proper training with regards to human relations and how to speak to your clients. - Have staff who actually know what Makro is selling - Have it displayed on the item page that limited availability is a thing - Have it a time limit displayed for items like this. - Notify me on the product page if it is no longer available, do not just delete the page on your site - Terrible way of manipulating your consumer. I hope in future, the experience will be better. I have been to Makro since my complaint, and everytime decided that due to my experience with the xbox one x, I will go to another vendor for whatever item I was in Makro for and buy it there. To conclude, I appreciate your response, but you have most probably lost a client. I do not mind paying more for any item, if it means I will be helped by competent staff and have after-service. Sorry, not sorry
