CUSTOMER REFUND

I placed an order on the 10th July 2024 and the driver allocated for my delivery did not come to my place of employment, yet he was downstairs from my place of employment. He then sent me a watsapp saying he is outside, took me 3 minutes to check my phone as I was busy with a client in my office. He did not deliver my order and returned it to the store. I then called pick n pay online customer services and complained about the pathetic delivery service and I requested for a refund into my bank account. They transferred my refund to my card and wallet on the app and told me I can do a pay out to my bank account, and it takes 3 to 5 business days to reflect into my bank account. Today 12.07.24, I did a follow up to see if anything has been done and the call center lady told me it takes 7 to 10 business days and I will get an email on the 19th to inform me they will be doing the transfer.

Any wonder why this brand is closing some their stores? Customer care is pathetic and not worth the prices we pay for our groceries. The lies and hassle to get back my own money with their poor delivery service is not acceptable.

Luaine, the first call center employee told me 3 to 5 business days. Keira, the second call center employee told me 7 to 10 business days. call center tel: number ***

I want my query escalated and monies put into my bank account asap. They cancelled my order when the driver failed to walk up the stairs and returned my purchases back to a store. My delivery address states my company name and the Block it is situated on. They did not even care to inform me until I called them for my order. Please sort my refund back to my card asap. It should not take 7 to 10 business days for giving a customer back their money when it was not the customer's fault to begin with.

I do not care about your apology. I want my money ASAP. I do not intend to wait for 10 day to get my money back when it was no fault of mine. Sort your crew out ASAP and refund me by Tuesday 16th July 2024. I am going to the consumer council if this isn't sorted and money cleared in my account by this date stated. I have given you more than ample time to refund me. Your call centre agents have no knowledge of their jobs whatsoever. I also know how the card wallet on your app works. I called in 1st to find out how many days it would take to get my money back into my account and Luaine said 3 to 5 business days and that is why I did the transfer.

Did you even consider questioning your driver...why he came all the way to my work address, yet did not climb 1 flight of stairs to deliver my order? That he was so quick to watsapp me and withing 4 min could not wait for my reply as I was busy with a client. I had my right address with my company name and Block number. Perhaps he thought he's not getting a tip because I do not add the tip to my purchase but prefer to pay cash to the driver.

So sort your staff out and give back my money else this will be escalated. I can only imagine how many other consumers your staff do this to. You are basically holding my money as ransom hopefully so I can use your app and purchase again.....FAT chance of this ever happening again.
