Formal Complaint: Repeated Delivery Failures and Request for Compensation – Order ***

Dear Pick n Pay ASAP! Customer Support Team,

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the ongoing delivery service failures I have experienced with Pick n Pay ASAP! This is now the third consecutive order where I have encountered problems with your delivery service, and the manner in which this matter has been handled is completely unacceptable.

On this occasion, my order ***, valued at R143.92, was ready for collection, yet I was left waiting for a driver who had not arrived. The estimated delivery time was 19:06, but the driver was still nowhere near the store. When I raised my concern with your support team, I was repeatedly given apologies without any meaningful resolution or proactive assistance.

What makes this experience even more frustrating is that the driver was reportedly far from the collection point, and attempts to contact the driver were unsuccessful. I had to initiate the conversation, follow up repeatedly, and push for information about a service I had already paid for. Your support team's response, asking me to allow sufficient time for the order to arrive, was particularly disappointing given that the delivery was already delayed and I was actively seeking assistance.

An apology is not a resolution, particularly when the same service failure occurs three orders in a row. As a paying customer, I expect reliable delivery, accurate estimated delivery times, accessible support, and accountability when your service fails to meet reasonable expectations.

I should not have to repeatedly chase your team for updates or spend my time resolving problems that are entirely outside my control. The repeated failures have significantly undermined my confidence in Pick n Pay ASAP! and have left me questioning the value of using a service that consistently fails to deliver the convenience it promises.

In light of these repeated incidents, I am formally requesting the following:

Appropriate compensation for the inconvenience, wasted time, and repeated failure of your delivery service. A generic apology or standard acknowledgement will not be sufficient in this instance. A review of all three affected orders and an explanation of why these failures have occurred consecutively. Confirmation of the corrective measures that will be implemented to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Written feedback from a supervisor or manager who has the authority to review this complaint and approve appropriate compensation.

I expect this complaint to be escalated beyond the standard customer support process and handled with the seriousness it deserves. I am not simply looking for another apology; I am looking for accountability and a tangible gesture of goodwill that reflects the repeated inconvenience I have experienced.

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide a substantive response, including your proposed compensation, within 48 hours.

I trust Pick n Pay values customer loyalty and understands that retaining customers requires more than apologising when things go wrong. It requires taking responsibility and demonstrating a genuine commitment to improving the customer experience.

I look forward to your response and a fair resolution.

Kind regards, Mxolisi Maredi
