Misleading

Blatant price manipulation and deeply ********* conduct by SPAR Glenore.

I placed an order via Uber Eats where items were clearly advertised at a 30% discount. I checked out and my bank account was charged approximately R980. Only after payment was taken did the store revert the items back to full price and then cancel three bottles of wine to “balance” the increase.

Let that sink in. They changed prices after checkout and cancelled items I had already paid for.

The cancellations were not due to stock shortages. The value of the cancelled wines exceeds the final order total which proves they were removed solely to offset the post payment price increase. I was left paying full price for fewer items than I ordered.

This is not a mistake. This is not a technical error. This is a deliberate post checkout manipulation of pricing that no consumer should tolerate.

If the promotion was incorrect it should never have been allowed to proceed to checkout. Taking payment first and then altering prices and cancelling items is misleading unfair and unacceptable.

I would strongly advise against ordering from SPAR Glenore unless you are prepared for prices to change after you have paid.

I would not recommend ordering from this store via delivery apps like UBEREATS unless you are prepared for prices to change after checkout.
