Online order not delivered mak5544965
I placed an online order on 21/11/2023 for a vacuum cleaner that I urgently needed as mine broke on 22/11/2023. I gave special instructions asking that the order must please be delivered between 08:00 and 16:00 weekdays. On Thursday 23 November 2023 I was contact at 17:34 to 17:49 by the courier partner for delivery and I was unfortunately not with my...

Read full review of Makro OnlineCancellation of order with no refund
In late September 2023 I enquired about an order which was not yet delivered. The service agent simply cancelled my order and I received an sms that the order had been cancelled. Various calls to customer service have informed me that I have already been refunded, or that they would get back to me, or blamed the courier service, or that they would escalate to the relevant department. To date the makro app still shows that my order is in progress, although they did the cancellation, and all attempts to rectify this have yielded no results. It is now mid November with still no resolution.
Claimed loss: Approximately R1500
Desired outcome: Refund
Connex 14 Celeron 4/128SSD All I Need Bundle (Laptop)
I bought a laptop online through Makro on the 30th of October and I received sms & email that my order was confirmed and the expected delivery date was November 4th.
Until this day the status has not been changed.
I called Makro on the 6th of November and they said it is a late delivery and they have escalated the matter to the seller.
07th November I called again only to find out the matter has not been resolved.Nobody is giving me a straight answer as to what is really happening,did I get scammed or something?.
On the 8th I sent an email requesting for the seller's contact details so I can follow-up myself,I still have not received any response.
Makro has my money but I dont have the product.This is totally unacceptable because I have paid .
Desired outcome: I want my laptop to be delivered to me asap if not I want a refund.
Not delivered as per online promise
I bought 3 items online, which 2 was delivered speedily, the third itme, a suitcase set has not been received as yet. Makro promised delivery on the 4th November. I followed up telephonically on Monday the 06th of November 2023. Was only advised that Makro will be in contact. Received an email that Marko will be in contact with me. NO one has contacted me. Makro have my money and I am without a product. False advertising and false promises according to me. I require the suitcase set for my holiday starting Friday the 10th November 2023.
Order number MAK5432009
Will definitely be sharing my bad experience with anyone who want to deal with Makro. I will rather in future deal with Takelot, what a breeze and a pleasure compared to Makro
Claimed loss: Not as yet, let's see when I go on leave without suitcases to protect my assets, I am taking with me for example jewelry, designer clothes etc.
Desired outcome: I want my suitcases before I go on leave, and an aplogy for false advertising and false delivery expectations by Makro
Refund
MAK5361602 my refund is small but the frustration of getting it back is no joke! Makro should consider closing their online purchase site, they do not have the capacity to deal with exchange and especially refunds! The delivery and pick up on my purchase was outstanding but everything after that pure frustration! This is creating a really bad name for Makro (Massmart). I certainly will never support online line purchases again.
Desired outcome: Refund or voucher
Makro online shopping
I purchased and paid for a vacuum cleaner on the 20 Sep, it is now 27 Oct and my order has not moved off ‘in progress’ since the day the order was placed. After numerous calls and emails to useless staff who give a standard ‘ I will escalate it’ response I am at my wits end. Have I been scammed? Is makro still a legitimate reliable company.? Because as of now they’ve stolen R2860 from me! If I don’t hear anything back asap I will have to lay a charge of theft.
Refund outstanding for 6 weeks with no resolution in sight

The online supplier told me he received the package back in good order on 26 Sept. Since 26 September upto now a month later, I have been calling & emailing Makro...
Read full review of Makro OnlineUnsatisfactory service and product refund at Makro Bloemfontein
I bought a "flowclear" pool pump from Makro Bloemfontein and tried to exchange it when I found that it was faulty and failed to operate at all. When I tried to exchange it Makro Bloemfontein informed me that it had to be sent away for approximately 6 weeks. I decided that this was way too big of a hassle for a new product and emailed them requesting a full refund. They have since only responded to me once saying that my email will be delivered to the department in charge of the product. I have sent various other emails since then which I am glad to share with you if you would provide me with an email address.
This has now been an ongoing waiting game for almost 2 weeks. I hope you also find this unacceptable and will help me find a resolution for this. I will surely not support Makro again after this but would like to get a full refund for this product so I can put this behind me.
Desired outcome: Please refund

Incomplete order received
I odered dinning chairs from makro online in September 2023. I received half of my order on the 2 October 2023 from makro online. I Emailed the query ro customer service the very same day. One person emailed me asking me to send pictures of what i sent. (Of which i did ) and i have not heard any follow up on my request. I called the customer service number thrice already of which someone just keeps telling me they awaiting response of the 3rd party. Its the 11th today still.no.order received. I asked if i could contact the company myself and ask where my chairs are , i was told no only they can email and request.
Why is no.one accountable for an order being incorrect, and why dont people provide follow-ups regarding your logged query.
This mess up is not my fault why should i be dealing with all the inconvenience around it ?
Desired outcome: I would like my chairs delivered by this weekend or i want a refund of the amount not received.
Delivery Issue
Hi
We purchased a stove online on the 28th of Sept, when we purchased the website stated a 2-5 working day delivery, we purchased an oven but that was delivered the next day which was great. My issue is that Makro and the courier provided has no idea where our order is, we have escalated countless times but to no avail. I have never dealt with such incompetence, the call centre guys have no idea what to say, there are never any managers available and this is not dealt with like the emergency it is. We are busy with renovations and this stove not being there has halted my kitchen set up.
Desired outcome: All I want is for someone to tell me what is going on, where is the stove? When will it be delivered, why is that so hard??
Refund
Good day I bought a Samsung handset in early February/late January, returned the phone for repairs (Software problem) around April and fetched it after I was told that it has been fixed. Phone was still doing the same thing after being "fixed" and I had to return it again so that the store may resolve. I returned the phone and after a month or so with...
Read full review of Makro OnlineRefund process
I bought diapers and formula on 29 July 2023 via the makro website. When I was checking out the site indicated that all the products were available so I paid. The next day on 30 July they sent me an email that some of the items were out of stock and that I will be refunded. I later received an email that the refund has been completed after 2 weeks. However the money never reflected in my account. I called to follow up end of August but since that date I keep on being told that the issue has been escalated and will be provided an update. Everytime I call or email I get that response. For the past 3 weeks However they have stopped responding to my emails and when I call I don't get a concrete response. This is really unacceptable for a reputable company like Makro. They can surely do better
Desired outcome: I would like my refund to be processed.i have attached a screenshot of the last time I received an email response
The order number is MAK4872119
Air fryer refund - MAK4905842
I bought an air fryer online and it was delivered. 31 August I request for a refund due to the air fryer not having a plug that we use in South Africa. I was gonna cost me more to go look for another plug. I was collected a day later and from there received an email saying they have processed my refund. A week later still no refund I contacted them and they asked me to send few stuff eg I’d book, proof of paying etc which I did. Wrote to helopeter and they said they have replied to me privately which they just said they have sent my matter to a relevant department. Now they sent an email asking me to rate their customer service. I wrote another review and they said they replied privately again but they lied. I just want my R900 that’s all I ask
Desired outcome: I want my R900 back
Refund not provided
Mak5114016
Highly disappointed to a point wherein I want nothing to do with makro after they have refunded me. Makro was responsible for refund based on a cancellation that they had made .it has now been 17 working days not normal days and I still have not received my refund. This issue has been an ongoing problem of phonecalls in which I have hardly had any help. Even after my constant calling and my visit to the Crosby store. This service is horrible for any store let alone a chain store. I will be taking my complaint to Consumer Court because essentially they have Taken up a lot of my time and they have caused me to miss out on other cellular deals for I do not have the funds thanks to them to get a new device. They still have not given me my money. This is highly unprofessional and unacceptable for a so called chain store.
Desired outcome: My refund and compensation for my time and my effort

Desired outcome: Please refund
Return and refund scam
I purchased 2 couches online on 7 Aug 2023 & called Customer Care just after my order to request that delay delivery until 1 Sept because I was moving to a new house & wanted the items to be delivered to the new house, the agent said it will be no problem & she will submit the request. On 16 Aug I received email confirmation that my delivery will be delayed...

I bought some items on the 27th of July and some items were sold out therefore was due a refund till to date I have not received any refund. They have sent me several emails requesting for the same information which I have sent several times and then they reply promising they will process the refund. The call Center is incompetent as they are clueless and are of no help. Do yourself a favour and do not shop from Makro Online as you will regret it.
Desired outcome: I want my money owed to me
