I have been trying to use my credit card, no Luck! I have been speaking to customer service and they keep on telling me its the machines that not working. So now I went to the bank to withdraw money and guess what it tells me the account is invalid.

I will not pay a single cent on this account until this card is in a good working condition

Purchased beef biltong which was mouldy. Very disappointed and off putting. This is awful.

There are no batch details present, it's just in a brown paper bag with ingredient list, price, barcode and manufacturer details.

I bought The rooi karoo locally grown Farmer's crisps. And was very disappointed, very nice packaging and nice clean picture of the crisps on the packet. But when opened, the crisps was brown and tasted burnt.

On the 5th of August 2022 I contacted Woolworths Financial Services regarding a personal loan that I am paying off. I was informed that the loan was paid in full and a refund is due to me. I have been waiting since then for my refund. More than a month and 24 working days later.

Today I purchased a six pack 1 Liter for R111; a month ago I paid R79 for the same item - a 40% increase.

Other items increased by 22%.

I see other members of the public are also complaining about the same thing.

I bought a pair of ladies shoes from Woolworths in December for R500. 2 months later and only wearing the shoes a couple of times they are already breaking. They started pulling loose on the side and back which I had to glue and now the sole has cracked. The quality is terrible and I will never buy shoes from Woolworths again

On Sunday 23 September at 10am I purchased 3 bags of WCut 125g.

Woolworths had the buy 3 bags of WCut 125g chips for 50.00.

Instead of scanning in 3 items, they scanned in 4 items so I was charged 50 00 plus 20.99 but I only bought 3 bags.

The Boerenkaas with cumin cheese on the shelves now, which is now locally made, tastes nothing like the Dutch Boerenkaas with cumin.

I think the name Boerenkaas has origins in Holland. But the locally made material does not deserve this name as it is misleading.
