I recently purchased a tool online at a specific price on two separate occasions. Both times, my orders were declined without any prior notice, despite the company’s terms and conditions stating they would contact me before canceling an order. The stated reason for the cancellations was stock unavailability, and these cancellations occurred just a few days apart. However, shortly after, the price of the tool was increased, and stock became available immediately. Makro is now refusing to honor the original price at which I made my purchases. Additionally, they have been unresponsive to my emails unless I leave a review on Hello Peter. Next step is to report them to the NCC.

I bought a Dewalt tool twice online only for them to cancel the order due to no stock availability and then immediately change the price and re-advertise it on their website for a higher price. Now they wont answer my emails, I will be reporting them to the NCC.
Worst experience with a rental company Ive ever had. No customer service and they keep wanting more money after confirming that Ive paid up all accounts. They are now threatening to hand my account over to debt collectors even though I have proof that my account is paid up. They will just add a whole bunch of made charges to your bill and tell you that you are still short on your account.
I took my wife's car in to look at the gear box as it is dropping revs and power in 3rd gear. They also needed to look at the window mechanism as it broke and made a noise and scratched the smash and grab on the window. They called me in to come test drive the car with the mechanic as he said the diagnostic machine isn't picking up any faults. I came in and we took the car for a drive and Happy the mechanic agreed with me that there was something wrong with the gearbox. He said he would let the gearbox specialist know about it. Fast forward to today, I phoned them and he said there's absolutely nothing wrong with the gearbox as they cant find anything on the diagnostics and i need to come fetch the car. It feels like they are trying to wait out the maintenance plan so it becomes my problem. Coming back to the window, they fixed the problem in the door but refuse to fix the scratches on the glass. To me as I understand it any damage caused should also be fixed under warranty. It has been extremely unprofessional, especially the lying. Never in my life will I buy another VW again.
The worst experience, if you have a problem they keep transferring you to another department. I then dealt with a lady named Mimi who refuses to help, why is service so difficult for us South Africans to get right. I will be moving my accounts to another bank.
Struggle to get anything above 4mbps on a 25mbps line between 16:00 and 21:00 at night. They said they would phone me back but they’ve just ignored me. It is impossible to get good service out of them. There chatbot also only gets back to you the following day. Will be cancelling my contract with them.
Horrible experience, TV got damaged and they took it in for assessment. Long story short the removed the top layer on the lcd panel that had the physical crack on it and then accused me of it never having a crack. Even though it was stated on the receipt that they gave me. Pretty neat trick to not pay out for a damaged tv. So in short thoroughly document the damage on your appliances before sending them in!
Vodacom are thieves, I think I’ve just had the most unprofessional service from you. From this point further I think it’s safe to say we will never be using you again. Beginning of last year we ordered a fibre line from as you said it would be up and running within a month or two and you offered us a interim LTE solution which we gladly accepted, fast forward to 2020, we subsequently moved and used the prlevious owners fibre line until it had ended, we then tried to do a relocation and asked VODACOM why our LTE wasn’t working(still not working), they said it should be working, fast forward to March 6th. We phoned and they subsequently told us they had cancelled our fibre in December. They however had still been charging us R599 a month for a service that they had cancelled. The lady then told us she was sorry and she would refund us. Fast forward another month and they took R599 from us again. We then phoned them and they told us again that they are sorry and the debit order has now been stopped. Today we phoned them and they told us that we will in fact not be getting a refund as we had failed to tell them that they had cancelled our contract?!?!?! Vodacom has essentially just stolen R2400 from us and when I said asked why they said they would refund us when in fact they won’t Vodacom told me that the lady was not authorized to say or do that. I wonder how many other people they are stealing from people in this time when people need their money the most?
