Makro online shopping delays expected

Despite rampant looting and vandalism at its facilities in KwaZulu-Natal, retail group Massmart says it only expects slight delays in delivering online orders from its Makro and Game stores.

One of the biggest targets for looting over the past few days was the Massmart distribution centre in Durban’s industrial hub.

Truely sad what happenend with them, but delays in orders are they standard way of operating.

So instead of 6 months it'll be 9

With Makro deliveries, who will even notice?

How many Massmart (Makro, Game, Builders) stores were looted and burnt?
Walmart can't be happy.

EDIT:
14th July: Cashbuild, confirmed on 14th that a total of 36 of its 317 stores looted.
13th July: Game and Makro, has had 30 of its stores and a mass distribution centre destroyed (no mention of Builders)

Probably worse by now.

EDIT2:
Appliance and grocery retailer Massmart has confirmed that looters gained access to and made off with merchandise in 18 Cambridge stores, 10 Game stores, 8 Builders stores, 3 Cash & Carry and 2 Makro stores.

That awkward moment when deliveries are faster from a burnt down warehouse than Black Friday.
