:rolleyes:

You made one purchase and you think that is sufficient proof! (over-generalization fallacy )

I would recommend a poll survey. You will get much different results.

Takealot's search is pretty useless too

It is fine until it starts returning book results (and it looks like they have somebody's category of just like every research book on every obscure topic ever written, usually for thousands of R's). Then it is just SUPER annoying.

MyBroadband should include some of the smaller players (like Raru / Geewiz) as well.

Sorry to resurrect this, but I think Makro is slowly but surely becoming more useless in the Black Friday month.

What does this mean??

Order status is "Packed" but there's no stock? And the special was sold out in the meanwhile (wasn't when I purchased on Friday).

Oh and the call center number that they plaster all over the site just says "The number is not available right now".

Update 21 Nov:
After a week of struggling Makro finally delivered my dishwasher. I basically get the idea that Makro's stock level system is useless as it very much depends on what happens on any given day on the floor or a shop.

They ended up sourcing a machine at the Riversand Makro - without the delivery guys At Riversand knowing, and while the online system said the whole time that the order was packed and awaiting courier pickup.
