Good Morning

I placed an order 05.02 @10:12, only option to choose delivery as 14:00-16:00

@15:50 I phoned in as the order shows completed but no update on delivery, I phoned in 4x there after which I was advised they cannot get a hold of the driver or the store, at 16:20 I told the lady to please CANCEL the order and arrange a refund. This morning 06.02 I phoned in again as the order still has not been cancelled, I was advised they cannot get a hold of the store to find out what is going on, several calls there after still the same story. My order has still not been cancelled, no refund and also could put me through to a supervisor.

This is unacceptable as I paid for an order I didn't received, it cant be cancelled, I cant be refunded and nobody can assist me over the phone? Order #[protected]

Desired outcome: Refund and ACTUAL FEEDBACK OR SOMEONE TO RETURN MY CALL AS PROMISESD SEVERAL TIMES

Pick n Pay Store employees.

Today at 10:08 in the morning I walked into Pic n pay at wonderboom junction, wanting to buy a vape at the front, greeted the cashier, he completely ignored me and continued to look at his phone standing there for a good 20 seconds and there is absolutely no one willing to assist, so I walked out feeling completely embarrassed! It is not the first time something like this happened, but today was the last time!

Pick n Pay ASAP PICK A PAY MITCHELS PLAIN 7 Jan 2024

Very angry still for an ASAP order that was 3hours late. Order at 10;27 only to receive order at 13;19. No apology from driver as he stated that it was not his fault. Shop was not busy, and my order was packed and stood there being ignored, and this was not the first time I've ordered. We (had visitors)

had a very poor Sunday lunch due to the lateness of my order. Your ASAP customer services are useless. logged 4 complaints only to receive a response at 18;00 to stated that your query was resolved. Really!

David Tannenbaum. PnP Smart Shopper [protected].

I am in the UK. (Tel [protected] 729056 email [protected]@sky.com) I ordered a birthday surprise for a friend.

Online o/n [protected] for delivery in Silverhurst/Constantia Cape Town.

Placed on 03/12/23 for delivery 08/12/23 for 6x6 JC le Roux Le Domaine.

ONLY 3 x6 were delivered and a birthday party almost ruined.

Notified PnP of short delivery, call ref [protected] on 08/12 and on 09/12 the day of party, nothing had been done.

PnP notified again by phone, to be told "It's the weekend" and the store (PnP Hyper Ottery) is not responding. They're busy!

Thank goodness for Checkers nearby and one of the guests who saved the day.

I request a refund for the 3x6 not delivered together with the delivery charge. Totalling R265.00 + 3 calls charged to me at GBP 15.00 = ZAR 360.00

Claimed loss: R625.00

Desired outcome: Refund

Pick n Pay Delivery service

Hi.

On Friday 24 November 2023 I placed an order to be delivered to 33 Lucas Street Newton park port Elizabeth at 9h40 in the morning.

It was refreshments for our paying guests.

The app said delivery will take place 11h00-11h30. By 13h00 the order still has not arrived and our clients left very disappointed and angry causing me a big loss in money/income.

I tried calling and setting this poor service right but was unsuksesfull in my attempts with pick n pay.

Is there anything you can do to help with my already loss in income and most probably future business loss from this specific client due to your poor lack of service..?

I await your speedily reply.

Jacques

Claimed loss: Unhappy clients canceled their stay

Desired outcome: Loss of income replacement reimbursement

Pick n Pay Expired products

This experience left an unsatisfying taste in our mouth, but literally did the yoghurt we ordered. We placed an order online, it was delivered Saturday morning after all the complications of completing it anyway.

With the order were yogurt ( on a deal ). When we wanted to use it Saturday night to serve to our guests, as part of a salad, we came to terms that the taste was off and It has expired the 19th of November. With an embarrassed face we had to take the bowls from our guests.

I phoned the customer service Sunday 3 times, and were cut off all those times when they picked up and transferred the call to what relevant department according to them. Till now no one even called back or compensated us for this ordeal.

I am so disappointed in the store Pick n pay and partners for selling expired stuff to us as customers to use. I don't have transport to go to a Pick n pay with this query, after all I don't really have to because the store needs to be sure of the products.

I hope to hear from you soon. I also attached the pictures for your reference.

Pick n Pay ASAP

It has been 2 weeks since I requested a refund from Pick n Pay ASAP!
Since the 3rd of November till today the 21st of November the funds are not in my account.
For a huge company like this? I am ashamed I ever supported this company.
There is no service response or replies to my frustrations timeously. Replies are given 2 days after. Something needs to be done about this. You cannot hold my funds like.
They send me shots of the refund process, but the funds are not being credited to my account!

Claimed loss: R304.00

Desired outcome: Refund me.

Pick n Pay Poor order service delivery

I'm residing in Glen Marais and all the time the bread is not available or even worse most orders are out of stock. The new app is worse and not user friendly at all. All orders are coming from Festival Mall and yet we have two Pick n Pay stores right in Glen Marais. This service around Glen Marais is poorest and mostly when orders are always not available, even when we have bought earliest in the morning. This is the second time complaining about your worst service.

Desired outcome: Fix your asap app and make sure all goods are available.

Pick n Pay Incompetent customer service

I am typing this email in capital letters for you to understand I am furious.

See the reference number below.

I placed the order at 11:04, confirmed the change of address at 11:14.

I was assured that because my work address falls under canal walk as well, which is closer to canal work than my home, that it would be delivered to my work address.

I called again at 11:52 to confirm the address has been changed and the lady assured me yes it was and she would call the driver as extra assurance.

It was not!

The driver called to say they at my home address!

I called again and spoke to a young man who hung up on me!

I have to apparently reorder the order I placed over 2 hours ago.

Ref: [protected]

Desired outcome: FOR FULL REFUND. OR FOR MY ORDER TO BE DELIVERED WITH A CALL FROM MANAGEMENT TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!
