I am not impressed with this RIDICULOUS store. what i am going to say is NEVER purchase a name brand product from them . i have bought 2 branded products 1) was Steve madden shoes - i went back the very next day as in the box were 2 Different sizes - 2 hours of arguing about this i had the box - the slip the everything and it was implied that i swopped them ....... WOW! then 2) someone got me a pair of LEVIS but bought 1 size too small - it was a gift so the Tags were removed - Woolies have the SAME garment on the shelf - they can see they BRAND NEW and NOPE they refuse to exchange. Woolies used to be my go to place - NO MORE treated like rubbish even when THEY made the error Crazy No return allowed no swop out allowed so here i sit with Levi jeans size 30 that reach my thighs !!!!! I am not a twiggy - i am a Marylyn, i have hips!

I would like to thank Itumeleng @ Woolworths Woodlands for assisting me with an Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover Set I was looking for recently. She went the extra mile in finding stock for me. I would also like to thank Thapelo @ Woolworths Menlyn for her service in keeping the two duvet covers for me at Menlyn. From a very happy Woolworths customer. Thank you so much! Jeanette

I'm at Woolies Kids floor in Southgate trying to get shoes for my daughter, I asked a lady Shelly/Sherry or Sharon who's on the floor to assist me and I start by greeting her and greeted her again thinking she didn't hear me the first time, she continued with what she was doing and said "ask the there by the till". Sounded so annoyed and rude.

I am writing to express my shock and concern after discovering a screw inside a roast chicken purchased from your Howick branch. While cutting the chicken, I encountered the foreign object, which posed a serious safety risk. Additionally, the meat itself did not taste fresh or of acceptable quality, and I was ultimately forced to discard the entire product. I trust that this matter will be treated with the seriousness it deserves and that appropriate action will be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.

good day I really hope you are well i giving a 5 star rating as I am a very happy customer. I will be honest I usually cant afford to buy at woolworths as I'm trying to save. I do know that woolworths only sell's the best products so when I can I do go to my nearest store and I also like your specials but recently I went to one of your stores as my kids absolutely love your brand ice cream. I then noticed your smooth peanut butter also woolworths brand. O my word I will never buy peanut butter anywhere else, I never use to eat peanut butter but now I love it (only if its woolworths brand), its so soft an smooth not to mention creamy and my kids also love it. so now if I do grocery shopping I make sure to buy my peanut butter at woolworths even if I have to drive there just for the peanut butter the so be it. so thank you for this delicious product. will keep buying at woolworths whenever I can. kind regards diane brown 064 4320 998 was trying to upload my recent purchase but it said try again later

I love Woolies, most products etc. I don’t appreciate not being able to rate products and having another person review my comment to check if they should post or not????? Let customers review freely!

Gooday I am mainly writing this review because i have a major concern and complaint. I have no issues with service at any woolworths. Really i dont. Its very pleasant shopping there but Woolworths your very inflated unjustified prices is actually sad. Sad that you do this to so many loyal customers. In an already hard economic climate we have to pay rediculous prices. Woolies was great not anymore. Im not going to name and shame any store. This is for rhe big bosses. I hope they see this. I am going to lead a protest with regards to this because us as South Africans are far too accepting. I dont have an account. I always buys for cash and enjoy many of your lovely produce which i sacrifice to buy so imagine my distress when i came home and peeledthe avos which cost R89.. and a tiny chicken noodle salad. I think it may have been cajun which was R74.99. It tasted old and terrible with a few tiny pieces of chicken. I threw it out. The other readymade meals are just damn rediculous and insult to us patrons. Certainly I understand prices went up but the quality and portion size is such an insult. Taking action to make a change.

I don't even want to give one star, but it seems like you need to give a star to be able to write a review. Just bought a sandwich from Woolworths in Sandton City, chicken mayo from the counter where they sell the pies. It does not even have butter on it. Woolworths is extremely expensive and then you do not even have butter on your sandwich and the chicken mayo is dry. Very dissapointed, after paying R52 for a dry sandwich

Worse place to have a credit card. So I got their credit card cause of the vouchers. But after 2 years I decided to close it. So I get a balance and they say OK you can close it 2mrw. I call the next day, no you owe let's say R500 so I pay it and then it reflects as it is now over paid so I call and say okay please close the account. Then some rude lady tells me I owe R6? And I'm like you guys said an amount I paid it and now I owe R6? Then she is like you have to wait 30 days for the R6 to reflect. Like wtf. Don't get a card with them. Worse place ever.

I am very disappointed in Woolworths Benfleur in Witbank these last few weeks. I always purchase my fruit and veggies there, but the last few weeks the fruit barely lasts a week, it just tastes like the fruit itself and the used to be amazing cotton candy grapes are not fresh and crispy as usual. I will always rather pay a little extra for quality fruit and vegetables and then this is what I get. Not your usual standard Woolworths😒

I recently purchased minced beef and sourdough rye bread from Woolworths, but unfortunately, the products didn't meet my expectations. The minced beef was damaged and the meat was off, and I didn't notice the packaging issue until I got home. The sourdough rye bread tasted excessively sour, unlike their usual product. I understand that mistakes happen, but given my proximity to Village Mall (15km away), I was pressed for time and couldn't return the items. I'd also prefer not to interact with the manager on duty due to a previous unpleasant experience, so I'm hoping for a resolution or alternative options.

I received a call from Woolworths stating I need to upgrade my w rewards card. Turned out to be a scam. I notified woolworths headoffice and to be honest the staff members were so dismissive. I cannot believe the service received.

Letter to Woolies What a pleasure to step into Woolies Boardwalk, from the heat & humidity we are currently experiencing in Port Elizabeth! And it’s not only for the pleasant and cool temperature, we also appreciate the welcome and greeting we receive, with a smile, from security guard, Hennie Standor! Thank you Hennie….please keep “standing at the door” You make our day! N. Moosa

Am happy in general esp with their service. However, have written to them numerous times. As a non meat eater for most of my life, have BEGGED them to up the ante on their non meat sandwiches. The egg mayo is so 1980’s and awful. They offered me a R50 voucher, which I declined, as that was not the intention. Our son lives in Constantia and we always pick up sandwiches from Alphen Spar, as we take our dogs out in our combi camper and it’s an easy lunch. Alphen Spar’s sandwiches are third less in price compared to Woolworths. Even their egg mayo sandwiches are SO tasty, with a bit of mustard and dill and shredded lettuce. Woolworths, please STOP resting on your laurels and listen to your customers

I purchased a Corned Tongue from Palmyra Road,cooked it according to the instructions,after the cooking I let it cool and even though the fork pierced the Tongue,when I tried to peel it,it was so difficult which I found concerning, skin of the rind on the Tongue was so chewy.It was the first time I ever tasted such a horrible Tongue.
