“I purchased a pack of biltong among many other things from Woolworths. Expiry date 23 March 2025. When we opened the packet this morning the biltong was moldy. Usually we would just throw the item out. Today I decided to go to the sote and show them. There was such a lack of interest. They swopped it with a new pack but so unsympathetically and with no remorse. Im a regular shopper at Woolworths, the least they could have done us a genujne apology. I have pictures and names of staff if anyone senior is willing to take this up.”

“I went to Woolies Greenacres Queberha for bra's. I was assisted by a very friendly lady named Sakenah who introduced me to a lady named Belinda to take my measurements. Both ladies went out of their way to assist me. Well done ladies, I appreciate your help dearly. You truly put the customer's needs first.”

“There’s a lady called Kgabo at Woolworths in the village centre. She so friendly she always lets us know about the shop sales. I love wings she always lets me know when they have them”

“I baught a chicken pie, the bigger one. I was very disappointed with it. The taste was ok, but it was hard to find the chicken. The small pies are delicious, but there is no resemblance with the bigger one. Next time I would rather buy one at checkers.”

“WW Café in Woodlands has terrible service. I have been there twice and on both occasions the waitresses act like they don’t see you. Waited 20 minutes for my bill today. I ordered a smoothie in take away. As I got it I asked for the bill as I was in a rush. The waitress still expected a tip.She even forgot I had asked for the bill.”

“NEVER EVER USE THEM FOR GIFT DELIVERIES. If its a gift rather buy at the shop and send the gift personally. They sent an empty gift bag and disclosed the internal delivery instructions to the recipient that the gift is supposed to come IN THE GIFT BAG. Mind you the empty gift bag is delivered today only for the actual gift (whose details have been given away) will only be delivered tomorrow”

“Terrible online platform!!! I have been struggling to get past registering, OTP's don't come through to my email. Then they want you to phone them so they can go through the process with you which I just don't feel like doing. It should be a simple online shopping experience. Seriously Woolies. Won't be buying anything online from you.”

“I experienced this twice in a row . They put expired food on the shelf’s and I only realised that when I got home as I packed the food on the counter, as woolworths loyal customer this really disappointed me. Please do something about this!”

“Very unhappy customer - Woolies Dash I’m less the 5 mins from the Somerset West Waterstone Woolies yet my order which was due between 13:00-14:00 is 90 mins late. This is pathetic service from Woolies Dash and this is not the first time. Woolworths has totally lost its client centricity. Order #016*****370 “Hi There, Your Woolies Dash order for 13-14pm is running late by 1h30mins. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. The Woolies Dash Team””

“Woolies dash should be discontinued, they are completely useless. Once again a message to inform me my delivery was going to be 1:30 mins late. Why call it Woolies dash when it’s never dash??”

“The WW Dash app is not half as good as Sixty60. Dash gave me a timeslot and after the timeslot expired I receive a message that my order will be 1hr30mins late! I especially chose that timeslot for a reason. Dash is also slow to inform you about out of stock items. You can also not change your order like on Sixty60 but have to cancel whole order and start again. This service not in line with WW quality we are used to!”

“Woolies Dash is unbelievable. I placed and canceled an order on 29 Jan because I needed a different time slot. My money still hasn't been refunded to me and customer service says it takes 7 to 14 days, with other banks taking 21 to 30 days. WHAT? Pnp ASAP and Checkers Sixty60 both have credit wallets so that if you do cancel an order, you immediately get credited and can order again. Hell, Sixty60 even let's you reschedule your delivery time in-app. And if you do choose to refund your credit wallet, it takes no less than 3 days for BOTH stores. It's so ridiculous. I'd expect more from Woolies, never again.”

“Not impressed with Woolworths online. I placed and order and accidentally chose the wrong address for delivery. However I called immediately and gave the right address. They STILL deliver to the wrong address. Every time I follow up they tell me 24-48 working hours. So that's 24-48 working hours on top of 24-48 working hours.”

“Really bad experience each time! Driver turned back with the order despite being at the gate? Couldn't ask security to let him in?? Now 3 to 5 days for me to get a refund for a delivery containing our food for that day. Checkers does this better im afraid.”

“Excellent service received on 20/01:25 at 14:41 from Teller Chantelle Jordan and Manager Johnna Lee. Upon forgetting my PIN number they were extremely patient and kind! The manager accessed the situation, she spoke kindly and patiently reassured me, then took me aside to be seated and to relax, following which I remembered my pin! Her patience and kindness is much appreciated! Thank you WW for hiring such professional staff!”
