“I went to Woolworths in Rosebank to exchange a linen shirt as I had purchased the wrong size. I was helped by Bongani Ndlela in the Men’s Department. Bongani went to great efforts to find a store which had the size I needed. After 45 minutes of hanging around, I left the store and gave Bongani my contact details. He promised to do his very best to locate a replacement shirt.
Later the same evening, Bongani sent a message to me advising me that he had managed to find the shirt in the size I wanted. I am so grateful to Bongani for the great lengths he went to, to help me. Very satisfied customer.
Thank you Bongani Ndlela 🏆🏆🏆”
“After so many emails regarding ladies underwear I have been ignored totally by Woolworths.I get a response saying an agent will contact me but still nothing.I have been asked to send my underwear as proof after I wrote that Woolworths sells cheap material for ladies panties that after a few washes the hems come off.I am still waiting for the technologist to reply as to why this is happening but still nothing.They have my panties with them.Do now what??Are the making my panties ????This is really bad,at least let me know what the technologist found out about the material .I hope someone from Woolworths will read this and take notice.”
“Thank you once again Woolies Boardwalk PE, well done! For being out of stock on dark chocolate mocca coffee for the umpteenth time! You just can’t get it right ! And they don’t even give you a voucher for your time and effort! I suppose they’ll be bankrupt if they do!
I was so disappointed I didn’t even bother to shop as I usually do while waiting for my coffee! 👏”
“I am extremely disappointed with the service I received at Greenstone Woolworths.
I bought a pair of jeans in Knysna washed them when i got home to Johannesburg the next day, before wearing them and then discovered they were a size too big.
When I tried to change them I was told they were not in a resaleable condition as they had had been washed.
I am quite shocked at the lack of customer service.”
“I've experienced a very bad service at mams mall.I bought the wrong shoes for my son on 12th Feb '24 ,the following day I returned for refund but unfortunately they refused because I paid with virtual card n was not possible for card reversal using that virtual card even though I showed them the card no on my phone was corresponding with the number on the slip and the were so rude 😢”
“Woolworths @ The Glen Shopping Centre. They offer T Shirt bras for R199,00. I have been buying these bras for years but can never find a 38C. There is always a problem when looking for these bras and I complain everytime as it is time consuming. I get the same answer every time, it is a popular size. So why does Woolworths not oder more. Tholakele on No. 011 682-5900 helped me today by phoning to see which branch has this size. She has promised to phone me as soon as she gets off the phone which is now 2 hours later. I have an account with Woolworths but am not a happy customer.”
“Woolworths is seriously slacking. I made a payment on the 7th of February, they could not find the payment because they changed my account number without telling me and now they have an account in arrears label on my account. This is so disappointing.”
“Bad experience today, from picker/shopper that goes on and offline. Who doesn’t even respond. To the driver who got here and never said anything, to my order being returned to my order being labelled as delivered to being told my order has been cancelled to being to told I’ll only get my refund in 3-5 days… That time, l had ordered washing powder and toothpaste!!! Amongst other things!!! Disappointed!!! I’ll stick to “Checkers 60” there’s hardly ever drama there!”
“Frustrated with the wait once the app indicates they are packing and you can chat with your shopper.
My shopper goes on and offline. Does not reply.
I dont think the packing has started and conawuwntlu shopper doesn't acknowledge the messages.
Yet I'm expected ro stand by as shipper only has 5 mins to make a suggestion before moving on.
1 and a half hours later and I receive a sms at that my order has been collected.
But the app still says packing.....go figure
The app is problematic.hardly ever runs smoothly”
“Unbelievably bad customer service.. trying to query an account and a dozen or more emails later and R100 worth of airtime and four phone calls and got nowhere.. seriously bad... not what you expect from these guys. Am closing my account. Goodbye Woolworths.”
“Very good customer service.With respectful and cheerful till operators.Lysah Mabona as it say on the till slip but her name badge says Lonah in Woolworths Boskruin,she is very energetic and fast.I think I saw her for the third time trying to help pensioner customers put back groceries to the trolleys.I love her empathy and respect.However that does not mean other operators are unlike her,they are also helpful.This made me enjoy shopping at Woolworths even more cause I felt cared for.”
“Woolworths… you are about to lose my business!! On the go, I bought a microwave chicken stroganoff….
Hardly any chicken and completely tasteless!!
Is this what you want to put out to the business community?
Unacceptable!!!!”
“Abysmal app. Half the time it freezes. Then items are out of stock and a waste of money for the delivery. Made an order today and one item substituted that I didn’t want. And some items omitted. Not the first time I have had this problem. Will not use their app again. Ever.”
“We bought the smoked Norwegian salmon on Woolies dash and it was off when opened to prepare for supper that evening. I lodged a complaint immediately with photos and barcodes requesting a refund and Woolworths has still not responded. I’ve even reviewed the product on the app but my review was taken down. This is absolutely disgusting customer service.”
“Woolies dash not a match for checkers 60 who is always on time and trustworthy. It’s the 3rd time I am being disappointed by woolies dash, either the order disappears or they are 2 hours late.
PLEASE UP YOUR GAME”
“Woolworths is losing their exclusivity and professionalism. They are very much in the same category for shoppers at Checkers. I waited 2 hours for 10 items to get the call from their store that items are out of stock. On top of that, you don't get refunded immediately. You need to wait up to 14 days for your money. The tipping of drivers
should be a preference and not mandatory. I am disgusted by Woolworths service!!! I will be using 60/60 in the future.”
