“Used Dash app for the first time today. Got a courtesy message along the lines of, "We'll ask you for a substitute should an item be out of stock". I thought,"How cute." Order delivered on time, but no eggs, no spinach and no sign of the courtesy message promised earlier. On the other side of the country, my family received all their items from Sixty60, and for a fraction of the price I paid at Woolies :) All is well; we live and learn.”

“While I was at the cashier. The floor manager questioned me the customer on why I am buying a particular product every 2nd day. The reaction from the floor manager was offensive to my choices as it was none of her business on my selection of choice . She was just supposed to do her job.”

“So tired of trying to do my weekly shop through Woolies Dash and constantly having to choose alternatives and then if you do get what you originally ordered, it’s literally on the Sell By date so that you only have 1day to use the products, specifically any chicken or fresh produce. Also, why are the instore specials not available on the app?”

“Your Woolworths Dash App is pathetic. Your chat with shopper doesn’t work. When the shopper calls you (if they bother), the line is so bad you can’t hear them, then they don’t bother calling back. No initiative used and after paying R35 delivery, your parcel arrives with most items missing. Not good enough and totally unacceptable. I then have to get in my car to drive to the store only to find the items in the shelf!!! Very annoying! Complaints fall on deaf ears. As a regular online shopper this must be the worst app with no plans to obviously fix the problem! I am a daily customer with daily complaints. Do you care ? I think not! LONGBEACH MALL food section is always out of stock of items I buy on a regular basis and the same answer is “our supplier is out of stock”! Get your act together.”

“The app is worse than the web browser on the phone. I used the web browser for 2 years. downloaded the app 2 weeks ago, and it’s nonsense. Keeps on crashing. Dont know what’s the point”

“If I'm paying for a delivery with Dash and those are YOUR given times for when delivery will take place, then deliver on time! I had a lunch planned around YOUR delivery times. Thanks for spoiling it Woolies Dash and Woolies West Coast Village. I don't need excuses like the driver has my order and is on his way when he clearly wasn't, the app didn't update, it's not even a 5 minute drive on his scooter, please don't lie to me either, I'm not your fool. Be considerate towards your customers who are actually paying for this service and supporting you. Now let's see when the refund for the short delivered items is issued.”

“Order meant to be delivered between 11am and 1pm after I checked early in the morning that this would happen!! Never arrived. Tried calling Online shopping 6 times … no reply. Now remember that online shopping call centre staff are working from HOME I believe, so why they not answering their phones? Interesting. So never assume you’ll get your order even after you wait 5 hours. Really bad service and response handled incredibly bad by online Manager who really sounded completely disinterested. Woolworths need to up their game on the online food side. Not sure how you can be assured you get your order when online staff don’t answer their phones.”
