Pity one can't give 0 stars. Received sms as well as email on Thursday telling me my order was ready to collect @ Somerset Mall. When I got there on Friday the parcel was nowhere to be found. Spoke to online people twice - nothing came of promises made to call me with feedback.

Least user friendly app of all the delivery apps! And ultimately only half of my order list was available. The rest was out of stock, with no communication about it.

I have been trying to get hold of someone at Woolworths headoffice Cape Town and I get NO response. I used to before but not now. WHY??? I bought a packet of pecan nuts to put in my trifle I make regularly. I decided to buy Woolies pecan nuts as I have bought them before. This time my whole trifle and all my ingredients were wasted as all the nuts that I broke up in the trifle spoilt it because they were all mouldy/ miff tasting and all my guests and family who aet my trifle ( very embarrassing for me told me the nuts tasted miff and old and messed the trifle. I'm so disappointed 😞 Lisa Lewis

I ordered my food online as far back as 5 days ago. My delivery was scheduled to arrive the next day. It's day 5 today and still nothing. I'm very disappointed as the food was meant for my guests on Good Friday. I even called their customer line on the day and I was assured that it would be delivered the following day.

0 rating!!! Purchased underwear at woolworths woodlands, Pretoria East. Realised after purchase that I had the wrong size. Their policy states that underwear could be returned if not worn or opened. Unfortunately the staff at woodlands interpret this policy as "underwear can't be returned" and I must just keep wrong size underwear. I'VE HAD ENOUGH ALREADY AND NEVER ACTUALLY BUYING ANYTHING AGAIN FROM WOOLWORTHS

The Google listing opening times were not updated and it suggested certain stores were still open today on Good Friday which led me to drive there confidently only to find the stores were actually closed - not great Woolworths - we pay a premium and surely you can ensure your IT department takes care of such a simple yet critically important admin process ?

Absolutely shocking, I will not use Woolworths online or Dash again. I don't mind that they don't have half the products that I ordered. It is the payments that are the problem. It took me over a week to get my funds back for an order that never arrived, I then cancelled it and they asked why!!! I put another order in yesterday of R3k, they put that on uncleared and then proceeded to draw R2k off my account so I am R5k short on a R2k order to them and with the long weekend there is nothing they can do!

The Woolies Dash drivers are maniacs and do not obey the road rules at all. I managed to stop the one driver after he skipped about 6 stop streets and he was very rude to me and wanted to report me - for what I am not sure ? Really Wooolworhts if you have your logo on a service you should ve responsible - half of them do not even have licenses !!! Shaughn 082 7847966

I placed an order which contained ferrero rocher chocolate 375g,it was “unavailable” supposedly so they swapped it to a 300g which costs the same price and contains less chocolate,I chose the bigger size box for the exact reason they’re the same price but 300g has less chocolate,besides that my bread expiry date on another order was 2 days after I ordered

I love purchasing the salami sticks from Woolworths but I’ve recently come across a problem that they are constantly being sold in store even when they are expired. I went to a franchise at a garage in Pretoria and the best before date was the 17th of January 2024 and I purchased them on the 16th of March 2024. I tried to buy them again on the 27th of March 2024 but the best before date on the packet was the 15th of March 2024. The salami sticks themselves look strange as well. With Black spots all over.

Woolworths dash drivers wont bring parcels up to your door. You can leave special delivery instruction saying that they should come up to the door and leave the parcels there, but instead they call and argue with you.

I ordered items to be delivered on the 17th of February. The driver arrived earlier than arranged and left. When I asked him to come back, he was irate. I immediately called the service hotline and explained the situation to Woolies Dash, they assured me that I will be refunded immediately. After more than 10 emails to them, it is now 25th March and they have still not refunded me. I will never use Woolies Dash again. Sixty60 and OneCart provide a seamless experience and you don’t need to beg for refunds, it all happens automatically. Woolies Dash Crash and Burn!

Worst customer care I have ever come across and never buy a gift card from them because you will be scammed.

I'm afraid that Woolworth is going to loose my business, why did I shop there before, quality and customer service, that doesn't stand anymore. Their staff are not up to scratch at all Their clothes well cheap Food going downhill Milk ... not as lovely as it used to be Sandwiches awful, all the filling pushed to the front with nothing behind, just not value when paying nearly R60 Ready made meals... hunt for the protein meals is a better name Prices higher, staff not as lovely, no fair value, its Shoprite with nicer shelves....Checkers keep up the good work, we're spending more with you now.

I went to Woolworths Birch Acres to return a set of Pyjamas(top and pants) I got as a gift in exchange for something else and I was told I couldn't refund it because the PJ's are missing a ribbon,a piece of string that is just for decor purposes and that ribbon doesn't even form part of the set. I am astonished by the reasoning capacity of the customer Assistants they employ of late.

Since the inception of Woolworths Dash, payment after ordering is pathetically slow. Took me six attempts to pay this morning. WTF are Checkers 60 60 so easy to pay?

I have created 2 lists on the online portal, one with everyday products like baby marrows and tomatoes, the other will less frequently bought products, like rice. Every single item on both lists were flagged as not available. I won't be bothering with trying again.

I would not recommend Woolworths online to anyone. I’ve ordered items that never reached my door, when I follow up to get a refund, they keep giving me a runaround. It’s been two months now waiting for my refund. Whenever I call, they keep telling me that they’ve logged a ticket and the next time I follow up, there’s no ticket on the system. What a horrible experience!
