Placing online orders has its pros and cons. Unfortunately, after waiting almost a week for delivery, an annoyed woman received the wrong product.

Purchase gone wrong

Actress Lerato Nxumalo expressed her anger at receiving the wrong fridge from Makro. After sharing an unboxing video on her TikTok account (@lratonxumalo), the woman saw that it was not what she ordered.

She tried calling the store multiple times but was unsuccessful until she dialled the call centre. Hoping for a resolution from the lady on the other end of the call, she was no help. The employee said they could not assist unless someone from the store from which Lerato bought the fridge answered.
