“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!”

“I am extremely disappointed . I purchased fresh produce online in 5th January, delivery 6th. The incorrect items were delivered. The driver took them back . Since then I have been experiencing difficulty in receiving my refund. I was told 3-5 working days . My last interaction (per email) I was told that the incorrect amount was “plotted” and has to be rectified???”

“I am unhappy with the Woolies dash service not delivered ALL items ordered and paid for. The App is slow to inform the user on out of stock items. I had essential items for delivery to prepare for supper not delivered. It's really annoying and crediting my Account later does not Cut it.”

“They are so slow delivering later than the time stated. They should ask Pick ‘n Pay and checkers how they do it because wow the worst ever”

“I ordered fashion items before Christmas and still have not received my order. I have been calling customer services with promise that team leaders would call me back, but they do not! When they check my details on their system they see that I have waited more than necessary for my purchase, however, I am given no reason for the delay. I am absolutely dissatisfied with how they have handled my purchase. I have asked for a refund as I was given no alternative to correct their actions.”

“YOU ARE THE BIGGEST COMPANY THAT LIES ABOUT THE CLOTHING ON 50% DISCOUNT. THEY LIRE SO MUCH THEY RIP YOU OFF. THE SHOES WERE NORMAL PRICE 399.00 I PAID 299.00 50% THE PRICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 199.00 AS 50% DISCOUNT. DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR SALES THEY ARE NOT TRUE REFLECTION THEY LIKE TO ROB PEOPLES . SIS ON YOU THIEVES”

“I do not recommend using Woolies Dash unless you want to have your money unlawfully deducted off your account. I ordered goods on Thursday 9th Jan , the money was deducted from my account on the day but my delivery did not arrive. I have sent numerous emails to The Dash call centre and even copied in the CEO but I have still not received my refund which was promised to me over the weekend. I am a regular Checkers Sixty60 shopper and never experienced anything like this before, Sixty60 reserves the funds , keeps you updated on the app throughout the transaction and only deduct once goods have been received. It is totally absurd that an upmarket retailer like woolworths has such poor technology and systems that customers are not provided with updates on online same day delivery orders, there is no functionality to edit your profile on the app and money is deducted from customers even if goods have not been delivered. Really Woolworths is this the best you can do? How are you putting you customer first and doing good business when a simple refund of money cannot be done?”

“Good Day The day before Xmas, at the boardwalk branch in PE, there was a female manager on duty, whom I’ve seen for the first time. She was very unhelpful & impolite. I hope she was just a backup and not permanently there, as I shop there every second day or so, being 4km from the boardwalk, also we are not at all accustomed to such bad service and attitude! Thank you for striving for good leadership which we are accustomed to at most, if not, all of the branches!, country wide … Sandton being my favorite branch!”

“Worst experience with wollies, purchased items online, never arrived from December till now, I was told cell number was incorrect, gave them a correct one, still failed to deliver, today I'm told it was out for delivery seven times but never reached me, because someone didn't update my info. Their system says it been delivered but I haven't seen my stuff. Total mess, confusion and lack of organization.”

“I usually love Woolies 100% but however have a complaint with this particular item I purchased on the 30th of December 2024. A beautiful white ladies peakcap for my holiday in George. Unfortunately I found once wearing it that it was digging into my forehead. It is so uncomfortable to wear. I would not recommend anyone to purchase this cap. You might find the same discomfort as I do. So I can't even return it as I've used it at the pool. Photos to follow.”

“Dash delivery had missing items and the store made unauthorized substitutes. If an item is out of stock, then call or WhatsApp me so I can choose my own substitutes because your "choose a substitute" option on the App is a joke. It never allows me to pick a different product.”

“Tiramisu dessert and cake- the original was not on shelf so I grabbed the cake and the desert×2. It's edible however nothing great and tastes nothing close to tiramisu. It's expensive at the convenient store and a disappointment as after tasting no one even wants to eat it. It's palatable but disappointing if you're expecting a simple Teramissu end up with a vanilla sponge cake topped with super sweet mascarpone mouse that's tastes nothing like the mouse on the original tiramisu. R279 and R129 later only for it to be to sweet to our liking. Let's not talk of the craving that made me take the drive there and probably why the disappointment is even felt much more.”
