“I’m so disappointed and frustrated with the delay in receiving my refund for an out of stock item. I had purchased groceries online from the store, I was informed that I would receive a refund for the same. It has been a month since I was promised the refund, and I am yet to receive it. I have been patiently waiting for the refund, but I haven’t received anything. I am disappointed with the lack of communication and prompt action from Woolworths. 😡😡😡”

“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.”

“My dash order is late. There's no way of tracking progress on delivery, and the worst is there's no communication from Woolies on delays.”

“Not WW but the app. Very unfriendly. Anyhow my order being refunded and I placed new order. Terribly unfriendly app. Searched for soft 2ply tissues and it comes up with toilet paper only”

“I ordered groceries three hours ago and they still haven't arrived, despite the app claiming that the order was delivered. Called the help centre twice, and all I have to show for it is a diminished airtime balance. A couple of times before, half of my order was undelivered, and I had to wait hours (this seems to be a running theme) for the other half to arrive. Thoroughly frustrating.”

“Woolies dash is absolutely appalling when compared to its competitors. There are no notifications for when your order is on its way and the orders are never delivered in the time frame provided by Woolworth’s. On top of the dissatisfactory service, you are required, not encouraged to pay a tip on top of an exorbitant delivery fee. Absolutely disappointing from a market leader in so many other ways. If you want fast, reliable and consistent service stick to checkers60 60 and pick n pays bottles. Woolies dash is far from acceptable and I will never use it again.”

“Absolutely awful user interface, server crashes, products received damaged and items missing. Use Checkers Sixty60 for better service.”

“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.”

“Anybody CONSTANTLY not getting communication from their DASH shopper? I’ve run out of energy trying to call the Calk Centre & have repeatedly called the F&B Manager at the store. I get no comms at all from the shopper. Tired of not receiving items that I’ve ordered but have no idea until the order arrives.”

“I made an order via the woolworths door dash as a delivery, the driver arrived but apparently could get a hold of me and returned items back to the store, instead of woolworths saying items NOT DELIVERED they said my items were delivered. I eventually called them and told them my items weren't delivered and they said a refund has been processed as yes the driver took items back to the store. I was told to wait 5 to 7 days for the money to appear in my account as it was refunded, guess what I'm still waiting for my refund the service I'm receiving is shocking and disgusting. I feel this door dash app isn't working for woolworths at all it should be cancelled”

“I placed an order just past 15:00 on woolies dash (this was my first time ordering from them), it said its going to be delivered between 16:00-17:00, nothing came. I called customer service and they said no the shop is closed now I must cancel the order. Will never use woolies dash ever again”

“Worst service. After waiting waiting three hours, status is still en-route but the agent tells me the order was abandoned and returned to the store. Such pathetic service.”

“The worst service ever experienced. First time ordering it took 4 and a half hours, tried again today and my ordered is no where and an excuse that the driver delivered. Checkers definitely holds up to there promise unlike woolies Dash.”

“I placed a grocery order on Tuesday morning at 8:30 for a 10:00/11:00 delivery. They never delivered, my emails were ignored, my cries for help were eventually ignored too on Twitter. I had to call now (Thursday afternoon) and they are telling me they have refunded me it will take 5 to 7 working days - what are we supposed to be eating in the meantime?”

“25% of the groceries delivered to me by Dash were either rotten/wilted and of poor quality. After several phone conversations and emails to the call center and 3 days later I’m still waiting for Dash to come collect the bad food items and replace them with fresh ones, despite the promises I got this would be sorted promptly. I’ve had to go to the store to replace some items that I needed urgently which defeats the whole point of ordering online, a service that one actually pays for. I’m bitterly disappointed and this whole situation has cost me time and money (phone calls to call center, driving to the store), and been a great inconvenience considering I’m heavily pregnant (which is why I was using the service in the first place). I’m shocked at how bad Woolworths treat their customers, this could have easily been sorted out within a few hours and 3 days later I’m still waiting. I would definitely not recommend the service, it’s not worth the inconvenience!”

“I ordered 3 items online but only received 2, but still got charged for 3 of them. When I called they said that they only charged me for 1 item and they would be collecting the other extra item because I did not pay for 3 but only 1 even though I can see on my invoice and bank statement that I was charged for 3 items. The lady straight up told me what makes me so proud and then called back 1 minute later saying that she was wrong but this lady had a lot of attitude. They don't want to deliver the other item or give me a refund because this item gets charged per kg and they don't know which one they didn't give me. She said they would only give me my money back if I could confirm which ones they did deliver otherwise I wouldn't get anything. I can't check the prices or the kg because I have already used it and thrown the packaging away. So now this is all my fault because I guess the customer is always wrong. Thank you for stealing my money.”

“How is it possible to order food on a Saturday morning at 8:00 through dash and they say first delivery can only be on Sunday 10:00! What is wrong? I will rather order from checkers 60/60. At least I get my shopping within the hour. Woolworths cancel dash, it's embarrassing.”
