Woolworths Anmeldelser 

The first time in 20 years ive tried paying for items on the woolies app with my store card, but to no avail. Ive reported it, sent emails, calls made, and its more than a month, i still haven't heard from them. I buy items if clothing and choose a color and get sent incorrect colors. It happensed on 2 occasions. I was asked to review the invoices and receive an apology, but no call, and then another email saying my issue is resolved. Their prices aren't cheap, and u pay for bags and delivery but it seems Woolies are getting worse by the day. The call centre consultants dont even know how to fix issues, they ask u to try this and that.
No man
And it doesn't seem to bother them that they have this terrible rating even on Hellopeter
I wont stop complaining. The need to jack up. My account is almost paid up. Ill most likely close account and buy elsewhere.

I am giving 1 star because there is no option to give zero.
I have ordered from Woolworths online twice, and both times my orders were never delivered. What makes it worse is the complete lack of communication. No calls, no emails, no updates — you are left to chase them yourself.
The order status shows “out for delivery”, but the delivery never happens. When you try to contact customer service, it’s very difficult to get clear answers or assistance.
This has been a frustrating and disappointing experience, especially from a brand that is supposed to offer reliable service.

A massive huge heartfelt thank you to Junain (I hope that this is the correct spelling), the wonderful manager at the V&A Waterfront Cape Town food store.
I have an addiction. Woolworths Extremely creamy mint icecream suckers, to be exact.
Driving to various stores seeking these elusive suckers has become an obsession. I’ve cornered managers of various stores and asked if I can order a few boxes. I have given my contact details to all of them with promises to contact me once they’ve been delivered. It’s been a futile operation as I’m still waiting to hear from them.
I went to the uk last month and tried their versions of mint icecream suckers but was not impressed. Upon arriving back in Capetown, I went to waterfront Woolworths store to replenish my fridge and to look for my favourite ice cream suckers. Again no stock in their freezer! I cornered the manager and explained my plight. He went to the computer and said there are 9 boxes at another Woolworths store. I said I would take them all! He said he would go there himself the next day, on his way to work, (in his free time) and would call me once he had arrived at the store with the merchandise. He had placed frozen water bottles in his own insulated bag to keep the precious cargo frozen for the journey. He handed them over to me and I placed them in my own freezer friendly Bag. Junain, you went over and beyond the call of duty! You brought me to tears with your kindness and dedication to your job.
I cannot thank you enough for going the extra mile for me! I am eternally grateful and thankful for the incredible service. Woolworths have a star on their team and I seriously hope they recognize your dedication.
In the meantime I will savour every mouthful of deliciousness of my 56 minty ice cream suckers. I hope the supplier starts manufacturing the mint flavour as zealously as they make all the other flavours for Woolworths.

Ordered a Gift card to be delivered. They call at 6:30am on a Saturday to deliver at 7:00. This is NOT a convenience at this time, it's an interruption of personal time. Woolworths probable won't respond, as they never have before. Just show what their real attitude towards their customers are. Take it, or leave it. We don't care

I ordered 3 clothing items from Country Road Woolworths through online shopping. When I opened the Woolworths package containing my items I was really disappointed. The items look like they've been thrown in tothe package. No care was taken to fold the clothing items or wrap them in tissue paper or any another protective wrapping. All the items are creased. It seems the quality of country road online is not the same as the quality of country road in the stores. Almost as if it kept separate. The quality of the clothing is definitely not what I would have expected from Country Road together with the presentation on delivery is just overall poor service. This is the second time I've ordered Woolworths Country Road and both times I must say the packaging is really shoddy and the quality is poor. Woolworths do better. Will not order again.

Firstly I’d like to start by saying that never in a million years would I of thought that WOOLWORTHS would be committing FRAUD!!! In March we bought groceries online, like we always do every single month. My husband goes onto his banking app to approve the purchase like he always does for big amounts! Somehow, not the same day the funds did not go off. As per WOOLWORTHS it was a technical error on their end! There’s a call recording for that with an agent by the name of KAYLA PAULSEN. Anyway on our end we did not know the funds didn’t go through, like I said my husband approved it on his banking app. Fast forward to 2 months down the line, WOOLWORTHS decides to take the funds from my husbands account on the 13th of May! They did not inform him about what has happened, no one sent an email, sms or even picked up the phone to let us know that they would be debiting this money from his account. WOOLWORTHS without my husbands consent went into his account and stole his money! Yes I’m saying stole because that’s what it is! WOOLWORTHS has committed fraud and now want to send me a 1000 voucher for their mistake!! I’m not going to shut up until I’m satisfied with the outcome! Don’t url ever think that it’s right to be going into customers accounts months later and just start debiting funds without their consent or knowledge!!! This is wrong on so many levels!!!

My order supposed to get delivered on the 09/05/26 and it still hasn't.
Eventho on the app it shows delivered.

I am very unhappy that Woolworths has decided for me that I cannot take responsibility for disposing of my plastic packaging bags, while they themselves use masses of plastic packaging, which they supply me as food packaging, and allow me to dispose of this responsibly

Push delivery back without warning. Now I miss out on work function while waiting for a subhuman to deliver.

The Values on their website of which CUSTOMER FIRST is a lie! I fell in their Cavendish store in August 2025 and injured my head and my back. I had medical and X-ray expenses that they refused to pay. When I asked for the footage of the incident they sent footage that only showing me walking to the aisle where I fell, nothing of the actual incident. they took their own time to communicate with me and you cannot get through to anyone higher than the clan in headoffice. I am still hurt the way I was treated as a loyal customer.The fall was due to a spill of a client who broke a bottle of olive oil and the cleaners trying to clean it with water. I did not notice any warning sign, hence my request for the footage which was clearly tampered with.

It has got quality and suitable for everyone even people who on low living status, the customer friendly

Stay away from their green Avos, they are terrible...Hass is their best avos, the rest are bad, not even a cent.

My wife and I visited the W@A store Capetown on January 27 ,I had a accident with store display stand I caught my little toe cut it , theres no first aider in the store , they just give me a plaster , The customer service was to contact me, but never did , went back to store once more , give them my phone number email , still no contact ,, I called them I got no apology, no offer of a good will gesture very poor and upsetting

Received dirty and damaged clothing for an online order, must be returned and refunded, how is this possible from Woolworths?

Beware using this store if you visit from abroad. I made a purchase from a Woolworths store in Nairobi. The shop took a duplicate payment for my purchase. When I initially complained to head office they refunded the money but then took the payment again and told me to contact the store directly. They have provided no contact details for the store and there are none online - they are clearly trying to make this difficult and avoid repaying the money.

I brought a award winning cooked turkey breast for xmas in early november 2025. The instructions said keep in fridge 1-5 degress with use-by date 26.12.25 which I did. I was wondering how this would keep so long in the fridge but I trusted the instructions as it was vacuumed sealed. Well on xmas day I took it out to warm up and what did I see there was air in the wrapping I knew it was off. I inspected it carefully to see if there was any hokes in the plastic that I may have done when storing it, there was none. My husband took it back the next day to get a refund. No refund was given instead he as able to buy more food which I did not want especially the day after xmas with all the left overs you have. Very dissappointed with woolies for your customer service and for spoiling our xmas lunch

What began as a concern raised at a store level quickly exposed a far more serious issue: a complete systems failure in how Woolworths handles sensitive matters relating to gender-based violence across its organisation.

After raising my initial concern in good faith, the issue escalated across multiple internal touchpoints including store management, customer service, social media teams, complaints handling, and the press office. Instead of clarity, care, or consistency, each escalation revealed further misalignment, poor communication, and a lack of accountability.

What has been most disturbing is the stark disconnect between Woolworths’ public statements and my private experience. Publicly, the company positions itself as a brand that stands with GBV victims, emphasising values of dignity, respect, and support. Privately, the responses I received across different teams repeatedly contradicted those values. Messages were inconsistent, dismissive at times, and in some cases caused additional distress.

The issue was not handled with the sensitivity or seriousness that a GBV-related matter demands. Different departments appeared to operate in silos, with no shared understanding of context, no continuity of care, and no clear ownership of the problem. Social responses conflicted with complaint responses. Press office positioning conflicted with direct communications. What should have been a coordinated, empathetic response instead became fragmented and deeply disheartening. Despite multiple promises by Woolworths that I would receive updates, this was never done. The only update I received was after I followed up multiple times, across multiple platforms and email addresses.

While Woolworths has stated that it stands with GBV victims, I did not feel stood with at any point in this process. I felt unheard, unsupported, and left to navigate an incoherent system during a moment that required care, accountability, and integrity.

This experience raises serious questions about whether Woolworths’ public commitments to GBV awareness and support are meaningfully embedded into its internal systems, training, and response protocols, or whether they exist primarily at the level of messaging.

Standing with GBV victims cannot be performative. It must be reflected consistently across every touchpoint, especially when a real person is asking to be heard.

WARNING: I got very bad food poisoning from large bag of stir fry vegies I bought from Woolworths. First time ever.

Woolworths are you skipping steps to cut costs?

Called in early to do our shopping could not find a standard trolley anywhere lots of big ones which we had to use but so awkward and so big when we got to our car there was all the standard trolleys all over the car park this is a situation that needs to be sorted and I would think not a hard problem to solve.
