Placed a Pick n Pay ASAP grocery order…
Placed a Pick n Pay ASAP grocery order at 18:00 from Pick n Pay Clearwater Mall for my family, expecting delivery within the stated window of 19:00–19:30.
19:00 – Order marked as ready. App says: “Waiting for a driver.” Still within ETA, so no concern yet ⏳
19:30 – Delivery window passes. Status unchanged. Still “Waiting for a driver.” Now starting to worry.
20:25 – Checked again. No driver assigned. No update. No communication from the store or support. This is already frustrating.
20:37 – Still waiting. By now the store is already closed, yet the app continues saying a driver will collect shortly. Completely misleading ⚠️
20:49 – Situation unchanged. Family still waiting for groceries that clearly aren’t coming tonight.
21:00 – Still no driver. Still no delivery. And now the app doesn’t even allow cancellation. Unacceptable.
This is a nearly R1,000 order and a complete service failure. No delivery, no communication, no cancellation option, and my family left inconvenienced late in the evening.
Other grocery delivery platforms clearly notify customers before store closing time if an order cannot be fulfilled. That basic service safeguard appears to be missing here.
At this point we are no longer interested in receiving this order. We expect a full refund processed first thing in the morning.
Extremely disappointing experience from Pick n Pay Clearwater Mall. 😞⏳⚠️
