Retail and marketplace offers
Makro is a South African retailer with an online shopping hub and a marketplace programme. Read who supplies the actual item and the terms that apply to it, rather than assuming every online listing is supplied in the same way.
Planet24 is a South African marketplace. Its listings should be compared by model, quantity, condition and accessories. It should not be assumed to match Makro’s selection or store services.
Check pack sizes and dimensions
For household supplies, compare the quantity per pack; for appliances, compare the exact model and dimensions. A lower displayed price is not a meaningful comparison if the other listing contains more items or a different appliance version.
Planet24 requires sellers to include national transport in product prices. Compare Makro’s current delivery terms for your order and address when calculating the complete cost.
Choose according to the available offer
Include Planet24 in a shortlist only when the actual listing fits the purchase. Read returns and seller information before deciding. Online payments remain disabled on Planet24, and a pending-payment order is not evidence of payment or dispatch.
