Woolworths Online Issue - Olive or Call?

Hey all,

Woolies (or the Uber driver) messed up the whole order as in I got someone else's shopping. This is literally my very first order with them too, lol.

Anyway, I'm trying to get it sorted and was directed to the Olive chatbot. I've submitted the request to refund everything because that's the only option they gave me… But there is a customer service phone number that goes late into the night.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Is it better to call or wait for the refund process. Ideally I'd like it fixed/closed off asap.

Thanks✌️

Edit: Thanks again all - turns out calling the supplied Woolies number just redirects to a voice version of Olive lol. So same result either way for those who get stuck with the same issue as me.

Edit 2: I left it with Olive for 2 days with no response. But I found with Olive if you type "can I speak to a real person?" they'll send you to a service rep who can solve the problem pretty much immediately over chat. So if you're ever in a similar situation this would be my recommendation. Hope this helps 👍

    Asking randoms online if you should make a phone call, what a time to be alive.

  • Won't hurt to call them, you won't get too far with the chatbots. Call them up, you'll get it fixed within 10 minutes.

    I had the same but with food with deliveroo.. online agent gave a refund of the order and I got to keep the food

  • yep don't worry it's all yours. Bonus, Enjoy.

  • Olive. Just wait for a few days. If they don't issue you refund then chat with the online service rep

    Understand that doesn't solve the current problem of not having the stuff you ordered.

    I've had someone else's shopping given to me at that contactless driveway collection (delivered straight to boot). Was a real pain as I didn't find out until I got home.

  • Looks like their website is borked at the moment (accounts aren't authenticating) so may be worth waiting until tomorrow to escalate

    Seems they locked a bunch of accounts due to "suspicious activity"

    Use the feedback form, usually they respond in 24hours. Olive is useless.

  • if u call, and you don't answer or give bad answers a dozen times , it goes to a real person

    but I was on wait for 1 hour and the person wasn't very helpful

  • Always olive.
