| Question: |
| What is End Control and
why is it necessary? |
| Answer: |
End Control is the final check of a sales invoice.
This is conducted just before the customer exits the sales floor.
The process of End Control ensures that no mistakes have been made
in charging the price of the product you have bought and in the quantity
you require.
Due to the enormous and continuous movement of stocks through our
doors, errors will occur if left un-checked. End Control ensures that
our customers are not penalized because of this. However we do our
best to conduct this process as smoothly and as swiftly as possible.

| Question: |
| Why does Makro charge
for a Shopping Bag? |
| Answer: |
In order to maintain the best and the most competitive
prices, Makro keeps all additional services at a minimum.
Furthermore, as a global policy, Makro-Habib discourages the use of
polythene bags. We hope to curtail their use by putting a charge on
them. Back to top |
| Question: |
| Why is there a charge
on Credit Cards? |
| Answer: |
Makro is a low cost, low profit wholesaler and
everything at Makro is designed to ensure that it remains that way.
As a general global rule, Makro being a Cash & Carry does not
accept credit cards; however very early on in our operations in Pakistan,
we realized that this exception will have to be made to facilitate
our customers. All our prices are strictly monitored and maintained
at a certain level. The use of Credit Cards is a personal preference
so the additional charge of 1.73% is billed only to those customers
who choose to pay through this method.
Unlike some other businesses we do not have such costs built in our
prices. Credit Cards
All Visa and Master Cards are accepted at Makro at a financial charge
of 1.73%. Debit Cards
Makro accepts debit cards of MCB and Habib Metropolitan Bank with
no service charges. ATMs
All Makro Centres have ATMs for your convenience. Banks
We have a Bank on all our premises for your convenience.

| Question: |
| Why do we have pre-packed
Makro Units? |
| Answer: |
A Makro Unit is a bulk pack which is made for the
convenience of the professional customer. Our professional customers
are representatives of retail outlets, hotels, restaurants, catering
services, cafeterias, offices, institutions and the service industry
in general.
A Makro Unit makes it easy for them to carry the products in the bulk
packs they require. Bulk packs also minimize Makro's handling costs
thus enabling us to keep our prices as competitive as possible.
Wheelchairs – Makro has wheelchairs for customers who need this
assistance.
General Sales Tax – Makro
prices are inclusive of GST wherever applicable. No
Minimums on Purchase – Makro does not have a limit
on the minimum purchase amount. At Makro, all our customers are important
to us. Children are Welcome – Makro
welcomes children. However we do remind our customers that we have
a high-racking environment with fork-lifts and big trolleys moving
on the sales floor at all times. As responsible parents and adults,
please help us keep an eye on your children. Vast
