I went to Makro in Cannington hoping that it would be like the UK or South African operation. It was absolutely rubbish, It's a crappy discount store like Crazy Clarks & does not sell in bulk. If you find a decent trade wholesalers let me know.

Makro and Crazy Clarks were part of the same parent organisation, hence the similarities ;)

Yes, and they are as rubbish as the UK ones. What I found really scary was the layout was identical to the one in Luton. Never brought anything from there either. Nice idea crap products. IN MY OPINION ANYWAY ;)
