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
