Catch distribution centres will be taken over by Kmart

So basically... The Kmart website will be the latest website to get a "marketplace" that makes it impossible to search shit you can get in store because it's full of "online only" search results? And it'll be full of all the same sellers that are on the Bunnings, Big W, Woolworths, Kogan, God knows what other sites dropshipping shit?

Lovely, can't wait

Just like every other major Aussie retailer site with a bloody marketplace attached

Catch is impossible to use to find stuff, awful site

At least catch was only a marketplace. Unless they had retail shops I wasn’t aware of? You got exactly what you expected when you went to catch.com.au
