Your delivery has been delayed - AGAIN!!!

I am SICK AND TIRED of having my parcels either ****** or delayed!!! I realise I'm in an outlying area, but really - this is the second "your delivery has been delayed" message for an order that was placed long ago and replacement of an item that was "******" or not included in the shipment from Takealot! (And they were meant to deliver TWO orders today - abovementioned replacement order and a new order, which has also taken way too long for delivery.

Courier IT is useless!!! I ALWAYS get the "your delivery has been delayed" message late afternoon after being advised in the early morning that my order is "Out for Delivery".

There are many reasons why people purchase goods online, rather than going to the shops in person - distance and stock availability amongst the many reasons. So when you receive a message from the courier stating that your order is out for delivery, one expects to receive the package that same day.

I shall be making a big stink with Takealot in this regard. They need to make use of reliable couriers.
