Appalling service
I have never had a problem with Takealot before. Their service has always been efficient. However, a month ago (8/08) I placed an order of two items to be delivered to PE. Bearing in mind, this was a birthday gift, it came to my attention weeks later that one of the products were out of stock. I was never informed of this and had to phone the call centre to follow up with the non-existent delivery. I then cancelled the unavailable item and asked for the other available item to be sent asap. The delivery (#***) was supposed to arrive on Monday 31/08. It arrived yesterday at the recipient's home, although the delivery person had driven off before the recipient had come to the gate! I phoned the call centre to ask that the delivery person please phone the recipient beforehand to arrange a definite time. It is now Wednesday 2 Sept and the delivery has still not been successful. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of service I have received. I expect this problem to be dealt with as soon as possible.
We're sorry for messing you around with this order and its delivery and apologise for any disappointment caused as we realise this was an intended birthday present. We should've reached out to you first to inform you about the out of stock situation and will look into why this didn't happen. Our order fulfilment team is currently looking into the delivery situation and we'll do our best to get the parcel delivered ASAP. We've also instructed them to look into the manner in which the initial delivery was attempted so that it can be addressed with the responsible branch and driver.
Please allow our guys a little more time to liaise with the relevant departments to get this on track after which they'll contact you with an update.
Sincerely,
