Can't get some from JHB to DBN in 3 days.

<p>I am flying overseas on Saturday and I need a travel plug adapter and luggage lock. It's Tuesday afternoon and I try place an order for 2 items in stock in the JHB warehouse, Apon checkout, it says delivery will only take place the following Tuesday. I call to explain my situation and get told there is nothing that can be done and its impossible to get a parcel the size of a base ball from JHB to DBN (not some outlying area) within 3 days. I even offered to pay extra shipping but got told sorry there is nothing that can be done. Sorry but takealot has got too big and doesn't care about small business anymore. Any other online shop in SA would have helped me out and made sure I got my parcel on time. I'll be taking me business elsewhere from now on. </p>
