Chaotic
I ordered a tent online which was delivered on 29 January. I set it up and one of the poles broke when disassembling. I called Takealot on the 30th who said that they would do an exchange within 2 work days. On the 2 February I received a call from Takealot in the morning confirming that I will have someone at home for delivery before 3pm.<br> <br> At 2:40pm a person collected the tent. He did not leave a receipt. He did not deliver a replacement tent. At 4:20pm. I got an email saying that the delivery was complete and asking me to rate the service. I called Takealot to report that it had not been delivered. They called me back later to say that the system in Cape Town said that the replacement tent had not yet reached the branch.<br> <br> I told the service agent over the phone that it seems like it is total chaos and he agreed.<br> <br> Incredibly bad service.
Sorry for the unnecessary hassle, this is indeed not how our returns process should work & you shouldn't have to come to Hello Peter to get it resolved either. If we have replacement stock, you should've received a new tent when we came to collect the damaged one. From what we gather, this was confirmed with you & obviously didn't happen. The fact that the returned item hasn't been received back at our warehouse should also not impact this, if a replacement was arranged.
This is indeed confusing & an overall poor experience. Please allow our complaints team to investigate the matter in the morning so that we can try & arrange for the replacement delivery tomorrow still.
