Deliveries are Getting Slower every year.

I've been using Takealot for over 4 years now. SInce the time they were Kalahari. My issue is that deliveries are getting slower and unpredictable. It used to be that when an item is listed as IN STOCK and you ordered it before 12pm, it would be delivered the next working day. Nowadays deliveries take 3 to 5 days regardless. Their Courier tracking is useless because it doesn't represent reality. I want to buy things Locally but Amazon is becoming more appealing by the day.
