Delivery of goods

The delivery date for my order placed on 23 November was moved from 6 Dec, then to 7 Dec and now 10 Dec. I am not available to take delivery on 10 Dec and I CANNOT CHANGE THE DELIVERY ADDRESS to somewhere where delivery can be made. But wait....I can reorder and get delivery EVEN LATER. Pity the delivery is for a child's birthday present and late delivery means no birthday present !! Even better.. I'll be credited the present's money if the they cannot make a the delivery. I'm sure my 7 year old will have hours of fun with a credit note. This is completely and utterly unacceptable.

It is not due to my negligence that I cannot accept the delivery. I checked stock availablility BEFORE placing the order. Apparently the 8 -10 days for delivery is for the supplier to send them the goods. Misinformation much? Why then say you have stock on hand???? I made sure delivery will take place on a dat I will be available to accept the delivery. You dropped the ball, Takealot and I'll be sure to spread this series of unfortunate events wherever I can.
