Failed at every part of an order (order ***)

I preordered a game on 2nd Aug. The page said to get the game on the 28th Aug, you must order before the 26th.<br> <br> After hearing nothing on Friday, I phoned MrD and was told it wouldn't make it to me on time. They failed on their promise.<br> <br> Fuming, I tweeted @takealot and was told they would investigate. The next morning (Saturday) I was phoned by Sharonese. She said she would organize for MrD to deliver on Saturday to make up for it. The original delivery address was a work address and because it was Saturday, they needed to change it to my home address. She said that was fine.<br> <br> Then, a stroppy woman from MrD phoned me, saying she knew nothing about a change of address and that wouldn't be allowed. She said I must wait until Monday. I told her to please contact Takealot again. She interrupted me constantly and was very rude. She phoned back and said she was still investigating.<br> <br> Then another lady phoned. She knew nothing about any prior arrangements and said it would only come on Monday. At that point I just gave up.<br> <br> I got it today and the case inside is damaged. Unacceptable. I had to log a return. A total failure from start to end. Will I actually ever play this game? Disgusted.

Hello jskel,

We're sorry for the disappointing experience you've had and for the frustration caused by not delivering your game as expected. We'll assign this matter to our complaints team in the morning to liaise with Sharonese & the relevant departments to see where this went wrong and how best to correct this as soon as possible.

We'd appreciate the opportunity to try and turn this experience around and will be in touch tomorrow to assist in getting this sorted out.

Sincerely,
takealot.com
