False advertising and subsequent bad attitude

Takelot contacted me, encouraging me to use their Mobile App.<br> I though this was a great idea as I needed an external hard drive.<br> I found one on their mobile app that was discounted 25% from R1605 to R1199.<br> I added this to my cart, but when I tried to check out, the original price of R1605 was being charged.<br> I contacted Takealot in this regard, and got the following curt response:<br> \Unfortunately the price for the discounted price for the Seagate Backup Plus 2Tb 3.5 external drive is no longer priced @ R1199"<br> <br> No apology for their false advertising"
