Fast to take your money, slow to support & deliver

I placed an order from [URL Removed] on Wednesday (04 Nov 2015) just after 16:00 and I was very excited the next morning to see that my parcel was scheduled for delivery on 05 Nov. <br> <br> Fedex didn't deliver my parcel/books the next day, due to the driver not having my contact number and the lack of support from the office to get hold of me from their side when he tried to deliver the parcel at my complex which doesn't have an intercom or numbers on the doors. I also phoned the number for queries to ask that the driver call me when he is at the complex. <br> <br> Again on Friday I received 2 phone calls and an sms to same that the parcel will be delivered before 17:00 on 06 Nov 2015, but nothing came.<br> <br> The parcel was only delivered 3 days later and I had to stay at home for 3 days to wait for the parcel and not wanting to leave the house in case the driver arrives at my house. <br> <br> There is no place for special instructions with the address on the [URL Removed] website and the customers contact number not printed on the delivery for the driver to get hold of the people he needs to deliver to, which needs URGENT ATTENTION!!<br> <br> I will definitely think again before ordering something from Takealot again

Hello Coela26,

Since we had your contact number to schedule and confirm delivery with you for the 6th, there should be no reason for the driver not to have your details in order to contact you upon delivery as per your request. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by not delivery to you as promised. The last thing we want to do is waste your time. We'll be addressing this with the relevant courier branch to determine why and how this happened and will feedback to you.

Our team's not been able to get hold of you on the phone and have sent you an email to confirm a suitable time to call. Please be so kind as to let us know when we can try again.

Sincerely,
takealot.com
