First and last takealot disappointment

I place an order which the website said to be delivered on 06 Dec...suddenly a confirmation e-mail arrived with an estimated delivery date of 12 Dec...had I known this I would not have ordered from them as this a someone's birthday gift...now I just get apology e-mails and I'm expected to give someone a gift after their birthday. To date, it's still not even shipped... I am very disappointed and I can't even begin to think of my son's disappointment on his birthday...
