*********** clowns t/a TakeAlot

I don't mind paying premium prices, but then I want the premium service that goes with the price tag...

Where to begin with these clowns... I'm going to leave out their smaller ( it doesn't really bother me that much) stuff ups.

These are the ones that have gotten under my skin somewhat...

1.) Ordered a high-end webcam, arrived incorrect... I wanted a redelivery of the correct item... Nope, Takealot just refund, and can't get the one that I ordered any more...

2.) Ordered a SSD drive, drive arrives... doesn't work? After days of fiddling with recovery software... turns out this so called new drive that I paid a minor fortune for was a second hand SSD with Someone elses data on it... "Oh, just send it back" ***??? This is *****, selling used goods as new stock, nevermind that it compromised the security of some prominent big businesses in south africa... yes I found the data... I wonder how your other clients feel about this?

3.) Ordered multiple items again off the website, all paired items that needed to be compatible with each other. Paid for all of it... Couple of days later, sorry... 3 of the items you ordered that were in stock at the time, are now not, so... no surprise... we are going to refund you?! Which meant I had to re-spec everything again...

4.) My final damn straw with this "company"... In the above order was a nVidia GTX 1080 Ti 11G (Top of the line) graphics card... 4 months later for some reason stops working. I contact the manufacturer directly because I don't want to have to deal with the idiot squad that is Takealot, unfortunately... manufacturer says I have to deal with them directly... here we go again... I speak to a representative of TA, advising that I specifically want an RMA swap-out, I get sent a goods return form to fill out, where I explain the problem, what I've done to verify the the problem, and then the request (At lengths) to have it swapped out with the manufacturer. TA's solution because they don't have stock of the item... Credit the account?!?! Are you kidding me?! On an RMA return?! I don't want the f...ing credit I want the hardware sent back to the manufacturer to be swapped out for a working one, it has a 3 year warranty on the damn thing, and died 4 months after purchase. Why would I want the credit after specifying that it be Swapped out with the manufacturer?!

TakeAlot... I've spent over R 130k on various items through you... and I will NEVER spend another cent... You're a bunch of incompentent clowns that don't deserve the business, and I would rather spend the extra time, effort, and money finding a smaller business to support, and have them courier things over-night to me than to ever deal with you a...holes again.

I guess it's in their name... They do take a lot...
