****med by Takealot Seller
I purchased a “2TB High 2.5 inch portable SSD External HDD USB 3.0 – Blue” from MSStechS for R1189 on Takealot on 26 Nov 2023. Since purchase I never got the HDD to work. Today, 1 Nov 2025, we opened the casing and had to bend the casing due to the excessive glue.
We found NO SSD EXTERNAL DRIVE inside – only 1 USB with a magnet (to make the product heavier).
We tried submitting the complaint via the Takealot website but the form (when we eventually found a form) just hangs and bombed out. No landline to call either and I am sure that is against the Consumer Ombudsmans' requirements as consumes must be able to log complaints.

18 Dec 2025, 13:40Takealot only refunded in Takealot profile the charges but won't say they sorry you were ****med and what we will do to avoid it. DO NOT BUY ELECTRONICS from Takealot unless you know the seller. Takealot benefitted from the warehouse storage fee and sellers fee and claim innocence by not checking the goods. I doubt I will buy anything from them again.
