No delivery and unhelpful staff

I placed an order on Monday. Jump starter, camping poles, and 2 other items. Order number ***. Everything was in stock and the expected delivery date was 2 December 2015.<br> Monday evening I received an sms confirming delivery for Tuesday. <br> Tuesday nothing happened, so I waited for Wednesday, as that was the said delivery date. <br> Wednesday came and again no delivery happened. <br> <br> I phoned Takealot, spoke to Melissa. I explained that I need the goods as I am on leave from Thursday. She promised that the goods will be delivered by Thursday before 13:00. <br> <br> Thursday by 13:20 no delivery, so I phoned again. I spoke to Tracy, and was informed that the goods is still at the branch and I can go and pick it up. <br> <br> On my way to Mr Delivery, I received a call informing me that the goods are not at the branch anymore and will be delivered to me by 20:00. There I was absolutely no understanding that I needed this goods before I go on leave. I must now go and pick up the goods this morning. Why do you even have a delivery option? This was really a bad experience, and the 2 people I spoke to yesterday just made the situation worst.
