Order cancelled

Ordered a CD on Sunday. Paid via EFT at the same time. Next morning order cancelled by Takealot and ONE minute later received email confirming order and awaiting payment. Obvious that the company does not have adequate systems ala Amazon. I emailed them proof of payment and then received an email cancelling the order and stating that the amount will be credited to my Takealot account.<br> Bizarre. I do not want to use Takealot ever again and will not recommend them to any of my business friends as they are NOT customer service orientated and have NO respect for the customer. Obviously their business strategy is built around financial interest and customer satisfaction somewhere further down the list. Having spent the last 20 years in London and using Amazon frequently, Takealot has a long way to go before it will be anything remotely similar !!<br> An exceedingly poor experience with online shopping. Worst in South Africa to date
