Ordered, paid but no delivery and no Christmas gifts!

<p>My husband placed an order for our kids Christmas gifts about 3 weeks ago in November. Order number ********** .</p> <p> </p> <p>We waited and waited with no contact from Takealot. Eventually we had to email them to ask what was going on. They rep**** to say that one item was put of stock so the whole order was on hold until the supplier had stock again. Surely they should have let us know as soon as there was a problem?!</p> <p> </p> <p>So we cancelled the item that was causing the problem and they said we would recieve notification when our order was being sent to us. This was 3 days ago and as yet we have still heard nothing. We have tried to email Takealot again to ask what is happening but no one replies. I don't see why after 3 days, they still haven't shipped what is already an over due order, especially since they told us they had all the rest of the order in stock. </p> <p> </p> <p>So now we sit on the eve of a long weekend; where no one at Takealot will do anything about our problem; and just 10 days before Christmas we are left with no presents!</p> <p> </p> <p>Terrible service.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
