Organized Crime or Petty just *****s

It has been 12 days since a refund on a returned, defective item was confirmed on the return itself, but still no refund! In the list of successful refunds, this particular one does not reflect in the list. After multiple attempts to contact takealot, all I received was false promises until, eventually I was just forgotten and further attempts to find out what's happening just ignored for an entire week! Takealot has seemingly become too big, so much so that they have declined drastically in terms of service and client etiquette. They don't even bother with these reviews as they once used to before they stopped giving a **** about customers or quality service delivery. As long as they can make money off any poor ol sap. Should this matter not be sorted out by today I will be exploring other options available to me including but not limited to the consumer protection authorities, law enforcement, and take it to any form of media at my disposal to ensure as many people as possible know about how takealot conducts "business" these days, like any other common ******** syndicate! In these tough economic times even takealot has taken to *******ion and theft, truly pathetic!
