Out of stock - Refund

When placing my order, the item showed as in stock in CPT and the order confirmation email indicated that delivery is estimated by 17 November. A further check afterwards indicated that the stock had been allocated to the order. When checking up on the order a bit later, the website showed that the item is out of stock with the supplier, the expected shipping date on the order had been changed to 22 November and the expected date of delivery changed to 24 November. I then contacted Takealot support via email and specifically asked for them to confirm that they would be able to source stock of this item to which they rep**** that they do not have stock however that the "promise" delivery date would now be 24 November. Now, after this response and a "promise" of delivery, a day later an email is sent saying they do not have stock so they have credited my account. I find it amusing that the most recent other complaint they have received on HelloPeter relates to the same thing happening to some other poor sucker. #outofstock
