Shocking Service and Communication
The service I have received from Takealot the last 2 months has really been below par.<br> <br> I placed a order on 2/12/2015 (4 items).I indicated that I will be collecting the order. I received a notification mail that 2 of the 4 products are ready for collection.<br> <br> I responded to the mail and asked the customer service agent of it would be in order if I collect all 4 items at once, she said sure that is no problem. 5 days later I get a mail,the Marinator I ordered is out of stock and they wont be able to help me (5 days!).<br> <br> So that left me with 2 items to collect at the warehouse. I drove from Northern Suburbs to MG to fetch my 2 remaining items.After waiting in a Que for 25min I finally arrived at the collection desk, only to find out that the Bluetooth Speaker went out of stock (that after it was confirmed ready for collection). No one informed me about this, received no mail or any calls.<br> <br> The gentleman said he will go get the 1 remaining item (battery pack). He left the counter, after 10min came back and said to me the are still picking the stock! That to me is ridiculous, because i received notification, stock is ready! ...another 15min went by. In the end, i left empty handed! :-(
Thank you for taking Maxine from our complaints team's call to apologise for the inconvenience caused by this matter. Once again we're really sorry for the out of stock situations and for wasting your time. This is not the kind of experience we wish to provide any of our customers and we'll address the areas which led to this poor experience with the responsible parties. As discussed with our complaints team we are reinstating your original order for the powerbank item and will have it delivered to you soonest.
We've also sent you an e-mail with possible alternatives for the out of stock speakers. We'd appreciate if it you'd let us know if any of the options would suffice so that we can arrange for its delivery to you as well.
Kind Regards,
