Speechless

I order from Takealot at least four times per month, and this is the first time I've been taken aback.

I bought a 58-inch Hisense television from Takealot. A few months later, the television began to shut down automatically after 5 minutes of operation. I returned the television to Takealot.

Today, I received an email from takealot stating that they’re unable to repair my TV due to a user related damage i.e broken screen.

It's absurd that they'd refer to this as user-related damage when I'm a single woman with no children or partners. I work 90% of the time; I haven't been playing football with my hard-earned television, and have other hobbies!

According to the photographs that I'm unable to post here, the television does not have a minor crack. It is broken from every single angle and they have the audacity to blame me! I am disappointed in their lack of accountability!

I just received a response from takealot stating that my return was declined because the product age after delivery is 245 days = 8 months.

This is after they have broken my tv! No one from takealot has contacted me since then!

Their terms and conditions expressly state “A product may have a supplier warranty that extends beyond the 6 month Standard Warranty. If such a product turns out to be defective more than 6 months after delivery”

All this only after they have collected and broken my television

Still no communication from Takealot, I am unable to even claim from my home insurance because the damage happened out of my home in the hands of Takealot!

Please don't support these *******!
