Takealot are pathetic, #BADRETAILER

I bought a motherboard from Takealot with a 3 year warranty. It went faulty so I returned it. They collected it then weeks later they tell me there is damage to the motherboard. I told them I checked it and I have witnesses that it wasnt damaged when it was sent in, but they refused to deal with me and told me to speak to their supplier. I did this and the supplier told me they dont deal with the public, that I must speak to Takealot. I was stuck. Eventually I replaced my own board with my own money, THEN THEY CALLED ME BACK TWICE telling me they would now replace the board. When the replacement didnt arrive I called back, only to find out they had made a mistake and werent going to do anything again. Takealot you are pathetic. You need to understand that customer service is important, and that when YOU make a mistake by damaging a customers board or promising to replace something, that you need to honor your stuff ups. You will learn that your poor service will COST YOU BUSINESS AND PROFITS. I will never let this issue go. You will continue to hear from me whenever I get the chance to complain. I hope everyone in South Africa hears my story and makes an informed buying decision.

Hello Llama02,

We are truly sorry for your experience thus far and for any confusion that may have arisen during communication with our agents. Takealot only handles the first 6 months of product warranties, in accordance with the CPA, any issues thereafter lies between the customer and the supplier.

As previously advised, after evaluation by the supplier, the warranty of the motherboard was found to be void due to user damage. The CPU however was replaced, and both items have subsequently been returned to you.
