Takealot - but get nothing

I ordered a birthday gift for my grandchild on the 28th of July with an expected delivery date of the 9th of August. On the 11th I had to contact Takealot to enquire why the article was not yet ready for delivery, and was told that they had not received it from the supplier. I gave them the balance of today to determine whether they could source the article, and was told in the late afternoon that they could not, and I requested a refund. I have made use of other on-line shopping sites, but fortunately for me, they were more than mail order companies. Needless to say, I will now go to a normal store, pay a little more (with a pleasure), and finally get my grandchild her present.

I will ensure that whenever Takelot is mentioned that I inform the persons about my pathetic experience.
