TAKEALOT.COM Ruins Christmas

<p>I am absolutely appalled by the service delivery of takealot this Christmas.</p> <p>I placed an order on the 5th of December, and when the order was placed it indicated that they had stock of all 3 of the items I ordered. </p> <p>The estimated delivery date was 7-15 working days.</p> <p>I received an email today indicating that in fact they **** and did not have stock of 2 of the items ordered and thus my ordered would be delayed by 3-5 working days.</p> <p>The problem is Christmas is in 5 days!!!</p> <p>And the items ordered are for a little girls Christmas present. Now here I sit faced with the fact that I will have to tell this little girl that her Christmas present is not here because of the ill management of stock on Takealot's side. </p> <p>I am now in such a predicament because of these lies from Takealot.</p> <p>And as a student I paid for the items in advance and I do not have more money to buy another present!!</p> <p>This was meant to be a special present for my little sister. But I guess it no longer will be!</p> <p>I am truly disgusted by the service of Takealot this Christmas, they have basically ruined it for this little girl.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks a lot Takealot, I'll be sure never to use you in the future again and thus never refer anyone to use your services.</p> <p> </p> <p>P.S. I am not the only one who feels this way!</p> <p> </p> <p>Kind Regards</p> <p>Graeme</p>
