TAKEALOT Ruined my 2 year old's Christmas

We ordered a ride-on bike from TAKEALOT and received the incorrect one. The one received was much smaller than the one ordered. I called the call centre and they were not able to assist me over the phone, I was told I would have to log an exchange online. I did this and it indicated that I would have to wait 1 - 2 working days for a response. It is now a week later and I have not heard from anyone at TAKEALOT!!! I received a call today from a delivery company saying they would be coming to collect the bike tomorrow - but still not a word from TAKEALOT as to when I will be receiving the correct bike - no one has apologized - we have no clue as to what is going on with this problem because no one is getting back to me!!!<br> My son was born with an extremely rare disorder and was only given 1 to 5 days to live, every big occasion we get to spend with him is a blessing and we usually only buy him one gift because of the huge expenses involved in caring for a child with special needs. So because of this company's lack of communication and lack of attention to detail when shipping products, my son received nothing for Christmas.
