****ty takealot service

I was advised that takealot had a product I needed. As a first time user I was offered a R250 discount. I ordered, paid the asked amount, takealot confirmed payment and advised delivery with a short period. days later I was advised that my order had been cancelled due to non-payment. After much argument takealot confirmed that payment had in fact been made and a new delivery date fixed. I advised that I would be away and let them know when I would be back. Upon returning I received notice that takealot had attempted delivery not on their agreed date but later but before my return. My order had therefore been canceled and that my money was being held by them as a credit towards my next purchase. I don't want another bad purchase experience with takealot so refuse to accept a credit. In fact I belive that in terms of the Consumer Protection Act they smust either deliver the goods paid for or refund the monies paid in full, no credit note. I suspect that their actions were merely played out to avoid the R250 discount to first time users. Real lowlife ****bugs. First time users beware, in fact all users beware.
