Went the extra mile to ensure on time delivery

Until the last day of delivery this was actually going to be a complaint on HelloPeter due a false promise of delivery date - during the ordering process my delivery was promised by Thursday, yet still on Friday not received due to one item being out of stock after I was told it was in stock. I counted on my order arriving when it was promised and it was imperative that I get it before the weekend. After more false promises and unresponsive back and forth with another individual which I will not name, I was then told today (Friday) that one item in my order will after all not arrive on time and only reach me by Monday. I was so disappointed and - had I known this to be the case - I would have ordered from elsewhere because all that mattered was that I receive said order before Saturday.<br> <br> So I would like to compliment Astley Alaart from Takealot customer service, who came to my rescue today and went absolutely out of her way to ensure I receive my FULL order today. She followed up throughout the day, reversed the separate order dispatched only for Monday and placed a new order for me - and followed up to find my order in my hands just in time, at the end of the day.Thank you Astley

Hello Michael_M,

This is a bitter sweet one. It's fantastic to hear about Astley's efforts & knowing your parcel was delivered to you in time. But it's a pity you had to go through all that trouble to get to this point.

We really do appreciate the compliment on the turnaround, but will still instruct our complaints team to look into the initial issues as it shouldn't have happened or could've been handled much better. We'll then make sure the trouble areas are addressed.

We hope now that you have your order in full, you're set for a super weekend.
Have fun!,
