Worst service ever rendedred by Takealot

I purchased a game for my daughter only to realise when delivered on the 05/02/2015 the game received would not work on the console I have. I have immediately logged the return on the 05/02/2015 and nicely asked to have the fund paid into my bank account as I could not wait for stock to come in as it was for her birthday. On the 06/02/2015 they collected the parcel that was sealed and to my surprise when enquiring when the refund will be paid they confirmed they only received my parcel on the 14/02/2015 which was a whole 9 days later????? When asking about the refund no direct answers could be given, only that they would get back to me. Today I receive an email to confirm the refund to the takealot account and not as I requested! Service was great up until now, and myself that is working in call centre environment my customer satisfaction always comes first, but with Takealot it seems it comes last!!! I am very unhappy with the service not even a courtesy call to apologies for the delay or inconvenience, I was the one doing the run around to get answers from them. WORST SERVICE EVER WILL NEVER USE TAKEALOT AGAIN....

Hello Karen1980,

Sorry to hear about the disappointing experience with returning the game you bought. Our returns process is unfortunately not an instant one, but it shouldn't have taken so long to simply return the item & we're sorry for this delay. We'll instruct our complaints team to take the matter up with our returns department & also enquire why you weren't updated on its status as per our policy. Our refund process requires us to first credit your takealot account after which the credits are then converted into your refund. We'll ask our team to also make sure this is on track as per your request.

We know this could've been handled much better & apologise for the bad service. Hopefully you know this isn't our usual way of doing things & will try to get this resolved soonest.

Regards,
takealot.com
