Hi

Please see below.

I need someone to look into this service. Christmas is a special part of the year and gifts are bought till the last day. I was told to collect my order and the collections department closes at 5pm. There was a string of cars and Takealot took no responsibility. They just allowed the security to shut the gate and tell people to leave. No information, no apology no resume date.

I called the call center for information instead of being rude to the security like everyone else. The consultant spoke to me like everything I said was a lie. The times on the email was wrong she says and I shouldn't have been there. BUT a woman came out and she was able to collect. her car was on the outside. Then another couple collected. So why the discrimination. It has been 20 minutes since she said she will contact me in 5min. I ran away from work to collect my gift. Now, I have to find something and I'm working till 5pm.

This really wrecked Christmas as the gift I bought still has to be engraved.

Please look into this.

Regards

Claudine

A santa suit ordered with a santa sack specifically arrived without the sack and belt. Peggy and Nadia at customer service phoned. Emailed them pictures. I asked for a response. The response was we have updated your latest phone call. Service is bad! Please be aware that you cannot last with such bad service! Amazon is on its way to South Africa!

I'll never buy from takealot again. Returned a pump brand new out the box was not working and they accused us of altering the product which was thread tape on the connector ! Really rubbish!

We requested evidence which they have not sent.

I ordered something on 24 Friday and the initial date that it was going to arrive was Sunday then the drive called and said his at the wrong place then it was rescheduled to 27 February Monday(today) . I called twice cause I saw that it was almost 5pm and my order hasn't arrived. Then when I check again it has been delayed again!

On the 1st of March I received my order only to find out that it was incomplete

I recieved four of the things that was in the box excluding pack of T-pins

I'm very disappointed with takealot team because this is not a first time it happens, but at 1st I didn't mind, but now that its happening over & over its something that I cannot stand for.

I am a frequent customer of Takealot, i always purchase items for high value and am always allowed COD payment. This has suddenly stopped and I cannot process my order due to this...

Can someone contact me, seeing that your contact number does not have an operator to accept my calls.

We have ordered a Toddler Balance Bike on the 27th of Feb and they only wanted to deliver on the 9th of March just to find out that they cancelled the order on the 9th of March. Nobody has tried to contact us regarding the order or the refund. This is totally unacceptable. Lucky, we ordered before our son Birthday.

My order which I waited for two weeks was due last Friday and it was delayed. Yesterday again waited whole day it was cancelled. Again today I am told it is high risk area. I lived here for 30 years. It is fairly quiet to my knowledge. My order is essential to me. Never experienced this problem last year. Take a lot delivered speedily in the past.

I'm waiting for my money since last year, December. They put a credit on my account but then removed it. For my order [protected] in December 2023

I ordered at takealot a week but my products hasn't shipped yet, saying it will be delivered on the 6th of April. This is the first time takealot taking so many days delivering.

Please be fast on delivery because some of the things i ordered i needed them tomorrow because of your delay i will have to postpone my plans.

I purchased headsets recently(13/05/23) and received all the necessary purchase details. Then this morning I get a notification that the order has been cancelled due to non payment but I have confirmation from both my bank and takealot that he purchase has been made. I want this matter resolved immediately.

I have ordered Clemens XXL and received a L product.

I do understand that it is a “non-returnable” product however it was supplied in an incorrect size.

On the stickers on the outside packaging is all XXL however the product inside is marked L (large).

I place an order on the 25 May 2023, when the courier arrived at the location they told the receiver that the parcel is unpaid. Yet they were told that a lady with a particular color of a car supposed to do the payment on arrival of the parcel. However they waited for few minutes and drove off with the parcel.

I want to buy the Gizzu power station that is on special in your Takealot app. I especially installed your app on my Samsung, When using your app on my Phone, the price increases as soon as it is in my cart? Why am I using data to install your application if it is not going to give me discount?

I made an order and it was scheduled to be delivered on the 9th. I made arrangements to be at home but only to see that the order was changed today at 9 for Monday. I have to arrange again for someone to receive the order. When I called the call centre, the agent dropped the call on me.

Dene Crafford. I am sending back the order for the 3rd time now. I ordered a red watch and a charger that works. I keep getting the wrong colour! I have returned it numerous times with the caption not what I ordered. Why are the staff so incompetent and not attending to the product return description?
