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

I have a problem with my digital library, I unfortunately am not always able to call, but they give you no option for email. So because I cannot call, I cannot get this sorted. This is ridiculous in the digital age.

My pots arrived slightly damaged. I ignored it and ordered knife set. This too arrived with indentation / scratch marks.

I ordered car magnetic holder for my phone. It arrived and looked NOTHING like the image from which I decided to purchase it.

Needless to say I am highly disappointed.

I bought two taps from take alot, which I hired a plumber to install the first one was leaking and requested a return. Not even a month the second tap is now leaking and it has damaged my cupboards no one is willing to help. I bought them in June and no one is calling me or even attending to my query

It is extremely disappointing to receive this item unwrapped or without a box... what am l paying the takealot service for?

How am l supposed to gift this as a birthday present in such a manner. There is absolutely no pride nor any dignity and care taken whilst transporting goods...

Takealot you are pathetic!

I bought microlab Bluetooth speaker on Tuesday 13 September 2022 and they said delivery will be on the 16 September, today it's the 16th but I did not get any updates that my item is on the way or the date of delivery is postponed.

Please make changes as possible.

How can it be tested?

Only the packaging of my item arrived. I followed takealot's return policy and now they tell me the issue has been resolved, because the item expired 9/4/2023. We are still in 2022?

the fitted plug is not a SA 3 pin Plug but a much smaller 3 pin Plug.

How am I supposed to plug this in for it to work.

I purchased it online from Takealot online.

this is totally unacceptable. How many other customers have you conned.

Dear Takealot - I am a seller and I need to tell you that your seller support desk is useless. I feel abused as a Seller. No point giving you all my details because NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING TO SORT OUR MY ISSUES ANYWAY!

I ordered a PS5 FIFA23 game and received a 2k23. I am seriously not happy considering I had to wait for more than a week for it to be delivered. It's not the first time so I am not ordering again at takealot. Worst of all the game delivered has scan print out of what I ordered.

I waited for a while as this item was the delay for my total order. It arrived this morning and the packaging of this item as indicated below looks second hand and tacky. I can't return it as it's a gift i bought specifically for my granddaughter so i have to patch the box to look better and it's not exactly a cheap item
