I placed an order from Takealot for a coolermaster silencio 550 last night, throughout the day i received mails updating the status of my order and I had it delivered to me at 16:15. I was totally not expecting this. Thanks Takealot!
 
I have had similar experiences with them on several occasions. They are very good with their service.
 
yep sometimes they use there own couriers (so you don't have to wait a extra day), in cpt i know they use there own couriers as they deliver even at 7pm at night for me :)
 
I was also amazed with their HDD return service.

Like I had a broken 1.5TB HDD that I bought from them last year. After they accepted the return information I gave, they came and collected the hard drive (with CourierIT) for free, and then like a week later they said it will be replaced and then sent me a new 2TB SATA III drive (with CourierIT again) for free!

Good to know. I had to return a bluetooth headset after they delivered the wrong item and it took quite a few emails before they acknowledged the fact that they made an error and sent me the right one. Otherwise service has always been good.
 
Yes, I'd have to admit that it was a rather lengthy process (about 2 weeks), but I really can't complain since it was done for free and rather hassle-less.

I would only expect things like this to be faster if I got a next day business warranty - like with Dell hardware.
 
Ordered twice with them, both times shocking experience, so there seem to be pretty varying results...
 
Yeah if you reside in Cape Town expect some good results. The last hardware I ordered (which was last week) was delivered to me the same day. Colour me impressed.
 
I live in JHB and have only had exceptional service from take2(takealot).

They're always the first place I go to when I need to purchase something.
 
Can someone confirm if Takealot's website is displaying properly in the latest firefox. Especially the main flash thingy showing the 3 specials.

They're really good! I ordered a book from them mid-December and it was expected to arrive at the beginning of February as the book was to come from the USA and it arrived here a few days after we got back from holiday (it arrived on the 10th of January). Also, on the 9th of January, we ordered The Lion King DVD for my baby cousin. At around 19:00 on the 10th, in the middle of an insane thunderstorm, the door rings and it's the DVD being delivered! I was extremely impressed and I felt so bad for the man who had to drive through that horrible storm :(

Also with both of the above deliveries, they called my mom to ask if anyone was home so that they could deliver the goods and if not, what time would be best to deliver or would she prefer the good to be delivered the next day etc. :)

I've ordered from them before as well and they're always really good, they've even delivered here at 7am on a weekday as well which is impressive too :)

Why do people feel the need for adblockers? Not even youtube ads are bad. It's the only way that most free websites make any revenue at all. You're actually hampering your websites efforts to give you better content. Don't you feel bad?
