Done with Takealot.com

Why did you leave if they were so great? Did they deliver 6 minutes late once and the you reversed your car through their reception window and then told them you're going to Takealot?

I left because they are playing for time not delivering today. Even after I called them and offered to pay more for delivery if it can be done tomorrow. They did not want to assist. I do not deal with companies like this.

Of course, if you had some business and I bought from you, and I asked you to arrange this and I would be prepared to pay the additional money for faster delivery. Would you not? Would you rather tell the client to go?

You're obviously not that important a client then...
 
I am pleased with takealot. I ordered R500 worth of cat litter and it got there the next day (I was expecting it only after 3-5 days as they stated). But, since I am one of the exclusive selected R500 customers, I supposed I am entitled to such great service. Big spenders like me and all that...
 
No man, seriously. Don't be that guy.
It's Friday, relax, have a drink and give a thought to those that can't even afford to buy from TakeAlot.
Give a thought to the delivery guys, the warehouse workers and the people behind the scenes that will be working late tonight.

Dude. You do understand that this isn't some corner store delivering your stuff on a bicycle right? They have a complicated wharehouse and delivery system. The output is 100% as a result of automated planning. Thats why they give you the options before you place the order, then the system can pllan an make provision.

You can't phone afterwards and offer them an extra 100 bucks to manually intercept your order from their (literally) thousands of current orders and find your box in the corner and quickly send it. What would the effect on an automated system be if that happens?

But who knows, maybe your stuff is late cause they stopped everything to get one other special client's stuff delivered. So it sounds fair. By your logic, they couldn't dare refuse that request. So yours was just one of the unfortunate ones further down the line after they dropped everything to deliver that ine early.

Does not matter. In my line of businesses it is. The businesses I deal with looks at this in a serious light. They are not really worried about the R100, R500 or R2000 spenders. They are looking the higher spenders. Even eBay does this. Damn, November last year I had a gift delivered from them by hand from one of their representatives.

But obviously, this is Africa, you guys do not really understand.

Takealot can keep the R500 spenders, I am off elsewhere though.

You're trying to sound like you're HNW client demanding special attention, yet you're ordering from Takealot, eBay, Loot etc and bitching on MyBB.

HNW individuals don't do that. They quietly move their business elsewhere
 
I predict the next thread will be

"Done with Mybroadband"

If you were really so amazing, you would be buying directly from the suppliers, bypassing Takealot and their unpersonalised service. Shem.

He can't afford to :)
 
Seriously, Op complains about minor issues like some thing not getting shipped, according to him not on time. How about waiting nearly two weeks to find out a item is out of stock and order cancelled, or how about ordering an item with missing items, spending 2 weeks trying to get the missing item, if any of the above happened I would say reasonable enough to look else where.

But the OP being impatient, regardless of value of the item(s) is totally absurd....

It is on time. It's not early (next day). That's the crazy thing.

And then they had the audacity to not speed it up if he paid them extra

Did they take your money for faster delivery? If not then why did you expect something different from the timetable they gave you?

You can't just throw money at someone until they do what you expect or want them to do. Busiest shopping day of the year plus very clear delivery schedule makes this very transparent.

Takealot isn't the problem. you are.
