Ok so here is an update on this voucher thingy....prior to when this Voucher thingy came up I purchased alot of stuff on their sale. Last week sometime, Takealot sends out a survey with the question: would I refer Takelot to everyone or something like this. It was a rating scale...I marked 0 no recommendation and in the content block I stated that a return is sitting at reception desk since the 6 August the date it was supposed to be collected and second reason....I received no voucher after my latest purchase (airtime). Guess what, today I received a call from the courier company asking where they should collect the return. This I found astounding because my details are all onnthe system and it seemed as if Takealot sent half the info through to the fourier company or so they say. What was also amazing is that my illusive R200 Voucher was also received in my email in box...same day.

Coincidence, me thinks not...it appears as if Takelot takes feedback seriously and reacts almost immediately. The question would be Why react though...why wait for negative feedback (at first I ignored this survey for a few days) and then provide the service due? This voucher...like all members validated....should have been received 24 hours after the purchase was made. I must say this experience left me with mixed feelings though.

You guys can make up your own minds on this one.

Maybe their system flagged you in the past for creating more than 1 account....just guessing here else guess you just had back luck in the sense that any online buying is not smooth sailing 100% of the time and you got the shortest end until complaining and making them aware of it.

How did you arrive at the conclusion that I have more than one account? Only one account that I am aware of. Any other guesses? Anyway enough said...done deal. Let's see if things improve from here onwards.

Thank you, grabbed one just in time as they are sold out again. Incidentally my blue ones I ordered arrived today. Can't wait to give them a go.
I got the orange ones. But regardless of the color for that price they are exceptional.

If you read my post carefully you will notice the words "just guessing here", in other words I proposed 2 scenarios that could POSSIBLY have happened

What I found odd about my pair of Emtec T200 flashdrives in the house is that they do not fit in a specific laptop in the house. It is as if the USB port is too big? Other than that they are nice and fast.

Strange. I have one and it fits in my PC and MI Box just fine. Never tried it in my cellphone as I have a type C connector.

Strange indeed. Works fine in my cellphone, PC, telkom lit box etc. Just impossible to plug into my small lenovo netbook. All my other usb devices fit into all my other usb ports, its is just the T200 that refuses to plug into the lenovo, older yoga I think.
