Takealot launches 1-hour delivery service

Takealot has launched a new 1-hour on-demand delivery service trial in Cape Town's northern suburbs.

will it be as good as their same day service where they never try to pitch up and say at 4pm there was no one at reception at a giant corporate office that was open till 6pm? Cause they excel at doing that.

I'm sure the Sellers are gona love it.

I tried it a few weeks back ordering the new Mi Box and got my order in half an hour. It worked basically the same as ordering Burger King using the Mr D app.

was going to buy a cheap wifi extender from it a few weeks ago but noticed it was cheaper on takealot's site so I didn't

huh?

Great idea - wanted to test it out now, but the product choice are very limited. None of the 3 items I wanted to order was available on the Mr D app

Seems like a decent enough idea though I would have thought that a 1 hour delivery service would cater more towards essentials, foods, drinks, maybe things like memory sticks, SD cards, etc instead of luxury items like phones, laptops, etc which shouldn't really be impulse buys.

So you got the Mi Box and power cord, but they forgot to include the remote?

They should rather work on a more predicable delivery service that allows you to track the delivery better so that you know when your order will be delivered (within reasonable margin of 1 or 2 hours).

Geez, what about the next day service, which is almost never available.

 

[dualmeister]

Where do you find this option?
At checkout?

You already have Takealot Scooters on the road. They're called MrD.

LOL this, my ordering from Takealot has dropped drastically due to having to wait for 3-5 days for local orders

.. till 10pm at night

Is there another time of day when it's 10pm - besides night?

That is good advice to consumers, but if there is a market for it, someone will fill it.

Just in case you need a laptop in an hour

I can see this being handy if you’re busy with a DIY project and remember too late that you need a special tool or item
