Takealot Vouchers (Begging) Thread

All bundles I have purchased in the past from shops normally all bundled, unless it's buy 1, get x item free.

Human error is to blame. Doubt takealot have a sophisticated warehouse like amazon. Check the video at the bottom.

Pick up number on the invoice could be the box. The final step would be to scan everything to confirm correct items being shipped / checking bar code.

I just find it highly interesting that it matches one of their bundles item for item. Yes human error is to blame. I never said it isn't. Someone saw tripod and gave them the packing slip for the bundle that includes the tripod instead.
 
That's a first. Now they starting to use Fedex, clear indication that they unable to manage with their own courier company.....

Great news! Your order*xxxx*is now with our courier partner,*Fedex, and will soon be in your grasp.
 
Mr Delivery has always been a point to point delivery system without much infrastructure. Guess they still need to use other channels when parcels have to stay over for the night or have to be handed over.
 
Yup ... I just received a parcel from Fedex this morning instead of their usual third party vegetable van.
 
My delivery sms/email said Skynet was the partner.

Skynet delivered dog food today.

Now for small items they seem to be using Fedex. Unless they have negotiated better rates with fedex,. Why handover small parcels over to fedex doesn't justify if they own Mr Delivery.

Skynet is the worst company I have dealt with. I have to always follow up if they going to deliver today or tomorrow. One of my parcels was sitting with them over a week. As a new customer they treat you like royalty;returning customer you don't even receive a call to schedule a delivery slot.

Things are changing... I really get impatient when turnaround times aren't met.

Heads up to anyone applying a voucher on an order - buying airtime with other items in trolley. Their system doesn't release the good, had to be done manually. Crossing fingers bug gets fixed

Received the same for my parcel. Kalahari uses Fedex so the contract has obviously been transferred to Takealot - I would imagine a large chunk of turnover would have been lost by them if their shipping contract had not been carried across so they were probably keen to stay on board.
 
How does one track a parcel using Fedex directly.. need a little help here for those who've actually received their parcels.

I didn't even have a chance to track my parcel. Ordered at 1PM yesterday, deposited cash into an ABSA ATM at 2:05pm. Receive their payment confirmation just before 3pm. Parcel was dispatched at 4pm

Parcel in my hand at 9am this morning. That is freaking AWESOME service!!
 
Didn't they used to have 24 hour delivery for goods in stock? I ordered four movies yesterday morning and still just sitting there.

With the sudden surge in orders (After Kalahari merged) I don't think it's feasible/possible for them to be able to do this every time anymore.

I'm 20 minutes away from the warehouse but items in stock take 16-36 hours to be delivered. If i choose to collect it's ready for collection in 2-8 hours depending on what time I order.
 
Is pretty much whatever is still on inventory at Kalahari at the end of the month going to be listed on takealot from May 1st? Are their fulfillment centres going to be merged as well?

Good question. Highly doubt the products listed on Kalahari will be listed on takealot. Probably they will keep the popular items that move and the rest of the items that don't move will be sent back to the supplier/auctioned off.

Takealot now have to live up to their reputation TAKE A LOT :
 
To eehellfire .
