My order was placed for collection and I got the email.
Surely collections should still be OK for the 22nd?

Did you’re email also state the 29th? If so I reckon they have a bigger issue than they’re letting on.

Yup.

Received the same email about delivery on the 29th.
I'll just try my luck and walk in on the 22nd anyway

Takealot now says that they are back on track again:
https://www.mweb.co.za/games/view/t...eries-in-SA-until-after-Christmas-UPDATE.aspx

Takealot has contacted us with good news that they will indeed be receiving their stock of their Xbox One X consoles and main regional deliveries will take place on time as well as collections will be available on Friday this week. Please see below email we received from them.

Based on an updated stock delivery date from our supplier, we alerted customers of potential delays with their Xbox One X orders. To manage expectation of all those ordering Christmas gifts, we provided a worst case scenario (of 29th December delivery) - giving customers the opportunity to cancel their order if they wish.

However, we're now back on track to receive stock on time this week, which will allow us to ship orders as scheduled. As long as our supplier delivery of stock is not delayed this week, we anticipate that:

- Cape Town collections will be available on release date (Friday 22 December)

- Main Centre deliveries (Joburg, Pretoria & Cape Town) will be scheduled before Christmas

- Regional / remote deliveries (everywhere outside of Main Centres) are unlikely to receive their orders until next week - in line with our standard pre-order delivery timelines

We'll do everything we can to expedite delivery of these orders as soon as the stock is in our hands. Once the stock is received in both our warehouses, individual customer order tracking will be updated accordingly to give customers a more accurate picture of when their order will arrive.

Ok. Glad I looked at this thread again, seeing as the email would have been sent to my work address and I am on leave now.

Anyway, phoned up now and spoke to an honest call center agent (after a bit of digging). They will have the stock on time, in Cape Town, but will not be able to deliver on time. Backlog.

So changed it from being delivered to my place, to collection at Montague gardens on the 22nd. I will wait for confirmation email that she says she is sending me now.

I just got my "ready for collection" email.
Thought they won't be allowed to release until tomorrow?

Oh well, I live nearby so off to Takealot I go!

Ok, so even though I got an email confirming they would change my order to collection, I got an sms yesterday (which I didn't see until today) that item will be delivered by 27 December...

So I, looked up the order on Takealot site and it says shipped to courier, for delivery before 12pm on 27 December. Lovely.

Just phoned now to crap them out; they phoned me back to say they have contacted courier and it will be delivered before 12pm tomorrow. Strange that...

And this after they tried to deliver another order to my house today when I was out. Couldn't find the place, a few phonecalls for locating the place and then making sure sure my domestic worker would open up for him.

Then it turns out he didn't have my parcel in the vehicle.

Takealot are going from strength to strength..
