Takealot / black friday article # 72.
Nice.

Why Takealot loves Black Friday - Because they are able to fool people into thinking they are getting a good deal, but are in fact just paying the normal price

 

[rubber_otter]

ride the black friday cash cow.

 

[grapjas]

Because they get to sell stuff for the same price as any other Friday but claim 400% more discount?

I’m sure their customer care adores Black Friday… looking at last year’s blunder in late couriering and losing goods on the go… yah.

 

[LCBXX]

Because it allows them to confirm that their site cannot handle the extra traffic?

I did a delivery to the CT Warehouse this morning. It looks super full in there. Clearly THEY think something big is coming.

Takeahike Kim. Forget about stress testing your systems and work on your terrible customer service.

I've never had bad customer service. I've just stopped using them because of no more free delivery under R450

I still use them for cat food and litter...monthly order is well over the free shipping limit.

Haven't gotten anything else from them in a couple years, I think.

Funny how there's been no articles on the terrible service...

It's almost like #retailcapture is a thing

They may stress their online resources during Black Friday, but their logistics has been a disaster during these promotional runs. From my experience...

Why MyBroadband loves Black Friday

Takealot funnels us cash

 

[PPLdude]

Don't you have to disclose paid promotional articles? Or is that not a thing

thats weird, because i get a takelot guy dropping off a pizza now and then

R450 for free delivery is still reasonable.

Already experiencing issues...

No matter which product I'm trying to add, this pops up,

You asked for 1 but we only have 0 available.
no items added to your cart

this when items are clearly labelled in stock. I will take my online shopping elsewhere, too much time consumed on a broken website.

Example:

Yeah, well, since 00:00 I was not able to access TakeAlot, even now I can't.
