Takealot Nordic tv stand

I bought a combo, a nordic tv stand and coffee table. I only received the coffee table not the tv stand. I have sent countless messages and I am told that the supplier says he packed everything. I don't know what is the next step because I thought they could also check the stock against the sales to see if everything aligns, check the warehouse, or atleast talk with the driver but I am not being assisted at all. The four boxes contained chairs which were in good order, the big box contained the coffee table and is labeled coffee table, there was no tv stand box in.sight. I have been asked to send barcode, the big box surprisingly has no barcode and now I am being send from one post to the other

Desired outcome: Please send my the tv stand or refund me

Takealot Delivery

Good day

I am highly disappointed in the service I have.

My order was supposed to be delivered today, I checked my app to track my order and to see where is it. I found that the person who was suppose to deliver the order claimed that I refused my order, but I haven't received a call or anybody at the gate!

Please can this be resolved and delivered today!

Desired outcome: Please deliver today

Takealot Product / service

Return of Bosch stove 25/09/2021 : ref #[protected]
The light of the stove was not working anymore, I have contacted Take a lot and as per have agreed to pick up the stove and was done although I needed to wait an additional day for the pickup after the courier company came and said they will come back but never did.
I accordingly selected the wrong method in terms of reimbursement, which was credit my account instead of replacement. Yet I have in the box below reiterated that we would like to have the stove replaced.
Apparently as per conversations with various consultants they will replace and needs an override from a Supervisor or Manager. Yet this has not been done till today.
We have been inconvenienced for nearly a month and still sits without a stove, eventually when I tried to purchase the stove the same stove is nearly R 2000 more than original purchase price.
Please kindly go back to all recordings and listen to conversations we had regarding this, we have really been embarrassed with the kind of service we received and yes, we spend a lot of Money not only for the stove but other thing as well, look at track record. I am not asking for a favor.
All we ask for is delivered on your promise.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated

Desired outcome: need the stove to be replaced please

Takealot Delivery

I ordered goods on Sunday 24th October and got promised that my stuff would be delivered on Tuesday 26th October. Today is Tuesday and the stuff has not yet been shipped? On top of that I received no communication that the delivery would be delayed and I had to call to find out. This is not only inconvenient in that I did not receive the things I ordered on time, but also now I'm uncertain regarding the new date of delivery. I'm really disappointed in Takealot considering that it has a really good integrity when it comes to delivery. This is really disappointing.

Takealot Service

Order number [protected].
This possibly the WORST service in history. Ordered 3 items on Oct 1st... Promised delivery will take place on the 8 of May.
May 10 received an email about confirming address... I called customer care... Address re confirmed delivery to ta ke place on the 13th because the area gets serviced on Wednesday.
14th follow up telephonic ally... Oyama promised to follow up... Instead one item from order was canceled
15th... Tamlin promised to correct mistake and deliver coming Wednesday.. instead one more item got canceled again
16th no luck finding Tamlin or oyama
18th Tristan.. Will track order and update with email nothing happened.. Follow up in the afternoon now assisted by Taryn because I can't be transferred to Tristan... No fruitful answer its like no one knows or rather cares...
That time all of this is happening am outside the country and hv to do international calls... All I wanted was to surprise my son with a gift from mom...
Am GRAVELY disappointed with TAKEALOT..

Desired outcome: Update on the order

Takealot Huawei P40 Pro Dual Sim

It is not necessarily a complaint
Actually I wanted to buy Huawei P40 Pro dual sim phone but it not available at the moment.
I then decided to buy Huawei P40 phone instead. If Huawei P40 Pro dual sim phone was available I could top up the price I paid to acquire my desired phone.
Are there any changes perhaps to get the phone I so much need?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards
Moaga LA

Desired outcome: Positive response

Takealot Cash Mall which claims to be part of Takealot Seller Affiliate Partner

The above mentioned organisation recruit people with the name of Takealot and request them to invest money in their program promising earning potential from 0.65% to 0.72% per order times 10 orders, per day. They also have term investments where people are supposed to invest from R1000 for seven days at 5% per day, etc.

I had invested R200 on their apps. Yesterday I requested a withdrawal of R107 the results was processing. Up until now it still shows processing. When I asked the person who introduced me to this system, she does not have a clue as to what is going on. I also contacted their withdrawal agent who text back and said I should upgrade, meaning I should again put another money before I could request withdrawal!

Desired outcome: If Takealot knows anything about this organisation I may be glad if my matter could be investigated, because I suspect fraud or scam.

Takealot Clean product refused for inspection on return under warranty

Terrible service, machine not "clean enough" to look at for inspection
MRRN-75wgb-8kk5 I bought a 360 - C50 Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Suction, Sweep and Mop. Absolutely terrible service. No Communication to the customer. My machine is under warranty and has to be refunded or fixed. This pathetic service provider now tells my after the 3rd time that I try and book this machine in, that their supplier says the machine is not clean enough so they can not look at it. They are playing games so that the warranty expires.
