“I ordered a pair of corsair headsets for Christmas in March it stopped working and I arranged to have it replaced they sent a message to say they will collect it on the 04 Mar 2022 which they did at 0941am. A few days later I got an email saying that the return has been cancelled and when I called them and done follow up after follow up they tell me after a month of no reply ohh our warehouse dont have it. Funny part is I got an sms say they collected the item. I called again today and I was told that I will get feedback by 7pm and still no feedback again the girl who ignored my email and she would get back to me emailed me for the first time since 13 March 2022 since I said I'm going to report her to her management and that their staff is incompetent. I'm still waiting on feedback its like they think I'm lieing about this.”

“They are ok but do not post bad ratings foe product so now I have to assume that in teality products are rated worse than what they display. Also it feels like the quality of products is declining and you should mot buy any products you have to put togeyher from them. The worknamship & quality is bad and they will not post your rating so you can not warn others.”

“I have ordered from takealot for years never had a issue and after my last purchase I never order from them again . First of all I order a product and what was advertised is completely different to what I ordered . Talk about false advertising.The customer service is shocking . Once I receive my credit and order something else this will be the last time I order from them again .”

“I brought a product from takealot and on receiving the product it was not at all like what was advertised on takealot. I ask for a replacement of the product, I received the same product once again. The service that Takealot provides these days are very poor. And until now I'm still waiting on them for a response.”

“I purchase from Takealot regularly. Recently I received a product that was broken but haphazardously repaired. The replacement was not much better. They refused to publish the review. Understand the reviews are not a true reflection of the product and Takealot actively skews those reviews - which is not too honest so can they be said to deal with their clients in good faith? you decide.”

“I ordered three of the same items. Takelot delivered the incorrect items as the items were incorrectly barcoded at their warehouse. After returning all three items, takelot only delivered 1 in return. It has been a mission to try and obtain the missing items which have not been delivered more than 2 months later. Takelot is now claiming that only 2 of the 3 items were returned but still have not refunded or delivered the remaining item for which they confirm receipt. Their returns processes are a mess and they have essentially stolen my money...”

“I placed an order on the 5th of February with takealot, on the 10th of February it was handed over to the courier... FAST AND FURIOUS. Apparently numerous attempts was made to deliver and rescheduling was stated many time on the system app... On 26th February it stated delivered... WELL NO IT HAS NOT BEEN DELIVERED! It is impossible to get help or answers... I have tried calls, emails, complain sites and so forth. Today I get an email to review my product? WHAT PRODUCT??? I have to this day not received any answers nor receive my package???”

“Dishonest practices, they "reject" valid reviews and refer you to guidelines when everything is according to their guidelines - hence - the results are skewed in favour of many poor products.”

“I brought a phone for repairs, which I bought four months ago. It was declined for repairs but yet they had the utmost audacity to remove my memory card which I have been enquiring about for the past two weeks and yet again no was in avail for help. I personally wouldn't advice anyone to buy any gadgets or anything electronic from them, because their return policy and service REALLY SUCKS. The worst of its kind because you can't exactly go to the offices and ask for assistance. They don't even deserve a star rating, there should be a negative star....”

“I don't use takealot that often. I've dealt with other online purchases from different couriers. I scheduled a delivery for Saturday and paid the special courier fee on Thursday. The app does not work and is not accurate at all. The app stated that my delivery was rescheduled. I then made contact with Takealot at 9am and was promised delivery today. I kept looking at the app waiting for arrival to see a message that the courier has to reschedule because the recipient was unavailable. But no history of a phone call was made to me, so how does one know the recipient was unavailable if you haven't bothered to contact them? I've made about 10 calls this morning keep getting promised that I'll get a return call and that they are waiting for the branch to contact them and give an answer. I even begged and offered to fetch my parcel myself because I'd been waiting the whole day for this delivery in fear That I'd miss the parcel. Herendous service from Takealot, and the no care attitude in customer service is vital in keeping your business going. I will never recommend takealot to anyone, high disspointed”
