Takealot messed up my order and won't fix it. I placed an order to have delivered to my fiance. They sent the wrong items, and upon returning the incorrect items, instead of shipping the correct items as they promised, they credited my account for only 1 of the 3 items. 3 weeks later and multiple attempts to contact them and they are ignoring my emails and keeping my money. Takealot will steal your money and give you nothing in return. If they fix this I will edit my review.

So far I've never had a bad experience with my ordered deliveries, everything has been exceptionally great product is exactly as advertised and works wonders. Appreciate the free delivery but hate the long wait for it to arrive, wish I had more information when when the free delivery applies or does not apply. But overall I'm a happy customer and will continue using the app as it's convenient for me and apply for the monthly delivery subscription.

The app is fine, but since December 2024 with all my orders there is atleast one product that they send the wrong one or it is broken/incomplete. Usually the products are ordered for a spesific reason and there is no time to struggle with sending it back. I end up with cheaper products and sometimes I order two of the same product and I get two different things.
