I can depend on this app, and it's easy and quick delivery
★☆☆☆☆Wynand Victor· Oct 1, 2026
More and more scammer suppliers on takealot with false advertising of product weight and/or volume. If you call it out on reviews, takealot rejects the reviews and says you must return it. If you return it, takealot says the weight is less because you used it even if the product is still sealed!! Corrupt and unacceptable.

Ordered a tablet needed for studying and 3 days before delivery it was cancelled due to lack of stock. I waited 2 weeks for this delivery to have it cancelled. Now I am very behind in my studies and will probably not make the assignment dates. I am very disappointed in your service and will probably not buy anything on this app again.

I ordered a book, when it was delivered I arrived damaged a big scratch on the front cover that dug into a few pages behind it. I returned the book an awaited a replacement. Two weeks later the book arrived only for them to have replaced it with the exact same damaged copy. They take their customers for fools don't use this app
