Turns out there was maintenance from Afrihost, which forces me an early night at 23h30.

Urgh… Day 2 of sinus pain in and around my face, congestion, runny nose and sneezing, couples with sore throat.

Sorry to hear… Sinus pain and flu are the worst. Drugs, vitamin c boosters, lots of liquids, lots of taking it easy and resting. Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, got panado but the rest I cannot. Funnily enough I find black coffee seems to eliviate it some what.
Thinking of taking the day off but that would require a doctor’s note, otherwise comes out of my leave.

I’m alright. Just struggling with some annoying code.
Have you gotten your tv situation sorted out yet?

Nope, the farce has gotten even more farcical, if that’s even possible.
They collected the wrong one on Thursday. I was told on Friday that the right TV is in the warehouse and would be sent as soon as the wrong one was received by them. Got email messages yesterday afternoon that the returned TV had been received. A minute later my account was credited, the return ticket was closed, and I got another email message saying the TV I ordered was not available: “Unfortunately the item that you wanted is not available and we have therefore credited your Takealot account.” 
All of this while the exact TV I ordered is still listed as being In Stock on the website.

Of course two weeks after I ordered it, it now costs R1000 more. So even if I wanted to be done with the incompetent, lying idiots in the Returns department and just make a whole new order from scratch, I can’t because I don’t have enough credit to cover the new price, and I sure as shit don’t have an extra R1000 to cover the new price. (Even if I did, I’d definitely not be giving it to Takealot.)
Someone who knows someone in a completely unrelated department at Takealot has offered to try and get someone vaguely competent there to intercede on my behalf and try to get it sorted. I’ve even suggested that, as a compromise, I’d accept an older model of the TV (at the same price I paid for the newer, of course). There’s currently 2 third-party resellers with listings for the older model on Takealot.
I’m going to give the contact of a contact a day or two to see if they can get anything resolved. If not, I’m not sure what I’ll do yet. Other than claim my refund and then close the account I’ve had there since the Kalahari.net days and never spend another cent on Takealot ever again - that I definitely will be doing if this isn’t sorted out soon.
(I’m already getting anxious thinking about the clusterfuck run around that getting paid a refund is sure to be.)

I’m sorry to hear that @GregRedd . Such things are horrible!
I’ve always had such good support from Takealot. It sucks that this happened and I hope it’s not how they are going to operate from now on.
And I hope you come right!
