Takealot has launched dozens of pickup points across South Africa, including a flagship centre on New Road, Midrand. The New Road collection point is now open as part of a beta test before an official launch next month, and MyBroadband ordered a keyboard from Takealot to test the collection facilities.
To collect an item, customers must select the collection option when checking out on Takealot. They will then be presented with a list of pickup points across the country – including 14 points in Gauteng.
Orders of R450 or more will qualify for a “free collection”, while the collection of orders which total under R450 will cost customers R25.
Customers will then have seven days to collect their order once it has been delivered to a pickup point. Collection times for this collection point was 06:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, 11:00 to 17:00 on Saturday, 08:00 to 17:00 on Sunday, and 11:00 to 17:00 on 1 May, which is a public holiday.
For those who don't know Takealot, it is South Africa's closest alternative to Amazon - a fair bit slower and a lot less stock. The challenge for many is to be at a particular place for the delivery (you must specify when ordering and with actual delivery often a week later who knows where you will be. So these collection points will make a lot of sense for many customers.
