Useful details to remember before collection

Before you collect your items, remember the following information to ensure a smooth collection process:

  • Wait for a notification: Do not go to collect your items before Takealot has confirmed that they are ready for collection.
  • Have your code or PIN ready: Ensure you have the relevant PIN or QR code to confirm your identity, as you cannot collect your items without this step.
  • Confirm your chosen location's collection times: Not all pick-up locations have the same operating hours, so it is advised that you confirm the collection times directly with the supported retailer beforehand.
