BUSINESS NEWS - Hundreds of irate consumers took to Twitter in the early hours of Friday morning when their favourite online stores crashed the minute the Black Friday specials became available.
Especially in the crosshairs were retail giant Takealot and online fashion store Superbalist.com.
A visit to the Takealot website claimed it will be back up and running soon, while Superbalist’s read “oh no, something went wrong.”
Both websites seem to have recovered, but not before a flood of angry consumers made their voices heard on social media.
One user tweeted: “I want a R15,000 voucher for emotional pain and stress.”
Another suggested that the retailers make use of their own specials to buy more servers to handle the online traffic.
