Well, the funny thing about the "good" reviews is that they are on their own webpage! That means they decided which reviews to share. So, while trying to navigate the site, you're constantly bombarded with messages telling you who from where, bought what how long ago. It's a nightmare, like someone trying too hard to convince you they're legit. And it's fishy how most of the customer reviews give them 5 stars...

14 Dec 2021, 07:06Look for a review of Absolute Drip by someone named Ashley G. In it, she (he?) talks about how she had to get hold of Snapscan and Payfast and give them her banking details in order to be reimbursed for her Absolute Drip order... an order that never happened.
We paid for a pair of shoes (Jordan 1s) that our 12-year-old son picked from the site on 25 November. The 10 days in which we expected delivery, have passed with no delivery. So we went to the bank to get a charge back on that transaction.
When you use your card to pay for something that doesn't arrive in the stated time, you're entitled to a refund. You can also get the refund if you do get a delivery, but the item delivered is different to what was advertised. This is what should happen every time anyone feels like they've been scammed by operations like Absolute Drip. Go for the refund!
The bank will ask you lots of questions. They will want to ensure that if they process a reversal, they're not helping you commit fraud. Fortu

14 Dec 2021, 07:28nately I was able to show them some communication between me and Absolute Drip on WhatsApp. The record of my transaction on their website also showed that they had payment, but hadn't fulfilled the order.
Don't be discouraged if the bank tells you the issue will take 30 days for them to get to the bottom of. And it will cost you R80, but R80 from our R1,440 order seems quite reasonable.
Lastly I've noticed that the Jordan 1s we tried to get for our boy, are now collectors' items among sneakerheads. I went to a site I trust, wantitall.co.za, and found that the cheapest Jordan 1 is listed above R7,000. Wantitall sometimes source goods overseas, so that R7,000 might not even include custom and excise duties.
Basically, knowing that Jordan 1s are in demand with fashion-conscious kids, whose parents can't or won't pay R7,000 per pair, Absolute Drip positioned themselves as a source of affordable fashionware. There are no reputable sites on the net offering Jordan 1s for R1,500. I searched.
In summary, don't allow yourself to be enticed by Absolute Drip's prices. Don't be fooled by the name either. They chose it on purpose as it would remind most people of Drip shoes, which is a reputable online and offline local business.
But if you've somehow got to the point where you handed over good money for bad service, take the issue to the bank. If there are enough people complaining about businesses like Absolute Drip, then criminals like them will know that the long arm of the law reaches even to the internet.
