Unethical Business Practices and Questionable Material

Don't bother doing business with this company. DO NOT! If there was a negative rating i would have given them. Gomes Slab, Gomes sand and Precision Slabs are the worst company i've ever done business with. it saddens me that such business practises exist in South Africa; no wonder this country is going down, it's because of such people.

1. They employ illegal and undocumented foreigners. We have contacted department of labour to look into this issue.

2. They accept orders they cannot fulfill on time. When you query your delivery they'll lie to you till the sun set.

3. They are bullies. They asked me to delete my Google review so they can refund me for lintels returned - which they didn't.

4. The quality of their blocks is poor. Most of them broke before we even install them. We had to buy additional blocks to make up for their poor and questionable quality. Fortunately, we had to over design the slab to compensate for their questionable material. I bought additional mesh wire of better quality, the mesh wire reieved from them is shockingly thinner and light.

6. None of the employees want to take responsibility over anything.

7. Laziness - i have never seen such laziness in my entire young life. It took them 3 hours to load two pallets of blocks.

This is our experience with them. we would advice anyone to consider buying rib and blocks somewhere - maybe RMM - their lintels seem to abide to the SANS and are SABS approved. My next step is to conduct a compression test on their lintels and blocks to verify if they are manufactured according to SANS. We must do the right thing to protect citizens from people not following the rule of law.

We bought blocks and lintels in late in the year in 2021 after they accepted they'll assist us. a week after payment they still didn't deliver my order. We recieved an incomplete order after ten (10) days after making payment - totally unacceptable.

I asked them if i can collect my order and they promised to deliver; i asked them 3-4 times. i have whatsapp screenshots asking Jose and Jonas if i should organize my own transport. They lied to me that they were preparing the order which they were not.

I went to their factory on the 17th after being worried about my order. I left their factory at 17h00 when they finally had a truck driver.

The delivery truck left the factory wiht an incomplete order, they promised to deliver Saturday morning - which they didn't. I received the remaining blocks on Saturday around 16h00. I suffered considerable loss and delays due to their deception. Everything was moved forward by a week.

They didn't deliver steel beams which were part of the order. At the time of writing this review, they still had not refunded me for the outstanding material. It's safe to say they're trying to bully me and they are stealing from me - i am approaching small claim court and possibly engaging lawyers demanding refund.

I wouldn't bother in future doing business with such dishonest people. We will be uploading screenshots of conversations with Jose Gomes and Jonas are among some of the greatest liars i have ever come across.

This company doesn't deserve your money. Take your money elsewhere.
