After they took an order (paid for) for 2 stylus pens, I needed to phone to discover that it is "Out of Stock". After further delays (no communication), I requested a refund, which has not been provided. Very disappointing, and my assessment has changed from 'bad business' to 'dishonest business'.

I purchased and paid for networking equipment. I cancelled the order after it became clear that they could not source the equipment. I have been waiting for more than a week and have given up hope of getting a refund. This company is not reputable.

I ordered a standalone PC case for R1000 through gdtechnologies.co.za and paid via PayFast. After payment, they informed me they no longer sell the case without a bundled power supply and demanded I pay extra for the bundle. I refused, as that's not what I ordered or agreed to, and requested a full refund instead. They have not delivered the item, have not processed any refund (well past any reasonable timeframe), and have been unresponsive or unhelpful in follow-ups. This feels like bait-and-switch tactics: advertise and accept payment for one product, then refuse to supply it unless you buy more. Under the Consumer Protection Act, consumers are entitled to goods as described or a full refund for non-delivery/non-conformity. Their refusal to refund or supply as ordered is unacceptable. I've escalated to Pay Fast for a dispute and plan to report to the National Consumer Commission. Save your money and shop elsewhere—there are plenty of reliable PC component sellers in SA with better communication and refund processes. Do not risk it with GD Technologies if you value your time and money.

I placed an order for a RAM stick from GD Technologies on Sunday, 19 October. On Monday, 20 October at 15:32, I spoke to Klass Thole from 010 824 7637, who informed me that they had no stock of the RAM stick I ordered. He also mentioned that they would not be restocking it because prices had gone up — and instead tried to get me to pay more for the same item. I refused and requested a refund, as is my right. Klass told me to send an email to request the refund, which I did immediately. Since then, I have received no response or acknowledgement from GD Technologies regarding my refund. Today (22 October) I called again at 15:25 and spoke to Klass once more. He said he would “follow up with Godnwo,” but gave no timeline or commitment for when I can expect my refund. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. I strongly caution others against ordering from GD Technologies, as it feels like they are holding onto customers’ money with no communication or accountability.

I placed and paid for my order on Tuesday, 24 September 2025, for an Antec VCG300 ARGB case that was clearly listed as “in stock” on GD Technologies’ website. Payment was confirmed immediately. Only after I followed up did I discover that the item was not in stock at all — not even in South Africa. From that point forward, I had to chase every single update myself. At no stage did GD Technologies proactively communicate delays or provide accurate timelines. Instead, I was given vague, shifting explanations that changed from one day to the next. Timeline of Events - 24 September (Order & Payment): Paid in full for the Antec VCG300 ARGB case, listed as “in stock.” - 26 September (WhatsApp): Told stock would arrive Monday or Tuesday the following week. - 29 September (WhatsApp): Followed up — told stock was “confirmed” but not yet at their warehouse. - 30 September (WhatsApp): Told stock was “in the country” but still not delivered to their warehouse. No tracking or ETA provided. - 1–2 October (WhatsApp): Still no progress. I had to message multiple times in a single day just to get vague “waiting” responses. - 3 October (WhatsApp): Told they were “waiting for the logistics company liable for the shipment” and that no delivery date had been promised. Later that same day, told the unit had been shipped from China but not yet cleared at their warehouse. Only once cleared would they provide a tracking reference. - 3–7 October (Email escalation to management): Contacted their manager, Godknows (info@gdtechnologies.co.za). On 3 October, told stock had “arrived in the country but not yet released” and that dispatch would happen “today, Monday, or Tuesday.” On 7 October, told stock would be “released by Friday,” but even that came with uncer*****y due to their relocation. Despite multiple polite, professional emails requesting courier details, tracking, and a firm ETA, I received no concrete answers. - 6–9 October (WhatsApp): Continued follow‑ups from me. Still no tracking, no confirmed dispatch, only vague promises. - 9 October: As of this date, still no tracking number, no confirmed dispatch, and no proactive communication. - 10 October (Friday, 15:14): Absolute silence from GD Technologies. No dispatch, no tracking, no refund. I had to send a final message requesting a refund and informing them that I will escalate through my bank (FNB dispute/reversal) and proceed with public escalation. Independent Verification To ensure this wasn’t just a supply chain issue, I contacted other retailers: - Soundtech (9 October): Confirmed their supplier had no local stock of the Antec VCG300 ARGB. - JustBuyOnline (9 October): Confirmed their distributor had 50+ units available at the same time GD Technologies was claiming “in stock.” This proves GD Technologies misrepresented stock availability and accepted payment without the ability to deliver. Why This Matters This is not just about one delayed order. It’s about trust and accountability. A business that: - Lists items as “in stock” when they are not, - Accepts payment without the ability to deliver, - Ignores customer follow‑ups, - Provides no proactive updates, - Shifts explanations daily, …is not a business that deserves anyone’s money. My Experience in Summary - Transparency: Website listed stock that didn’t exist locally. - Communication: No proactive updates, only vague replies when pressed. - Accountability: Shifting explanations with no firm timelines or tracking. - Integrity: While I was still waiting for my already‑paid‑for order, the same case was later advertised on their site at a lower price. Final Word As of 10 October 2025, I am still waiting. No tracking number. No confirmed dispatch. No refund. Just repeated delays, silence, and empty promises. I have now formally requested a refund. If this is not processed, I will escalate through my bank (FNB dispute and reversal) and continue with public escalation. I paid upfront. I was patient. I followed up respectfully and consistently — via WhatsApp and email. In return, GD Technologies failed to deliver on the most basic aspects of customer service. I strongly caution others to avoid GD Technologies unless they can demonstrate genuine transparency and reliability. South African consumers deserve better.

I placed and paid for order two weeks ago. Since payment, communication has been non-existent. After chasing them repeatedly, I finally received a vague message yesterday: "Will look into your and give you update." It has now been over 24 hours, and I have received no update, no follow-up, and no delivery date. This company demonstrates a complete absence of professional after-sales service and communication. They take your money and then abandon the customer. Avoid GD Technologies if you expect your order to be handled professionally or if you expect any post-purchase support. I am now forced to escalate this with consumer protection authorities.
