Worth the wait!
Stage Zero can work out savings based on your usage, so there is potential to reduce your monthly electricity cost. We have experienced a few long power outages (3–6 days), so I chose a larger system for backup. Installation took about 5 weeks, it's longer than expected, but worth it. My system (10 x 550W panels, 6kW inverter, 10kW batteries) was installed neatly and works well. I went bigger than recommended, and it delivers. We had two power outages after the installation, one and two days without grid power, we saw on community whatsapp groups of the outages, but we did not experience the outages. Cost-wise, I’m paying about R600 more than grid electricity cost me before installation, but now I have full solar and backup. No upfront or maintenance fees, just the subscription. Reasonable cancellation/relocation fees compared to competitors. If you can wait a bit, definitely worth it.

GAP cover worth it!!!
Took out Dischem Gap cover for my family. My son had to go for a ear procedure but there were a co-payment and the Medical aid let me know the specialist did not have an arrangement with them so there will be a co-payment also. I claimed the hospital and specialist co-payments through the GAP cover, and they fully paid both. Thank you Dischem health.

Great Service, Unclear Cashback Terms
I’ve been with Discovery Insure for approx. five years, during which I had building, contents, car insurance, and a vehicle extended warranty with them. Overall, I’ve had a positive experience. I haven’t had many claims, but when I did, the process was professional. A special mention must go to the way my major engine issue was handled. Discovery covered the cost of a full engine replacement through the dealership. While the process took very long with all the assessors and authorisations etc, it took around three months, it was a relief to know that it was resolved properly and didn’t cost me a fortune. For that, I remain extremely grateful and would definitely recommend Discovery insurance and warranty offerings to others. There is one area, however, that I feel could be more transparent – and this is more of a caution to others about the service. Discovery offers a telematics device to track driving behaviour, which rewards good driving with monthly cashback. There are three payout options: 1. Discovery Miles (monthly), 2. Cash into your bank account (monthly), or 3. An Insure Funder Account (IFA), where Discovery matches your rewards and paid into the IFA, the money can then be used for things like tyres, services, or excess payments. I chose the Insure Funder Account because of the value it offers, and over time, accumulated a decent amount. What I didn’t realise, and what wasn’t made clear upfront, is that if you choose to cancel your policy before a 3-year cycle completes, you forfeit your share of the contributions. In my case, this meant I lost around R5,900 when I moved my insurance elsewhere due to more competitive pricing. This didn’t feel fair, especially since it was money I earned month to month for safe driving. In conclusion: I still recommend Discovery Insure for both insurance and warranties. Their service delivery and claim handling have been great. However, I would advise new customers to carefully consider the cashback option. I recommend using the IFA to build up a reserve for your excess or tyres due to the discounts, and once that goal is reached, switching to monthly cash or Discovery Miles. That way, if you ever need to move your insurance, you won’t risk losing a large portion of your hard-earned rewards.

Great service from Takealot for many years
I order regularly on takealot.com, always receive my order on time or before delivery date with proper notifications. The platform and app are great to use and you receive your orders on time as promised. I would recommend Takealot to anyone interested in online shopping.

Bad service and delivery from Mr Shopper
I purchased a washing machine on the 27th of November 2020, it is now the 1st of January 2021 and still haven't received my order, status show out for delivery since early December 2020. Mr Shopper missed the first delivery date of the 10th of December, then I had to phone them and wait 20min for someone to answer, we rescheduled for the 28th of December 2020, which they also missed and no one has contacted me since the order. The platform is very nice, easy to use and nicely structured, and they have good pricing but their delivery is terrible. I have logged calls with their support email, and that did not even help as it takes days for a response and their promises are empty. I would not recommend Mr Shopper to anyone who wants their orders to be delivered on time or within an appropriate time frame.

More offline than online wireless
I have been with Fibrestream for a few month and in the beginning their internet speeds were great, but not for long. I'm using a 20Mbps wireless internet, but it is down more than its up, I have logged numerous calls and its always the same story, there is an issue at the highsite. Last call they said its a cable issue, so I investigated and found its the connection from the dish, which I had to redo as they did a poor job with installation. I went with Fibrestream because they charge a premium price so I expected a premium service as I use it for bussiness and private use. When the service is up I get between 1 and 6Mbps although I pay for 20Mbps. Luckily we have Fibre in the area now and will definately look for a different ISP who actually care about keeping their customers connected.

Didn't subscribe and cannot unsubscribe either
I received a sms "Your Vodacom legal cover has been activated and valid until . To view balances, buy bundles & save dial *135# or visit vodacom.mobi." I phoned Vodacom to notify them that I haven't subscribed to this service. The agent tried helping me but without success. She then gave me the number for their legal cover service provider who also couldn't assist as they are the department who assists with new and open cases. So now I have legal cover which I cannot unsubscribe or see on my profile. The vodacom call centre agent could see the new service on their system but could not cancel it either. Maybe I should keep the legal service I didn't ask for, and sue Vodacom because of these illegal subscriptions. This is not the first time.
