Old School SA has clearly gotten too big too quickly and lost sight of what matters in building a brand
I purchased a SA Supporters' Jersey during the Black Friday Sale as an early Christmas gift for my Dad. He tried it on and unfortunately it didn't fit. I reached out to OS to exchange it for one size bigger and they refused to in terms of their Black Friday T's&C's. I find this really frustrating and I feel like Old School SA has gotten too big too quickly with no regard to the circumstances of the individual customer... Now I'm stuck with a jersey that doesn't fit and because my Dad was expecting that as a Christmas gift, I have to purchase another one and fork out an additional R1 700 that I hadn't budgeted for.... Whereas, on their side, they have the larger size in stock, it wouldn't be an issue for them to just swap it for me. I feel like they're being unnecessarily difficult. I have purchased from them a number of times in the past bust after this experience, I won't be purchasing from Old School again.

The most ********* Property Developer I have ever come across!
I would give them no stars if I could, the most ********* Property developer I have ever come across. I cannot comprehend how such a large company can operate with such a complete disregard for their customers' interests and get away with it. It is abundantly clear that they are ONLY interested in their bottom line and that they do not care one bit about you after you have made a purchase. My 84-year-old grandmother purchased a unit in a Retirement Village developed by Calgro a few years back at which time, they furnished her with an approved plan of the development. Fast forward to this year, Calgro unilaterally changed the plan without even bothering to consult with my Gran. They then proceeded to build the neighbouring unit ON TOP of my Gran's boundary wall with the gutter and roof tiles encroaching on my Gran's property. Whilst attending to the construction of the neighbouring unit, they also broke a gas pipe on my Gran's property which was incredibly dangerous and could have caused major damage if an independent contractor (called out by my Gran to figure out why she no longer had hot water) hadn't fixed it himself. Worse still, they kept a spacing of 1.9m between the new units that they built but halved that for my Gran's unit. If they had just been ever so slightly considerate, they could have provided for equal spacing between all of the units but again, they were only thinking about their bottom line and how much money they could bring in for the new units (a major stuff you to the current unit owners). After kicking up a fuss at their less than ethical behaviour, they agreed to a settlement arrangement, which they completely reneged on because it was going to cost them some money (nothing compared to the amount by which my Gran's unit has been devalued due to their actions). When reaching out to Calgro via email, their Legal Advisor responded stating that they weren't mandated to consult with my Gran to change the plans that would negatively affect her in such a serious way nor did they require her approval and so they didn't approach her. How dishonourable can you be, to take advantage of an 84-year Pensioner in this way?? They didn't even bother consulting with/ nor give two hoots about her. Clearly, their only objective was to make the new units as attractive as possibly to prospective buyers at the expense of the purchasers who have already purchased their units and they probably thought at her age, what is she going to do about it?? Having witnessed the disgusting way in which they have treated my Gran, I will never ever purchase a property developed by Calgro again and I would recommend that you don't either to avoid dealing with something similar to the above as they clearly just don't care!

Terrible business practices! I will never support Vumatel
We have had the most horrific experience with Vumatel, just complete disregard for us and our property. In the middle of June, they dug up the pavement outside our house in Parkhurst, made an absolute mess and then just proceeded to leave their heavy equipment in front of our garage when they left for the day so that I couldn't park my car in the garage when I arrived home from work (I mean, how disrespectful can you be??) In addition, at no point did they request our permission to dig up our pavement to lay down the fibre lines and they just haven't returned to finish the job, just left the outside of our house an absolute mess for 2 months... I am absolutely disgusted by the way they have gone about it and will never support Vumatel

Terrible service received
I have received the most horrific service from Payfast. They merely state that they can't assist in any way with cancelling a subscription with a merchant on their platform. One of their merchants, the Green Gazette, has become a complete money suck. The Green Gazette's phone is not operational, they don't respond to any emails so it's impossible to get hold of them and cancel my subscription with them directly so I reached out to Payfast and over and over again, they just say there is nothing we can do about it, ON THEIR OWN PLATFORM. Eventually I ask to cancel my Payfast account to stop the money suck and they tell me I can't do that but I am free to stop using it at any time... How can I not cancel my account?? This is absolutely ridiculous, as customers we need to have the option to unsubscribe

A complete money suck
Please, please do not subscribe, you will never be able to cancel as you cannot process the cancellation directly on Payfast's platform without the consent of the Green Gazette and the Green Gazette's phone is not operational, they don't respond to any emails so it's impossible to get hold of them and it just becomes a complete money suck...

Not reliable anymore
I am so angry and disappointed! I have been using Aramex for a while to send packages for clients and I have noticed that you have become less reliable lately (and this is not due to the looting or protests). Yesterday, I had a very important package that desperately needed to be delivered from Mondeor in Johannesburg to Bryanston (still in Johannesburg) by this afternoon as I wasn't able to collect it myself in time and if it was delivered by this weekend delivery would be pointless and it was specifically required for this weekend. Accordingly, I specifically asked the sender to ensure that it was placed in the Aramex box why before 3pm yesterday and to write in the comments section that it was an urgent package and desperately needed to be delivered by this afternoon. Wellllllll this afternoon came and went and nothing.... I tracked the package online and there is no tracking information available on it. I phoned your Customer Services and was informed that the reason why there is no tracking info is probably because it wasn't collected. So my question is how can you offer next day delivery services if you don't even bother to collect the packages the day before. If my package with tracking number DBP46103937924 (dropped off at Pick n Pay South Gate Mall) is not delivered to me by 12h00 tomorrow I will not be using your services again for my deliveries as I don't find your reliable anymore. You can call me on: 076 315 1409
