Fantastic quality shoes from a South African legend. I haven't heard about this company until a couple of years ago when someone told me that if I wanted a pair of shoes that would last a lifetime then I would have to check them out. Turns out that not only are the shoes made to a really high standard but that the people running the company also has a heart of gold. They donate a ton of shoes to people who cant afford them and they treat their workforce very well which is something that not a lot of people can say these days. In short I guess I am not only recommending my Baobab shoes but the good folks at Jim Green's too.
Pratley products have been sort of a go to brand now for three generations in my family. My grandmother in particular used to love Pratley Putty to repair virtually anything from her potting plants to knife handles to even a car dashboard. I have been using them for more than 20 years and I have used a number of their adhesives and they have all been both excellent in quality and life saving in emergencies!
Super friendly store that has a ton of great stuff. Always a pleasure to deal with!
In the last couple of months I have made a few purchases online and I must say that it has been a fun and enjoyable experience. All my transactions have gone well except for one and even then they kept me up to date and resolved the issue pretty quickly.
Capitec has recently made a few new additions and changes to their apps. It now requires you to take selfies to make transfers. This is both inconvenient and intrusive. I do not want this nor have agreed to this. Their service has been subpar as of late and it continues to degrade. I will list the response I got from them below. Johan Van der Sandt Why do I have to take selfies when I have to make a payment?????????????? I dont want to take a picture every time I do business. Reply6h Author Capitec Hi Johan, we can assure you that we took your security in mind when enabling this feature. Reply5h Johan Van der Sandt Unacceptable. I did not concent to this. It is both annoying and intrusive. Are you going to fix it or should I rather look for another bank? Reply4h Author Capitec This is a randomised additional security step to safeguard your account. Kindly note that your biometric information can be confirmed to authorize a payment. Reply3h Johan Van der Sandt Capitec Listen to me very carefully... I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE PHOTOS WHEN I WANT TO DO TRANSFERES. Your service has been pathetic as of late and now you wish to intrude on my privacy as well? You guys are going to get sued and bleed customers.
Always awesome to shop there! I find the site intuitive and fun to use. I have been a customer for years and will continue to be for many years to come.
Sadly this unfortunate incident has cost me both a lot of money and embarrassment as I could not pay for my goods nor use any of their services to order stock or run my small business.
<p>I purchased an item from Bid or Buy a few weeks ago and was informed that the item was posted on the 30th. Since that time I tried tracking it on their site with no success aswell as contacting them via email to which they never responded.I would love to know where my package is and what the delay is???</p>
