Active since Mar 2018
I bought a Weber Q200 BBQ and stand from Hirsch's Hillcrest (in Durban) a few weeks ago for about R10k. After 2 weeks and 2 uses, I noticed the inside (underside) of the lid was cracking and I could cause the inside coating to delaminate using just fingernail, lightly. The near identical Weber BBQ braai had for about 10 years showed none of this material deterioration. I followed up with Hirsch's immediately and after some toing and froing I today got an email forwarded from Weber saying the photos show no defect in the material. The Weber rep who came to inspect asked what temperature I have been using the BBQ at. Strange question. He also took a video and sent it to Weber JHB and confirmed that he can see and feel the cracking. Think twice about using Hirsch's if you thought like I did that they would back you up if their suppliers got an assessment re material defects wrong. Reconsider if you think that Weber products are superior and their support competent.

Frequently delayed by hours. Staff are generally not courteous and often don't have information on their own flights. A cheap airline with an even cheaper feel. Avoid unless you're cash strapped.
