It was our 2nd Anniversary, and the wife wanted a picnic. Now we could have done our own at say Emmarentia Dam, but I wanted to treat her. I did find it a bit pricey, abd the weather, she was not playing nice. Lucky for us, the day in question the weather was beautiful. When getting there, I suggest that you use Waze, as Garmin has no idea where this place is. The roads are a bit rough, and could be more so after a lot of rain, so I suggest again, book this place in winter and not the rainy season. We were welcomed with drinks and we were shortly escorted to our Private little corner next to the river. The setup was very romantic, with rose petals spread out everywhere, my only gripe were the stairs leading into the shelter, they are rather steep and close together, and you must carefully tread otherwise you may fall. The food was divine, and I guess most of the money paid is more for the experience and not the food. We were not disturbed at all, and when it came time to leave, they gracefully packed the food not eaten for us. Would I recommend it to other people - Yes. Would I do it again - probably not.
Why cannot Courier Guy give an exact time for delivery, why can we not track them in Real Time like Sixty60 does, or Mr Delivery, the tech is there. instead I must waste my time waiting for a delivery between 8am and 5pm, because they can only give a 2 minute heads up. UNACCEPTABLE!!
We had a unit in our vehicle that needed to be removed. We were no longer customers with Netstar for over two years, but the unit was draining the vehicles battery, so it needed to be removed. After long Emails back and forth, I was told that it would cost R287,50 to remove the unit. But they told my Girlfriend a different price over the phone, which was almost double what I was quoted. I was adamant that we pay what was originally quoted. I paid the amount on their insistence before they would remove the unit, I asked if I could bring the vehicle in as we needed it done as a matter of urgency. They did not give me an address, several days later a technician came around and removed the unit in less than 5 mins. Month end, Netstar promptly tries to deduct R230 from my Girlfriends device, for 'Removal of device,' so basically wanted to charge her over R500 to do it. Every time we have to reverse that transaction.
I bought an extremely expensive Navigator VI, only to find out just after two years of probably only using it once a month, that it is a faulty unit and prone to problems. . . . . . . "I apologise for the unfortunately experience you have had with your BMW Navigator VI. *There were unfortunately lots of problems with these specific units.* BMW South Africa is currently offering a refund with a 20% depreciation per annum on the BMW Navigator VI. We would however need the GPS unit back with us, along with a copy of the invoice from purchase. We will then submit a claim to BMW South Africa and they will advise accordingly on the refund value." So they no longer replace the unit and offer 40% depreciation on a unit that they willingly sold, knowing that it has problems. Talk about a kick in the teeth. So provided I do get paid back the 60% of the "Depreciated Value" on a unit with no moving parts, I would still require an extra R6000+ to buy a replacement unit. Smells Rotten BMW.
Extremely helpful, took the guy a few day's to get hold of me, but when he did, he sorted everything out pronto.
I bought a Medieval short swird from Blades and Triggers to use at the Medieval Fair. So all I did with it is carry it around in my belt, it was never drawn. When I took it off to go home, a piece of it had falled off. I took a photo and sent it through to Blades and Triggers, and they said that they would swap it out for me. So when they got one I went in to get it swapped out and they ask me where is the piece that fell off. Told them that I don't have it, because it fell off on it's own, and it could be anywhere. If I knew it had falled off, I would have just fixed it myself. Needless to say, they now refused to swap it out. So beware, if something breaks, they won't give you a new one if the piece fell off because of bad workmanship and no fault of your own. Needless to say, I will no longer be supporting them.
SCAM and I inadvertently fell for it and lost money. I really hate thieves and wish I had done a bit more research before trying them. So to anyone else, please be warned.
I bought a pack of 5x creams from this company at R340 per tube. I used 4x creams on a Tattoo the size of 20cm x 20cm. followed all the instructions to the T. After 35 mins into the session, the numbness had already worn off and I was in a world of pain. Did some further research and got hold of TKTX.co (International). They have informed me that TKTXSA are selling FAKE products. Be very aware of this.
I started having a Tattoo done at this shop in Kempton Park. After my first session, the artist could not continue with the 2nd session to some technicalities. When I went again, the artist had left. Then I was referred to another artist to complete the unfinished tattoo that I had paid for. I find out that the owner of "Blazing Hands" has not paid him at all to finish the work, and now she is taking money from clients and sending them to him, and not paying him to do the work. So she is basically using his good nature to take money from people.
Turns out that one tiny tube of very expensive cream is not enough, and I should have spent about R1600 odd to numb the size of my Tattoo. One tube is enough for a very small tattoo, if you are doing one about 15cm x 15cm then apparently you need about 5 tubes @R340 each. One tube of 8hr Black lasted about 30 mins then I was in a world of pain. I have to do 3 sessions . . . which equals almost R6000 for just the cream. Eish
