Misleading
Blatant price manipulation and deeply ********* conduct by SPAR Glenore. I placed an order via Uber Eats where items were clearly advertised at a 30% discount. I checked out and my bank account was charged approximately R980. Only after payment was taken did the store revert the items back to full price and then cancel three bottles of wine to “balance” the increase. Let that sink in. They changed prices after checkout and cancelled items I had already paid for. The cancellations were not due to stock shortages. The value of the cancelled wines exceeds the final order total which proves they were removed solely to offset the post payment price increase. I was left paying full price for fewer items than I ordered. This is not a mistake. This is not a technical error. This is a deliberate post checkout manipulation of pricing that no consumer should tolerate. If the promotion was incorrect it should never have been allowed to proceed to checkout. Taking payment first and then altering prices and cancelling items is misleading unfair and unacceptable. I would strongly advise against ordering from SPAR Glenore unless you are prepared for prices to change after you have paid. I would not recommend ordering from this store via delivery apps like UBEREATS unless you are prepared for prices to change after checkout.

Defective SleepSmart Bed with Severe Sinkage – Purchased 08 August 2025
I purchased a Forty Winks SleepSmart bed from Mojo Beds, Umhlanga Crescent on 08 August 2025. The mattress has developed a pronounced hole in the middle, which is far beyond what could ever be considered normal use. I weigh under 50kg, and despite this minimal load the mattress has collapsed to a point where it is visibly sunken and no longer provides any support. This is unacceptable for a premium product that is marketed for durability and long-term support. The condition of the mattress is far beyond normal wear, and it is posing discomfort and back strain. I require urgent intervention from Mojo Beds and Forty Winks. The product is still well within its warranty period, and I expect a proper assessment and immediate replacement or refund in line with my rights under the Consumer Protection Act. I should not be experiencing this level of product failure or having to chase service providers for assistance. I expect this matter to be resolved promptly and professionally.

Refund Still Not Processed After More Than a Month, no communication from the store
I purchased several items from MFA Furnitures online. When I went to the Tongaat branch to collect, I inspected the headboard and was not satisfied with the quality. I declined delivery on the same day and requested a refund. It has now been over a month and I still have not received my refund. I have emailed the branch and the relevant representatives including Waheeda, Robyn Swales and Jyotih Parbhoo Naicker multiple times. My emails are being ignored and left on read with no update, no explanation and no assistance. This is unacceptable customer service. I comp**** fully with their processes. I simply want my refund processed without further delay. I am extremely disappointed and request urgent resolution from MFA Furnitures.

Exploitive
I used UrbanConnect / Linklayer for approximately 2.5 years. During this time, the service was consistently unreliable. The Wi-Fi connection would drop daily, often for more than 2 to 3 hours at a time, leaving me without internet access when I needed it most. Despite raising these concerns, the issue persisted throughout the duration of my usage.. When I submitted a cancellation request and attempted to reverse it on the same day, I was quoted R1500, a figure that appears arbitrary and entirely unreasonable. This response reinforced my view that the company is not serious about retaining customers or operating in a fair, business-minded manner. I would not recommend UrbanConnect / Linklayer to anyone seeking stable, professional internet service.

Bad management -cancelled booking - false marketing
I booked a 60-minute sunset cruise through FOMO, which was valid for three (3) months. I used the provided link to submit my booking request, which was subsequently accepted by Waterfront Charters. However, they unilaterally amended the departure time from 17:00 to 15:00. I responded promptly, advising that I would not be available at the new 15:00 time and offered to pay an additional fee to board the 17:00 cruise instead. This request was declined by Edan. I then formally notified them that I would not be able to attend the 15:00 cruise due to prior commitments and adverse weather conditions, and requested that the booking be rescheduled. Edan from Waterfront Charters acknowledged my email, yet at 17:00 marked my booking as a no-show and cancelled it, thereby causing me to forfeit the booking and lose the money I had spent. Poor and pathetic service from this charter, very unfair and terrible business practice.

Pathetic
I purchased a few spices from Osman’s Taj Mahal at Checkers Oceans Mall during their “2 for R26” special. I bought Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika, and Orange Pepper — all still sealed in their original boxes. After storing them in my spice cupboard for just one week, I started noticing small insects everywhere. When I checked, I discovered that all of these spice packets were infested with bugs (weevils or something similar). It was absolutely disgusting! The infestation quickly spread to the rest of my cupboard, and I had no choice but to throw away every other spice I owned. This is extremely disappointing and unacceptable. Food safety and quality control clearly aren’t being taken seriously

Oceans mall poor quality
I purchased a few Osman’s Taj Mahal spices from Checkers Oceans Mall during their “2 for R26” special. I bought Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika, and Orange Pepper — all still sealed in their original boxes. After storing them in my spice cupboard for just one week, I started noticing small insects everywhere. When I checked, I discovered that all of these spice packets were infested with bugs (weevils or something similar). It was absolutely disgusting! The infestation quickly spread to the rest of my cupboard, and I had no choice but to throw away every other spice I owned. This was an inconvenience and posed a health hazard due to the fact that I’ve used my other spices in the week. This is completely unacceptable — especially from a store of Checkers’ standard. I am extremely disappointed that such a poor-quality, contaminated product was being sold to customers, and without any warning or quality checks in place. I have photographs and videos of the contamination and will gladly provide them if required. I look forward to your urgent response and a resolution.
