Extremely Frustrating Experience with Kangopak I am extremely disappointed with Kangopak’s service. Last year in October, I placed an order through Lyndsay, and the parcel—sent via Courier Guy—ended up in Groblersdal instead of my address in Brits. Despite weeks of struggling and zero assistance from Kangopak, I only managed to retrieve the parcel after my lawyer contacted the courier. This year, in November, I decided to give Kangopak another chance and booked through Gaby. I explicitly requested six times in emails that my parcel be sent to the Courier Guy kiosk in Brits. Yet again, today I was contacted by the Groblersdal branch. The tracking number I only just received is wrong, and my parcel has not been sent to my requested address. It is unacceptable for a company to repeatedly ignore clear instructions and fail to respect its clients’ time and effort. I am now forced to start this process all over again. Do not rely on Kangopak to deliver parcels accurately or provide customer support.
New card machine not working 2 weeks after it was unboxed. I have now held onto the phone for 35 minutes with no answer by a consultant. Why tell me I am a valuable client, when you cant show that I am.
I have been using Aramex to send parcels to PostNet for years, and my clients have always been able to collect at PostNet branches without any extra charges. Recently, I sent a parcel to PostNet – Sunward Lifestyle Centre through Aramex. My client was then forced to pay R125 “pick-up fee” upon collection by Vanessa Andre – despite the fact that delivery had already been fully paid for through Aramex. This is the first time I’ve ever encountered such a charge, and it feels completely unjustified. And I have sent 3 other parcels to 3 other Postnet's this week, where clients were not charged. Nothing on the Aramex or PostNet platforms indicates that recipients should expect to pay additional “collection” fees when using this service. In fact, PostNet themselves advertise their partnership with Aramex and promote seamless logistics solutions. For years, customers have trusted this service because of its transparency. Suddenly introducing hidden charges not only damages trust but feels like *****ulent behaviour – charging twice for the same service. I strongly urge PostNet to clarify their policies, refund this unfair “pick-up fee,” and ensure customers are not misled in the future. Trust is built on honesty, and right now, customers are being taken advantage of.
I have been struggling with severe website and email service issues on Afrihost’s shared hosting since Saturday, 5 July 2025. My website https://www.gemsforhealing.co.za loads extremely slowly, often returns errors such as 503 Service Unavailable, no HTTPS certificate, error establishing a database connection, or doesn’t load at all. Even the Afrihost email portal frequently fails to load or times out. Despite reporting this issue through multiple support tickets and emails, I have received contradictory responses. First, I was told there was no issue. Then later, it was acknowledged that there was indeed a server problem. On top of that, when checking server stats myself, the disk usage was at 94%, which is alarmingly high — yet support insists this is “not an issue.” Every time I think it’s resolved, the problem comes back. Last night, the site suddenly worked perfectly after 10 pm — this morning, it’s back to a crawl. This is clearly not a website optimisation issue — I’ve cleared caches, optimised plugins, and worked with my developer. This is a server-side issue that Afrihost is not resolving transparently. I’ve lost clients and sales due to this unreliability. What am I paying for if I can’t rely on the most basic hosting functionality? There are many similar complaints on social media and Downdetector (showing up to 90% issues today alone), yet Afrihost continues to downplay or ignore the scale of the problem. I am demanding: A proper explanation and resolution Clear confirmation of what caused the instability Compensation for the business impact Or help migrating off this unstable server Afrihost, please stop brushing off paying clients and start delivering the service we are charged for.

It is the worst company you can do a review for. Every year for the past 16years we do a Hellopeter review for Vodacom and every year the service gets worse than the year before. Less than a month ago we sat without signal on the farms. And yet again for the past 3 weeks we do not have signal. We loose signal every 5 minutes. That is if you even had signal for 5 minutes. This includes 5 vodacom phones. A vodacom Wi-Fi and a card machine with a vodacom sim card. Clients have to wait 20 to 30 minutes for the card machine to attempt to reach vodacom. The whole area is asking .... do you have signal .... Congratulations vodauselesscom. NO we do not have service from YOU. And whomever of the public who reads this ... 3 days from now vodacom will send a message asking us to rate their call from customer service .... this is after customer service never contacted us. As usual. Losperfontein Brits GPS: S 25” 35′ 26 E 27″ 42′ 40
Are you supporting the farm attacks in South Africa vodacom. Or shoukld i say voda-useless. every time 1 water drop hits your tower our whole area looses all access to your useless service. Which by the way is useless 90% of the time, and that is when your tower does not crumble under the 1st water drop. We are in the Losperfontein / Wolwekraal area. And out of 1 modem, 5 cell phones and 1 card machine we do not have signal for the past 4 days. And on Monday we could not call for help when our wires were cut and people entered our property in the middle of the night. So my question is yet again, are you supporting farm attacks??? In 14 years your service has been useless, it has stayed useless and it continues to be useless. MTN has signal. But god forbid that vodacom actually provides the service that we pay for. You should not exist as a company. You do not deserve clients. And i do not accept that I must get killed before you solve the reception issues in this area. My wifi does not connect, my cell phones is laying on "no network coverage" REALLY!!!!!!!!! Is your tower built with jelly beans????? In 14 years I have added several hello peter reports, this area signed petitions, but no the vodacom god or should i say satan does not value his clients at all. And if you email vodacom directly a message like this would return with a message "we do not accept messages with bad language". So stick this in your pipe, I hope millions of people read this and stay far away from you. So let customers beware .... if you live near brits .... you will go through farm attacks with no way to call for help, because vodacom does not deem you good enough to provide the service you paid for. Oh, and I can't supply a ref number ... SINCE I DO NOT HAVE SIGNAL ..... My location, since you do not know where i am apparently GPS: S 25″ 35′ 26 E 27″ 42′ 40
I have been struggling for 2 days to book my clients parcels via the new PUDO website. SINCE PUDO'S WEBSITE does not work AT ALL. Your new website has missing kiosks ...... you can not confirm the parcel or quote, It does not go past the confirm shipment button at all BUT YOU DID MANAGE TO GET MY UPLOADED MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. I have 3 parcels for your company that I have not been able to book since Sunday. And I am taking 4 parcels to ARAMEX who's system is working and BY THE WAY 100% BETTER SERVICE THAN YOU. Courier guy BRITS best advice is to bring it in and pay more for them to log in there. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.... YOU UPGRADED (ACTUALLY DOWNGRADED) YOUR PUDO WEBSITE AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY EXTRA. NO MY DEAR, I WILL INFORM MY CLIENTS THAT YOUR DOWNGRADED BOOKING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AND THAT THEY SHOULD NEVER EVER USE YOUR USELESS SYSTEM.
Contract still not cancelled I cancelled my policy on 24/11/2023 with Vodacom and I was told the last debit order will be in December as it is a months notice. But they still charged me for January. That number is not even active since 24/11/2023. I was told they would email me the cancellation paperwork in December and I still have not received any paperwork and they are still deducting MY money. Never take out a contract with vodacom ....... On 6 January I posted on Hellopeter. On 2 February I emailed vodacom and it is now 17 February and the contract is STILL NOT CANCELLED
