I used PDFe to upload and edit a PDF, for which the fee was R13.11. The website did mention a 7‑day trial period, but trial periods are generally understood to mean free access to test a service. Instead, I was charged during the trial, which led me to believe I was purchasing a once‑off service — because honestly, who pays to use a trial period? At no stage — from the main page, to uploading, to paying, and downloading — was it clearly disclosed that I would be placed on a monthly subscription plan. After the 7‑day trial ended, PDFe deducted R1000 from my account without my informed consent. This lack of transparency is misleading and dishonest. Automatically enrolling users into costly subscriptions without clear disclosure is exploitative. I have since canceled my account, but I will be warning others about this experience. PDFe’s operations are deceptive, and I strongly advise potential users to be extremely cautious before providing any payment details.
I have used busbud to book my tickets for buss over the last 2 years. The booking system is excellent and has offered me a discount voucher which I have recently used. The busses I have taken has been budget busses from Johannesburg to Pinetown and back and from Johannesburg to Bulawayo and back. Booking system is excellent. I would however like to see a better check in system at the Big-bird Garage at Midrand, as you sometime feel lost and not sure if your bus has arrived or is still on the way. Currently there is no information desk. Otherwise all good.
