They should call this place Fashion city (or even Wig city). It is not a neat shopping mall, but a maze of small shops (like Marabastad). The parking area, passages and shops are very busy, over stocked, cramped and disorganized. Most shops sell the same stuff; not a very big variety. There are bargains here, especially if you buy in bulk. Some sell only bulk. The problem is to find what you are looking for. There are no restaurants or take aways. Just a few hawkers outside selling drinks, sweets, samoozas, pizzas and fruit. The Chinese there are slightly more friendly than elsewhere. Most accept just cash. I have not seen an ATM anywhere. It is located in downtown Johannesburg. It felt safe inside. It is wheelchair friendly.
I have been selling there for 12 years. It was the best selling platform in the world. But since they merged last year with UAfrica to form BobShop, it is not the same anymore. It stopped selling at BobShop. I sell now only from my website.
Courier FastWay, Pretoria The driver claim that the address on the parcel does not exist. This is not true! I spoke to the driver on the phone and told him where to deliver. He refused. He said I must meet him down the road at the bank. I PAID FOR DOOR TO DOOR DELIVERY! I told me arrogantly that he is not going to deliver and drove off. A week ago he claimed that he could not get hold of me. I have been waiting 2 weeks for my parcel. This is not right.
I bought from China via courier DPEX. In South Africa, DPEX passed it on to Sharp Logistics. They charge 3x more than DHL! (50%, DHL is about 18%) They are sharks and there is nothing that you can do because they have your parcel. DHL, FedEx, etc delivers in 3-4 days. sharplogistics took 5 weeks! Then they deliver without notice and complain because I am not ready to received them.
It displays too may irrelevant results.
I have not received an item. Ebay refunded me in 10 days without hassels.
I have been selling here for 6 years. I never had any problems.
The post office is not perfect, but I always got good service from the staff, especially Mr Vincent, for many years.
