I couldn't believe just how good their pricing was for Threaded rod, Nuts and Bolts. By far the cheapest in town and always well stocked. The staff are super helpful and friendly with my business best interests in mind at all times. They have become my new "one stop shop" for ALL my industrial business consumables needs. Fast quotes and they deliver within 24hrs! What more could I ask for. If you are a manufacturing business I would highly recommend opening a account with Fowkes Bros.
I joined Discovery this year because it's the medical aid my new employer uses. My new employer pays my medical aid so obviously it was something I had to do. The Discovery broker that works with our HR manager put me on a plan the same as all the other managers in big CBD’s not knowing East London doesn't have a Delta network of hospitals or should have been put on a coastal plan at the very least. On Tuesday I was smacked with a R9100.00 Authorization for my sick daughter to be admitted to Hospital next week. After consulting my HR manager about this and changing my plan to a Classic saver (more expensive as well)plan straight away. Discovery refuses to acknowledge all pleas to change the plan straight away or back date the plan change to waiver the rather exorbitant fee of R9100.00. Discovery didn't even offer a slight discount to soften the situation. Its not even a costly procedure to Discovery. The point I am trying to make is I just get the impression of a money hungry medical scheme. Ironically Discovery is a medical scheme that doesn't really care about their clients medical needs. It makes me think what is even the point a medical aid. This never would of happened with my previous medical aid, which I regret leaving. It now bugs me that in Jan, when my plan change goes through, Discovery will be receiving more money for my plan change! ...VOMITT
