Be very careful when renting a vehicle from Tempest. If you receive a traffic fine, they charge an additional R405 administrative fee on top of the actual fine amount. While their six-page terms and conditions (printed in extremely small font) do mention that an administrative fee will be charged for fines, they do not specify that the fee is R405. I was also provided with a lengthy explanation of the various actions they claim to take when a fine is issued on one of their vehicles, much of which sounded like legal jargon designed to protect their interests. My advice is simple: if you hire a vehicle from them, make sure you read the "fine" print carefully and understand all potential additional charges.
I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service I received from NetFlorist. I placed my order just yesterday, and it was delivered promptly today. The recipient was absolutely delighted with the quality and presentation of the gift, which far exceeded expectations. Thank you, NetFlorist, for making the entire experience seamless and memorable.
During a visit to Food *****s Market in Greenstone, I was disappointed to find that two of my purchases—the White Vinegar and Cadbury’s bars—were incorrectly charged at higher prices than those advertised in-store. Although the difference amounted to only R30, this raised concerns about the accuracy of pricing on other items for myself and other shoppers and is a serious point of principle. While the manager authorised a refund, there was no apology for the inconvenience, and the staff instead focused on questioning the till operator. This experience leaves me hesitant to return to this store.
Place order for 2 items on the 3rd Jan , I was then informed othat the one item was not available in the colour I chose and I accepted the alternative. On the 13th Jan I finally received a delivery and only one item was delivered. No explanation from either the transporter or Tendayonly(this is their new nickname as they always take ages to deliver. I contracted tendayonly yesterday and received an answer today blaming the transporter and stating that they decided to split the delivery and stating that it "should" be delivered today.
The quality of the Checkers plastics bags are absolutely appalling and they have the gall to charge R1.20 each. I bought 2 liters of milk in one bag and the handle snapped as I placed the bag into my car. I did not go back in to complain as I was in a hurry and generally service is very slow in their stores. The idea of charging for bags is to ensure they are reused and not just trashed. Unfortunately what we receive is trash. Time to move to another store.
We had a burst geyser and within 5 days Outsurance organised the fiting of a replacement geyser, as well as repairs to ceilings and walls. This was superb and very welcome service from the agent Phumzile Nkosi of Outsurance and the company that carried out the repairs (Starplex Maintenance) on their behalf. Well done to you all.
We had a burst geyser and the service and quality of workmanship from Starplex Maintenance was outstanding. I was kept informed of progress throughout the process, and the completed work of both plumbing and building repairs was of a very high standard. Kudus to them.
I had a data line and a voice line with vox. I moved premises and so cancelled my data line at the end of June. For some unknown reason, vox cancelled both my data line and my voice line. These were on two serperate accounbt numbers so I cannot understand why they messed up so badly. I have been in contact with them via cell phone calls and emails since the 2nd of July with no joy. It is now the 22nd July and I still have no voice line which is my business line. vox Service is Shocking
We have just had a terrible experience with this contractor. He quoted us to waterproof our patio cover which has IBR sheeting and the final product is really shoddy and incomplete. Throughout the process, I had to continually contact him to find out when his team would come to complete the job. His people would be there for a few days and then nothing for a week. I would need to call and then they would be back for a day. He complained that he other work and needed to fit us in. Then don't take the job. We now have an unfinished roof that still leaks (his answers was - "Full waterproofing carries a separate cost." Then why did he lie to us at the start saying it would be waterproof. He came to our house a few times when we had issues and just stood around talking nonsense making false promises and frankly just wasting our time. Never wrote anything down and then never kept any of his brash promises. I am presently looking into litigation to try and resolve the situation. Be very careful of him and his company and make sure you get everything in writing before you pay a sent.
I am always so disappointed in Huletts white sugar. 9 times out of 10 it is lumpy and hard no matter where I buy it from. Something is wrong with their packaging or processing I have never found this with other brands of white sugar, even the house brands at Pick n Pay, Checkers and Spar. THEY MUST BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
