In February 2024, I purchased an e-book from WIZE BOOKS and since then I hated purchasing e-books. The process I was given to download the book need someone with a Masters degree in computers; it is lengthy and cumbersome. Even today I could not download the book. I had to buy a hard copy. I am not sure if it was a **** or it was because I did not have the expertise to download the book. If you want e-books, make sure you are a technical guru, otherwise just avoid them or at least WIZE BOOKS.
Did you know that LOOT is among the cheapest book sellers if not the cheapest. I get most of my books from LOOT and there are no delivery fees. The books arrive well packaged and in the times promised if not earlier. I once mistakenly bought a book for just above R8K and was thinking I will have hard time cancelling and getting a refund. I could not be so wrong. It was as easy as ABC and my money was back into my account in a one call. THUMBS UP TO LOOT
Many thanks to TEXTBOOK TRADER for be an authentic online used books seller. I have all my 2 books I purchased from them and in the excellent condition they labeled the books. Anyone who needs books, go TEXTBOOK TRADER.
On the 11th of April 2024 I ordered a used BEHAVIOR IN ORGANIZATIONS book R1,068.00 and got issued with the invoice (order 12974) from BOOKMALL. However, till to date I have not received the book and when checking on their website there is no history of me ordering the book despite having the purchase receipt. I contacted them but they did not respond to my queries and that is where I realised I was ****med. Everyone can get ****med hence I write this review to warn people against Bookmall, they are ****mers. I could not find the book anywhere from credible stores. I then took a chance to search for it on Google and it appeared on Bookmall as a used book but in excellent condition. This was the same risk I did with BOOK TRADER. The difference is that BOOK TRADER is a credible book seller from whom I have already successfully purchased 2 used books in excellent condition on different occasions. I was hoping to get the same outcome from BOOKMALL but unfortunately it turned out to be a ****. I no longer have the money for the book and it is required for my studies.

It is a back and forth, pillar to post kind of communication from August 2023 till to date. I deposited R20K into my Totalsport account to settle my +-R9K hoping to use the balance later during the festive season. Little did I know that my account was sold to MBD despite having submitted all the requested documents. Since then I have sent hundreds of emails and lost hundreds of Rands in airtime requesting for the refund from MBD. It was only when I was told about Hellopeter that MBD finally promised to refund in February 2024 . They sent me their claim form to complete and attach proof of payment, ID copy, and proof of banking; which I did. It took some emails and a month to inform me that my refund is not R11K but +R7K. I was asked to resubmit the claim which I did but as always no refund. Somebody told me about the media where I can get help. My next review will be on TV, Facebook, and Tiktok. I did not know that MBD buys accounts from creditors and exploit the poor people who cannot afford attorneys. Thanks to Hellopeter, and in advance, to the media who will be airing my case. I have all the documentation needed.
SHOPRITE ELIM "Tiishejo Ngobeni, as the personnel manager for Shoprite Elim, has unfairly dismissed me without cause. She claimed, I did not scan a customer's R29.99 morvite porridge item. The claim came days after the supposed incident, but there is no evidence despite my request, let alone security footage or witnesses. As normal practice, I should have seen...: > the security officer who discovered it. > the customer who bought the item. > the item claimed to have not been scanned. > this on the same day it happened, or otherwise > the footage for evidence. All these are the points I indicated in the disciplinary hearing but were dismissed without notice. I even asked: > why did I learn about it days after the incident despite having chatted with her on several occasions in between? > why did I learn it through the phone when at home and from a colleague, while I was at work in between> > why is the case heard on the day the concerned security officer is not at work? > why is the charge sheet written "serious misconduct" while it would have been my first had it really occurred? > why was I given a copy of the charge sheet, not the original? I believe this unfair dismissal without warning was due to jealous: > she is competing with me in quality of makeup, dressing, and perfume I wear. > she had earlier reckoned that she will show me that Shoprite will dismiss me > this could have been aggravated by my family member when he complained about the lack of shopping trolleys in the shop while there are many trolleys outside. She has unfairly used the name of Shoprite to fight her personal wars and unfortunately we do not know where to report all these, hence we put it on this platform hoping it reaches the relevant office.
BOGUS MBD I lost income and submitted proof to Totalsport (TFG) for my account. Some seven months later, I got some money and paid (EFT) my account the usual way. I paid R20K which included settlement of R11K and extra R9K hoping to use it to buy some merchandise. Some ten days later when I went to buy the merchandise, I was informed my account was long handed to MBD and therefore should communicate with them as TFG has no more jurisdiction over the account and can't even see the balance on my account and therefore can't reimburse me, but MBD. Upon contacting MBD, the agent confirmed my R20K deposit and balance of about R9K but asked me to hold on (the phone) as she found out from the manager as to the following step. I could hear her moving away and some distant chats and after a while she came back only to hang up the phone without a word. The following day I called again and it went unanswered several times. The other day another agent answered and was warned not to pick my call. I then realised my number was saved and was showing on their system whenever I called. From that day (September 2023), my call was never answered and my R9K is gone. I now have to enlist the services of attorneys. Unhappy customer
Last time I made a review about Autopedigree Tzaneen. The Autopedigree head office called to indicated that they have referred the case back to the regional manager Limpopo who was supposed to call to resolve the problem. I awaited for the call until I called but to no avail. I then call the head office who reiterated that the regional manager would be in touch with me, still to no avail. It is a dead end. However, I would like to convey my appreciation to Hellopeter platform and crew for having given me an opportunity to ventilate my concern with the aim of saving some other unsuspecting gullible customers or clients.
I lost income two months before my bonus of about (R40K) which was an additional full monthly salary without tax (according to my voluntary arrangement). HR *******ly decided not pay my bonus which I was entitled to although it was supposed to be 10/12 of R40K (R33K); plus salary increments paid to every employee. That was going to make a total of about R37K. Luckily SARS e-filing picked it up when I received an auto return form which said SARS owes me R37K. It was good news I expected during such trying times without income (being a family man). However SARS started to come up with its tactics. They said I should submit all documents to which I indicated that the only document was IRP5 which the employer did not give me. The form came pre-populated and I submitted without alterations as everything was correct and some of the information were even greyed (couldn't be altered). They then said they will revert after 21 days of investigations. 21 days passed and I enquired without proper response except for automated acknowledgement of receipt of enquiry. I kept on enquiring until after about 40 days, they paid about R22K without explanation of what transpired with the rest (+R37K - R22K = R15K) except for about R6K which I owed them. Even today, I don't know what happened to the money (R15K - R6K = R9K). I thought government institutions can never cheat/rob anyone especially SARS until this year of 2023. My advice is to confirm calculations every time. The SARS system can be manually manipulated.
